I mean, I thought they were fun.

[(Anonymous)]

I just wanted them to stick with Garfield so he wouldn't be in high school forever. He's more interesting as an adult.

[(Anonymous)]

right???

I've said it before and I'll say it again PLEASE someone make Spiderman content where he's a high school science teacher like he was in the 2000s comics run. Ideally a TV show

[(Anonymous)]

I'd watch it!

I'd like to see an adult Peter, but I really don't like Garfield's version of him. Garfield's Peter was less science nerd and more modern punk rebellious teenager. It just didn't work for me at all and is the main reason I don't like his movies.

I think it kind of suits his humour from the later comics to be a bit angry and sarcastic. I think Tobey was more classic comics pure, nerdy Peter. It's a valid preference.

MTE! I remember reading threads calling him the 'Edward Cullen' of Spiderman, which is basically the opposite of who Peter Parker is as far as I'm concerned...

i don't hate mcu spidey, even though i'm not a huge fan because he's basically miles dipped in white-boy paint, but i'd much rather have an adult peter trying to juggle his superheroism with the rest of his life.

i think it's one of the reasons i liked into the spiderverse so much, aside from giving miles a great origin movie, we also got an adult peter and it was great.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes!

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed with all of this. Adult Peter would have been much more interesting, and at least a new take rather than redoing the high school version for the third time.

[(Anonymous)]

This. I saw the MCU spidey movies, and they’re cute, but like you said. It’s miles dipped in white boy paint and I’m so over high school Peter and just want them to have him be established and during his best years as a high school teacher. It would also be a really fresh take compared to all the other superhero movies out there with Peter’s mundane adult life to contrast in addition to already being a veteran hero.

i'd much rather have an adult peter trying to juggle his superheroism with the rest of his life.

I feel the opposite way. Peter's youth is one of my favorite things about the character. That said, I'd probably be tired of it by now if I'd actually believed for a second that Tobey!Peter and Andrew!Peter were teenagers. I just found it so deeply unconvincing for both of them. They felt like twenty-somethings through and through, to me. Tom!Peter finally felt like an actual teenager, and I was so fucking delighted by that.

OTOH, I feel like the MCU is trying to milk that way too much. They should've let Peter mature more (in terms of character development) between Homecoming and FFH, and they definitely shouldn't have made him repeat junior year just so they can fit in another movie while he's still in high school (which I assume is why they had him repeat eleventh grade).

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. And Garfield’s Peter is still my favorite Peter Parker, even though I agree the second movie wasn’t great.

I liked the first one.

[(Anonymous)]

And critics and audiences seemed to generally like it fine. But honestly, they should have started that run with Peter at least in college, if not after, if they were going to go with Garfield. Though he played a teenager okay, it was a little ridiculous for them to have a 29-year-old Garfield in high school, especially just after playing a college student in The Social Network.

I didn't watch the second one because I didn't think I would like it, just like I didn't watch the third in the previous run.

Given the nature of the rights' deal, with them having to churn out something new within a set time, not just when someone has a good idea, it's almost inevitable that some Spider-Man movies are going to suck.

But no, I don't think there was a conspiracy of any sort. Though I wouldn't be entirely surprised if Andrew Garfield had wanted Spider-Man to be bi, he seemed sort of tired of the whole promotional machine (and maybe wasn't that excited over The Amazing Spider-Man 2) and there was the big to-do over not showing for an announcement and Sony people did seem pissed about that.

Re: I liked the first one.

[(Anonymous)]

I really liked the first one, but I completely agree that they should have started with him in college.

Re: I liked the first one.

[(Anonymous)]

i think the first one was fine, and actually kinda fun in places even if it did feel like it was rushed out a bit to keep the license. but the second was just... bad. too many villains, trying to make me care about a peter+harry friendship that we only got introduced to in THAT movie, and a plot that was honestly just all over the place.

[(Anonymous)]

Personally, I enjoyed the first one. I have never seen the sequel, though I heard negative things about it.

[(Anonymous)]

I'll agree that I don't think bi!Peter was the reason. It might have been a factor if they thought Garfield was going to get loud about it, but it wasn't the only factor.

Disagree that they sucked, though. Garfield has been my favourite cinematic Spider-man. To each their own, though.
