So... that spiderman shirt... (new job tease)

[TarynH]

It was no less far fetched than the Blue Mage theories.

One was a theory based on word play, the other was a theory based on a single thematic element of a character.

Adding a U to the middle of a pitiful director's name, who ran his own Spider-man series into the ground with whatever Spider-man 3 was.

Or an origin story that relates to just about any Spider-man medium ever created.

I'd say the safe bet was with the spider bite theory. Wrong as it turned out to be, it was the more logical guess.

The hint/tease itself was a rather weak choice if anything. Which in turn spawned an even weaker theory. There were so many other things he could have used, other than trudging up a director who hasn't struck gold since 2002. Relating the comic book hero to a single director (even with cutesy word play) is like making the Batman hint out to be Timburt as a new job. It related in no way to the actual character of Spider-man, or anything about him.

So yes, it was a bad hint. Either way, I'm not disappointed. Any job is a good job. I'll level them all anyway. And I was already in love with RDM before any of this.

Also, your suggestion about Rogue. She takes powers from other mutants, not creatures, AFAIK. So Spider-man still fits BLU far better than her. Last I checked, BLU didn't sing to the birds to get them to cooperate. They had to have the ability used against them; or in other words attacked by them.
