    Opinion: On Plagiarism

    My intuition is that the ?plaguirism is the single worst crime a professional weiter can commit? passage is the most ironic and therefore the most logical place to lift from elsewhere, but I have been unable to find this exact quote in any source besides this article.

    Marvel's Not-So-Awful Animation of the 80s

    Am I imagining things or didn't all of Spidey's crime-fighting stuff come from millionaire Tony Stark, who he had saved at some point?
