Happy Marvel Monday guys!! Super stoked to be getting closer to NWH and Bully Macguire is my new spirit animal 😂

The sandman scene in this movie actually made me tear up when I was a kid watching. Such a good motivation for a villain and they did a great job making him believable and sympathetic

The symbiote is a living entity. It experienced everything Peter did when it was bonded to him, and it even had access to his knowledge and memories. And once it bonded to Eddie, he gained the knowledge of Peter that the symbiote learned, including that Mary Jane called him "tiger."

One of my favorite parts of the movie is when his landlord is the first to realize something is very wrong with Peter. He’s always giving him a hard time about rent and whatever, but it goes to show that Peter is a good person and people around him know it.

33:29 the symbiote bonded with Peter first. It remembers him, and shares his memories. When it bonded with Eddie, it gave him that same information

The legendary Bully Maguire... Its like an art. World was not ready in 2007, now we really appreciate it.

This was easily my favorite of the trilogy as a kid. Just so many villains. It was awesome. But as I grew up and started appreciating storytelling and character development, the 2nd one stood above. And to me it still holds up in the greater catalog of not only super hero movies, but all movies.

The Maitre d’ (Bruce Campbell) is also the ringmaster who introduces Peter as Spider-Man in the 1st movie and the usher who won’t let him into the theater in part 2.

I love that every jump scare in all 3 movies is what we ALL went through as kids. Especially the Norman seizure scene in the first movie. Made sure to ALWAYS turn the tv volume down 😭😂

This movie is really good. The cringe is intentional the symbiote doesn't make Peter cool. It makes him not care that you don't think he's cool. Confidence doesn't automatically make someone cool, but it can make someone stand out. The overlying theme of this movie is forgiveness. The only one that couldn't forgive was Eddie so he died full of hate.

This movie is heavily underrated.

Bro the bit where you impersonate normans seizing was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Originally the movie was going to have more horror aspects to it. Such as Peter having a vision to what he'd look like fully bonded to the symbiote, becoming nothing more than a mindless monster. Or that Eddie Brock would have fully assimilated into the symbiote, so in the final scene where Peter tries to pull him out he would have pulled out nothing but bones, contorted because of the goo to have a more evil look to them

The legendary Bully Maguire... Its like an art. World was not ready in 2007, but 2024 we want that back

"I'm gonna put some gum on the ground and hope you step on it." LMAO I AM DEAD

Fun fact: in order to do the sandman effect, the effects crew had to write a program to make the sand effect. That's why they spend so long on it.

Every film in the trilogy has a theme. The first one is obvious, responsibility. The second is themed around choices, the theme of responsibility is still there but the idea of choosing between doing what you want to do and doing what you should is a deep theme, the "to do what's right" speech hammers this home. The third film does the same as the second, implementing the theme of the past film (choice) but adding to it, in this film, the major theme is forgiveness, harry choosing to forgive Peter for all that's happened between them, Peter choosing to forgive flint and MJ choosing to forgive Peter as well, of course there's the major theme of ego and pride in the film, letting go of both to do the right thing, but forgiveness takes centre stage.

The reason there was no closure with Peter and MJ was because there was supposed a fourth film. It would of had Dr. Conners, the college professor in this film and the second, as The Lizard as the villain. The fourth film had fully started production before Sony shut it down.

Hands down my favorite Tobey Maguire Spiderman film.... when Peter says "Where am I?" in such a subtle way and then the loud dark orchestra comes in with the Black suit Spiderman score it's just amazing... when I watched it as a kid for the first time I was honestly shook but that was the first time I ever experienced chills from a film... Just the best Tobey Spiderman film.. I can't wait for you to see Andrew Garfield's take on Spiderman Alex! Gonna finally realize that Gwen Stacy is the better partner for Peter lol :D

30:38 LMFAO the cut from the close up on peter to alex killed me 💀

The little girl that hustles Jameson is Sam Raimi's daughter, BTW. Plus the little boys that give Spidey his mask back in 2 were Tobey's nephews

for the time, the sandman scene was revolutionary tech, I remember having a book about the behind the scenes of the spider-man trilogy and they definitely wanted you to know how much work it took to make sandman, he had like 3 or 4 pages of the whole book just to the cgi

Hey Alex, loved this reaction dude. Had me laughing so much bro. Have a dope ass day!

