But then suddenly a giant chicken arrived at his house ordering him to surrender all his possessions, Amazing Spider-Man punched the chicken in the face and escaped, but the chicken was not having it and got in a car to chase him.

Alright, I'm at the final weeks of my University work so I am beyond swamped, which is why I've blundered releasing the One X-Cellent Scene video and getting this one out on time. But to make it up to everyone, I'm hoping to get the next video: "Looking Back on Star-Lord and Gamora's Romance" later this week.
I wish you luck
Thanks! 😊
Good luck man, it’s gonna be great!
Good luck with Uni! I'm really enjoying all the Spidermen analysis
Take your time bro. Appreciate the videos.
The Amazing Spider-Man's Flash Thompson is hands down the best movie one
Yeah I didn't notice how nuanced and dynamic he's written until I was editing the video and wow, now I absolutely miss him
They really shouldn’t have stuck him in the “important to origin story only” category like the first Raimi film did with its Flash.
Yup. He feels a lot more true to the comics.
Keyla Kettlem Jardim yeah, I like the rich kid brat Flash, but I was intrigued by this kid and wanted to see how he would end up.
He only has more screen time, but his change doesn't feel organic. Raimi's Flash was just a regular bully, Web's Flash is shown first as a psychopath and latter as someone who for some reason cares about Peter.
I am so HYPED to see Andrew get the love he deserves. Thank you for doing my favorite wallcrawler some long-overdue justice!
Thank you so much!😊😊
Glaf theres more people that feel like me aswell
Fr, Flash Thompson Is supposed to he a sports player jock type of bully.The one in Tom's series just isnt it lol.
@@ramzzgaming1332 I mean the whole point of the mcu Spider-Man movies are to reinterpret the 60s archetypes in a more modern way, like mj not being a party girl, and flash being more annoying than a straight up comic book jock/bully
Despite it's problems The Amazing Spider-Man is still a pretty solid film.
Yes, unlike the 2nd film
Both of em are pretty awesome. Some People just keep complaining about even the tiniest mistakes!
@@jothishprabu8 we arent fanboys who just likes everything spider-man even if its bad.
@@anlexaify yeah, tom holland sucks
it's an amazing film
It’s odd, I always looked at this movie as a science fiction story about relationships, that occasionally gets interrupted by the superhero antics. And though New York is in danger, it feels small. Kind of like MCU Spider-Man but that’s part of the, well, the MCU, while TASM is very much it’s own thing.
It does make me feel good to see Garfield and the Webb movies get some love as theyve since been kinda seen as the oft reviled middle child of the spidey movies
I loved tasm films so much! I loved flash in the movie! Hes not that much of a bully overall, and hes the first to acknowledge and comfort peter when his uncle dies! And they become friends in the end! Flash doesn't pick on him anymore!
I live The amazing spider man series sure it feels more like Ultimate spider man but still
The first TASM movie is intensely underrated, but the second one is hot garbage
@@KyrenDinh it's hot garbage but I will say the initial swinging is still 5 of the best minutes of perfect Spider-Man execution I've ever seen
@@WillTheGreatest I concede that it was a well-filmed mess. Most of it's issues were with plot and flow. Honestly though, the yellow lenses mask from the first movie is one of my favorite Spidey looks. It's a shame they abandoned it. The second suit is more faithful to the comics, but it has so much less identity
Andrew’s version is probably the best honestly. It just feels...real. The characters and environment. He also acts like an actual teenager (Tom does too) and it’s relatable.
The amazing Spider-Man has the best character interactions
Yeah Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield were really magical together!
They were AMAZING
I agree
Implicitly Pretentious it just seemed like they were improvising and I liked it
@@OirichEntertainment BRUH🤣
Cultural circumstance has shaped a lot of the Spider-men after the Raimi trilogy.
