5 Reasons Why Otto IS the Superior Spider-Man

The Superior Spider-Man!

MEGA MEGA SPOILERS UP AHEAD! Proceed if you already know what happened when Amazing Spider-Man (comic) ended, or if you just don't mind spoilers.

Peter Parker's time as Spider-Man has ended. Yeahp, you heard right. Peter Parker is Spider-Man no more.

Pete was finally outsmarted by one of his oldest enemies, Otto Octavius (aka Doc Ock). In a last ditch effort to save his own life, Otto mind swapped with Peter Parker. Peter's mind dies while in Otto's body, while Otto is reborn in Pete's.

I know, I know. It's a pretty controversial move by Marvel. But as much controversy as it's garnered, Otto, arguably, IS a superior Spider-Man!

How so? Well here are 5 reasons why Otto Octavius is a better Spider-Man than Peter Parker:

Adventure Hijinks: Climbing a Mountain

Finally! After years of saying "Gusto ko din matry umakyat ng bundok.", I finally did it! My very first climb!!!

Cray cray!

I went up Mt. Maculot. I was expecting an easy hike. Kept thinking, "how hard could it be? It's just basically walking." A long walk through the woods, a few rocks here and there, and most challenging part being the uphill with a heavy bag behind my back. 

I GROSSLY underestimated things. And as we later found out, Mt. Maculot is apparently the HARDEST CLIMB* (*for beginners) in the Philippines!

Feel Like a Star at H.Bar!

Men need pampering too!!!

Bett and I spent an afternoon at H. Bar Body Lounge Spa. H.Bar offers an assortment of body scrubs and massages with various, self produced, organic scents. Thought we’d get a pampering after my painful climb of Mt. Maculot the day before, and Bett’s active weekend at Laguna.

And MAN DID WE GET PAMPERED!

Movie Icon Mayhem! @ Movie Stars Cafe

That was the most fun I've ever had in a "restaurant"! (If that's what you want to call it.)

Movie Stars Cafe (MSC) is a resto-museum with a Cosplayer attitude and some Disneyland flare.

Let me elaborate. 

We Miss You, Peter!

I usually read and review trade paper backs instead of single issues for a number of reasons - mainly because single issues usually lack a complete story and depth. But I made an exception for this one - The 200th issue of Ultimate Comics Spider-Man.

This was probably the most emotional single issue comic I’ve ever read.

Video of the Week #5

It is celebrity singing day!

For some reason, in this one week, I came across three videos featuring celebrities singing. These are off-show singing. Mostly unrehearsed. Which just makes it more fun to watch!

Opa! Greeka Kouzina!

My first official blogger event :) Woohoo!!

Bett was invited to a bloggers’ lunch at Greeka Kouzina, and then she, in turn, invited me. It was my first time being around other (seasoned) bloggers. I felt I didn’t belong. Heck, I wasn’t even really supposed to be there. The whole time, I was worried my work wouldn't even compare to what the others there could make.
