All three of those clips were impressive. I love that they are dealing with his strength like that, it's fantastic. I really like the injection of humor, which is kind of an important part of any Spidey movie.

Bruce Wayne is a late bloomer. We can relate to late blooming because as an audience many of us did not have sex until our early 30s.

Why would they release 3 new clips for a summer tentpole movie in such an AWFUL format? I can't get over how lovely they look, to say nothing of the aspect ratio. As someone in marketing I'm blown away by the horrible execution.

I can't imagine that a smartphone is the best way to view any of those. Someone dropped the ball here.

Because those are all scanned off a box of Kellog's cereal, and when you are 13 and using a box of cereal to watch movie clips, you do not care about quality, you just think it's so cool.

I absolutely love the knife clip.

He's passed out on the subway and some joker/homeless man tries to balance a beer bottle on his forehead, which ends up surprising Peter who [instinctively?] leaps to the ceiling. This could be right after he's been bitten and is when he discovers his powers.

Sarcastic Spider-Man would probably be the best thing in the world for cameoes in other Marvel superhero movies, I think.

During some particularly tough fight, the bad guy hears "Say cheese!" and spins around to see Spidey on the wall, taking a picture. Then he makes some joke about what's going on and leaves.

That makes me wonder. I know Parker will take pictures of himself as Spider-Man in order to make money, but do the comics have instances where he uses his powers to actually advance his ability to perform real journalism? I'm mostly familiar with the movies, where his work as a newspaper photographer seems to be about as important to him, as a calling, as delivering pizzas.

He would often team up with reporters to take the pictures for their stories, but I can't think of a time when Pete had his own non-Spider-Man exposé or anything. He's not really big into journalism, just stopping crime.

Then again, my memory is poo poo so I could be wrong!

He did some paparazzi celebrity stalking briefly, but it was just to earn more cash. But he used his spider powers to hope fences and get all the juicy photos. Until guilt kicked in.

Ugh, why the heck did they think making Joss Whedon the director was a good idea. I mean was the bouncing cleavage shot absolutely necessary?


-Edit I think it was pretty obvious they set up the shot specifically for that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...qfncpIjJM#t=29s

It does bother me when its probably the only thing they are going to do with her. That type of scene is often used by Joss Whedon when he wants to establish one of his so-called "strong female characters".

She has boobs. Those things bounce when you move around. How is that Joss Whedon's fault?

I actually liked that clip. Kicking some rear end while in a chair is pretty rad.

Yes because they made Joss Whedon the director of The Avengers, a woman's boobs bounce.

Killer Elite has a similar action setup of Jason Statham fighting someone while tied to a chair (it's rad). Jason Statham has a dick. Without proper support, those bounce when you move around. And yet we didn't get a clear center-frame shot of that in the movie, because things like costuming and framing are active choices the director can control.

Somewhere between a third and a half of the Youtube comments are about Scarlett Johansson's breasts. Marvel knows what they're doing here.

Optimist with doubt posted:

Are two seconds of bouncing boobs really necessary for you to enjoy the film? It's hardly the worst example of sexism in the movie industry, but everything I've seen which promotes Scarlett Johansson's presence in the movie has relied on sexualizing her, and it's gross.

No, i don't need any bouncing boobs, but two seconds of it isn't going to make me go "This is appalling. gently caress Joss Whedon!"

Comparing boobs to dicks in the classic gender-reversal litmus test, while admirable and applicable in many situations, is a total false equivalency in this specific situation because boobs and dicks are located on completely different parts of the body and it is a completely valid cinematic choice to aim your camera at an actor's upper chest and head instead of their groin in an action sequence focused on their upper chest and head.

Scarlett's got big boobs and they're gonna bounce unless you literally strap them down. Is it a sexy shot? Sure. But there is nothing exploitative or demeaning or lewd about it. Shhhh, relax, it's okay.

What the gently caress are you talking about? I just watched the clip and her boobs bouncing around are incidental to the real focus of the action. If the clip were in slow motion while focused exclusively on her chest, then I might agree, but this is a stupid reaction.

Your guys comments would be valid, if every drat thing that was marketing her character didn't have some sort of fanservice shot. Did everybody forget the poster where she has a pose showing off her butt, while everyone else just had one that made them look like a badass. How they are marketing her character reminds me of this comic .
