Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

Pizza Poppa always gets paid!

 

Don't forget pre-fame Octavia Spencer!

 

So far as Spider-man movies and my opinion, they’re all sensational… (except Spider-Man 3).

They’re not as good as Spider-Man (94) or The Spectacular Spider-Man (08).

 

Let's talk about the real deal!

 

^I'd have loved a Nicholas Hammond cameo in No Way Home

 

Or even the Spider-verse movies

 

Some of the dialogue in Spider-Man 2 is just cringe worthy

“oh boy yeah”

“oh boy yeah what?”

something about that felt unnatural

 

The thing about Maguire's Peter Parker is that a lot of his dialogue and behavior is supposed to be cringeworthy and awkward. Like his "bad boy" phase in SM3 is so silly because it's an intrinsically goofy and innocent person's idea of what being a bad boy is.

 

“It’s a web…..go spidey go!”

the dialogue might work on paper but the execution was off

 

The dialogue and the performances aren't supposed to be realistic. It's not that kind of movie.

I remain on the side that Spiderman 2 is one of the best comic book movies ever.

I remember seeing that opening weekend, I stayed in Ottawa for the summer and friends from home made the 7ish hour drive to spend the Canada Day long weekend with me in Ottawa, and we went to see it.

The train fight was incredible, although I'll never understand how Doc Ock takes one punch from Spidey without going down.

 

Maybe the AI arms made him keep fighting.

But, the whole train sequence is still one of my favorites.

 

Or have Scott Leva show up in Secret Wars. Now that would be cool.

 

Same here. Hammond's performance as Parker shares my top spot for best Peter Parker actors, with Maguire.

Oh, without question, and its the far and away best Spider-Man movie to date.

 

Despite having now seen all the movies I’m still new to the Spider-Man universe. I looked up all the shows and decided to go with TAS because I’m a sucker for 90’s cartoons and Christopher Barnes was the voice of Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid. Also going to do the Spider-Verse stuff from Ultimate Spider-Man.

 

I'm not a fan of the Raimi films at all. 2 isn't bad. That's the nicest thing I can say about them. Otherwise, a complete train wreck from acting to direction to writing.

 

As far as live-action goes, the first two Raimi films take the top spot for me personally, with the Toei Supaidaman coming in second, and everything else somewhere far below that. That's not to say they were bad movies, far from it, but they weren't for me.

 

90s cartoon is still top for me.

Then Rami's second one.

Then Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Then No Way Home.

 

I wouldn't say that, SM2 has too much poorly done stuff like how Ock's solution to stopping a mini star is to...drop it in the river?

 

I haven't watched them in ages, so I don't know how I'd feel now, but I used to absolutely love the Raimi Spidey movies. Them and the FoX-Men movies were my first superhero movies, and them and Smallville are a big part of why I love superheroes and comics now.
But I think I'd probably put the MCU Spidey and Spider-Verse movies above them. Tom Holland's take on the Peter feels a lot more believable as a modern day take on teenage version of him. I read the first handful of issues of the original comics, and I can see a lot of inspiration of that era of the comics in the new movies.

 

It's really interesting to see that opinions about the movies are so diverse--with every era having its supporters and detractors. Although it is a little funny that despite that, people still state that movie X or version Y are objectively awful.
