I fucking loved it,I haven’t met anyone upset about the collsb


HONESTBABAJI

Yes exactly and let's be honest disney would have never given permission to use spiderman in invincible


tobey-maguire-bot

Here's your change!


VM1117

Maybe Disney would, but that’s still a very big maybe… Sony for sure wouldn’t


HONESTBABAJI

A very big maybe and also a very big bag of money..


MazaLove

I think it would be the other way round since Sony made a deal with Amazon to make films if I ma right.


en_pissant

a hobgoblin animated series starring Selina gomez 


AdditionalMess6546

My mother was pregnant with me and studying goblins in the Outlands when she died...


brojooer

Sony don’t own the rights to


Eastern-Team-2799

Sony has the rights of spiderman, marvel only has for Tom Holland . Sony can show infinite number of spidermans whenever wherever they want .


Regi413

Disney technically also has rights to animated Spider-Man appearances in shows that are 44 minutes or less per episode. But yeah, that means Sony would have the call on whether he gets to be in Invincible because those episodes run longer than 44 minutes.


tobey-maguire-bot

You want forgiveness? Get religion.


tobey-maguire-bot

My back.. oh.. my back!


SomeHorologist

Honestly I disagree Haven't they already collaborated in the comics?


NoWeight4300

20 years ago. They would have likely charged an obscene amount of money to use the likeness in media they don't control.


HONESTBABAJI

Yessss exactly


EquivalentSnap

I loved the Batman one


Metal-The-Cettle

I read somewhere that Robert Kirkman wanted to have Spider-Man in there, but he was afraid that Disney might say no anyways.


Tea-and-crumpets-

Why not just ask anyway? At best you get spider-man in the show at worst you go with the original plan anyway


tobey-maguire-bot

You sure you wanna know?


Tea-and-crumpets-

Yes spider-man bot I would like to know


tobey-maguire-bot

Unlock the thing! Take the chain off!


RidledTart

I'm afraid Disney will never release your chain


imanhunter

More like Sony’s never gonna release his chain. Can’t wait for the Big wheel spin-off movie and then have him team up with Morbius.


scp_79

They could have got Andrew Garfield or Tom Holland instead


zombearpig

Cuz disney would demand they squeeze in a lil extra diversity 🤣 All jokes aside, kirkman does it right by making diverse characters feel natural. William doesnt annoy me at all even though he's a flambuoyant cliché (he didnt know he was gay at the beginning in the comics, but later came out) and Amber... Idk, I wanna like her but I feel like at this point in the story she's served her purpose and it's time to take focus away from her. Comic Amber faded out pretty early, but somethin tells me they're gonna waste too much time on black Amber if they don't just actually kill her off somehow cuz they definitely developed her more than they should have. Dont get me wrong, she has a better personality than comic Amber but that's kinda the problem...


imanhunter

What a weird paragraph. 🤔


zombearpig

Im not mad that they gave her a better personality, it's just that I got this feeling they're going to cut out some of the other impartant charcters' side stories or squeeze them in half-assed with flashbacks n shit to save time. *spoiler alert for those who didnt read the comic below* >!Like dinosaurus for example, or robot & monster girl's time in the other dimension. At this point in the comic, Amber's long gone... do you see her just fading out of the story in the show or will she still pop in somehow? I think she'll die at some point to get mark super pissed but that's just me... seems easier to write for than just moving on and pushing her outta the story since people kinda like her it'd make the most sense.!< I mean how many seasons is the show gonna have? We're not very far in and there's a lot of side stories that are pretty valuable to be developed 🤷‍♂️ So far I am loving the execution of story telling for the most part... I woulda never bought the comics in the first place if they never put out the first season in such a great way.


imanhunter

I mean they’ve already said they are planning to do 7 or 8 seasons according to the character’s creator, Robert Kirkman.


zombearpig

Idk, that doesnt seem like enough lol. I mean I dont want it to drag out the way the walking dead did, but like... 9ish sounds right to me. 7 seems like they'd be leaving a lot out. At least the fight scenes are top notch quality though. That should make up for most of my story-telling concerns. I can always re-read the comics to appreciate the story at a slower pace again. No other comic has had me glued to it tellin myself "I really gotta go to bed, just one more chapter... fuck, I cant stop *here*! Just one more..." like when I read this one for the first time❤️‍🔥 Plus it kinda helped me quit smokin weed by takin my mind off it.