The guy with the magnets is Ted Rami, director Sam Rami's brother, and the guy who puts the ring in the glass is Bruce Campbell one of his best friends who is in all his movies. I love that they are like Stan Lee in his movies, they just show up somewhere.

DUUDE, I've lived for 23 years, and I'm only NOW realizing thanks to you that the actor playing the Sandman is the same bad guy from George of the Jungle. YOU OPENED MY EYES

Even after ruining everything They gave AVI ARAD a big thank you in the credits of NO WAY HOME

Raimi trilogies: I - origin story II - questions super-powers III - becomes an asshole

I actually love this movie. I love the whole Maguire/Spiderman triology

On the subject of the ending, there was supposed to be a fourth movie with Malkovich as the vulture, but Sony pulled the plug and went a different way.

People dislike this one but it was my favourite when I was a kid and it still is from the trilogy. I get the memes and shit but it was just a sick watch

The director Sam Raimi wanted this to be a teamup between villains- his pitch was Sandman and another one called Vulture (who eventually became the villain of Spider-Man Homecoming). Sony pushed Venom as a villain because the black suit look is highly marketable.

Eddie knew stuff about Peter that he shouldn't have because he bonded with the symbiote which transferred some of the information to him.

i’ve been laughing at the 30:40 zoom in for like 5mins it’s so funny for no reason

I always felt like Harry should've put on his father's Goblin suit and no idea he'd go for that poor man's version.

I like the Harry stuff a lot in this movie, but where it always falls flat is it's treatment of venom. He's one of the most iconic characters in comics, and the symbiote storyline for both Peter and Eddie is so iconic that when it was promised for this movie and it underdelivered it is really noticeable. There are a thousand production reasons that it was included in this movie but it really should have stood on its own to give it time to breathe. If this movie was just sandman and harry, I think it dodges a lot of the hate. Greate reaction as always!

26:18 "I'm gonna kick your little ass". I'm dead on the floor. 😂

That flash of Walt Jr. Near the beginning made me spit out my drink

Don't dis the sandman reveal. That's an amazing scene, a great example of silent storytelling, and they literally had to create new softwares in order to animate it.

This trilogy shows me that they're both perfect for each other because they're both just oblivious about EVERYTHING

19:41 When they get your order wrong.

"Chief, we have a 911 call with a report of a supervillain taking a hostage." "Let me guess, the hostage is Mary Jane Watson?" "Yep.""

Just because an 8/10 is technically lesser than two 10/10 doesn't make it a "bad" movie in the slightest. There's really only two scenes I would change, and I wouldn't take anything else away. Given all of the turmoil of production, Raimi deserves an award that it still came out as good as it did. Also, best Venom, fight me.

From the intro in the start YOU CAN TELL THIS IS GONNA BE AN INTERESTING VIDEO ahahaaa , Alex got me laughing and it wasn’t even a minute in LOL

Throughout this trilogy, Peter Parker/Spider-Man has battled and defeated most of the Sinister Six, but of course, he didn't know at the time. Also, Gwen Stacy was portrayed by Bryce Dallas Howard, daughter of Ron Howard, the little boy on the Andy Griffith Show!!!

I remember when production on Spider-Man 4 was about about to start, then all of a sudden, it all fell apart. Now, many years later, Sam Raimi via Screen Rant says it still a possibility. Maguire's Spidey's the best and deserves a fitting finale.

4:00 to answer your question, most likely not as Spider-man has killed MJ before with his radioactive nut. only in a What If? comic has she survived and they had a child

Venom really shouldn't have been forced into this movie, Rami didn't feel it was the right time story and effects wise to bring him in. It would have given more time for Harry and Sandman stories. Both are complex characters in the comics. The sand truck would be for all the construction going on around the city. The Symbiote knows all the things Peter had experienced.

The symbiote was attached to Peter first so it’s know everything about him…that’s how Eddie knew about spider sense and his GF calling him tiger. It’s also when his spider sense doesn’t go off when venom attacks but that might be in other iterations.

When you do eventually react to the Star Wars series, here's the order I personally think you should follow: 1. Original Trilogy (A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return Of The Jedi) 2. Prequel Trilogy (The Phantom Menace, Attack Of The Clones, Revenge Of The Sith) 3. Star Wars: The Clone Wars seasons 1-7 (chronological order) 4. One-Offs (Rogue One, Solo) 5. Rebels seasons 1-4 6. Sequel Trilogy (The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, The Rise Of Skywalker) 7. The Mandalorian season 1 and 2 8. The Bad Batch season 1 9. The Book Of Boba Fett 10. Visions 11. Obi-Wan Kenobi 12. Andor 13. Tales Of The Jedi season 1 14. The Bad Batch season 2 and those are just the movies/shows that have been released so far

Spider-Man's Spider Sense can be fooled if he doesn't have a reason to believe that he is in any form of physical danger.

