Mara 29 Posted December 10, 2016 Spider-man swings into the Marvel universe for the first time in his own film! I have to say, Tobey will always be my Spider-Man, but... this one looks pretty darn good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted December 10, 2016 I just watched this, actually, and it does look pretty good. I was never that keen on the Tobey Maguire Spider-man, to be honest. I liked Andrew Garfield's portrayal in The Amazing Spiderman, but the sequel was a bit of a letdown. I think Marvel can handle this one though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted December 13, 2016 Oh, I liked the Sam Raimi/Tobey Maguire ones better. The Andrew Garfield one just had a weird plot with his dad and having experimented on his kid or whatever. Conspiracies and whatnot. Either way, we're finally getting a Peter Parker who is in high school and LOOKS like a high schooler haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted December 13, 2016 Yeah, I know what you mean. People initially complained that Tom Holland looks too young, but I'm guessing the past few big screen incarnations of Spidey have made people forget that he was always supposed to be on the younger side.

Mara 29 Posted December 15, 2016 Yup. And he will be in high school for the entire film! No "aging up", haha. So I think he will finally be true to his comic origins. Plus, gotta love the Star Wars references! First in Civil War with ESB/AT-AT takedown, and then in the trailer with the Lego Death Star. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted August 21, 2019 Well, just resurrecting this thread. After an amazing Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home (and it's cliffhangers), it seems Spidey is swinging his way out of the MCU as Disney and Sony failed to reach an agreement on continuing the deal they had. Way to go, studio guys. *slow clap* https://io9.gizmodo.com/spider-man-showdown-sony-releases-an-official-statemen-1837438904 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted August 22, 2019 Yeah I saw that yesterday. Disney wants more monies (like they need it?); Sony isn't having it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
