>>94758115>>94758050Whatever you want to call this, this was not fucking Flash Thompson.
I'm not even too bothered by the fact that he's not a stereotypical school bully.
Let's compare, shall we?
Let's see what defines Flash in the original comics
>Hates Peter>Good guy deep down>Dumb Jock>Number 1 Spider-Man fanSo let's compare that to MCU Flash now
>Hates PeterCheck.
>Good guy deep downNope. He was a selfish coward who literally pulled Liz out of the way to save himself in the elevator
>Dumb JockThis guy is a Smart math nerd, and is smaller than Peter.
>Number 1 Spider-Man fanFlash didn't really care about Spider-Man in this film at all. Spider-Man saves his friends lives and the only thing he wants to know from Spider-Man is if Peter's lying or not
I don't need for Flash to beat Peter up, he really didn't do it in the original comics all that much other than a couple times he got physical. But why not still let him be a sports star? Wouldn't him being strong in addition to smart just help empathize that he thinks he's better than Peter?
