It's dumb pandering, but sure whatever pal.

 

[SpaceWolf]

I am in this boat. I don't think there was any Sony talks back that far.

Of course there bloody wasn't.

I don't think anyone seriously believes this was some crazy calculated intentional foreshadowing on the film-makers part. It's just a cute fan retcon Feige and Holland might want to make canon, like Rex from Clone Wars/Rebels being in Return of the Jedi.

 

[BronsonLee]

I thought Peter Parker is supposed to be a genius? That kid was dumb as rocks.

HE'S LIKE SEVEN

 

[Sephzilla]

HE'S LIKE SEVEN

Yeah will Tony probably built a toaster that could cure cancer by that age

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

Eh.

EDIT: Oh damn, that glove.

Are you saying Peter was already bitten because the glove is red?

 

[MadLaughter]

Retcon, but a fun one. I like stuff like this.

 

[Itchy//Tasty]

But was the driver in the lorry who stopped Fury's car from being rammed in TWS really the Punisher?

 

[SpaceWolf]

Yeah will Tony probably built a toaster that could cure cancer by that age

Going by Iron Man 2, Tony at that age was just trying to play with Howard Stark's models whilst Howard yelled at him.

 

[Reptars Revenge]

Nah it was Andys Dad

 

[Rootbeer]

Now someone needs to cut together some young tom holland footage to go with that clip and we're full circle. There's a ton of footage from his Billy Elliot days, or The Impossible

 

[Sojgat]

Still retroactively trying to make Iron Man 2 less terrible.

 

[HiiiLife]

My first time hearing this theory but love seeing the 2+ year old comments on YouTube about him being Peter Parker. lol cool.

 

[thecouncil]

haha. thats very dumb.

 

[autumnleaf]

Amusing retcon, doesn't hurt anything so why not I suppose.

 

[Raxus]

I thought Peter Parker is supposed to be a genius? That kid was dumb as rocks.

He was around 8-10 it looks like.

 

[strafer]

just like they retconned that thing in Tokyo Drift by having Jason Statham drive the car.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Of course there bloody wasn't.

Wait WHAT

 

[DOWN]

Uh, guys, is it really a retcon when they never named the kid?

It's absolutely a retcon if there was no solid expectation that Spider-Man would ever be in the MCU and they weren't actually trying to make that a Peter Parker moment when making the movie back in the day

 

[Oersted]

Still retroactively trying to make Iron Man 2 less terrible.

Scarlett Johansson's stunt double doing wirefu wrestling moves was kinda hype.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Is kojima in charge of mcu now?

 

[Silkworm]

So does this mean that the little kid that stood up to Rhino in the Amazing Spider Man 2 is a future super hero too?

 

[FaustsBoon]

Yeah will Tony probably built a toaster that could cure cancer by that age

He doesn't WANT to cure cancer.... he wants to turn people into dinosaurs! But your point stands.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Wait WHAT

Yup, was confirmed. Fun little nod. IIRC there's a mock-up of Rex with that gear on too.

 

[Sephzilla]

[IdreamofHIME]

That kid was actually Eddie Brock.

 

[Htown]

Retcons aren't inherently bad

Correct.

Hell, the Winter Soldier himself is a pretty huge retcon, for example.

 

[Alienous]

What a fanboy.

I'm surprised his room isn't covered in Iron Man posters.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

He grew up looking up to Tony, & the Stark Expo does go down in Queens, so it makes sense.

That it does, but I want to know about the people who 'speculated' this. Are they seriously thinking a movie made ? yrs ago stupid?

 

[SpaceWolf]

Correct.

Hell, the Winter Soldier himself is a pretty huge retcon, for example.

How so?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

More like it was some random kid but to make everyone happy they have just decided to say it was Peter Parker lol

Yeah, Marvel likes to jerk off it's fans a lot.

 

[Sephzilla]

How so?

The Winter Soldier is a retcon to Bucky dying in WW2

(I await Slayven coming in to tell me I'm wrong)

 

[SpaceWolf]

The Winter Soldier is a retcon to Bucky dying in WW2

(I await Slayven coming in to tell me I'm wrong)

Did Bucky die in a way in the comics that was unambiguous, or did it play out in a similar way to the films where they left enough room for him to come back?

 

[Sojgat]

Scarlett Johansson's stunt double doing wirefu wrestling moves was kinda hype.

All the action in the movie is quite good. That and Sam Rockwell are it's only real strong points.

 

[jon bones]

they signed him for 9 films, the first was TFA

IM & War Machine vs drones was super dope

 

[Sephzilla]

I'm talking the comics

 

[Alienous]

That kid in Iron Man 3 is actually Obadiah Stane's son from an affair.

Prove me wrong.

 

[Staccat0]

People who poo-poo this must think these movies are based on true stories. It's all fiction. the author's original intent is meaningless. TV shows must drive you insane.

 

[Zero-ELEC]

At first I was like "but that kid was really little there's no way he could grow up already to Peter's age". Then I remembered Iron Man 2 came out 7 years ago already.

Also honestly this isn't a huge deal or anything like that. It's just a retcon that turns some extra into Parker

The actress that played the kid is ~18 years old.

 

[Wheeljack539]

I love this.

It's canon now.

Heh, the wiki entry's already been updated.

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

Joffrey Baratheon is Robin

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

The actress that played the kid is ~18 years old.

Imagine being that guy and realizing you sort of played Spiderman in a movie.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Yup, was confirmed. Fun little nod. IIRC there's a mock-up of Rex with that gear on too.

Yeah, from this year's SW Celebration:

 

[godofcookery]

just to add some more fun to this, there was a woman yelling Peter in the chaos a few scenes before that.

 

[ShemhazaiX]

Time for Sony to sue them for using a licensed character without permission.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

just to add some more fun to this, there was a woman yelling Peter in the chaos a few scenes before that.

And it was Marissa Tomei, uncredited.

 

[godofcookery]

!!

 

[J_Viper]

I think it'd be better for everyone if we all forgot Iron Man 2 existed

 

[RangerX]

Did Bucky die in a way in the comics that was unambiguous, or did it play out in a similar way to the films where they left enough room for him to come back?

Bucky died in the comics around forty years before the winter soldier storyline so yeah, it was pretty unambiguous.

 

[Cuburt]

they better have included that iron man mask somewhere in his closet in Homecoming.

I need to see it.

Iron Man 2 redeemed.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Eh.

EDIT: Oh damn, that glove.

Wouldn't make any sense that he was already Spider Man at such a young age.

People who poo-poo this must think these movies are based on true stories. It's all fiction. the author's original intent is meaningless. TV shows must drive you insane.

Eh, if someone finds joy in this then by all means. To me its a pointless ret-con that means nothing.
