the more i think about mcu spider-man the more i don’t like mcu spider-man

like mcu twink peter will never have the depth of our friendly neighborhood spider-man. literally any time they try and make spider-man super cool with access to a ton of sick tech and everything i start to really lose interest. the appeal of spider-man to me is that he’s like just some guy who happens to have super powers. like you could just hang out with this dude. the “bigger” they make him the more he loses that.

actually i’m gonna elaborate on this further because spider-verse did this but they did it well and with purpose.

the peter from miles’ dimension was super over the top, kinda larger than life. as pointed out by peter b. several times. however unlike other times they’ve done this it wasn’t just to try and make spider-man look cool, it was all a part of miles’ narrative. miles was given huge shoes to fill and they used this as a tool to portray how small miles felt compared to peter.

but the difference between miles and mcu peter is that miles didn’t need any of that to become the spider-man he is today. one of his main role models in the film is peter b. who’s broke and off his game, but still manages to do amazing things.

that’s the appeal of spider-man. is that anyone can make a difference, no matter where you’re at in your life you can still be incredible.

Good comment via the person I reblogged from.

I think it’s interesting that the scene from the end of The Amazing Spider-Man with the eggs is being put forward as the pinnacle of Spider-Man cinema – and I agree, for the record – because I don’t think people know how hard that scene got dragged when Homecoming was released. I’m fairly sure one of Homecoming’s six screenwriters said something negative about it, although I can’t currently find the article where I saw it, but if you check out this review of Spider-Man Homecoming you’ll see something along the same lines: “No one wants to watch May chide Peter for forgetting the eggs when there’s way more interesting superhero stuff to get to.”

Right, except I do, because the eggs in The Amazing Spider-Man were always there to remind the audience that Peter’s great responsibility exists outside of his identity as Spider-Man as well as within it – he has a responsibility to his aunt! Even over something as simple as bringing home the eggs he’d previously forgotten to get! It’s meaningful because it shows us that responsibility is a multi-layered, multifaceted aspect of both Peter Parker and Spider-Man and something that is baked into the character, not just the costume. That he shows up beaten to hell, having played a large part in keeping New York from becoming lizard people, with his girlfriend’s father’s blood probably still on him, and that he pulls the world’s most busted package of like 100% broken eggs out of his backpack because he promised his aunt he would pick up eggs and that she embraces him is so important! And it got mercilessly dragged as not being exciting or cool enough! Not being enough of a superhero scene! TASM’s Aunt May of the absolutely incredible “You’re my boy and I won’t hurt you” scene got called dowdy and not fun and pathetic because she was “just waiting at home for the eggs”! And it drove me absolutely crazy! Justice for Peter treating May like she’s his mom and the most important person in the world to him and knowing he has a responsibility to her! Justice for the little humanizing elements that make Spider-Man ultimately a relatable story! Justice for the eggs scene!

One of the larger than life things that MCU Spider-Man badly remade is Peter’s identity getting revealed.

This was one of the best scenes in the movie’s franchise history:

Peter passes out after stopping the train and saving everyone in it, and gets carried by the passengers inside.

The juxtaposition of the superhero being saved by the people he almost died to help and repaying his kindness with a promise that his secret is safe. That’s the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man the MCU could never conceive.

Reminds me of my coworker who, whenever she sees a Tesla at a gas station or something, she’ll look over and go “Wow! The new Toyotas look really cool!”

The drivers LOSE THEIR MINDS.