I blame AVI ARAD for destroying Sam Raimi's ambition He forced the inclusion of VENOM just so he could sell more toys

Fun fact: Spider webs do have coagulating properties and can help stop bleeding. Survival technique learned from Vietnam 👍

The symbiote has all of Peter's memories, which is why he says tiger, and ohhhh my spider senses are tingling

Love this movie so much, my parents had to leave me in the theater halfway through cause it was too cheesy for them. First time having to see a movie alone, definitely wasn't my last. So I could really relate to Pete growing up. Seeing bully Mcguire get his was in this movie for a bit was a little satisfying for my nerdy side ngl

I always thought people were crazy for hating this movie so much. Great reaction.

A lot of people find Peter's lines cringy when he's wearing the black suit, but that's literally Peter Parker. An awkward smart guy who sometimes says cringy stuff, all the black suit does is just remove his awkwardness.

I HAVE SEEN ALL THESE MOVIES 100 TIMES AND WHY AM I ONLY JUST NOW REALIZING THE RING ANNOUNCER FROM THE FIRST MOVIE, THE USHER THAT WOULDN’T LET PETER IN IN THE 2ND AND THE HOST IN THE RESTAURANT IN THIS ONE ARE ALL THE SAME GUY AND IT’S BRUCE FREAKIN CAMPBELL

Fun fact: they had to write an entire engine for the sand CGI. In some practical scenes it's corn flour and stuff like that, but in Flint's rebirth scene it's way too advanced for 2006-2007 VFX. Looks a tiny bit off nowadays, but still extremely impressive tech.

this movie is known as an example on how studios fuck up things because they think they smort but no brain and because money and ruin everything. "yea I have the third part ready, the sandman is gonna be the bad guy and we'll continue with the goblin thing from the previous two movies" "hey thats good but you know what people want? that venom guy!" "but.. we'll have to change everything to fit him there, its gonna be crowded af m8, dont you want to wait until the 4th one to make it about him or the next one or something?" "put that venom guy there more villains more money yeah" "fuck this have your venom guy. but after this im out, cya suckeeeers"

I just tried to watch this and noticed something crazy. So when spider man saves gwyn during the crane breaking.. as hes diving hes dodging all these large pieces of building and debris falling faster to get to her.. as he makes the catch shows them landing... all that debris that should be smashing all around them just disappear becomes it becomes a practical shot...

Lucy Lawless who punk rocker in this movie and Ted Raimi who plays Hoffman and Bruce Campbell played the Wrestler person in the first movie and he was the person who was the at the theater. All 3 of them was in a Tv series called Hercules: The Legendary Journeys also Xena: Warrior Princess

It’s so sad when she asks him in the first movie, “Who are you?” and he says, “Just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man”. Then in this movie, she asks him, “Who are you?” and he says, “…I don’t know…” 😭😭😭

When I was 9, this movie was my favorite out of the trilogy, and even today I think it's still a good movie that I don't think deserves the hate people give it.

You: *stop watching the movie* Bully Maguire: I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye

The sandman scene is the best part of it and the best part of most super hero movies - a real properly paced birth scene

Spiderman 3 is my favorite. I don't care what anyone says. Seeing Peter cut loose and actually start being more than just a pushover really spoke to me ever since I saw it

This trilogy was from an era before superhero movies went dark. So the "cheesy" stuff was the norm. It wasn't until Marvel started making everything about the end of the world that this series started looking a little silly.

Tell me he didn't realize the ring announcer from 1, the guy that stopped Peter to go to the Play in 2, and the French guy in 3 were all Bruce Campbell.

When I was young and saw the church scene I genuinely thought that God or Jesus actually listened to Eddy and decided to actually kill Peter.

9:26 they kinda were showing off that scene bc no movie had ever had that many particles rendered at one time, it was a big deal when it came out.

I smiled when Alex said hey liked pete happy. “Oh i forget your new at this. Give Parker a roll of quarters and five minutes. He’ll get his laundry done and 5 new traumatizing expenses.” the American flag is cheese but Saturday fever spidy gets a pass?!

