I think that applies to most if not all comic book villains. In the name of maintaining a status quo to keep on printing stories, they are not allowed to change as people in the long term, just for how long the studio needs them for whatever story arch they are making
I remember that in the game, the only reason why Rhino was so angry was because people were calling him Rhino, so much so that he only joined Doctor Oct as he promised a way out of the suit
My god this is a good comic. Feels like batman villain comic for most of it but it does have a somber ending yet one that is still far less depressing than any batman comic.
And it also makes you realize Spider-Man is an asshole I was actually rooting for rhino to win and kill all the gangsters at the hideout and was angry at Spider-Man for stopping him
@@12345legofreak I know but you start feeling bad for him forgetting his crimes and also listening to Spider-Man make jokes while beating your ass is not very fun probably for the guy getting his ass beat
i like how it differs though, im sure a one to one copy would be alright but them changing it to him wanting to regress instead of being forced to was interesting
I thought in Flowers for Algernon the experiment actually caused the subjects to start "decomposing" in a sense, like they would regress and then keep regressing
OK but can we please acknowledge that when deadpool invited spidermans villains to his birthday party rhino is the only one to actually bring him a present implying that he was there to chill at first
This story reminded me a lot of Killer Croc in that one Batman comic where he develops feelings for a woman he’s hired to protect, but fears she would never love him back. And as sad as Rhino’s story is Croc’s story Batman ends much more tragically.
Honestly Juggernaut is in the same boat as Rhino. You think he wants to go around running through buildings everyday? He has to in order to keep his power from Cytorak.
@@genesismultiverse4896 His power is not that of a mutant. He recieves it from an evil diety that demands chaos and destruction. The more he destroys, the more power he recieves. If he stops or even worse, tries to be peaceful and helping, he will start to slowly die
Personally, I see Rhino, Sandman, and Electro (at least in the "Ultimate" timeline) as being tied for the most sympathetic Spider-Man villains, purely because their original accidents permanently changed them and removed some key aspect of their humanity: Rhino being stuck in a giant body with a numb sense of touch, Sandman becoming nothing more than a sentient sand sculpture, and Electro being a living bundle of electricity. They all have reasons for why they are committing the crimes, they all have reasons to want to become better people, but they all have things which keep their situations from improving for too long.
Would Scorpion also fit this bill? The guy completely got his life destroyed effectively because of JJJ. He was just a desperate investigator who needed money.
That is a cruel fate. A change in Rhino's status quo did make a good story, if a short one. Although it would've been nice of Spider-Man to be there to talk him out of the rash choice of suicide, I get that it isn't necessarily Peter's responsibility. I'm glad he didn't need to and Rhino made a better decision on his own, even if it was still ultimately leading full circle to a near-mindless state. Would've liked it if he could've stayed more human from his decision to get his intelligence increased. But he did end up staying a villain even while the intelligence was working for him.
Rhino has always been tragic because his origin story is honestly both sad and incredibly real. He came from a poor Russian family and he wanted a better life for his mom so he took what little money he had and took a boat to America so he could earn more cash and pay his family’s way across. The issue is that he’s a dumb, uneducated Russian immigrant in New York City. Theirs not many jobs he can get that would be able to keep a roof over his head and pay for a one way trip to America from Russia. So he fell in with a bad crowd, became hired muscle for a gang . You don’t need to be smart to crush some heads but they got wrapped up in some evil scientists schemes and offered up Aleksi to the experiment to make him tougher. He’s making him the rhino but after a while he started thinking “I’m stronger and tougher, why do I need these guys to get money?” And he went rouge which got the attention of Spider-Man and landed him in jail. Now he’s trapped, in a Rhino suit, is a wanted criminal who will never see the light of day if the Justice and prison systems could have their way. He came to America for a better life and because he was too stupid and desperate, he ruined it forever.
Might not have been Peter's responsibility, but it is in his character. I'm sure Peter would've helped him, and would help him regress the intelligence to not stupid but functional and helped him be happier. Idk why comic writers always have to go for the shitty feel bad ending.
People say this is a cruel fate but really rhino just went back to how he was before but happier, yeah maybe his life as a kingpin might have been better but that didn’t satisfy him and he went back to what makes him happy, if anything this is a story about rhino finding true happiness.
Great work my friend, I’ve not seen anyone else cover this comic but your script, story telling and expression really brought out Rhinos emotions for me in a relatable way and made me understand him a little better. I think we all have a little Rhino in us. Keep up the good work bro!
This is an exact story line from one of my all time favorite books Flowers for Algernon. Later the book was made into a movie renamed Charlie. This story adaptation gives a nod in the name Flowers for Rhino.
Reminds me of Rhino's story from PS4 Spider-Man, he also wanted out of his suit and give up being the Rhino. Unlike this one, PS4 Rhino is decently intelligent and his suit is just a supersuit and not a mutation (Which I think is this Rhino's story? Not entirely sure.), unfortunately though, there's no escaping the Spider-Man, his dream of returning to Russia and not trampling a field of flowers will not be achieved.
The trope with the "Character becomes a genius and a jerk in the process" is a little bit worn out but it works here I think. It's a sad little story but with a bittersweet end. In the end, you can't escape what you are, there are things you can do and things you can't. And if the things you can do well make you happy, then all the better.
This comic is clearly inspired by Flowers for Algernon, though it feels maybe just a bit too derivative. Definitely some great development for Rhino though.
A comic adaption of the book "flowers for Algernon" ? kinda wild and the fact they made it "flowers for rhino" is kinda hilarious. i remember doing a big project on that novel back in highschool, cool seeing the discussion around that book brought up again in a more modern setting
Honestly I would take the increase in intelligence as there is actually more evidence to support hyper mind hyper body theory... meaning that technically he would have all those mental abilities and they would continue to grow even his artistic and emotional experiences would grow richer along with them
It could have been a side affect of the specific procedure the mad scientist did. This is just headcannon, but it might have made him more intelligent by reworking the parts of the brain that handle emotions.
He suffered from severe savantism. He was being evolved (or even de-volved) down to nothing but a supercomputer that deals in nothing but logic and absolutes.
The problem with being the smartest man in the world is you become the loneliest man in the world. You see the world in a way that nobody else can, and it's alienating.

