UmOk posted:Lol. Like people under 30 use Facebook. They totally do. The era of there being one be-all, end-all social network is over- your average kid has at least a Facebook, a Twitter and a Snapchat, and chances are they also use Instagram, Kik, Reddit, Whisper, and any number of also-rans and fad apps. e: this isn't to say that any one of these in particular is their primary social network, or that the balance of time spent on each is necessarily equal, but y'know.

The only time I recall getting bullied was in the sixth grade when I went to a new school. There was a big not-so-smart guy in my math class who saw it happen. I offered to do his math homework for a few days if he'd get them off my back. I dunno what he did but it worked out pretty well all around.

I didn't catch any nods to Birdman, but I did catch a pretty sweet nod to Batman, actually. When Vulture first grabs Spidey and tosses him in the water, he flies up into the moon in almost the exact same framing as the scene from Batman 89 where the Bat-Wing does the same thing. If they didn't mean that as a nod, I'd be super surprised.

Peter went to a magnet school so the student body is made up of far fewer meatheads. Flash wasn't supposed to be the stereotypical physical bully. Just a big jerk.

I figure they moved away from Flash being a stereo typical "jock" bully because Peter could just take punches from him all day and not care. It's also too easy for Peter to turn the tables on a physical bully by being quick. Peter doesn't have any powers to prevent a jerk from talking poo poo all day and if Flash never throws a first punch then no matter how angry Flash makes Peter, he can't hit Flash or he becomes the bully - and you know Flash would play up being attacked and say he's terrified of Peter, even if he isn't. A cowardly rear end in a top hat bully just seem a lot more culturally relevant and interesting here than a dumb jock bully would be.

Instead of just facing Peter head on, he could get rough with his friend/sidekick, because he probably knows how close friends they are. That would enrage Peter, because I'm sure he looks out for people close to him, and encourage him to sock Flash in the face and wind up in trouble. Actually making Flash a minor threat in the story. I only just posted that and already thought up some character development the writers didn't think of. Why isn't Sony consulting me for MCU ideas?

For some reason I'm pretty sure Vulture was a former Air Force pilot, though I don't think there's anything to support that. It would make sense if he built his suit based on the Falcon wing pack, and may have piloted one at some point?

Well apparently it took him 8 years to master the whole Vulture thing, so even if he wasn't an Air Force pilot, he had to practice his supervillain niche to fly like a pro. Although when he started doing this, it was during the first Avengers movie (I think) and Homecoming takes place just after Civil War, so really it should've been '5 years later'.

The style of helmet and the green, nighttime displays. The bomber jacket as well, although those have always been popular with non-pilots, especially older white dads!

I saw a pretty neat fan theory that perhaps the reason Toomes is so good at using his wonderful wing suit is that he may have belonged to the same unit as Falcon. It wouldn't be too out there to have that kind of link, considering the school's principal is a descendant from one of Captain America's other wartime buddies!

I don't think you understand. In Star Wars everyone is someones uncle or long lost cousin. Everyone knows the same shady dealers. Or dumb loving fan theories that Rey is Obi Wans daughter or something. See: Fans are loving dumb.

This movie is as perfect a synthesis of my fav things regarding Marvel and Bendis era Spider-man, from the sure handling of the plot and script, to the real deal consequences of this batshit comic world being taken seriously, to character motivations that ring both true and incredibly fascinating. This might be my fav Marvel movie right now, and its so good that I'm flashing back to reading Ultimate Spider-man when I was like 11 years old. It's...nostalgiac?

Also wanted to say how awesome it was to watch this movie in Queens and see streets and trains you use everyday reflected in celluloid. Like that street and raised subway (Astoria Blvd) is a couple of blocks away from my house. There's plenty of filming in NYC, but usually it's only establishing shots and the like for a soundstage in LA, and this is best movie I've seen in a while that really reflects what life is like living here. It felt like the neighborhood, + a suited up hero flipping around over it. e: Lobok posted:And not that one movie's take on a character excuses another movie's, but people were arguing way back about the Raimi movies that MJ wasn't the MJ they knew. There was the acting element but fans considered her a mash-up of Gwen and MJ. There wasn't any of that party girl, go-go dancer, boogie-my-blues-away personality. Dunst's MJ was not a You Just Hit the Jackpot kind of woman. It does fit Bendis' portrayal of MJ, like her character and the glasses girl next to faux Felicia Hardy in the opening shot of the movie would be a perfect combination, regarding personality/looks. edit 2: I meant MJ in this movie, not the one in the Raimi movies, sorry.
