"Why would you be a villain in Gotham?" - for years now I've had this idea for a comic where some petty criminals get out of jail after serving their sentences and decide to go to another city to avoid Batman, like they decide to go to Metropolis because at least Superman is polite and when he catches you wont leave you with crippling medical bills, only for Batman to show up when theyre commiting their heist because he was visiting Superman that day for whatever reason. And they proceed to keep commiting their next crimes in another city, only for each time by pure coincidence, batman to show up because that was the one day he was visiting the local hero on unrelated business, until eventualy the gang just goes "Sod it" and moves back to Gotham because trying to avoid Batman is just too much hassle.
This would be a great one issue story, the kind where it's a pair of criminals telling their story to a larger villain at the start of the arc, or to more criminals comparing their tales of the Bat.
"Why would you be a villain in Gotham?" The latest issue of The Flash actually adressed it. Gotham is actually one of the easiest places to be a supervillain exactly because high number of supervillains and relatively underpowered hero. It's not Keystone/Central where you're going to fight 4 Flashes and their kids. Joker tried to bomb Keystone once and flew away 30 seconds later. It's not Metropolis, where you gotta fight Superman and co AND Luthor or Darkseid control all the crime. It's not even Star City, where there's like 5 supervillains so you are going to have Green Arrow's undivided attention. The only City easier to rob is Coast City, Green Lantern is almost always in space. In Gotham, yeah, maybe Batman will punch you. Or maybe he won't because Joker is poisoning water supply for 9th time.
It literally took me until now to realize that the MCU Vulture was a LITERAL scavenger like his namesake, since he stole alien technology left around NYC

I love how often the writers go out of their way to guve a character a sad backstory and then they just make the character a criminal because of some petty reason like "he liked being a criminal" in vultures case. It gives him a perfect excuse for not being a billionaire with his technology just because he like flying around and stealing big bags of money
I loved the look of Kingdom Come Flash, just the mix of the incredibly old-school costume with the permanent superspeed state really worked. And it even makes the helmet work, as in that state he really feels like a Greek demigod.
Vulture and Spider-Man are both technological inventors, except Spider-Man is young and Vulture is old. That's their foil dynamic, it's not a very deep one but it's there
Best part of those goblin bombs is there's NO collateral damage in that scene. it 100% vaporizes organic matter. Even the banner is untouched, showing it's synthetic material. They must have all been wearing cotton. That thing is a dream weapon.
There was one villain who got sick of New York superheroes. There's one comic where Shocker of all people decides fuck it and moves to Jersey to troll the hell out of Ms. Marvel, a literal teenage girl.
They took that from a storyline in the comics from the 90s when the vulture had enough being old. And he had cancer? The youth wore off after a while but he gained it "permanently" after absorbing a robot posing as Spidermans dad.
This video just makes me love the MCU Vulture more and more. A) Badass new design that actually makes sense. B) He's just hardcore in general. C) He takes advantage of the flight suit and avoids its obviousness by primarily attacking and robbing AIRPLANES. Name one other person in movie history who ROUTINELY robs airplanes.
As a kid reading Spider-Man books, Vulture was the only villain I could never take seriously or even find remotely menacing (no matter how hard I tried). To me, he simply looked like Frank Purdue in green spandex.
I propose a new scale to compare marvel Villains. It's similar to the 1-7 they've used in the past. But your threat level is determined by the number of nicknames Spidey has for you. It's established that Peter quips MORE when he's nervous and under pressure. So the metric could be established 1 nickname like Toomes here? Pfft. Okay. Whatever old dude. 15 like Kingpin? That dude can ruin your LIFE.
Thats the thing about Marvel's New York. It has the highest population of powerful superheros in the country. You'd think there would be no crime. But it's New York with about 8 million people. Even if there are 80 k superheros thats only .1 % of the population. The odds are on your side.
Firstly. Speaking of that Spiderman should have an easy time beating the Vulture. In the spiderman/spiderman 2099 crossover the spidermen switch places and the current spiderman runs into the Vulture of 2099. He's has metal wings with razor blades and also wannabe wolverine claws. Spideman 2099 had a real hard time beating this asshole. Regular spiderman beats his punk ass in two seconds flat. Second. The Vultures is sometimes depicted as having razor sharp wings as well. He frequently cuts Spideys webs with them. Third. Speaking of crappy villains. Mysterio must be by far the worst Spiderman villain. His thing is illusions right? All Spiderman has to do is close his eyes and let the spidersense guide him and knock that bastard out. Fourth. I also want to turn people into dinosaurs instead of curing cancer.
The vulture in the 60s show is in fate the Second vulture and just aper tow tree time in the comics his del is the first vulture is dying and Blackie Drago (the name of the second vulture) Stolen the flaming sut and after A copel appearance and the furst vulture kem back and didn’t die and refit Blackie Drago and hie sed hie never be vulture again it weird that Blackie Drago aper in 60s cartoon but not the furst vulture

