How It Should Have Ended

[seriousfic]

Spider-Man: Say, as long as I'm here, mind doing me a favor?

Obama: Anything for a potential voter, ha ha!

Spider-Man: Well, your appointee for head of SHIELD?

Obama: Norman Osborn? What about him?

Spider-Man: He kinda dropped my girlfriend off a bridge.

Obama: Oh. Is she...?

Spider-Man: Dead? Pretty much. So if you could shuffle him around to another position... goodwill ambassador to France or something...

Obama: Well, uh... I'll look into it.

Spider-Man: Because I have video of him flying around, killing people. Laughing while he says "I'm Norman Osborn and I love to kill innocent people!" It's been on CNN. Rachel Maddow has reported on it.

Obama: I will... definitely take that under advisement.

Spider-Man: Because one of your campaign promises was "no supervillains in my cabinet".

Obama: Well, err, that was really more of a Cheney joke that an actual... Look! A dance sequence!

Spider-Man: What, where?

Obama: *ZZZIP!*

You know, I'm really interested to see how Marvel fits the new administration into its virulent anti-government / anti-authority pose.

I predict they're suddenly do a 180 and say that the SHRA was the grandest work of government since the New Deal... if they haven't already.

Either that or it was just an example of the corruption, evil, and general suckiness of the prior administration, and that as soon as Obama takes office all of a sudden Iron Man won't be a dick, all the supervillains will go from working for the government to being locked up between panels, and Captain America will spring back to life with a mighty cry of "OBAMA HAS HEALED ME!".

Basically, admitting they were holding good comics hostage until a Democrat was elected President.

(Well, BND will still be there. Because Quesada can't get it up during sex if Spidey's not single... single and free to swing into his dreams. *si~gh*)

You know, I'd be willing to put with a lot in order to have Iron Man no longer be a dick.

Don't Millar and Quesada already claim that the SHRA was perfectly reasonable, and that MCW was a fair examination of all sides of the issue?

I'm pretty sure Millar and Quesada are Infernal words meaning "liar" and "huge gigantic fucking liar I tell you you wouldn't even believe".