35:07 Well... He still wants its power, so... There you go...that's the results, no matter how evil or bad it was, he still wants it.

This one actually is my favorite in the trilogy! 😁

The way Peter's Spider Sense works in the comics is more along the lines of threat detection then an all time awareness of his surroundings. Peter doesn't see Harry as a threat, at least at that point in the movie, so he wasn't warned about Harry behind him. It's also why he can't see venom coming. The symbiote was bonded to Peter for long enough that it no longer triggers his Spider Sense.

Really wish we got Spider-Man 4. Sadly it was canceled, but this trilogy is still amazing. So excited to see your reaction to NWH. Also, will you be reacting to the Tom Hardy Venom movies on your road to NWH? It's apart of Sony's Spider-Man universe in a way

36:39 - 36:45 Mary Jane: "By the way, I'm getting married." Peter Parker: "Seriously!?" Mary Jane: "Yep, to another astronaut too." (Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic)

bro ngl This is the perfect trilogy and I love watching these while eating pizza

Was roaming through YT all day cause none of my favorite reactors uploaded I’ve been caught up with all of them. I refresh this and you uploaded 7 minutes ago😂CLUTCH while I smoke these woods

33:22 the black suit is sentient and passed that knowledge on to Eddie when he bonded with it

This is un-ironically my most favorite spiderman movie of all time

Police: you killed Peter Parker, who was your accomplice? Eddie: Jesus, i prayed to him for help. Police: Ca...can we arrest jesus? Is that a thing?

The best thing about this movie is Spider-Man with the massive Old Glory 🇺🇸 flowing behind him with that heroic and stunningly beautiful theme song in the background.

I love how you gave Eddie s*** for saying his "spider sense was tingling if you know what I'm talking about,"but it's literally what you've been saying for the last 3 movies.

I think Tobey cried more than the whole cast of a Nicholas Sparks movie

"Don't give me the horse thing!" "I'd give her the horse thing." ;)

The movie still has some major issues but I've grown to appreciate what they tried to do the older I've gotten. The suit didn't suddenly turn Peter into an asshole, it was there all along.

I just realized the the theater door manager from the last movie is the restaurant manager in this movie.

22:54 “ooo that makes me hungry,” LMAO

It’s actually quite realistic to have a truck full of sand, a lot of construction companies buy and import sand for, well… construction reasons 😂😂

Venom was bounded to Spidey. Which means, it knows everything about him and has is power. Also Spider-man can't since Venom, because of the bound.

If you remember in to the Spiderverse, they make a joke about the bully street dance.

“I dunno if it’s cringey or if it works.” Yep 😂

Get Over It is an overlooked comedy from 2001 that also features Kirsten Dunst singing - Colin Hanks is the older brother, Mila Kunis is the best friend, Sisqo is clumsy af trying to catch Mila's eye, and the parents of the main character make a living hosting an after-hours sex talk show. There's a handful of other very recognizable actors - I really think you'd enjoy it and your brand of commentary would be perfect for it.

"A little bit of cheesiness" That's an understatement. But despite all that, it still holds a special place in my heart.

The way the black suit/Venom works is that it suppresses the host's inhibitions. So Peter's usual shy/reserved nature is blocked, allowing him to outwardly act how he feels. More simply, it takes the little voice in your head that says "Don't do it", ties it up, and locks it in the trunk. 27:30 Maybe, but the dialogue was *extremely* predictable. 28:25 Yup. This is Peter with self-confidence. Also, this movie was *plagued* by studio interference. It was originally meant to only have one villain, but Sony studio execs wanted to include all the big Spider-Man villains to try and rush into making a larger world (hilariously unaware of what the main Marvel Studios was cooking up: Iron Man and the MCU). Also, Tobey Maguire wanted way too much money. I say he deserved whatever he was asking, but oh well.

They had plans on a 4th McGuire movie, which was gonna have both Vemon and Carnage in it. They had posters made already, but Sony ended up canceling it and decided to go with the Andrew Garfield movies instead.

The close-ups at 30:36 had me crying 😂😂

You're the first person I've seen to hate on the birth of Sandman scene :( Such a fantastic beautiful scene

My only issue is that they didn't capitalize on the set up done in the previous movie, with the introduction of Dr. Curt Connors who becomes The Lizard in the comics. How cool would The Lizard and Sandman be as villains? Instead, we got Sandman and That 70s Venom.

Never realized it until like 3 years after the movie came out that Harry basically perfected the performance enhancer
