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.

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.

[purpl3wren]

It almost feels like the MCU is thematically saying “Peter got lucky became super human and better then everyone else so now he gets to have access to all the other super humans and the best the world has to offer.” And well to me it reads as similar thematically to “normal man get rich” kinda thing but the real appeal of Spider-Man is that despite the fact that he now has different abilities to everyone else, he still is just some random guy who’s trying to do the right thing and help people.

“With great power, comes great responsibility” wasn’t just about his responsibilities as a hero, it was also about his responsibilities as a kid to his Aunt and the rest of this life. Because despite everything, he’s still just Peter Parker.

My whole life, I have been reduced to my bodily functions.

It happened when I was five, and I was told that superheros were ‘for boys’, so that I didn’t play with action figures anymore.

It happened when I was twelve, the only girl on my tackle football team, and the coaches told me to quit because it was a ‘man’s sport’.

It happened when my breasts first started to grow, and suddenly my body was something to be seen as dirty, or improper.

I refuse to be defined by my body any longer. I am not a menstruator, I am not a person with a uterus, I am not a person with the ability to lactate, I am not a non-man-

I am a woman, and it is not a dirty word

Funniest shit to me every time is dudes being like “WAIT, YOU… DON’T LIKE CAPITALISM…?” to bands like Rage Against The Machine or Napalm Death, like, what the hell did you think their songs were about? Your mom after she grounds you for 3 days without TV? You dumb fuck.

Just saw a TikTok where this bi woman was like,

‘I’m a woman-leaning bisexual and you know what pisses me off? The fact that I’m dating a skinny white man and I love him and I’m happy, like what the fuck.’

And I just have to say. What pisses me off as a bisexual woman is that TikTok.

This is the Woke version of ‘my wife is the ol’ ball and chain, doesn’t it suck to be married,’ jokes. It’s not funny. Your queerness is not negated or tarnished by opposite-gender attraction, dating men isn’t inherently worse than dating women.

Love your partner.

Cherish them.

For fucks sake.

But somehow it’s always mommy’s fault for not loving him, or the wife for not satisfying him, or the pretty girl for rejecting him. Why are we always the scapegoat for sick men to blame their bullshit on?!

One thing I’m going to make a habit of if I ever have kids is asking “do you want the fast answer or the full answer? »

Because as a child one of the most frustrating things was asking a question and

1) the adult brushed me off with the quickest answer possible because they either didn’t think I would understand the complete answer or because they were busy

Or

2) the adult immediately began to explain in-depth to me, or using a book or computer to show me something that I didn’t care about that much and just wanted a brief answer to

[sandersstudies]

Sometimes kids will ask “what are clouds made of?” And you can say “water” and they will be like “okay.”

And other times they will be like “but why don’t they look like water? How do they get up there? Why do they float?” Etc. Etc.

[salamencerobot]

Yeah! This also applies to adults, tbh. Sometimes I don't want a big explanation, just answer the question!

[sandersstudies]

I’ve definitely done this at work lol.