There was a quote in the original Sharks Are Smooth As Hell thread (which I can’t find, at least not with this comment, attributed to raptorific): Apparently for dudes who’ve got a compulsive need to be the smartest person in the room, “someone who’s wrong in a really stupid way who has unshakable confidence that they’re smarter than you” is their kryptonite. You can play dumb on almost any subject and their ego, their staunch belief that the masses are so far below them, will blind them to the fact that you’re just fucking with them, and as long as you don’t admit you’re fucking with them or acknowledge that there’s anything Off about what you’re saying, they won’t be able to stop themselves trying to get you to Respect Their Authority, and they won’t be able to see that will literally never happen.

alex delany getting cancelled and exposed for saying "faggots" making predatory misogynistic comments AND making a confederate flag cake that he posted on tumblr, a day after bon appetit' resident brownface enthusiast, adam rapaport, "resigned" is just so much more enraging when u realize that all he does is drink alcohol and eat out and gets paid thousands per video.

And all this is happening while Sohla is doing all the heavy lifting for every segment, tempering chocolate for claire who is apparently a baking expert (and who also gets $20k per video), getting tokenized in every video and making actual gourmet dishes as shes an expert in food and food sciences.

delany was a mens fashion blogger before his bon appetit gig while sohla has a decade and a half of professional kitchen experience--not to mention that she owned and operated a restaurant before coming to BA.

in video titles, both are referred to as 'Professional Chefs'. Only one of them is and she's also the one NOT getting financially compensated for it.

burn it to the ground.

I remember talking to an American friend around the start of the previous invasion of Iraq. She scoffed at the prediction that 100.000 lives might be lost to the war as anti-american propaganda. She also completely believed the american propaganda that the Iraqi population actually *wanted* this invasion, and that American troops would be greeted as liberators, and the people would rise up to overthrow the regime and the war would be done in, like, two weeks. She was wrong on every count, needless to say.

I wish could believe people learned from history.

Key point? At no point were we the victim. this is an orchestrated fucking incident to be goddamn sure but no this is trying to drum up support and sympathy and I will bet my ass that Cockhead in Chief did not know this man's name before saying yes. And he doesn't have the fucking goddamned awareness to realize you do not claim a war of defense when you sTART WITH AN ATTACK YOU FUCKING SHITEHEAD OF AN EXCUSE OF A MAN.

Reblogging again to remind people that the people of Iran are human and maybe we shouldn’t go to war with them. Just a suggestion.

You can really tell who’s never experienced poverty and food insecurity when it comes to discussions around food costs and how unhealthy food is cheaper. Some fucker always comes in with the price of like… lettuce or… apples. And it’s like yeah bitch but can you work an 11 hour shift after eating some salad and an apple!?! Find me something cheaper, and more filling than the broke ass staples of boxed mac and cheese, hot dogs, noodles, bread, beans, and rice. I’ll wait.

It also ignores the mental toll that poverty takes like maybe your home made veggie filled recipe isn’t crazy expensive but it also involves prep time and cooking time and organization in terms of fresh food that a lotta poor people can’t manage.

Not to mention if you can only afford to get to the store once every couple weeks via bus or cab then you can’t keep fresh veg on deck.

But ya know.. poor people are just dumb and lazy.

Public Transportation Should be Free to the Public.

justsomeantifas

If it is paid for by the public, then the public should not be forced to pay for it twice.

Free public transportation opens up the world to the poor. It absolutely stimulates the economy in that poor people then have the ability to travel without worrying about whether or not they can afford it, however we should not base our policies in the richest nation on earth on whether or not it stimulates the economy.

The United States of America has more than enough money to provide free and safe public transportation to all who seek to use it, they do not provide it because they’re in cahoots with oil and auto industries.

Forcing people to pay for what already belongs to the public is a form of government welfare given to the rich capitalists at the public’s expense.

You are paying for billionaires to continue hoarding billions when you pay for, and support paying for, public transportation.

justsomeantifas

Furthermore public transportation is incomplete if we don’t strive to make it accessible to all, this includes the disabled, the elderly, children, etc.

once in my sixth hour we were talking about 9/11 and i announced very loudly “more people died in hurricane maria than in 9/11 but nobody really cares because you can’t use hurricanes to justify imperialism” and then not even 5 seconds later i said “yeehaw my beets.”