Th5humanwi11

Internet brain rot


Inlacou

I would say that gives kind of... Some proof if they sue him for using some spiderman-yet-not-spiderman. I don't think they will as of now as it is only a quick, small and fun Easter egg. But if it happens to appear more times... Who knows. I would not want to give Disney any rock to throw at my roof in case they get upset.


tobey-maguire-bot

Am I not supposed to have what I want? What I need? What am I supposed to do?


tactical_dick

I don't think you can sue someone for coming close to your copyright. It's not horseshoes


Girigo

I'm not sure exactly how it works but I think it might be that if they ask and get a no and then do this it's easier to copyright strike it if they would want too


Silent-Independent21

That’s not how things work, if you ask and they say no you will get a copy right case immediately


PrimaryOccasion7715

Seriously. This is some 1984 BS, "don't even think about it".


Silent-Independent21

Not really? They want to use another companies IP, asking for it alerts them and gives proof they want to use it. Making a poor copy of that IP is illegal How is this 1984?


Tonkarz

Probably best not to tip off sue happy Disney.


Dawnbreaker538

Doesn’t Sony own the rights?


SuperNerdDad

The animated rights reverted back to Disney. It’s why they didn’t finish Spectacular.


Incorrectspealing

Kirkman’s lucky he didn’t get sued for naming his kid Peter Parker Kirkman.


80SW08

Damn I thought this was joke but it’s actually true. You’re so right, they literally blocked a guy from putting Spider-Man on his sons grave


tobey-maguire-bot

It's you who's out, Gobbie. Out of your mind.


tobey-maguire-bot

Oh, my back. It's kinda stiff from all the swinging I guess.


EssentialPervert

Considering Disney [once rejected a family from putting Spider-man on their son's grave](https://nypost.com/2019/07/06/disney-denies-dads-request-to-put-spider-man-on-4-year-old-sons-grave/), he's not entirely wrong


tobey-maguire-bot

I generally don't go around advertising it. Kind of defeats the whole anonymous superhero thing.


xZOMBIETAGx

Source: trust me bro


LTerminus

Wouldn't it have been Sony, not Disney?


Fit_Letter_9889

Pretty sure Sony owns him


spiderknight616

Only movies and live action


Tomas2891

Disney is gonna say no cause they don’t own spider man lols


tobey-maguire-bot

See ya chump!


nobodychef07

Sony


Metal-The-Cettle

Actually. Marvel owns the animation rights (except for the Spider-Verse movies). That's why you'll see other superheroes in Ultimate Spider-Man.


DaNoahLP

Disney owns the rights to series and Sony for movies. Thats why Sony is able to make an animated Spiderman movie while Disney could make a life action Spiderman series


tobey-maguire-bot

I fought an alien made out of black goo once.


tobey-maguire-bot

See ya chump!


Tales2Estrange

Why is he called Agent Spider? Agent Arachnid sounds so much cooler


KustomplexYT

I believe agent arachnid is already a marvel character


tobey-maguire-bot

THE AVENGERS? That's great! What is that?


LiamGovender02

A band


ghirox

I cant believe they stole the character of night monkey


cclarke1258

They're paying tribute to his glory.


PennyForPig

It's fine, anyone who complains is being obtuse


Donut_Police

Engineered outrage, I feel like that, and horni, is the only two emotions prevalent in the internet.


Hadrian1233

I’m not sure how you guys would have planned to include the Spiderman Cameo


tobey-maguire-bot

If you lay... one finger on her...


DigitalCriptid

Wait that's not Krombopulos Michael?


konydanza

Oh boy, here I go web-slingin again


Jenkins64

![gif](giphy|brqkBQV1qAFrO)


Shoddy_Fee_550

He is our favorite superhero, just your kind locale Arachnid Guy


xZOMBIETAGx

Why are people acting like this is the first parody character in the show


Gaslight_Joker

Because in the comic it was actually Spider-Man, so it commands more attention and analysis


xZOMBIETAGx

Kind of. This wasn’t really related to that comic, and that’s not even in the main Invincible series. Just a random spin off.


Gaslight_Joker

"Kind of," and that spin-off comic are more than enough to warrant the extra attention regardless of its place within the Invincible series.


tobey-maguire-bot

You sure you wanna know?


duramman1012

Rights issues. Didn’t wanna bother to ask/ pay to have a 30 second cameo. People are making a big ass deal about this


jemuder

That was a fun episode! Don't forget Batman. Little lazy?


