@@pockysucks At least that line actually makes sense when you look at the entire sentence in context. It's "People die when they are killed, that's how it's supposed to be." The line was said by a character who was killed and brought back to life. He's in shock that such a thing is possible and is trying to figure out why he wasn't dead. The line in Spider-man Lotus just sounds like a first draft that never got revised

In terms of depicting how Spider-Man deals with death, Marvel's Spider-Man PS4 has always hit home for me. I may be biased, since it came to me shortly after the passing of a loved one, but Peter's line, "Do what you think is right, even if it hurts like hell," followed by his final interaction, "I don't know what to do." "Yes, you do", with Aunt May before having to let her die has always been one of my favorite depictions of Peter's character. He knows what's right, and will put himself through hell and back to do it.

I think what was wanted was more of a TASM 2 taking a bit more extreme than the more usual way Peter deals with it. I wouldn't even say how TASM2 does it is rather standard Peter it's really not it's trying to be different which is why I always liked TASM more than Raimi Spiderman, usual comic Spiderman ect.

The problem with hardcore Spider-Man fans is that their love for watching Spider-Man struggles has devolved into a fetishization of his pain in stories. Therefore, they think that if a story primarily focuses on his pain and sacrifices is the peak of his character. It’s not. What’s so compelling about the character is that despite his pain, he still stays dedicated, kind and good.

Most Spider-man stories are set in-between Spider-Man's painful life events. The problem with movies is that they have to compress decades of loss into 2 hour movies. Spider-Man is usually a pretty upbeat guy with occasional trauma, but he's not Batman. Even as an adult he is still a fairly positive guy.

Two things one: somebody please send this comment to Nick Lowe and Zeb Wells. Keep in mind I am the guy who started a petition on Change.0rg (I had to replace the o with a 0 because KZfaq doesn't allow external links) to undo One More Day. And two: There is a good reason every single version of the story where Peter stops being Spider-Man, has him back to being Spider-Man, it is because of what you just described, that despite his pain, he still stays dedicated, kind, and good. If he was a character that was solely focused on his pain he wouldn't become Spider-Man again (in any version of the story) because there is only so much pain that one person can endure. I bring this up because while the filmmakers of Spider-Man Locus may like Spider-Man 2 that certainly doesn't mean they understand it at all.

In my opinion, being comic accurate should be about taking the original spirit and aesthetic of your chosen era of comics and then using them to tell an original story. Too many fans think that comic accuracy should be about ripping whole stories out of the comics and then just doing a panel-for-panel remake.

@trustindean51646 ай бұрын
A few notes on the depiction of Spider-Man here just like from a writing perspective 1. Spider-Man is def the type of character who when faced with grief internalizes it and blames himself, not someone who lashes out at everyone around him. He takes responsibility even when its not his fault, thats the whole idea 2. When it comes to the kid he would, without question, try to be normal and quippy and stuff but without putting his heart in it and when it gets too much to take, like the kid asks too many things or brings up too many bad memories, he would either excuse himself or just bounce when he's not looking. He'd beat himself up over that decision later, but thats what he'd do. 3. Peter ain't cool. He's got a good social circle and I could see people being amazed that he gets the attention of a few popular girls, but I don't think folk would naturally find themselves being jealous of him or wishing they had what he had. Frankly the most accurate version of showing Peter hanging out with his friends would be like him DMing a DND session at his house with like at most Harry, MJ, and whatever the extremely nerdy friend du jour is. The reason Peter has charisma is because he has a mask to hide behind, in his day to day life people probably just see him as a quiet geeky kid. Also just like general notes is because people process grief in different ways it would be good to show that? Like MJ would probably be very openly sad, Harry would probably get mad, and Peter would probably wall himself off. Play in that space and see how these three different coping methods interact and intersect with one another and the strain it puts on their relationship and for gods sake show us what normal looks like before then
@pink_kino5 ай бұрын
alot of this sort of changed and was altered in like TASM which is you having the more Outward expression of grief which is more relatable these days than totally internalized(Symbiote was important cause it actually externalized his internal feelings), also Peter I like more when he came off as a loner in TASM just going through the motions than like the nerd but yeah this is definitely not the traditional Peter Parker but yk I like TASM's rendition more also in TNAS Peter was a bit cooler iirc

Tbh, I would be fine with the alterations to Peter had the movie taken the time to properly establish this version of him. I don't hate the idea of different interpretations of a character as long as the core of who they are is kept in tact. That being said, again, they didn't really go into what Peter is like in this movie, and also, they were really priding themselves on this being a super accurate depiction of Peter Parker. So that's why the decisions they made with the way he acts feels so baffling to me.

I recently rewatched Buffy and I knew The Body was coming but this rewatch occurred a couple years after losing my Dad. It broke me in a way it didn’t before, because it captured that feeling of hopelessness and how the world continues with its mundane things like people getting a parking ticket, having to clean something up or your favourite top going missing. But you’re trying come to terms with this huge thing and it feels like the world doesn’t acknowledge it. My only criticism of the episode was it was the first on screen kiss for Willow and Tara and I wish that it hadn’t been a part of an episode dealing with loss

In the original comic, when Peter snaps at MJ, what he says is really harsh, but he says it in two panels of dialogue, and it happens right after his fight with the goblin when his feelings of grief and anger are at their peak. It isn’t true but it hits a nerve because it’s the kind of thing people say about MJ all the time. It clearly hurts her and she almost leaves, but she decides to stay because she really does care about Gwen and wants to be there for Peter now that she’s gone. It’s a beautiful scene that develops the characters and their friendship really thoughtfully In the movie, Peter rants and raves for like a solid thirty seconds, several days if not weeks after Gwen’s death, right after MJ complains that no one will go out with her - as if she really is the selfish party girl who wants to be the center of attention - and she doesn’t even get offended. She just gets defensive and tries to brush the criticism off. It’s like Gavin read the original comic and really thought “yeah, Peter! You show that bitch what’s what!” What a terrible take on that moment

As movie progress Peter's relationship with his friends decline and he's getting mentally and physically exhausted. Peter is about to give everything up but MJ sends him a message and we as the audiences don't see it. Sick kid scece happens and Peter is ready to be Spider-man still and MJ herself helps Peter with sadness over Gwen's death. Both Peter and Spider-man are getting saved by two different people. Plus Harry and Rhino have 30 minutes long sex scene. Perfect movie.