- Both the Webb and Watts versions have a common critique of "not being Raimi"
- TASM was only created for Sony keep the rights
- MCU has Spider-man shaped by when they had the rights. If he was introduced in either Phase 1 or 2, he would be a much different character
- And the Nostalgia of Raimi's closed universe seems to have made Spider-man interacting with the expanded universe of the MCU seem wrong, with everyone referring to him as "Iron Boy Jr" because he isn't the lone wolf in a world with no other Superheroes
Edit: good points in the comments about the whole “Iron boy jr” argument. I probably should have elaborated a bit more.
The timing of Spider-mans introduction basically dictated that he would have a relationship with Tony. Tony’s at a shifting point for his character, and the introduction of Spider-man at this point created the father-son dynamic that ties into both their arcs. If Spider-man was introduced earlier, he would have a more casual relationship with Tony, as well as growing more, potentially even reaching college age by the time Infinity War was released. This would have allowed Peter to have a more isolated arc that is my centred around Tony. That doesn’t mean to say that what we got was bad, personally, I really connected to the arc of living up to expectations and trying to impress the adults.
This also doesn’t mean that anyone who doesn’t like the way things went is wrong, it’s just their opinion.
I think the common critique on the MCU Spider-Man being "Iron Boy Jr." is kinda valid I guess. The critic comes from his character and story "relying on Iron Man" for two movies already, hence the Iron Boy Jr. comments. I feel that they could've made the stories self-contained while still being in the MCU. Although I understand too why they went with that route as they need to introduce Spidey in the MCU and they can't just have him pop up out of nowhere. And Peter and Tony's relationship makes sense.
As for the Webb series, I feel like they could've been done better. The 1st one was decent but the second one was just mess of different ideas. They could've explored further or focused on the idea of "The Untold Story" they had as a tagline, whatever that is. And yes they feel like a "very commercial movie"? Like it was made for the sake of having a Spidey movie and just for them to keep the rights regardless if it's bad or good?
But I do agree on your points.
Even in comic, Spidey is sidekick of other heroes. I don't understand the iron junior thing.
@@chengkuoklee5734 What? Who is Spider-Man's "master" in the comics?
Spider-man is a fairly lone-wolf of a character though? Several early stories included Spidey trying to join teams and things breaking apart.
And he was created very specifically not to be a sidekick or have a super-hero mentor as most other teen superheroes did.
@@gota7738 Yes. 100%
I now understand why I always liked and related to this version of Peter Parker the most.
Aww thanks! 😊
Same. When people try to dog him i take it as a personal attack and i bite back lol
9:31 I personally think that TASM is like The Dark Knight Trilogy in terms of how gritty it is.
And yh the City really is like a character in of it’s self. ( again like TDK )
I hope if they ever have a Spidy for any Venom Movie, that they choose Garfield’s version. I love how gritty n’ grounded his version is.
Honestly, TASM had a bright future after the first film released and it really could've meet all of its true potential, but of course Sony wanted their success against the MCU and a few other things (Venom film, Sinister Six film, etc) for money and toys. Their shitty use of greed is what killed not one franchise, but another.
This is why I'm glad Spider-Man 4 or TASM3 never happened, because Sony would've fucked it up to be their corporate moneymaker. And I know people aren't huge fans of MCU Spider-Man, but we have to stick with it so we can avoid the people working behind these films getting fucked over the third time. (and don't count ITSV, that was under Sony Animation and they let the team do their damn job and not butt in.)
But Tobey and Andrew never deserved this, especially Andrew.
Jaws the Hedgefox yup.
I think there are actually plenty and plenty of MCU Spidey fans. He tops most polls I've seen between the three Spideys.
it wasn't SONY by themselves it was the guy who ruined Spider-man 3 as well.
@@casperthaghost8108 Avi Arad
@@pance_9912 I'm relating more to the vocal minority, trust me a lot of people love MCU Spider-Man
This is my favorite Spider-Man movies because it understands the independence that is the hidden motivation behind all of Peter's actions and faults. It gets a core aspect dropped by both other franchises.
