Considering the amount of super heroes here is it really the best idea to live here?

No, cuz the superheroes will DESTROY NEW YORK CITY! DESTROY! DESTROOOOOOOOY!

>>149327800 (OP)
Don't you mean considering the amount of super-VILLAINS? The heroes make the city safer, it's like arguing that more cops make a city less safe.
I'd be happy to live in a city with tons of heroes if I didn't also have to worry about the Wrecking Crew or the Rhino destroying my building.

>>149327800 (OP)
Anon for every one hero there's like 8 supervillains, you're probably better off in Jersey with Shocker and that bird thinf

>it's like arguing that more cops make a city less safe.
Area's with more cops tend to have more crime, an area with more heroes would follow the same logic with super villains.

>>149328223
Areas with more cops have more crime because they assign more cops to places with more crime you idiot. Again, the problem isn't the heroes, it's the villains.

>>149328372
>Areas with more cops have more crime because they assign more cops to places with more crime
Glad you agree with my point that a place with more heroes would have more villains, lest the heroes wouldn't be there.

>>149327800 (OP)
Even without the superheroes it's a terrible idea to live there.

>>149327800 (OP)
I would...but the moment some superpowered fuckers mess with my weed I swear I'm killing them all.

>>149327800 (OP)
Come to Florida, we only got three!

>New York
And live within miles of a disgusting Mutie school? Fuck that.

>>149328618
you have moistcritical

>>149327837
This. All the fights would wreck the city.
>>149328472
Also this.

Aren't New Yorkers supposed to be like, super tough and super street? You guys always get the pansies with the no-kill rule

>>149327800 (OP)
>Living in cities
Why do euros love to do this
Everyone else knows cities are shitholes

>>149328127
>The city if the villain wins (perfectly normal)
>The city if the hero wins (destroyed)
Movie logic for ya.

>>149327800 (OP)
Is it a good idea to live there even without super-crime?
I don't often hear great things about New York. I more often here shit that sounds like battered wife syndrome.

>>149328127
>having more people, regardless of thier level of training, carrying around on thier person mechanical devices designed for the sole purpose of launching small bits of metal at high velocity with the intent to cause damage or harm
>"safer"
Not even a moral hill im dying on here, at some point sheer numbers undermines any noble intentions you may of had to begin with. More bullets in the air does no favors to anyone

>More bullets in the air does no favors to anyone
Do you think the police have to shoot their guns in every single incident they have to deal with?

>>149327800 (OP)
nobody lives in new york, they just commute in for work

>>149328618
Batman also briefly went there to investigate a real life shooting

>>149327800 (OP)
Super pussy is hard to give up

>>149327800 (OP)
No because for some damn reason The Punisher won't kill Green Goblin and Kingpin.

>>149333122
Oh yeah, there's a genuine chance that you could hook up with She-Hulk and Kate Bishop if you're lucky

>>149333135
Would Frank even know who Goblin is? Fisk is another story since he's a public figure.

>>149328618
MCU Starlord canonically went there

>>149333074
What the fuck? Writing about a similar situation in the character's world is one thing but this shit is as hamfisted as it is ghoulish. Haven't gotten this vibe since all the 911 tribute comics. Pulse was a tragedy, yes, but framing a gay night club as the greatest expression of love in it's purest form is way out there. Clubs are for getting shitfaced, making poor decisions and letting off steam.

>>149333167
are you retarted? Even if you don't read comics asking something so stupid is stupid

>>149333167
Frank no doubt has heard of the guy that threw a teenage girl off of a bridge to her death.

While I get your concern, you need to keep in mind that New York is the place most likely to have major damage reality warped away or fall out of the timeline.

So sure, you're really likely to be killed while living there, but you're ALSO really likely to be quickly revived if you're killed. Whereas if you live in some shithole like Saskatchewan and you eat a meteor or a small black hole or a rogue god or something, you'll probably stay dead for like a few decades.

>>149332149
Every single bullet ever made is a potential tragedy waiting to happen. The fact that the "good guys" are using them too is irrelevant. The bullets dont care who or what they hit, they're just going to do exactly what they're designed to do and nothing more.

>>149334236
Okay, but why do you think the police has to fire them?

>>149333360
Doesn't seem like it would be an obvious thing that Norman is the Green Goblin anon.

>>149334253
The reason a cop pulls the trigger is also irrelevant. The second that gunpowder ignites, all bets are off. The bullet is just going to zip along/ricochet/go off 500 yards down the street into some old lady's kitchen window without a care for who's in it's way.
A bullet is a tool, yes. Like any tool, it can be used for harm, yes. But its rare to find a tool made *specifically for the purpose of harming someone* made so ubiquitous in societal norms. Like, if there were poisonous barbs sticking out of everywhere, and even then slightest nick of your skin means death, wouldn't you find yourself just a wee bit nervous going about your day?

If I was nervous about random things that could kill me I'd never leave the house. Worrying about getting shot when you live in the US is like worrying a random car will decide to pull into the sidewalk you walk on. Nothing I do can stop either thing.

>>149331547
This is the US anon, if anything the civilian population is more well armed than the cops.

>>149334597
My point isn't they *have* to fire them, it's that they have them to begin with. Im not naive to think we can have a just and peaceful world without the need for violence to enforce it. Im just saying that bullets are, in effect, very small bombs who's explosions we've managed to direct, more or less. But that means there are MILLIONS OF TINY BOMBS literally everywhere just waiting to go off. That thought alone does not give you some pause, anon?

>>149334677
>That thought alone does not give you some pause, anon?
No, why would it?
I could very likely pay for every single bullet fired by my entire country's police force since they got guns in the 60s, due to 4 of them getting killed by a single armed man.
And you know why? Because they don't have to fire them.
Obviously this wouldn't be an exactly replicable feat with US police, since Americans are fucking schizos who'll try to kill them half the time, and due to the high demand for officers, the training is a fucking joke, but the point still stands.
I'm very happy that we have a solid police force, since I'm less likely to get shot.

>>149334677

They've got good doughnuts there

the rent is EXTREMELY cheap

get with the program

>>149335906
>>149335945
The rent is only cheap because he won't FIX THIS DAMN DOOR!!!

>>149335925
That's our NYC, Marvel universe NYC has to be cheap as fuck considering the everything that happens there. Like imagine having to explain to your boss that a giant man in a rhino suit bulldozed your car the same week the police had a shootout with Fisk goons on your block.
