Never My Fault: Difference between revisions

(→‎Comicbooks: -> Comic Books)
Line 35:
* ''[[Spider-Man]]''
** [[Hero with Bad Publicity|This is the norm in pretty much any adaptation in the entire franchise. Poor Spidey gets blamed by villains and civilians alike for pretty much every sucky thing that happens to them, regardless of whether or not its their own fault or it's a villain's doing in which it's completely beyond Spider-Man's control.]]
** One of the best known examples is Eddie Brock, who blames Spider-Man for destroying his journalistic career in both the 616 and [[Spider-Man (film)|Maguire/Raimi movie]] continuities, when in both cases all Peter did was expose Brock's lack of due diligence (616) or ethics (film). In 616, Brock said he knew who a serial killer was, only for Spider to bring in the real crook while Eddie's guy turned out to be a serial confessor whose story he did not sufficiently investigate. In the films, Peter busts himBrock for selling photoshopped pictures to the Daily Bugle, a fundamental violation of journalism.
** Peter Parker's boss J. Jonah Jameson is guilty of this from time to time as well. His irresponsible journalism often puts people's lives at risk, but he always blames Spider-Man for causing the problems.
*** Subverted in ''Amazing Spider-Man'' <nowiki>#654</nowiki> {{spoiler|where Alistair Smythe kills Jameson's wife, Marla (who took the hit that was meant for him). He even says that he's not going to blame Spider-Man, instead saying that "[[It's All My Fault]]."}}
