Alternatively: Dear Kevin Feige Spoiler PLEASE DO ADAPT ONE MORE DAY IN SOME CAPACITY. THE NERD RAGE WOULD BE HILARIOUS EVEN IF, OR ESPECIALLY IF, YOU ACTUALLY MADE IT WORK.
Watched it on Tuesday and I liked more than homecoming, my favorite scenes are the peter tingle scene and illusion scene. Also glad to see more action and web swinging and Spoiler I think Beck is still alive Also Spoiler If Peter needs a lawyer in the future ... Also the director Jon Watts wants Kraven for SM3. SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME Director Says He Would Choose Kraven The Hunter As The Villain In The Next Movie
Spoiler And if Matt Murdock wasn't available, they could use this character and if by chance another sendoff to the Hulk.
He may be out of luck. Sony wants him for a kraven movie. Sony’s Kraven Movie May Include Spider-Man, Will Adapt Last Hunt Story
Seen Far From Home yesterday. It’s a solid Spider-Man movie. I like Homecoming more myself. Spoiler Mysterio was used really well and his origin for this movie was great. I just want to see a Spider-Man movie set in the MCU without Ironman being a huge deal. It makes sense with the aftermath of Endgame. So far the MCU Spider-Man movies have heavily relied on Spider-Man being in Ironman’s shadow. Spider-Man 3 is going to be interesting. Basically John Wick 3 with Spider-Man.
Yep, I know they are both smart asses when they don the mask, but I felt that Toby Spider-man said comic book style super hero jokes, while Tom Spider-Man was more MCU type I am self aware quips. Don't know if anyone else thought there was a difference besides me. I'm probably just crazy.
Tobey only quipped like 5 times throughout his entire run though. Right now my main concern is that Spider-Man's next entry is more Civil War than The Dark Knight Rises/X3/Apocalypse/Iron Man 3/Spider-Man 3.
Ultimately he’s entitled to his opinion. But, having watched many of his videos including ones I agreed with, I can leave him. While I disagree, I can respect that unfortunately MCU Spidey hasn’t pleased everyone. But, this guy’s “Look everybody, I’m an artist!!” spiel and his childlike reliance on swearing every video in order to convey passion makes it hard to swallow his message. I get disappointment and frustration, I’ve been there, but to say a fictional movie broke him and broke his heart is absurd in its OTT-ness. There’re many on these boards who share his opinion but express it much better.
Spoiler If they go with her, I kind of want them to not make a big deal of her being She-Hulk. Act like it's perfectly normal to have a buff green woman as your defense attorney, cause it wouldn't be too unusual given the world they live in. They can yada-yada her origin thanks to the time skip in Endgame. Just an offhand comment about a blood transfusion from her cousin in the last few years.
Or, Spoiler her origin gets covered before hand in the rumored Hulk Disney+ show, where she’s been rumored to appear.
That's such a surface level thing about the character that of course people would focus on that. Andrew Garfield had the best quips and TASM 2 had the best suit, does that make them the best Spider-Man movies? No. They just really nailed some very surface level elements of the character. Tobey isn't as jokey as comic book Spider-Man, but he's smart, and good hearted, and tries his best when it feels like the whole world is conspiring against him. Him being a superhero makes having a normal life harder, and him having a normal life makes being a superhero harder. Which is kind of the entire thing Lee and Ditko were going for. That's the dramatic core of every (good) Spider-Man story. Tom Holland's Spider-Man is consistently dipping out on school trips and plans with girls to go be Spider-Man, which is a very Spider-Man thing to do, but he's literally never disciplined by the school and the girls don't get mad at him. He just has to wait longer in the movie to do what he was already going to do. The lesson he learns in both films is essentially "Oh I was secretly awesome, I shouldn't have let other people doubt me and/or have doubted myself." Like the first one has him get his suit taken away because he's not ready, and then do the thing they said he couldn't, proving that he was ready, but then has him turn down what he wanted the whole time. He says it's because he somehow learned he's not ready but those are just words that come out of his face, the events of the movie have shown us that he was right the whole time and everyone else was wrong. That's, generously, a very thin arc. This movie has him doubt that Tony Stark really believed in him, or whatever, which comes out of nowhere and really has nothing to do with anything else in the movie, but then he learns what we as an audience have been told over and over again already, that, no, Tony really did believe in him. Which again is so flimsy and really not even the point of anything that happens so this one doesn't even really have a narrative or story in the traditional sense so much as it has a series of things that happen on screen until they stop. Mary Jane stayed angry at Tobey, he was falling off in school, he couldn't hold down a job that didn't involve slandering his own name because of the weird hours he had to keep. And every movie taught him something new. Up until Spider-Man 3 where I guess he learned not to let alien parasites make you hit your girlfriend. Which I guess is a good lesson, it's just limited in it's real world applications. And I'm not saying the new movies are bad or people shouldn't like them, I think they're really fun, but don't put down the Sam Raimi/Toby Maguire films to build these ones up, because those are, dare I say, objectively better in terms of classical dramatic storytelling (which to be clear has nothing to do with preference)
I just see the MCU Spider-Man as being just another different dimension in the overall spiderverse where despite sharing the iconic elements that make up a spider person they do a lot of things different that sets them apart from the rest.
I believe that’s it. The MCU Spider-Man movies lack a certain level of drama. But their not bad by any means. And I’ll keep saying it, Spider-Man PS4 blows all live-action Spider-Man movies out of the water. Into the Spiderverse does the same thing, but it’s much different in nature then the rest. Remove those two and the rest are all up for debate.
I never said it made them the best movies, I'm just saying that Tobey's Spider-Man lacked the quippage, especially after the first film. Also, I don't think Garfield's Spidey suit was really all that great. The spider emblem on the chest was too big for my liking. I prefer the smaller emblem since the Romita Sr design is my favorite Spidey costume. Holland has had the best quips and the best suit, and it just happens that his movies have also had the best writing, villains, and action scenes in my book. When I watch his movies, I feel like I am watching the Stan Lee comics in movie form. That's not saying the first two Raimi movies aren't good, and the first Amazing Spider-Man was pretty solid overall, but they are far from my definitive interpretation of Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Yes, but that's a 50 hour adventure compared to two 2 hour movies. I can't compare Spider-Verse because it's Miles Morales, not Peter Parker.
You can't really compare a video game and a movie because they're different things. But, Insomniac's Spider-Man is my favourite video game and my favourite version of the character and his mythos.
