To me, the closest Marvel came to capturing Spider-Man on film was the Toby McGuire in Spider-Man 2, organic webs notwithstanding .Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119827816698009731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080299065441712068.post-87249390468587370422022-10-09T09:36:48.788-05:002022-10-09T09:36:48.788-05:00Creepy without being gory.

I didn't realize they retrofitted Stark into things, but he's SO popular, i can't blame them. he's such a narcissistic overconfident blowhard, but he's also fun. i'm especially fond of Paul Rudd as Ant Man, because Paul Rudd <3. and omg Black Widow is amazing. Captain America is appropriately pure. Thor is just pure fun. even the new Hulk is great. i was never invented in the DC vs. Marvel thing, but Marvel certainly is having fun right now with all their characters.FrankOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316107158387079660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080299065441712068.post-62972838811946854452022-10-08T08:43:38.714-05:002022-10-08T08:43:38.714-05:00My daughter loves the latest Spider-man movies, bu...My daughter loves the latest Spider-man movies, but I'm pretty meh on them. You're right about the age accuracy, although Tom Holland is in his 20's, he does play a teenager. I don't care for the retrofitting of Tony Stark into the story. Did you know John Francis Daley, "Sam" from "Freaks and Geeks" wrote the screenplay for "Spider-man: Homecoming"?Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119827816698009731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080299065441712068.post-5575975156115604502022-10-08T01:12:44.123-05:002022-10-08T01:12:44.123-05:00wow, i had no idea about the interesting connectio...wow, i had no idea about the interesting connection between Ben Cooper and Stan Lee/Ditko. we have been working on what we call our "Marvel-cation," trying desperately to catch up on all the Marvel movies (they come out every 2 weeks, i swear!). Last night we finished Civil War, which was super fun, and of course the ... latest?... incarnation of Spider-Man was enjoyable and i think pretty correct, at least as far as his age goes. Anyway, this has nothing to do with random rubber monster hands, sorry. but i do have the same generational olfactory memory for those masks and hands. they were SO SWEATY!FrankOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316107158387079660noreply@blogger.com