Someone who understands and can appreciate the highs and lows of all three spidermen?
Impossible
I enjoy all three adaptations as well, all of them are great imo 😎
@@robl0xgamer258 didn't I see once my guy but Tom's spidey really reminds of miles
@@akhonankosi4704 is that a good thing? (I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just curious) 🤔
@@robl0xgamer258 I don't care about comic book accuracy unlike tom fanboys (although tom is the least accurate to peter and spiderman)
@@robl0xgamer258 it's comes down to you're preferred taste
damn, Andrew's bloody good. That argument with him and Uncle Ben is so well done and well acted. Also the score is gorgeous
Honestly I find Tasm 1 Peter the most relatable one to me. But in Tasm 2 they pushed it a little bit too much.
What i like about TASM is that Gwen knows that Peter is Spider-Man from the start.
Always loved Andrew's version over Tom's. I'd rather have a focused approach on the character than one based around Tony and the MCU as a whole.
I comlpletely agree! I prefer Andrew Garfield's Peter and Spiderman over Tobey Maguire's and Tom Holland. Andrew Garfield is a such a good actor, and his version is my favorite one.
I like that factor as its accurate to the comics peter deals with the small stuff while the bigger heroes affect his world as a whole but that's just me (toms) Andrew is my least favorite but he was in no way terrible
I like both. Tom passive take of having Tom non violent is weird. Andrew had the best supporting cast.
I liked how the environment played a part like the electro fight was a song
This is what I call an Amazing essay
Besides I feel like I sometimes do have a personal connection to Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker when he's an loner and finding his identity in his high school years
Thank you so much! And yeah I think a part of definitely feel the same too!
@@ImplicitlyPretentious Your Welcome it's my pleasure and it's great to relate to that interpretation of the character 👍
Next time: The implications of not using trauma to tell a traumatic story.
One of the biggest reasons why the TASM movies are my favorite interpretation of the Spider-Man mythos is because of the beautiful relationship and story between Peter and Gwen. I cry every time I watch TASM 2 when she dies.
1:09 The musical main theme in the movie kinda replicates this, it starts out with a piano (Peter) surrounded by the silence of its own noise until trumpets (the Spidey persona) enter and the song grows warmer, and then heroic.
Raimi, Webb and Watts have very different opinions on the Spider-Man franchise and I think that is actually the best way to watch these films, it is summed up perfectly in the last moments of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. "Anyone can wear the mask, YOU can wear the mask because I'm Spider-Man and I'm not the only one"
Yeah I think it's why it's best to treat all adaptations as a Rorschach test! :)
I just love how you could highlight every good aspect from every interaction of Spider-man,that's so hard to see on nowdays where people feel the need to stick to one side and that's it. Also amazing work on the editing and bringing up a lot of storytelling aspects,learning a lot from you.Greetings from Brazil !
Aww thank you! And yeah I'm kinda rebellious, so I can't help but to avoid the popular thing of taking sides 😂 and I never thought anyone would watch my videos let alone from Brazil!😊😊
I personally favor Amazing Spiderman than Sam Raimi or Jon Watts Spiderman because this is the real friendly neighborhood spiderman. The construction workers, police, citizen and kid in this version regconise and aid in spiderman attempt to protect their neighborhood is so touching.
In this version Spiderman is not a cursed lone ranger or an immature kid eager for compliment but simply a good guy offer to help his neighborhood as much as he capable of. The neighborhood is no longer just victims or hostages needed to be rescue but also the sidekick of spiderman in his journey to save their neighborhood together.
"Has a good in him but needs to recognize it for once" Thank you. MCU Peter is such a good kid but has so much self doubt
The amazing Spider-Man was good. It’s that sequel that ruined it. It should have been another small story with Peter choosing Gwen over Spider-Man but still being called to saving the day deep down. Then she dies and he loses what was most important to him . Leading to the Spider-Man no more Cliffhanger. But noooooo they wanted to change tones and be s am raimi and mcu Spider-Man in tone which failed cuz Webb is more a character driving director and not story driven like raimi and watts .
