Look 'bad luck' up in the dictionary. Go on. We'll wait. See there? That picture of an awkward college student tripping over his own feet? That's Peter Parker. He's majoring in chemical engineering, and by some stroke of (you guessed it) bad luck, t...

Johnny Storm was a daredevil by nature. He had tried almost every extreme sport known to man, and suffered at least ten near-death experiences before ever being called 'The Human Torch'. Unlike Peter, Johnny had been popular his entire life. So, as one could imagine, gaining superpowers that didn't involve being transformed into a hideous rock monster only inflated his already unbalanced ego.
Whenever Peter swung by the Baxter Building at this time of day, Johnny was more often than not just sitting around wasting time whilst Reed Richards worked away in the lab on some incredible scientific research. Peter, as much as he would drool over being able to watch the Reed Richards in his element, would always be reeled in by Johnny and his unwavering social ability.
"Yeah. I dunno about that." Peter declared as he munched on a huge mouthful of Doritos, eyes pinned on the TV.
Johnny, who was sitting on the couch with him, threw his arms up in defeat, groaned harshly "Dude, it's a movie. Give them some slack."
"Classic textbook response. That just means that I'm right and you don't have anything else to say."
"No, it means that I don't care about your stupid science and how that makes 'Aliens' a bad movie."
Peter, who was still dressed in his Spidey outfit without the mask, pointed at the screen and said "Hey, I am not saying Aliens is a bad movie. A bad movie is 'Conan The Barbarian'."
"What? Conan? Arnie Conan?"
"Yeah." Peter replied, throwing a chip into his mouth.
"Oh shut up. That movie's freaking great."
"I had no idea what was going on at least eighty-six percent of the time."
"Eighty-six? Why eighty-six?" Johnny pressed in confusion.
"Because James Earl Jones randomly transforming into a snake man was just too damn cool, so I removed four percent from the 'not knowing what the hell was happening' rate."
"You're crazy, man. Then what's a good movie?"
"Ninja Turtles. The nineties one."
"Bro."
"You didn't like that?" The wall-crawler mused in disbelief.
"It was fine but Jesus, Pete. That's a kid's movie."
"I dunno, Shredder gets thrown into a garbage truck and Casey Jones flicks the switch incredibly nonchalantly, like he wasn't brutally murdering somebody."
"Messed up shit can still happen in kid's movies. Just look at 'Hunchback of Notre Dame'. That priest dude wanted to screw that chick so he was like 'hey girl, either you screw me or I'll burn you at the stake, bro'. That's pretty damn crazy."
"Yeah I guess you're right. What was that guy's name? Frodo? Froyo?"
