Brian Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 In awe of what I just watched. Great moments, references, humor. Everything. I know this is a spoiler thread but I’ll wait til tomorrow night to be safe, in case anyone stumbles in by accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 They really stripped Spidey down didn’t they. Literally took everyone from him. I loved this movie so much. Top 5 Marvel for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 It's hard to quantify what I just saw. Seeing all three spiderman attacking at once, the personality quirks of each character, Willem fucking Dafoe and Alfred Molina effortlessly stepping back into their characters 20 years later. What a fucking movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth05 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Dafoe stole the movie imo. He crushed the green goblin (again and moreso this time). Overall a lot of fun and can't wait to rewatch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 One problem is that Tom Holland (and his significant other) gets lost in the redemption arc for the careers of Tobey Maguire and particularly Andrew Garfield. Spoiler Does that mean we can now go back in time and cure Thanos? It felt like a bit too much fan service…but what can one realistically expect at this point? And why would the equivalent of Alex Jones consistently get their news updates in bright lights at Times Square? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 That was so fucking awesome. What a movie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Also cannot understate how well they de-aged Alfred Molina and Willem Dafoe. They didn't look noticeable at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think he’s the equivalent of Alex Jones? There’s live news on in Times Square when there’s a big story. It’s the Daily Bugle.

They even snuck in him shilling some bullshit supplement, which was really funny. But with that said….are we really complaining and poking holes in him being played in Times Square? It’s a movie with a Lizard scientist, a guy made of sand, wizards, etc…I mean come on. Give it a rest @caulfield12 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 The daily bugle was basically a NY Post tabloid magazine bent on sensationalizing spiderman , J Jonah is just doing his thing on tv now that's all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same actor obviously, but I thing the DB and J Jonah and more InfoWars style in the Tom Holland/MCU universe, so it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I agree, I just think they are playing it as the natural progression of JJJ. This is what he would be doing nowadays. i just can't stop thinking about how Garfield needs another run. He is still a great spiderman/Peter Parker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was upset that they tore that universe down just as they were setting up the sinister six. Plus any universe that had Emma Stone in it, works for me.

There is a lot to dislike about ASM2, but it's not as bad as it was perceived, it just rushed a lot of things unnecessarily. They can slip back into it with zero issues if Garfield is game for it. Personally I think the multiverse opening up right now makes a perfect excuse for Emma Stone SpiderGwen crossing paths with Garfield Spiderman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJJ definitely had runs where he was more akin to the Daily News/NY Times, but he hated masked vigilantes - he respected guys like Cap and Iron Man who were heroes out in the open. I feel like if they went with that angle, it'd have a lot more nuance than Alex Jones, MCU style. But with all this movie had to juggle, that's a lot to toss in.

Quin Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 First good look I've seen at the final suit and my god it looks ripped straight from the comics. I only hope they keep the expressive eyes / some different types of webbing (like the web bomb). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoeLessRob Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Was good, wouldn’t say AMAZING. Of course I enjoyed the return of the older characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