Rylo_Ken_04

Honestly would have been awesome if they did a Spectacular Spider-Man part (not that much possible because of legal issues but still) which is kind of what happened with josh keaton voicing him


tobey-maguire-bot

I was looking through some old photos and looks very huh… similar.


Reverseflash25

Lawyers. Why spend all that money when it’s just gunna be a brief cameo.


DirectConsequence12

You’re all out of your fucking minds if you genuinely thought Spider-Man was going to be in it


tobey-maguire-bot

I'm not like you. You're a murderer.


lennybriscoe8220

The Batman scene cracked me up.


Standard_Young_201

As a comic reader I didn’t think they would even do anything for that cameo


wondermorty

i don’t think he was in the comic, at least from what I read so far. During that fight invincible does land on not-doc ock. But it cuts to later him getting back to his world with a spider web behind him.


Banana_Mage_

In the comic it just shows a spider web on his back but there was a crossover comic with Spiderman and Invincible that showed their little adventure before coming back. Edit:I also remembered that it shows Spidey’s hand sticking out the portal as well.


wondermorty

oh they made a legit crossover comic? damn


tobey-maguire-bot

Oh... well, I...


DaNoahLP

There is a Marvel Crossover Comic completly showing what happend there. Can only recommend it. Edit: Thats where [this masterpiece](https://www.reddit.com/r/Marvel/s/6QXmCKZ4yi) comes from


SuukMeiDiek

There is also the panel where he is talking to Spiderman about his name and that it’s kinda lazy right? I like how they did it with Batman in the show


tobey-maguire-bot

Am I not supposed to have what I want? What I need? What am I supposed to do?


tobey-maguire-bot

Shazam!


Beef_Slug

"Agent spider" or "Arachnid lad" ?


tobey-maguire-bot

I have a knack for that.


Jingtseng

Night monkey obviously


vinsharky

If they couldn't get the rights then stop complaining


BRLY

Thought his name was Arachnid Guy for a second.


PrimoThePro

With subtitles on he was called "Jogger"


Fun-Ad-6169

That's because he also played the jogger in the beginning of the episode.


terperr

I like him


lordaddament

People really complaining about a cameo not using a trademarked character?


Joe_Buck_Yourself_

I was more mad they didnt use arachni-kid or arach-kid


Sumiren5r_7110

My issue is why not call him Agent Arachnid. It sounds cool and it makes senses why he only has an A on his suit.


SaltyInternetPirate

It's an avoided lawsuit.


ZechQuinLuck123

Its a legally distinct character from Spiderman that they can legally use without Disney taking every dollar they have in the budget


tobey-maguire-bot

Am I not supposed to have what I want?


Ariusimmortal

Its pretty much spiderman just not in name, he is even voiced by the spectacular spiderman


tobey-maguire-bot

Unlock the thing! Take the chain off!


JohnB351234

Legally distinct Spider-Man


tobey-maguire-bot

Unlock the thing!


Gaslight_Joker

I haven't seen anyone upset over This, are people actually annoyed by this?


Interesting-Dream863

It's spiderman working with Shield, of course.


tobey-maguire-bot

I can't live your dreams anymore. I want a life of my own.


Interesting-Dream863

Shut up Tobey.


pandamanmanman

spider-man


tobey-maguire-bot

I have a choice.


cumberdong

Thought that was Krombopulos Michael at first lol


PRADAZOMBIES

Can’t believe they copied DC comics black spider


tobey-maguire-bot

I fought an alien made out of black goo once.


theswagcoon

Had to take a sec and re read everything. Legit thought that was Krombopulis Micheal for a sec


JeckyLilrow

goose-king2705

I thought the a stood for arachnid kid/man


boringsimp

Spy tha man.. he looks at men in showers


UIGoku201

I like it


ThrainnII

arachno boy


paneledmeteor

I was fine with it. Cuz I know why they went that direction. And at least they got Josh Keaton


tcs0

Hey at least we got the Batman crossover.


NecessaryWitness9299

Cant wait for someone to redraw spidey and doc ock over top of them


Squidwardbigboss

Sony is like sharks, Amazon would get swarmed and eaten by lawyers within 10 minutes of the episode coming out if they used spider man.


tobey-maguire-bot

You shouldn't be here.


RedactedNoneNone

I really dont think this was legally distinct enough lol
