Just an Idea: MCU's Spider-Man 6

"Spider-Man Final Suit" Concept Art. Taken from Concept Art Association.

I'm reaching the end with my latest "Spider-Man mania". Finished rewatching The Animated Series more than a month ago by going through its fifth season in a couple of days. Since I've already watched the vast majority of Spidey's films a few months back and don't have any plans to rewatch Spectacular Spider-Man at the moment, that was mostly it. Now, it's time for me to wrap up my silly collection of ideas for Peter Parker's second trilogy in Marvel Cinematic Universe with another nonsensical wall of text.

This "article" is more likely to be smaller in comparison to my Distant & Troubled Neighborhood posts. While these concepts of mine are definitely not as thought-out as they could've (and, perhaps, should've) been, the final part in this trilogy will be more vague for a variety of reason. I was pretty busy the last couple of months and didn't spend a lot of time to think about this story, even though I knew it would be the hardest. You know, I think I should just get down to business.

May 2023 Update

I had a feeling that things are about to get rough, but I had no idea just how bad it was going to get this time. Part of me probably got used to this to life being like waves where it always goes up & down. Despite my willingness to admit that my current state of affairs isn't normal (and hasn't been normal in a while, if ever), I still won't go as far as to say that I'm suffering or anything like that. I mean, it's true. I am a total mess right now. However, there're people out there who totally have it way worse than me.

Still, I'm just "screaming" into the void here. No need to beat myself up over talking about how I got emotionally annihilated this time around. Although just writing about it might be a challenge on itself, but I'll get to it. Despite all odds, I'm still here and I kind of pushed forward. Tried to distract myself from this misery with relative success. Similarly to previous Update, I'll start from the worst part.

Plants vs. Zombies on The Lawn

When I pick a title for these Hall Tales "articles", my choice is pretty random. I might just start thinking about specific game for whatever reason and then decide to unload my mind by redirecting it towards writing. This is a great way to do this type of thing, but something was bothering me. I think there might be more examples, but I'll mention my Dungeon Siege & Ken's Labyrinth's posts specifically: just as I was writing them, I discovered that I "barely" missed out on their anniversary.

I know that this might be a weird thing to be bothered with, but I can't help myself. So I wanted to "make up" for it by releasing something just at the right moment. Which resulted in this perfect opportunity to talk about original Plants vs. Zombies that was released on May 5th, 2009. 14 years ago! Even though it's technically a PC game first and foremost since it was first released for Windows & Mac, I think many people out there (myself included) are often viewing it as mobile title. The idea of talking about games for various platforms is appealing to me, so I'm rolling with it.