Same here, I’ve had this idea for a Top Gun-like sci-fi adventure called Aviation. I’ve always envisioned it either being a live action blockbuster or an animated film but I’d have to be at least a level 15 filmmaker with at least several projects behind me to even consider funding it. When Marcus brought up dream projects, my mind went to Tick, Tick… Boom!, a project that was created in the wake of failure. Jonathan Larson (best known for the musical Rent) created Tick, Tick… Boom! after slaving for 8 years trying to get his dystopian show Superbia off the ground. The show is all about how over-ambition can cast shadows over friendships, love, creativity, confidence, and everyday responsibilities. This is the pit that can strain any artist from reaching their full potential and hearing Marcus affirm this reminded me why he’s among my top 5 creators.

It's perfectly fine to not like the MCU Spider-Man films (or any Spider-Man adaptation, for that matter), but when that hatred is used as fuel to make a movie to spite something you don't personally like, then it no longer feels sincere or honest.

Maybe it's because they mostluly occupy an odd middleground where not just anyone can crap them out for free like fan-fics, which can also be fine of course but have *a lot* of drivel. Still, between coding and other issues, it tends to require genuine passion and drive while still not also tending to balloon into being *as* resource-intensive as some fan films can get, at least the ones that to tend too become big and then need to essentially scam people like some bigger fan films do. The latter is maybe also why a lot of the notable crappier video games were (or still are) Kickstarter ones, which is why it earned its bad reputation that still somewhat clings to it.

They had a good VFX team and costume/prop designers that they put into a trailer and people ate up. I would never trust some random student guy with such pretentious comments to helm the entire production without any experience or industry professionals involved and the fact people gave them money before the film was made makes my head spin. Seeing the scenes inside the warehouse or shipping container or whatever it is is hilarious and the goblin fight oh jesus. Totally agree with the lighting comments too haha

Remember kids, just because you read the source material and watch a couple of movies - it doesn’t automatically mean you can do better

I would say that’s true for the most part, but there are exceptions to this. For example, Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated (the new KZfaq series, not the one that aired on Cartoon Network) is a passion project that has a darker take on Scooby-Doo and it’s a million times better than that Velma show. You can tell the people behind the series know the source material and respect it. Granted, the series only has one episode right now because it was released last year, but I highly recommend watching it if you love Scooby-Doo.

20:15 I fucking hate this scene, Flash didn't hate Peter Parker because of jealousy, if they where actually comic book accurate, They would would made the reason why he bullies peter be because of his dad, he only was a Bully because his dad was abusive to him, so he wanted to feel superior to others, then after a while he realizes that he was being dumb doing that, then they became friends, then he went to war, lost his legs, became agent venom, Agent Anti-Venom, etc, etc, etc But it wasnt because of jealousy, Flash literally was with black cat and had like, 90 different girls fawning over him, like why would he be jealous of Peter having two girls liking him?
@Linator42 күн бұрын
You’re absolutely right about that being the main reason he bullies Peter, but to counterpoint your last statement, the Spider-Man: Blue comic (which is honestly a beautiful tearjerker) has a panel where MJ & Gwen are competing over their affection for Peter. I think he had moved into Harry’s place, & Flash was downstairs asking “lemme get this straight: they’re BOTH up there with him?” I don’t think he’s beyond jealousy, but your point still stands. He even warms up to Peter a little by the end when he announces he’s joining the army.

buffy going out the back door and hearing the world around her is when the episode got me. Just the sound of the world continuing on, like everything is normal - everyone who has lost someone close to them has had that moment. The moment of realizing that the universe doesn't give a rat's ass that this is the worst day of your life

They were clearly going for the scene from the comics where Peter similarly lashes out at MJ. But they forgot the most crucial part of the scene: Mary Jane chooses to comfort Peter after he tells her to leave, serving as the lynchpin that allows him to move on.

You know, that part where Cosmonaut said that "young film students don't know how to cut stuff from their films" actually spoke to me, when I was in college I had a classmate that was told to cut some stuff out of her short and she said that she didn't know what to cut out when her short was like 44 MINUTES LONG, lmfao

It’s the classic advice given to writers “kill your darlings”. You’re going to have a bunch of ideas for stories, characters, settings, themes, etc. But even if they’re good. If you turn a book that should only realistically be 300 pages, into almost 1,000 pages. Or a short film that should only really be 10 minutes, into 90 minutes. Then it doesn’t matter how good those ideas are. It’ll be a complete mess of pacing, tonal shifts, and plot threads. Save those ideas for different works, and kill them in the works where they don’t need to be in.

And not only cutting out whole scenes that don't add anything and mess with the pacing. Just by re-editing all the scenes, one by one, in way they flow better does wonders to the final product. Usually you can trim out 20% of you assembled originally.