I think tat the original plan for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was to have the Green Goblin be the only villain in the film and for the story to focus a lot more time on Peter and Harry's relationship, eventually leading to Harry killing Gwen. From what I found online Webb wanted The Amazing Spider-Man 3 to be about Peter dealing with grief for everyone he lost, he would go to group counselling where he would meet MJ. Webb wanted Venom to be the villain, with the symbiote "comforting" Peter and acting as a metaphor for his unwillingness to tackle the problem directly and move on with his life, the film probably would have ended with Spider-Man defeating Venom and Peter starting to date MJ
@@robertangus616 these concept done by webb would have been great
@@theflashgordon193 agreed
@@theflashgordon193 release the webb cut
@@ArchyPoppy yeah lol
6:36 Great observation that in playing the iconic lovers real life couple Garfield and stone don't fall into the women as temptress narrative Trope. She's the only one he shares his secret with and the only one he can go to when he's wounded and the love and intimacy between them and his vulnerability which becomes Mutual is utterly compelling and lovely...
Even with the greed the second film stuffed in. The spiderman and Peter character is still there and thematically the same as the first. He evolves to need Gwen to be the embodiment of hope. As he himself has been left behind before. So her death was soo saddening but also what he needs too to collectively become hope as spiderman. Because that's all he has any more no uncle no parents and no Gwen. He has spiderman and through him he is strong enough to be there for others. I love this video man just got me thinking of relating it to the second
Finally a good critique that gives Andrew Garfield the love he deserves, and it's not only "AnDreW bAd bEcAuSe hE iSn'T tObeY".
Thank you so much.
I like you're movie more than iron boy far from good
I’m still waiting for Garfield’s version to show up in Venom
He would've been a great venom
This one was on point, it's great how instead of just pointing out that TASM wasn't made purely out of artistic passion and giving a vague thumbs down towards the industry, you went ahead and made an axis to help explain how the movie turned out. Can't resist a good graph.
The differing inspirations of the Spider-man suit are personally really interesting to me. I'd never thought about it, but that's probably a big part of what bugs me about Holland's Spider-man. MCU Spider-man being strongly connected to Iron Man isn't a deal-breaker for me, but it's definitely not as cool when Spider-man can't take full ownership of his image, at least for that first suit.
Anyways, it's amazing you're still pumping out videos at the rate and reliability you are, given your current exposure (compared to other UA-camrs at least, but it's not my place to say how many views is a lot or a little to you), you'll make it one day (unless you don't care about making it infactIdon'tknowanythingIdon'tknowwhyIthinkIcansaythesethings)
It's been great to see you exploring areas outside your comfort(trauma) zone, and even better that there's less walls of text with technical definitions that made clicking on your videos kind of intimidating in the past.
Can't agree with the sense of goodness in the movie and this Peter. Pete became obsessed with revenge and didn't turn to good until George opened his eyes by explaining how he's a maniac. Yeah, he helped one kid at school but the other things overshadow that
watching this movie again when i was older helped me relate to this peter parker more than the others.
12:32 i was expecting you to say Japanese Spiderman
I may have to recycle him at some point because I'm running out of Spider-men 😂
Who's the best Spider-Man? There isn't one cause they're all great!
Except for Italian Spiderman he dwarfs them all
The amazing spiderman 1 is my personal favorite and the amazing spiderman 2 is also really good in my opinion
Hey, I’d love to see what you think of the scene in Young Justice: Outsiders where Artemis gets closure about Wally by going into limbo to live a life with him, so she can move on. It’s a really powerful scene and I think it could make an amazing video. I love your work and you could make this into a good one.
Thanks! And yeah I've been thinking about either doing an essay on young justice outsiders in general, or individual character identity focused videos, either way I definitely want to touch on that scene at some point!
Implicitly Pretentious I can’t wait for those. They’re gonna be great.
