Seriously though, why is this so bad?

    Aunt May finds the Green Goblin without his mask, nurses him back to health, and falls in love with him.

    The goblin reciprocates this love by slamming his glider into her at top speed and then hurling bombs at her. She dies horribly off screen.

    The whole scene sounds improvised and like something out of an adult swim comedy. What the fuck?

    Obviously the dialogue is bad, but the bigger problem is the boring directing IMO. These three need to be doing something while they talk, not just standing there with Toby looking like he's partially CGI'd.

      Right? Why the fuck are they just standing there? Feels like a star wars prequel written by Kevin Smith.

          Lucas honestly had more interest during the prequels on set design and worldbuilding than cinematography or writing.

          The end result is this really uneven set of movies that feels pretty "lived in" up until the train you're on derails and the aliens based on racial caricatures show up to assess the damage.

    This is authentic to the spirit of most Spider-Man comics, in that it's mostly bad

    You know how sometimes you'll see, like, "fake scripts" made for conversations between characters in various books, shows, movies or whatever? And it's always this horrible, cringey nonsense that no writer would ever dare share with anyone? I finally understand where they come from. This is my first time watching a scene from a marvel movie. Holy goddamn shit that writing style is actually real. What a revelation.

    they really need miles morales in there. dude bro spiderman x3 just ain't working. if they were smart they'd cut this whole shit out.

    if they intentionally released a bogus scene with the three of them just goofing off or something as some kind of guerilla advertisement, it should still be better than this.

      Don't worry, they set that up for the next movie. Electro (played by Jamie Foxx) rips off Garfield's mask and is like "why aren't you black, I thought you were black"

      And Garfield is like,"I'm sure there's a universe with a black spiderman".

      Then the lizard licks his face.

      This is the first time three versions of the same character have stood around in a circle and talked about how their ability to shoot thick ropes has been affected by performance anxiety.

        Spiderman should have to Jack off to shoot webs and if he doesn't cum in time while web slinging he falls to his death.

        That honestly hits why this feels weird. It is three distinct, and I would say quite good in their own ways, depictions of spider-man all suddenly given the same voice and it is the worst voice of the MCU stuff

          I think you just nailed it. They all talk the same… That’s really uncanny. Half the jokes Tobey makes in this scene would not have happened in his films.

      I literally have never watched a Marvel cinematic universe movie. I think I saw that one leaked Wolverine movie that no one really remembers because it had a shitty deadpool in it because my little brother wanted to watch it, I saw the first two spiderman movies but only bits and pieces of the third, and that's it. All of this is fresh to me and I just enjoyed Spiderman talking to himself about cumming.

      The green goblin and aunt may fall in love. He then runs her over with his glider and blows her up with pumpkin bombs. You hear her die horribly offscreen.

      Shortly after, Tobay McCain comforts Tommy Hillfigure by telling him that "with great power comes great responsibility".

      Tommy then tries to murder the green goblin.

    Sat there stoned faced during this super quippy and adorkable exchange. Bonus points for Tobey Maguire though, at least those spider-man movies were fun because they had an actual film maker behind them, the two other clowns I have no clue or care who they are.

    Also venom / Tom Hardy is in the movie at the end and he gets drunk and wants to go skinny dipping. This is not a joke.

      Apparently this was implied in a post credit scene in the newest venom movie. My ex was excited about this. She's gotten real tolerant of capeshit in the interceding years I guess.

        Oh yeah he teleports back to his movie world after running up a bar tab and gleeking some of the symbiote onto the floor.

        Again, I'm serious. That is in the movie.

            Andrew Garfield confesses he is in love with the other two spidermen. There is a long pause and it is never addressed again.

                    Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is the only one I would particularly recommend going back for. It's not great, but it's as good as these Marvel movies get.

                          Was and wasn't. Hit her fucking hard but was cathartic and stuff. It's a really special movie for her now.

                              She left home and lived on the streets for a while and reconnected when she was in her late 20s and had a kid of her own and then he died a few years later. So, yeah, there's a LOT for her emotionally in that one. It's a pretty fantastic movie anyway. I could give a shit about the rest of Marvel but the Guardians movies are great. First wasn't as good but still good. It's as close to OT Star Wars as they've gotten with all these desperate attempts.

              There’s about a one minute scene with no subtitles where two characters have an argument in Tagalog while everyone else watches.

              One of the characters then turns to the rest of the group and says “she’s going to bed, but she wants you to clean up all these spiderwebs you shot in the kitchen.”

    why isn't Kingo there too? when Kingo isn't onscreen, other characters should be asking "where's Kingo?"
