    Why do people have a problem with them giving Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire a shout out?

    @BlackArmor: Imagine a new Batman sidekick named Michael Kilmer or Val Keaton. It's jarring.

    Good point. It may be just be that I think about the Batman movies more than the Spider-Man ones but Alpha's name jumped out at me much less than the ones mentioned. It may just be me but this doesn't seem all that Jarring

    it sounds pretentious. It is also likely that we think it sounds easy to suspect that the guy going to fall making the next one will be called Beta, or he gets a power up which make him have the name omega. I know there has to be someone placing bets at what going to happen to him. Does anyone have checklist ready so we can predict at what is going to happen to him in organized chart?