Everything about young justice has a dynamic scene like the twist when nightwing artemis kid flash and kaldur 'ahmn fake artemis' death and the revelation before the end of the season was pretty sick
Okay now this is epic
Aww thanks, writing this totally brought back old memories of our video! 😊
Implicitly Pretentious I wouldn’t oppose another team up 👀
TASM is my favorite Spiderman. Huge fan of both films.
I agree MCU SpiderMan is in a larger universe compared to Raimi, he would interact more with other heroes. But look at MCU SpiderMan villians Vulture is created by Iron Man, Mysterio is also created by Iron Man. SpiderMan literally wears a Stark Tech suit, In Far From Home he is given a private jet from Stark with a suit builder. Happy is now the Alfred of SpiderMan. Iron Man influence is too much. Even Ant man is in MCU entire story is exclusive and true to Ant Man mythos, the only mcu elements are Shield, a falcon fight, a ten rings guy. Black Widow in Winter Soldier movie, plays as a helping role or a supportive character to Captain America and plot doesn't revolve around her. Doctor Strange a completely exclusive story.l
In Homecoming and Far From Home plot revolves around Tony Stark, MCU SpiderMan is not in MCU he is rather in A Tony Verse.
With all this SpiderMan looses his relativity with Audience.
He's still relatable. MCU Peter Parker represents a common man's struggle in the grand world of the MCU.
Also, no matter how much help he gets from Stark and his tech, Peter always overcomes the final threat only through his own powers and strengths.
He defeated Vulture in his homemade suit and Mysterio with his Spidey sense. That sums it all up in my opinion. His connections to Stark or SHIELD doesn't matter because at the end, Peter Parker only comes out on top because he is Spider-Man.
@@vikramprasanna8908 the movies aren't great tho
@@jothishprabu8
Objectively, yes. General consensus is different.
@@vikramprasanna8908 I agree with what you said and I respect your thoughts and opinions but I think Homecoming is a solid movie and way better than FFH, despite the Stark connections it felt more close to being a Spider-Man story, albeit not a Peter Parker story.
That's the thing with Homecoming and FFH if we think about it: They focus more on Spidey and the MCU than Peter Parker hence the Stark/SHIELD/Avengers connections. The third film will change that now that Peter is in a personal situation only *he* has to fix w/o anyone's help. But to me, whether or not the films are great or shit, it's subjective, more of an opinion. Using the term "Objectively" sounds like a fact, which again should be more of an opinion.
You are so wrong about “losing the relatability “.
It’s just that you stuck it in your hard head that peter parker relatable point NEEDS to be “oh he has financial problems, struggles with girls and is a classic nerd”. When that’s not even fucking close to it . Spidermans success is cause he can be anyone under the mask. There is *NO* greater and simpler example to that than the Spiderverse movie. It sums it up perfectly.
Yeah I also dislike that the spiderman from MCU has a bit too much “Stark “ in him but I understand it, given the context of their relationship in the universe and all. It makes sense. But fine, lets say its too much and that ruins him to a point.
In the first movie, Peter is just a kid(that can lift a bus) trying to do a solid for the neighborhood. Just being a nice guy and -AS EVERY SINGLE SLIGHTLY TEENAGER- trying to get the attention from the people he respects in order to be acknowledged. Not only that, he focuses too much on proving that he is worthy to other until that has a backlash and he loses the suit.
It’s at that point the character has to be mature and be his best self FOR HIM. Im school, relationships and eventually also as a hero.
That’s relatable.
Being a teen. Not having a proper guidance all the time and not knowing the correct answer. That’s human.
MCU spiderman does not simply become THE great Hero of the city in 40 minutes like Tobey’s and Garfields(in the sense of expertise and confidence of the latter), hell, he is even ignored by civilians at times in the movie. If you look at any scenario, that would be the most common. One isn’t born a hero, you don’t just become one out of the sudden. You grow into one, just like one grows mature eventually.
