Some might say after 2.

@Inkarnate

And some people might be wrong.

I think I clocked in like two or three hundred hours into Bafflefield 3 when I was a younggen. I didn’t have money to buy more than one video game, so I just sat on BF3 on my shitty internet connection.

I literally had to drag my modem into my bedroom so that I could get it to at least run.

I reacted to someone who reacted and then you and others reacted to me....funny how that works?

Anyway I don't see any actual refutation on my point apart from 'oh noes drama' so I aint got nothing to say on the matter until I hear a counter point, carry on.

@Dynamo Frokane

I'm honestly eighty percent sure you're trolling at this point, but I'll bite.

One guy saying he doesn't want to RP with you does not mean there's some site-wide conspiracy to keep the poor, victimized arena posters down. You are not being oppressed because one dude said he doesn't like your attitude and the attitude of the community you're a major part of. Saying you're being discriminated against because one guy doesn't like you has to be the funniest fucking thing I've read all week.

You definitely stoked the fires of this whole mess because you wanted to bait out drama. So here I am, feeding into the drama.

Stop with the victim complex.

I like Michelle Jones. Don't @ me.

@Inkarnate

Fifteen year old me would've been head over heels. I still think she's wonderful.

EDIT: BUT NOT IN A WEIRD WAY.

I honestly did not mind and don't find any of what's being brought up about Homecoming to be annoying.

The idea behind it may not be without merit, but there are still plenty of athletic, attractive assholes in high school. There comes a point where reimagining a character crosses a line to "This is a totally different idea, but we need a recognizable name, so shoehorn it in." That's all my original point was. And I get what you're saying that you can't throw the baby out with the bathwater; but if you're finding yourself stretching the adaptations so far that you are rewriting the supporting cast wholesale... shouldn't you ask yourself if you really want to be doing an adaptation at all?

@Eddie Brock

I'm pretty well in agreement with you on this one. Homecoming went too far in the 'make it different from the previous movies' direction, to the point where they missed the mark on a lot of potentially great stuff. There's no need for them to shy away from the origin so hard that they don't dare utter the phrase that makes Spider-Man...Spider-Man.

I was miffed by the fact that Liz was only ever namedropped as MJ at the very end of the film- it was totally unnecessary to make that a 'reveal!' Just call her MJ! AH.

Yeah, I’m not gonna deny that. But there’s ways to do a more relatable Flash without turning him into something he’s not. The thing that never made sense to me about the guy is why, after seeing all the shit he’s put Peter through, and then watching Peter grieve for his uncle who got murdered, he insists on still being an asshole. That’s why I have to give points to Webb’s Flash – after Ben died, he showed remorse. That’s how you can update Flash, I think – show him as remorseful, realising that he treated Peter badly, and trying to make up for it in his own bullheaded way (all while Peter is, understandably, reluctant and abrasive). Bullies aren’t just bullies, y’know?

@GreenGrenade

I'd actually completely forgotten that happened, but yeah. Totally agree with you there. One of the better points of the first Amazing Spider-Man was how well they handled inter-character relationships. Peter and Gwen's relationship felt a great deal more genuine than how Raimi handled MJ and Peter, if I'm remembering everything correctly.

CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

I dunno, I don’t think they’re dated if they work. Spider-Man (Peter, specifically) has probably the best supporting cast in comics, and I think the MCU kinda fudged themselves by trying to shove them aside and give us new, much lesser alternatives.

@GreenGrenade

A good deal about what made Spider-Man such a hit was how relatable he was. Stan Lee said he created Peter Parker because he wanted a character for his young reader-base to identify with.

Obviously, Spidey is such a well written character with such a colorful supporting cast and rogues gallery that relatability isn't necessary to make his movies engaging and interesting. But him being a teenager is the core appeal. And modern day teenagers (most of them) don't live in a world with Raimi or even Webb's versions of Flash Thompson. They're caricatures of the often violent and insane bullies we saw in older films in the eighties and early nineties. It's hard to pull that off and expect a modern, young audience to be pulled in like your older viewers would be.

I'm not saying the reboot was necessarily successful- but the idea behind it isn't wholly without merit.