And that is also further assuming that Batpants isn't off doing some justice league thing...

I walked into a bank while wearing a trench coat, the staff genuinely looked a little worried.
"Sir, put tour arms in the air, that includes any mechanical arms in case you happen to have any underneath your coat."
My cousin once tried walking int a bank wearing a motorcycle helmet. The staff was very concerned and told her a much

Yer dead-on about that cacklin'! 🤣

He's the vulture. He's opportunistic. I assume he mostly attacks in transit targets. Armored trucks. Government vehicles.
I just had a vision of the Vulture flying into a window & bouncing off it like when birds do it

Cotton, or wool, possibly even tweed.
Actually now that I think of it many high end clothes are natural fabrics
In all the videos you've mentioned bad audio thus is this first noticeable one to me. Lucas echos like every word spoken carries power, it's awesome
From Best Buy to Bird Baddie
There was one villain who got sick of New York superheroes. There's one comic where Shocker of all people decides fuck it and moves to Jersey to troll the hell out of Ms. Marvel, a literal teenage girl.
Vulture went from a bald weirdo to legitimately threatening thanks to Michael Keaton and the MCU.
10:56 In usual iterations he invents his tech in OsCorp but Norman Osborn, just like with his other scientists, uncredits and fires him.
I was definitely expecting something to do with vulture stealing peoples youth, was that an invention for the 90's cartoon only?

In new york you have two diffrent areas where yiu risk one of two spidermen whipping your ass and calling yiu names.
Rocket Racer and Big Wheel would be pretty funny
SpiderMans rogues. Swarm would be a funny spiderman villian to wiki weekend

I knew this was where it was gonna go...
"Yeah. I could improve the world with my abilities...
But consider. No.
don't forget that in the 90's Spider-man animate series, that Vulture was ALSO turned into a Baby >.>
The vulture turned in to a vulturespiderbeast hybrid. It was Silvermane who turned into a baby

The "Spiderman Associated Sobriquet Scale" or SASS.
Vulture has a Sass rating of 1, but kingpin has a Sass rating of 15. I think it works!
The thing is about Vultures wing harness is that im pretty sure it gives him spinal cancer so...not ideal
That’s why the Wiki said he’s barely alive. Vulture is dying to cancer but being comics it’s unlikely he’ll ever legit die from it.
19:52 Those were gold coins, not quarters.
the vulture is just reverse DB cooper

You guys should do one about Japanese Spiderman
HONEWSTLY THO like Green Gizzareded Geriatric is RIGHT THJERE
BIG BALD, SCROUNGING SUPERCENTENARIAN
What about the D tier Batman villains? What about The condiment king?
Nice
Fun fact: in the noir universe Vulture ate Uncle Ben
Classy
Can you guys talk about Mr. Negative? Only really know him from the game.
They've done a video on Mr negative already
It's on the fact fiend channel
Could you one day cover the spot?
I'd like to see a video on rhino
Didn’t the PS4 vulture get spinal cancer from his harness? Dude can’t catch a break
In all fairness. If they dont pay of the fuck batman scene with a batman arc they done fucked up. Invoking the batman is setting up chechovs gunman.
11:05
So the guy was basically tony stark, but not rich... why?
You should do Craven the hunter if you haven’t already.
The Falcon's falcon is named Redwing.