In short: just because he got privileged with assistance, it doesn’t mean he lost “relatability “. MCU spiderman is a VERY relatable and human character, especially for teenagers.
That’s what spiderman is about. Not just being a nerd with money problems that uses spandex and is the epitome of heroism from the get go.
That scene where Flash tries to talk to Peter after his uncle died and Peter just grabs him and shoves him into the wall, but even then he still tries to comfort Peter and give him his condolences, that was fucking amazing. That scene with Peter breaking down on the jet with Happy and then building his new suit was also amazing as fuck, and if I had to pick my favorite moment from the Raimi movies that would probably be when Peter convinces Doc Ock to do the right thing with just his words alone. And also the train scene, and I don't think I need to explain why.
What's up danger
Sorry just got finish watching into the spider verse again 😅
It is amazing. I actually made a video on it: ua-cam.com/video/gCZtCxqdCoI/v-deo.html
Hope you enjoy.
@@OirichEntertainment thanks
Np. Hope you liked it
Oh my godd i wish i have discovered this earlierr!! This video is really good, thank you!
Am I the only one who loves this movie. Like, I grew up with the Raimi films, but I've loved this version ever since it came out.
Thank you for reminding me how good Italian Spiderman is
I DON’T HATE TO SAY IT BUT....😤😤.....your videos hit the SPOT😭
Aww thank you so much!😊😊😊
*Supaidaman has joined the chat*
If tom didn't existed in MCU and didn't had that ironman jr. Tag ................i bet noone would have liked him !
I loved the Amazing Spider-Man movies (especially the first one) and I wish it had more production time
lets be honest. getting a guy named WEBB to direct spiderman movies was the best coincidental thing to ever happen.
I like watching video essays and movie critiques and a lot of people hate the amazing Spider-Man móveis and rightfully so as they’re mostly bad. Butt this video essay explains the flaws and pros of the movies so eloquently it honestly just makes me happy. Great video!
Am I the only one that think the amazing spider man 1 and 2 look visually stunning.
God damn it this completely recontextualizes the TASM movies and I need to rewatch them
At first I didn't like this.Now I like it very much because of how the characters interacted and how it was darker and Hands down the best score in a Spiderman movie according to me.The visuals I feel are brilliant even when compared to far from home.
to be honest i don’t really understand why people say that the amazing spiderman is bad i think it’s a good story.
If only the parents plotline was wrapped up in the first film, and then added upon in a good way in the second. Also what a great analogy
The "still not taking the picture" line gets me everytime
RDJ is uncle Ben in the MCU. Which is terribly forced into
Tony certainly serves a similar role, but he's not a replacement
I understand people's issues with this movie, but it is still my absolute favorite Spiderman film. The characters have always been what sold me, if the characters are good, I'll love the movie, and this had by far the best characters.
💥~I love the Marc Web / Andrew Garfield Spider-mans~💥
Loneliness, vulnerability...Ugh!! that actor who plays Peter's dad... Youuuu knoooww...
Him!, Garfield, Emma's Gwen...Leary... LOVE IT❗
The amazing Spider-Man has the best wed slinging scenes
1:25 hey man if it makes you feel any better, The Batman (2021) is gonna be a movie that’s all about Bruce’s trauma.
I love the first Amazing Spider-Man movie, and I was really excited for the second one, but that movie ruined TASM franchise by trying to do way too much. It infuriates me to see all that wasted potential, but then again when I see where they were ultimately trying to go with it I'm kind of glad they screwed it up. Some of their plans for the future were just bonkers. I also hated Peter's obsession with what happened to his parents, and their ties to Oscorp and his father ultimately being the one to breed the spiders using his own DNA, meaning Peter was the only one who even could have been Spider-Man. It's just so stupid. I like it as a completely random event, and in a way it still was in the first movie, but by adding the involvement of Richard Parker it just created a convoluted mess.
I didn’t hate the amazing Spider-Man films. They weren’t bad.
