I think due to his age we wouldn't have gotten Iron Man Jr. very much. Do you have any tasty Andy theories on how it would've gone down?

@Inkarnate

So, assuming they'd take the Ragnarok approach and throw out the style to make Spider-Gar fit into the MCU style:

-Spidey gets pretty much the same role in Civil War, with the exception that he's in college rather than high school. Pete's got his own suit, so he's not as dependent on Tony, but maybe they skip straight to the Iron-Spider stuff to solidify that.
-By the time he's in his own movie, he's "gotten over" Gwen the same way that everyone in the MCU seems to brush off their romantic interests leaving them. At best, she gets an off-handed mention when he's talking to Aunt May, or maybe when he's having a flirty scene with totally-not-Mary-Jane-wink-wink.
-Harry Osborn, now cured of his Goblin-ness, is working as sort of a reverse Nick Fury in the background to gather the Sinister Six, so he gets the post-credits sting recruiting this film's villain (let's go ahead and keep Vulture because he was great).
-Assuming Sony plays ball with Marvel and doesn't shoot themselves in the foot like they're doing now, Eddie Brock is introduced as the Bugle reporter Pete works with. No symbiote stuff until at least after Infinity War.

How do you feel they would've handled involving Garfield-Spidey into the MCU had he been asked to stay on (or I should say didn't piss off the Sony Executive at that one party)? How would it have differently influenced Civil War, Infinity War, and so forth?

@Inkarnate

TBH, I don't see how it would have fit into the MCU without them pulling a Ragnarok and just throwing all of the previously established stuff into the bin. The Amazing movies leaned a lot more heavily on drama and relationship stuff, which doesn't really gel with the MCU's more jokey "hey, this stuff is cool, but only dorks and try-hards would take it seriously" mentality. If they did keep that version of Spider-Man, though, I would have liked to have seen him be less Iron Man Jr. and more a bridge between the Avengers and the Defenders, have Daredevil and company show up instead of Tony Stark swooping in pretending to be his new dad.

I liked the Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Terrible, awful, good-for-nothing film, sure. But I had fun watching it and Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield have a ton of chemistry together, in my opinion. Electro was a campy villain with a fuckin' lit as hell soundtrack and visually pleasing powers. Goblin and Rhino were hilarious, even if the former wasn't meant to be, and Harry's character was dramatically compelling up until he turned into an evil troll doll.

EDIT: Hans Zimmerman can do no wrong.

@Superboy

While they were far from perfect and very clearly suffered from executive meddling, I really liked the Amazing movies. Like you said, Garfield and Stone played off each other really well, a lot of the action was fantastic, and that ASM2 suit was far and away the best Spider-Man costume put to film so far. There was a lot that really should have been cut out (all that conspiracy stuff about Pete's dad and all the sequel-baiting), but underneath the bloat and the tacked-on final battle, there's some really great character work to be found between the three leads.

Nothin' to see here. I certainly don't have any unpopular opinions or hot takes when it comes to superhero movies. No sireee......

Hey, that is nothing compared to what you deserve for that Black Panther post from a few days ago.

@Master Bruce

My only regret is that I didn't apply for T'Challa in this game and draw that out over the entire season.

I think I say this to him on an almost weekly basis.

That feels like nowhere near enough.

Are we heading towards Batman V. Superman?

@Lord Wraith

I can neither confirm nor deny.

I can, however, advise everyone who still laughs at blurting out "Martha" to go grab their blunt instrument of choice to continue beating that dead horse.
