I'll just say it: I think the whole anti-Maguire sentiment is largely internet groupthink. Sure, it's rooted in some truth, but mostly it's just people parroting an idea they heard other people saying.

And with that controversial opinion, I'm going back to writing! (After one more episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine...)

And, uh, I'll just be the guy whose favorite Spidey movie was the first Raimi one.


For quite a while, I was right there with you. And honestly, I wouldn't put up much of an argument against it to this day.

'Tis a strange day when picking Spider-Man 2 as the best Spider-Man film is picking a hill to die on. Alas.

I'll forgive this blasphemy because Homecoming recreated ASM #33 damn near perfectly. (And because Homecoming is legitimately good.) But there's a few reasons I can't, in good conscience, call it the best Spider-Man film.

Yeah, I'd respect it more if they had just said, "This is our MJ. Suck it, nerds." I may not like it, but I'd respect it.

Looking at you, Michelle Jones.


Oh my God, Michelle. The time when the filmmaker didn't even have the guts to back his "twist" and immediately began the backpedal of, "Well, I mean, obviously she's not the MJ..."

Also, a note to all aspiring filmmakers: You're not being clever when you introduce an "original character" with a vanilla ass name like John Blake or Dave TotallyNotKhan (or whatever the fuck his name was). We see through it literally 100% of the time. Gaslighting your audience when they figured out your flimsy twist isn't impressive.

Blankman is one of the greatest superhero movies ever made and I won't have anyone tell me differently.

Now, if you'd have said Steel...

Oh, I appreciate Batman & Robin for the cheesefest that it is and hold no ill-will against it.

Never mention The Dark Knight Rises in my presence, though. I will enter a fugue state of rage that frankly embarasses me.

Fucking goddamn Robin John Blake bullshit "orphan eyes" subplot...


Boy, this would be a bad time to admit that John Blake was one of the few things I unironically enjoyed in that film. I mean, sure, the explanation for how he figured out Batman's identity was whack, but I liked the idea that he figured it out; the idea that a young kid in Gotham -- and a young orphan at that -- would see through the thin disguise that always worked against "smarter" adults. And I liked the character of a young, idealistic cop who didn't know the whole truth about Gordon and thus couldn't understand the crusade against Batman.

I will grant that the "Robin" thing was horrendous fan service. Nor did the ending make any kind of sense, anyway. Bruce Wayne traveled the world and trained under fucking ninjas; Blake was just a cop. How the hell are those skills supposed to translate to being the next Batman?

(Otherwise, I'm totally with you that TDKR is a massive disappointment.)

Cindy will never, ever exist in this universe as long as I’m controlling the Spiderverse.

Miles may or may not, but he certainly will not be a love interest like Marvel wants to make him to Gwen for whatever reason


... Is this a bad time to mention that Cindy was on my Spider-Man CS as a fellow nerd with a crush on Peter, a la Spider-Man: Homecoming? (Though she'd never become Silk because c'mon.)

Okay, I've said it before, but this time the next installment really is close. I came down with a crippling case of hate-my-post-itis, but after taking a scalpel to the abscess, it's nearly in a place where I can live with it.

So yes, *gasp* Otto Octavius is a bad guy. I'm going with mustache-twirling evil Otto, mostly because that's the kind of Otto I like best.
