I remember signing up for one of those terrible Anime VHS clubs just to get the 'free' copy of Akira, way way back in the day, when that was kind of the only way to get a hold of anime here in the states. When they went to put it out on DVD I was super excited, and found that it was one of those rare occasions where…

oh, the Spider-man/Iron Man banter would have been legendary.

Yeah, Garfield's Parker wasn't great. Way too quirky and befuddled. There was a latent confidence with his performance too that the real Parker absolutely didn't have. In the comics he only had confidence while being Spider-man, especially High School Parker.

I wear glasses, and in high school it got basketballs 'accidentally' thrown at my face all the time during gym. My daughter and some of her friends wear them for fun, like it's an accessory or something. Something definitely happened where looking geeky became hip and liking sci-fi/fantasy/comics/cartoons/anime became…

I'm with you on your complaints about ASM, it had it's faults, but not any more or less than Raimi's version in my opinion. I can say from the outright that I plain don't like Raimi's directing style, so that didn't help, and although they hired actors who all looked the part, by and large they were all terrible at…

I think we'll all rue the day Avengers became successful, as studio heads get greedier and greedier and that cash cow starts to deliver the same kind of trite as the 2000's started to deliver after the first X-men and Spider-man successes. Or like the round of crap that flooded the market after the 90's success of the…

There really is a lot of good source material for Spider-man, it's not his fault Sony doesn't want to use it.

I think it's more likely that this guy is just a dick who let slip a reveal that non-comic readers probably didn't see coming. Which is why the tweet was deleted shortly after. Only comic readers would consider the Terminus story not being the cannibal story a twist, and I think the general audience of the show…

And even still, I'm sure they've done the math. 100% profit off of a franchise in declining success (and by declining I'm more projecting post-ASM 2 since it stands to make as much as the first,) or 50% of the profit on a potentially massive success.

I sometimes wonder if I'm just too old to really enjoy the new Spider-man's. I like Garfield's portrayal of Spider-man a lot, but his Peter Parker is so .. off, that I think he appeals more to a younger generation than myself. I tell ya's, back in my day, nerds weren't cool OR hip. These young whipper-snappers and…

super smart doesn't count? or super rich for that matter. I guess Hawkeye is super accurate with his aim so... wait, am I using the word super right here?

I'd agree but only to the point that they used him in that one film. Black Widow worked well in the new Capt movie, even Fury had that whole car chase scene that was pretty damn entertaining. They don't have to be super powered to be an entertaining addition to the story, is my point, they just have to actually add…

uhh... what? You don't think snarky Peter Parker and snide Tony Stark would banter their balls off? You can't picture a Hulk delivered Spidey-torpedo? Spider-man fits perfectly with the Avengers group. And even though Spider-man and Torch were friend (i think) in the comics, that's all that's going on in that team-up.…

FF and X-men is the more likely team-up to happen. If Sony doesn't want to play ball with Marvel they certainly wont play ball with Fox.

I agree the Spidey films look better. Avengers looks like a high-budget tv film. The new Captain had a nice clean polished look to it though, so maybe Avengers 2 will have a more updated style to it.

I'm with you and all, but if you're gonna be profane, just be profane. Don't force me to decode your swear words for you.

Issues outside of the movie? They rebooted it because Spider-man 3 was a total flop, Marvel was building to Avengers and making money, and Sony wanted to get back in while the gettin' was good and still maintain their license over Spider-man.

Well, and really, all of the Avengers have their own stand alone series, so it's not like they've ever been exclusively Avengers. Spider-man maybe has had more titles going at the same time than Hulk or Iron Man or Thor, plus more spin-off series and the likes, but with the way he worded it it's like saying all the…

NASA to hire SpaceX to get them to mars. Calling it.
