Here's the thing about quips that SM2 apologists never seem to get. Raimi made a great film that will always be a favorite of mine but over the course of 3 movies, you very rarely got a sense of how much Peter enjoys being Spider-man. A few whoos while web slinging and one or two jokes don't really cut it. He kinda-sorta tried to show the fun of being Spider-man in SM3 but made the mistake of turning Peter into a complete asshole in the process. Quips aren't a necessity, and Raimi did just fine without them, but it's understandable why fans of the character would want Spider-man to act like Spider-man.
we gonna act like plenty of people don't treat them as a necessity and then in the process prop up the Amazing Spider-Man films, the poster children for soulless corporate garbage, because they have more jokes? it's putting what's "faithful" to the source material above all else and i think it's fucking bonkers