The original had the best Peter Parker, the amazing Spider-Man has the best Spider-Man.
U would think that the mcu Spider-Man is in the middle, (great Peter Parker and Spider-Man) but it isn’t. Tom Holland plays the role completely different to how the character has ever been portrayed. He is a child in a big world. That’s his main thing. The next iron man, that’s his purpose within the mcu.
I like this version of Spider-Man the most, but I also like the amazing Spider-Man version, cocky, jokes a lot. But I also like the originals version, where he’s emotional, confused, nerdy.
All three are great in their own ways 😁
Me- Watching this video and being entertained...*reaches 6:03 in the video*
Ad- Allow me to introduce myself
After Spider Verse, the true best Spider Man is......
Wait for it....
Keep scrolling
Spider Noire. Change my fucking mind
If they would’ve kept some of the deleted scene of the lizard I think this film could’ve been way better imo
"Discovering an ambition"--beautiful~!~ Loving Gwen & being a hero are the two sides of his own ambition~*
He lives up to his parents best intentions...
I would definitely argue New York is characterized even more in Raimi.
I get the same sense of creative compromise due to the legal side of things that you see in TASM, in the MCU Spider-Man films. These movies feel like a desperate attempt from 2 radically different studios attempting to create to most widely marketable version of Spider-Man possible, all the while navigating through a legal landmine trying to not piss the other one off. It ends of feeling (to me anyways) like the most safe and sanitized version of Spider-Man humanly possible. It’s not daring, it’s not taking any risks or challenge its audience.
Honestly this intro music is a friggen bop!
Pretentious: makes a video on intertextuality
Me: French cinema class introduces the same idea with Breathless by Jean Luc Godard.
TASM 1 is criminally underrated. The acting, the character interaction, the Spider-Man physics, the emotion, are all at their best in this film and haven't been topped by Tom's incarnation yet. It's not even close.Tom has been in more films and has had more screen time then all of the Spider-Men...but holds none of the heart or emotion that the OG trilogy had, the duology had, the Spider-Man PS4 game had, and even Spiderman Into The Spiderverse ...which...sucks...
Thank you for this one, you cleared one thing that was bugging me, why peter broke his promise, you connected everything, thanks, in conclusion he is the most relatable spider-man
I had never realised that this uncle Ben sounds a lot like Otacon from mgs
i look forward to the video you make when all three live-action spider-men come together. 👍
I liked The Amazing Spiderman from when I first saw it in 2012. I thought it really good. So different from Sam Raimi's Spiderman 1. The tone is more serrious, the style too. I liked(and still do) Andrew Garfield. I see him as Peter Paker/Spiderman more than Tobey Maguire. To me, the Raimi original has too much goofy/campy moments with Norman Osborn's Green Goblin, and I never liked Willem Defoe as Osborn. I also didn't like James Franco's Harrry Osborn. He didn't need to be in it, until Peter got to college(when they met in the main 616 conituity) Whereas Andrew Garfield's Peter doesn't have a best friend to rely on and hang out with. He's a loner,(as in the 616 continuity) and doesn't really know how to talk to girls. Then he meets Gwen. He's different arround her. He fianlly connected with a girl.He has these new spider powers he wants ton use to catch criminals beacuse ben got shot by criminal. It wasn't like in the comic where it was buglar who there to steal Ben and May's stuff, but Peter feels repsponsible. I always like this version of Spiderman more. I don't the like MCU Spiderman. Nothing against Tom Holland, even though he's far younger than Maguire and Garfield to play a teen, its the writing and tone of Homecoming and Far From Home that I didn't care for. I dont' care Sony wanted ASM made to hold on the rights, it's my favorite Spiderman movie, right beside The Amazing Spiderman 2.
I prefer Tony Revolri's Flash because it's so funny hearing him say how much he loves Spider man then after he says something like it he insults Peter. He feels more like the comics plus for the first time in film you know Flash has a rough life outside of school because his parents do really pay attention to him as you see in far from home when they came back flash's driver came. Feels more realistic to me. But that's just me.
