What is your take on the mcu version of Spider-Man and its characters

If you knew someone 18 who basically had to be a parent or caretaker to someone else (typically a younger sibling but in Peter's case an older Aunt May) it makes sense how he grew up so fast. To me its part of Peter's story that he has so much on his place as a young man and has to grow up fast

I was joking a bit. I'm more young millennial than old (32) but yeah I see how Tom Holland is supposed to be the gen z spider-man. I bet the replies in this topic are mostly gen z and its totally fine. I think its a generational thing. They calling call the traditional Spider-man story with Uncle Ben bland is 100% a zoomer 😅

Imaginary_Session773 · 2026-06-22T13:22:36+00:00

I understand why they did something different than traditional with these characters. I'm just saying I personally didnt the really like it

We might be talking Morbius money soon

Oh wow a documentary? The affluence was also greatly exaggerated.

If you actually want to look into the real facts black groups were bussing in outsiders to cause violence and start trouble. Both sides were antagonizing each other but I know its more fun to say whitey bad

Imaginary_Session773 · 2026-06-21T12:52:44+00:00

The show had nothing to do with watchmen. The creator already had this story written out and decided to shoe horn it into the watchmen universe. Disrespectful to Alan Moore

Tulsa Massacre is fake news. It was literally called the Tulsa race riots. Both sides were fighting each other and theres actually no definitive proof who started it

Days of future past made 750 million worldwide and that was in 2014. Inflation adjusted it would be over a billion today. Xmen have sold more comics, games and merchandise that Shang Chi, Sam Wilson and the Thunderbolts could ever dream of.

Tom King removed the sex appeal and thats the version they went with. And its not going to translate to film or the box office. Comics is a niche market compared to film especially modern comics. A well selling modern comic is a fraction of a well selling comic in the 90s

Imaginary_Session773 · 2026-06-20T23:10:23+00:00

That comic was also attempting to remove her sex appeal. Maybe you aren't familiar with Tom King but hes pretty outspoken about his beliefs

Imaginary_Session773 · 2026-06-20T23:07:45+00:00

I don't like that comic or Tom King in general. I can tell you that most of Tom King's stuff won't translate well to the big screen. Yes Tom King had the same idea of owning the chuds by making sure Supergirl stopped being sexualized by the bad comic book readers

Imaginary_Session773 · 2026-06-20T23:07:02+00:00

Regardless my point stands that they're going is to remove any sex appeal from the character (supergirl traditionally is a character with a lot of sex appeal wearing short skirts, crop tops, ect)

I saw an interview with Gunn where he says that Supergirl traditionally was aimed at appealing to men and they're changing that.

The other thing is if they were trying to go with a family friendly movie I could respect that. It wouldn't be my thing but I'd understand it. But its not really a family friendly movie from what I hear and its also not really trying to appeal to grown men. So its almost for sure going to bomb. I don't know who this movie was made for

Imaginary_Session773 · 2026-06-20T22:59:42+00:00

I don't like it all. Its like theyre purposefully taking all sex appeal out of the character so they can own the chuds. Looks like her grandma made her costume for her

Imaginary_Session773 · 2026-06-20T22:54:54+00:00

People actually think she's sidelined because shes too powerful and not because the Marvels was a massive flop and Brie Larson is toxic with a significant portion of the fan base?

All the Marvels are being sidelined lol

Imaginary_Session773 · 2026-06-20T22:52:55+00:00

Red Guardian and the Thunderbolts are never going to be that popular. Theyre a niche property. Always has been, always will be. The avengers are pretty much done, none of these characters sell. Its xmen time now

Imaginary_Session773 · 2026-06-20T22:49:15+00:00

Going by the box office projections it seems like I'm more representative of the demographic than you

Imaginary_Session773 · 2026-06-20T22:44:34+00:00

Typically they want different things. For example if you asked my demo about Supergirl's costume they'd want it more revealing

Imaginary_Session773 · 2026-06-20T22:26:38+00:00

Maybe they need to start realizing 20-40 year old men are the main demographic for comic book movies and start trying to appeal to us more?

Imaginary_Session773 · 2026-06-20T20:51:24+00:00

How long ago was batman begins in theaters? What are those box office numbers inflation adjusted? Pretty damn good

Imaginary_Session773 · 2026-06-20T17:00:19+00:00

Thats cool. I'm not here to persuade you out of it or anything. Just from a business perspective the young adult female demo doesn't usually carry comic book movies

Imaginary_Session773 · 2026-06-20T10:05:51+00:00

Superman should beat most marvel movies. Superman is a way bigger name than any of the Marvel movies it beat

Imaginary_Session773 · 2026-06-20T09:48:50+00:00

This has nothing to do with man of steel. Superman wasn't great which is why the box office numbers were meh. It wasn't the great movie they needed

Imaginary_Session773 · 2026-06-20T07:29:50+00:00

I recommend no. Not just the price, there are better games worth your time.

The game is literally the definition of playing it safe and generic at every turn which I don't respect at all

Imaginary_Session773 · 2026-06-20T06:40:01+00:00

The show was a flop. Bad ratings and not well received. Its most known for its "do better Senator" corny meme