Barely a month - a month- after the operation he became the kingpin. Ok, no, that's just too much. You can make time jumps, give it time even if it's not shown
Rhino ain't even wrong. Sad thing about being dumb is that, no matter how much you try to improve yourself, it's all people will see in you: dumb. Sadder is that it's the better option because when you're smart, everyone becomes dumber than you, so if you play their game and choose to be dumb, you can be free from the dumb that think they're smart and be smarter than the dumb by still being dumb. Rhino didn't choose to be dumb just to please others, he did it because that's what makes him happy, and you know what? That's the smartest thing the dumb can do.

I guess even at his super genius intellect it was true, he figured out there was never a scientific way to separate himself from his suit. Unless he got molecule man or some omega level mutant that could magic it away.
The logical smart thing for smart rhino to do was to use his intelligence to get him out off the rhino suit or transformhim back to human why go back to being dumb. Its stories like this thats frustrating cause if they had made rhino back to human and given him a happy ending especially we know there's a multiverse of Spider-Man and the marvel universe.

On March 26th 2022, just past midnight, I was laying restless in bed, and I had a heart attack. My arms became tingly and numb, then my chest got tighter, and then my heart felt like it was being crushed. So I sang out to God and Jesus, about my pain, my feelings, my faults and my inabilities. As I sang, I began to feel like a river, and His hand's fingers where skimming the surface, separating the waters, causing ripples through my body. Then His hand reached inside, and lit my heart on fire, the heat moved like waves through my body. When I was done singing, all the pain was gone, and I looked at the clock, it was past 1am, I had been singing near an hour. Then the voice of my guardian angel called my name from above, and there was a hymn of energy in the air, the same hymn I hear in my dreams of God. Hallelujah for the Lord my God! Hallelujah for His son Jesus! Hallelujah for every day! Hallelujah for every breath!
Sounds like that SpongeBob episode where Patrick got smarter and everyone began to dislike him being more intellectual.🧐 Then dumbed himself down again.

he could not date a psycho b*tch. He basically became Kingpin except Kingpin has a wife that loves him

Getting a restraining order fo spiderman is genius
I never thought about it. How does he use the bathroom?
The logical smart thing for smart rhino to do was to use his intelligence to get him out off the rhino suit or transformhim back to human why go back to being dumb. Its stories like this thats frustrating cause if they had made rhino back to human and given him a happy ending especially we know there's a multiverse of Spider-Man and the marvel universe.
Spider man has 50 most tragic villains at this point
Moe Szyslak: All right, tell me when I hit the sweet spot.
Homer: Deeper, you pusillanimous pilsner pusher!
Moe Szyslak: All right, all right!
[he hammers the crayon further up Homer's nose]
Homer: De-Fense! Woof! Woof! De-Fense! Woof! Woof!
Moe Szyslak: Eh, that's pretty dumb. But, uh...
[hammers the crayon up more]
Homer: Extended warranty? How can I lose?
Moe Szyslak: Perfect.

Rhino is just another version of Juggernaut.
oddly wholesome story.

bro forgot about the wall man
Omg this is that Simpsons episode where Homer tells Moe to shove the crayon back into his brain, after it was surgically removed and Homer got too smart for his own good.
I found it funny with the fox kids spider-man cartoon rhino had a american accent and I didn't know he was russian.
This is a fairly heavy looking story and I think I will actually read it. But one question, is the, uh, physical aspect of Rhino and Stella's relationship even hinted at. Because, I don't actually understand how that could even work. I guess it wouldn't have with The Thing and that blind girl either. 😂🤣🤣😂
This story reminds me of killer crocs but in reverse
All Rhino wants to do is be the new Kool-Aid Man.
On March 26th 2022,
just past midnight,
I was laying restless in bed,
and I had a heart attack.
My arms became tingly and numb,
then my chest got tighter,
and then my heart felt like it was being crushed.
So I sang out to God and Jesus,
about my pain, my feelings,
my faults and my inabilities.
As I sang, I began to feel like a river,
and His hand's fingers where skimming the surface,
separating the waters,
causing ripples through my body.
Then His hand reached inside,
and lit my heart on fire,
the heat moved like waves through my body.
When I was done singing,
all the pain was gone,
and I looked at the clock,
it was past 1am,
I had been singing near an hour.
Then the voice of my guardian angel called my name from above,
and there was a hymn of energy in the air,
the same hymn I hear in my dreams of God.
Hallelujah for the Lord my God!
Hallelujah for His son Jesus!
Hallelujah for every day!
Hallelujah for every breath!
How is that tragic? dude litterally living his best live in the end.
The latter half of the middle is where the tragedy lies.
Man i wad hoping for him to have some sorta good ending...thats why i like SM villans they all have ways of making you root for em ya know?
I think you're forgetting about the wall. Everybody does.
Sounds like that SpongeBob episode where Patrick got smarter and everyone began to dislike him being more intellectual.🧐 Then dumbed himself down again.
moe, I want you to push this crayon into my brain!
