Uh, the ASM2 game largely has nothing to do with the movie besides being released near it. Spider-Man 2 has most of the same story beats as the film. It's not a good comparison. Are you just arguing for the sake of it?

Jesus christ, the voice acting here is pretty terrible.
That's understandable. He probably heard Rhino and thought "Hey, I get to play *that* guy? AWESOME!".

Honestly, he looks like he had fun. Show up on set, act like a clown, collect a paycheck, and until it collapsed, they probably had him tapped for Sinister Six.
I do wonder if Sony regrets not moving forward with Sinister Six after seeing how successful Suicide Squad was, financially. And with Drew Goddard helming it, it could've turned out OK.

Looks fun!
Anybody going to be in New York City from the 26th to... August? Sony Square at Madison Square Park is going to have a Spider-Man Homecoming exhibit, with props from the film on display including the suit. Whether it's the first suit or the one Stark provided for Civil War and this movie, I have no idea. Tom Holland's also in the city for the week, hoping he drops by. >_>

Except ASM should be called APP, for a Spider-Man movie this one had an awful lack of Spider-Man scenes.

I thought they were still doing a Sinister Six film? All they need to do is introduce two more villains for Homecoming 2 then have the Sinister Six star Doc Oct, toss in a sixth that doesn't need much explaining or back story like the Rhino, add Spider-Man as the antagonist and vualla.
I feel like the hot takes between arguably one of the most well received comic book films and a highly anticipated film nobody has seen is all over the goddam spectrum.

And no both of the ASM films suck. 2 more than 1, but they're both awful. I hate Garfield in the role.

I never noticed him grinning like a total lunatic just prior, heh.
And the bag and clothes defying the rules of gravity
The PS4 game is looking pretty good.

Paul Giamatti has:
Been in a FMV video game along with Christopher Walken where he was a weirdo autospy guy
Been in a major Hollywood film where he gropes a dead girl's tit and is really into milk stuff for some reason
Been John Adams
He does whatever and he's one of the greats so step back
Edit: Wow I forgot that Tobey actually did the VO for the Spidey games

That's what I want in a Spider-Man film is a day in the life battle between a villain and that's it, move on, no backstory or explanation of the character. The Rhino battle with Giamatti was so close.
He will always be Pig Vomit to me

Yeah the Raimi movies defend themselves just fine, they don't need defending.

Superhero flicks are basically the Westerns of the modern era, yet haven't had even remotely the same level of ubiquity and have only been seriously in-vogue for barely half as long as those films.
I don't want fun. I want STEAKS!
"oh no. I'm late to doctor connors class. If I hurry I can make it in time."
"if I keep flipping these pizzas, mr aziz is gonna flip out"
His flat delivery of every line is part of the reason weird charm Spider-Man 2 has lmao.

Still can't get over how good this suit looks. It's so Romita Sr. that I feel all giddy.

"Largely nothing." Lol. It's a Spider-Man movie game. It's a perfect comparison. They're all pretty much like that. But *shrug*

remind me, is there an actual practical use to the blinking eyes?
I would think that Iron Man put them there to like zoom in, but possibly he wants to give it more like-like properties so he isn't as scary to people.

In Civil War, Peter mentioned his homemade goggles help him focus his spider-sense.
it was explained in civil war that he needs to wear goggles because he finds it hard to focus his vision, hence the suit having eye slits that can get bigger or smaller. in the end it's just a way to explain how the mask can have expressive eyes.
Were the goggles just normal goggles or did they have a similar set-up where they served as white lens which adjusted in size like with the Stark Suit?

The film looks good so far. I'm glad they decided to skip the origin story this time. No matter how you feel about the Raimi films, they'll never do better than the one shown in the original.

This iteration of Peter has trouble focusing his general senses since they're all so much more sensitive post-radioactive spider bite. He wore dark goggles in his homemade pre-Civil War suit to help filter extra input out, so Tony's made him lenses that do that on the fly.
It's all just a really clever excuse to give him emotive eyes like in the comics, though. Which is dope.

We dont really see the homemade suit much in Civil war, but the hot toys figure for homemade suit have the adjustable lenses.

They were just regular goggles.

Hell, that's not even right. They were just regular black goggles in Civil War. This is his homemade suit in Homecoming, where he probably got the idea for adaptive lenses from the CW suit.
No one needs to defend SM2. It will always be known as one of the greats.

Once he gets his suit taken off him, Peter probably makes some minor adjustments to his old school suit before going off to fight some bad guys in the third act.

That could be the case. I'm just not comfortable with Stark being responsible for basically everything except the web shooters.
Same, mate. I actually really liked that apparently Spidey at least got to invent his own eyes first, but I guess not.
Stark even invented this Spiderman's catchphrase for him, for crying out loud!

Here comes the Spider-Boy( Stark Industries, 2017)
Is that what people are talking about in here?? Spider-Man 2 has a lot of problems and had a very particular cheesy tone at times but it's easily one of the best superhero movies purely because of how much it focused on Peter and his life.
This one just looks ok but eh maybe it'll surprise. "With great power comes great fun"... ehhh...

Stark invented:
- the spider signal
- different web configurations
- the catchphrase
- the iconic suit
The man is a menace!

It's a fine movie. Not a great Spidey film, but a fine movie.
I resent that Tony seems to be responsible for a good chunk of Peter's gadgets, but I won't mind so long as the movie ends with Peter realizing he's more than capable of running shit himself. Something similar to his renouncing of the Iron Spider suit in the Civil War comic.