This dude reads a whole dictionary to write his scripts
i think ppl would actually love TASM if they had the suit from TASM2
Great video! Your essays are amazing!
That's incredibly flattering of you, thank you! 😊
I forgot about watching this channel and last time I was hovering over some video essay, there was the "Implicitly pretentious viewers also watch this channel" prompt over it, legit thought UA-cam was calling me out lol.
Raimi and webb's spiderman was great in their own respective way. The way raimi focuses more of peter parker character development to be more relatable and human and gave us more of life lesson like how aunt may and uncle ben taught him while on webb's spidey was more of how they connect each, the way spidey quips just to vent out his anger and sadness and fear when he wears mask, those to spider-man movies has the emotional weight gave us to emphatized the character. And that's mcu spiderman lost it. Mcu spiderman crack cheesy joke every goddamn time just to please younger audience, the movie had no meaning, the homecoming was decent but the far from home was messy and this one was far worst than TASM2.
Spider-man always has cheesy jokes what how is that a negitive its apart of the character
Some might disagree but I like the fact that this version of Peter didn’t immediately become Spider-Man after Ben died and was driven by revenge.
I was actually looking forward to seeing more footage of foreign Spidermen. :(
The Amazing Spider-Man has one problem that stands out to me. There's not that much Relatability.
Amazing spiderman is better than homecoming spiderman in my opinion
You say Webb's Parker is not like Homecoming in that he isn't "a good kid who needs to recognize it," because… he has a "natural, primal goodness waiting to be released." How is that different?
LEMINO? IS THAT YOU?
The Amazing Spider-Man was the best
Ok so where's the video essay dissecting Italian Spider-Man then?
I’ve always found Peter’s “where is he" breakdown after the responsibility speech to be kind of off putting. It’s like he’s angry at his father for dying (or so we thought) even though it was through no fault of his own.
It’s true to the character though. In the comics young Peter is a very, very angry person. Comic book Peter is almost like a failed villain. He was heading down a very dark path before Uncle Ben died and even years after he’s a very scary person when he’s mad. I love MCU Spidey, but if I have one critique it’s that he’s too nice. Peter always has a mean streak that undercuts his surface personality.
I’ve always believed that he was angry because, from his perspective, his father chose to abandon him. It wasn’t about Richard dying; it was about Richard choosing to live a life away from Peter. Peter’s last interactions with his dad were attempts to convince Richard to take him with them.
Honestly though it is natural to act as if there is something to blame when you lose someone to causes beyond control, as you feel very heavily frustrated without being able to do much about it
This is my fav version of spidey even though not many agreed with me.
I clicked on this because your channel name is gold.
Made me like this movie a little more!
They wasted andrew garfield. They should have done the clone saga...imagine andtew garfeild as ben reily and kaine.....🤘😔
the amazing spider man > raimi trilogy
Raimi's Peter is a nice guy who by a moment ( you may say understandably) behaves like a jerk.
Web's Peter is a jerk who keeps behaving like a jerk, he never learns that the same thief he didn't stopped was the one who killed his uncle (making the whole thing useless), becomes Spiderman to get revenge and starts acting like a hero just because the plot says so.
lacrarte zorok not because the plot says so, in the bridge scene where peter tries to stop the lizard (since he feels guilty releasing a giant man lizard to NYC) he sees cars with people inside getting thrown and a father yelling my sons in there. Watch that scene again. The sentence "I'm Spider-Man" is delivered perfectly by Andrew and that's when he realised what Uncle Ben told him
Here's my best character chart
Best uncle Ben- Original Film
Best aunt may- Original Film
Best Mary jane- None
Best Gwen Stacy- Amazing Spiderman
Best Flash Thompson- Amazing Spiderman
Best Harry Osborn- Original
Best *Spiderman* -Amazing Spiderman
Best *Peter Parker* -Original Film
You can tell im not a fan of the MCU'S version
