>>93831391See, I understand that, really -- but couldn't they make it both serviceable AND respectful? Did we really need faux Mary Jane? I get having to differentiate yourself from what's already established before, but the reason people wanted Spider-Man with the MCU is so we could have a faithful Spidey with the heroes we know. Instead, we get a film that's trying way too hard, reeks of Marvel's current problems, obnoxious misrepresentations of characters, and so on...
Christ, when a show like Spectacular Spider-Man has more heart then what is essentially a kid's movie, you know something's up. Homecoming was a sham, and I feel like a lot of people are afraid to admit it. Does no one else think that everyone seems just a little TOO forgiving this time? I swear, I never believed in shills, but with how many people that type like this were reddit, praising this movie as "the best one yet!", I get worried.
And you know what sucks? No one is gonna take this post seriously. No one. People are just going to call me paranoid, or say that I'm over-thinking it, or that I am a DC shill...
No one wanted to make a great Spider-Man movie; money was, is, and always has been the greatest concern when it comes to those with Spider-Man in their hands. They're given a goose that shits out gold, but if they really, really cared, we'd have an egg made of diamond. Does anyone get me? That these movies have no passion, but would make total bank if they did? I mean, you can't go wrong, what's there to lose if you make what's guaranteed to be good cash to be "gooder"?
The closest thing we'll EVER have to a film being respectfl to the tone and nature of a character and representing them beautifully in a modern sense is Spider-Man and it's Sequel. Hell, the third one didn't even bother me that much. It was bad, but if released now, it could have been much more accepted, I believe.
Okay. I'm going on too long. You all probably think I'm autistic. Oy.
