Maybe it's my OCD, but I couldn't skip a Spider-Man movie before watching the next one. As much as I didn't like Amazing Spider-Man 1, I still went and saw Amazing Spider-Man 2 in the hopes that it would improve. In some ways it did, in other ways it did not.
As for the MCU Spider-Man movies, I thought Homecoming was pretty good, a solid 7/10. It could've been better. While I appreciate it trying to be it's own thing to stand out from the Raimi and Webb films, it went a little too far with being it's own thing to the point where it didn't feel like a Spider-Man movie, but a high-school comedy starring Iron Man's sidekick. Far From Home also tried to be it's own thing, but it was actually worse than Homecoming in my opinion, a 6/10. Still a watchable movie, and it's the only MCU Spider-Man movie were he doesn't ask an older hero for help, but it was still the weakest of the three. I did like Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio though, and I do like Tom Holland as Spider-Man, but his movies could've been better. They have more heart than the Amazing Spider-Man movies, but they're still somewhat lacking.
Spider-Man: No Way Home was the first MCU Spider-Man movie that actually felt like a Spider-Man movie. Maybe having the old cast come back helped, maybe having Spider-Man swinging into the camera at the end also helped, but I can't deny that it actually felt more than just the usual MCU flare, thus to me making it the best of the MCU Spidey films for that reason. It still had its problems, but I liked this one the most, it gets an 8/10 for being a solid movie, for feeling like a Spider-Man movie, and for doing nostalgia and fan-service right. Evidently, giving the fans what they want, in addition to a good story, is the best way to go.
Even though I don’t like Zendaya’s MJ, and I didn’t like The Amazing Spider-Man movies, that scene was powerful. Garfield totally nailed it when he reacted to saving MJ’s life, like he really needed that win.
Oh yeah, Ganke. It’s possible Strange modified the spell a little more to make Ned and MJ forget they were ever involved with Spider-Man’s adventures, making them complete strangers.
I honestly expected Ned and MJ to kiss at the end, like somehow forgetting about Pete caused them to date each other instead.
I suppose, but considering how both of their continuities ended bittersweet, it would've been nice to see for ourselves that they were doing ok. Tom Holland ended this movie in a bad spot too, but at least he's got three more movies to fix that.
It’s easy for people to make fun of Christians. They sort of used to make fun of Jews, but not anymore, and not to the same extent as Christians. But they definitely don’t have the balls to make fun of Muslims.
I miss South Park.
Then it might have been a poor choice of words. But the way you describe yourself is what leftists think right wingers are like.
Most right wingers are just normal people who are fed up with the radicalist woke agenda, that doesn’t make them alt-right.
While they might be against modern third-wave feminism that favors gender over merit and hates men, they still like strong women and support women’s rights.
If the Jews really wanted to stay friends with the Christians, they wouldn’t have made this show mocking Christianity.
Israel should denounce this show and apologize for its existence or else face the consequences, starting with Christian America pulling its support from Israel.
So are magic terrorists. But that's how it is.
Since that’s how it was in the books, I’d say they touched upon it.
Some species are viewed as lesser than others, that’s part of the mythology. Not everything is gonna be sunshine and rainbows in good fantasy stories. You have dark mages, monsters, and yes, slaves.
<blockquote>Btw, I'm an anti feminist conservative and an alt right sympathizer</blockquote>
Interesting choice of words, if not a little on the nose. No need to pretend to be right wing. It's ok if you're a Leftist, as long as you respect other people's opinions, and present valid criticisms for someone you disagree with.
Yes. The opening text mentioned the world ending in 2003, which is when Terminator 3 took place. The character Kate Brewster from T3 also returns, this time played by Bryce Dallas Howard.
Different directors have different styles, and this was supposed to feel more like a war movie, that’s why it felt different from previous movies.
Figures. Normal people can’t play trannies, but trannies can play normal people.
You're oddly fixated on this 🤨 You need to stop overthinking it.
Maybe it wasn't just a memory spell, but a reality-altering spell focused primarily on altering memories. Who knows? We'll have to watch the movie to find out. Or maybe the movie will gloss over it and you're wasting your time asking me these questions.
I never said that’s how it would be. I’m going by the trailers, which show Peter tampering with a spell that was supposed to wipe memories. One of the side-effects of the tampering is villains showing up.
There might be more to it than that, but for now, that’s what it looks like.
It’s called discussion and speculation. If I’m wrong, then I’m wrong.
Because the plot says so. Because fan-service.
And it’s likely other Spider-Men will show up too, so it’s not just villains.
Lol, another triggered snowflake moron that can’t accept a bad show is bad. A show you haven’t even seen yet feel the need to defend.
That projection cope was delicious 😆
Most, if not all shootings have nothing to do with the second amendment, but that didn’t stop the left from bringing it up anyway.
Now that it’s one of their own, they’re playing the sympathy card as much as possible. When it fails, then maybe they’ll mention the second amendment and why guns should be banned, not just on movie sets, but everywhere other than the military.
While I never bought into the mythical status, I do think his body language was more intimidating than the stunt actor in Rogue One.
Prowse moved slower and felt more imposing, the guy in Rogue One did a decent job but one scene that always stuck out to me was when he first spoke to Krennic, then when Vader walked away he moved to the side so as to not bump into Krennic. I feel like Vader would’ve nudged into him, pushing him out of the way.
My point is, as cool as the hallway fight was, Vader didn’t feel as scary in Rogue One as he did in the OT. I give Prowse credit for moving like a big lumbering warrior-giant and looking scary doing it.
Not bad, you clearly put more effort into the story than they did at least. I personally would've liked to see an adaptation of what happened in the original EU books before they were decanonized.
At roughtly the same time that the sequel trilogy happened, the books had Han and Leia's eldest son, Jacen Solo, become Darth Caedus. Instead of Rey there was Jacen's twin sister, Jaina, who was the female character that would eventually take over the role of main character as Rey did. She wasn't a Mary Sue, but she was skilled. She was good with machines because of time spent with her father, and she trained hard to be a powerful Jedi knight, and eventually Jedi master.
But before Darth Caedus, I would've liked to have seen the story arc that preceded his storyline, namely the fight against the Yuuzhan Vong, an outer-galactic alien race that was hellbent on destroying everyone. It was a major event in the books and one that non-book readers should have the privilege to see on the big screen. Changes will have to be made of course, and book readers will likely complain about it, but non-book readers will at least get to see what really happened after Return of the Jedi. Luke and Han don't abandon Leia and run away, Luke's Jedi order isn't destroyed off-screen, and we get a true passing of the torch with Jaina Solo.
