    Dude, I think I found the world's truest and most dedicated Spider-Man 3. I can tell you make your content on a low to none budget, but you have heart, creativity, and like you said, passion.
    I guess I'm in the majority who prefers Spider-Man 2, but I do believe Spider-Man 3 is overhated. I'm just glad to see someone express this much love and care for Spider-Man 3.
    Like I said, I prefer SM2, but SM3 really deserves its fans. I was thoroughly satisfied and impressed with this. You are on the right track. Keep making content like this, and you'll catch on.

    There are two times in my childhood where a marketing campaign was specifically enjoyable to me. Usually marketing is whatever, but I’m genuinely super nostalgic for everything around Spider-Man 3. Though I prefer 2, I do think 3 is an underrated banger. But seeing the black suit everywhere I went was so cool. The only other marketing campaign that made me feel this way was Revenge of the Sith.

      @@MetalCheeseDeathAttack I wasn't alive for 1, my memory formed just after 2, so 3 was my gateway. The only marketing campaign that came close was for 2012 TASM, but I don't hold that one so dearly for obvious and not-so-obvious reasons.

      when i came out of seeing spiderman 2 i was 7 years old, and i remember that i came out too excited and completely in love with the character, and when i came out of seeing spiderman 3 it was the opposite, i'm sorry but i don't think SM3 was underrated, it had everything to be the best... and it failed.

      I was 10! It actually came out on my 10th birthday and my Grandma took me to the drive-in to see it! Unfortunately, it was really late so I fell asleep for a lot of it. Don't remember too much outside of that because it was so long ago, but I do remember the drive-in was PACKED. There were even people who lived near it who got to see it for free by taking advantage of the location.

    I was too young to fully remember SM3 back in the day only remembering seeing ads for it and toys too. But I feel like the overwhelming marketing was too overhyped that it made people completely turn on it once it came out.
    Even if people liked it they were overshadowed by the insufferable amount of hate that SM3 got afterwards. If the marketing wasnt so aggressive things might of played out differently.
    I love SM3 and I'm happy it's now gotten the love that it deserves. Even if I wasn’t there at the time to get into it because I was too young at the time to see it. I can appreciate it so much now as a adult and see what the movie was trying to tell going into it blind and making my own opinions of it without any previous knowledge about it.

    I'm a year late on this vid but I too was completely engaged in the Spider-Man 3 marketing. TL:DR, I indulge in my childhood.
    I already loved Spider-Man from the first two movies on Full screen DVD & the cartoons comics available at the time. I'm pretty sure I first noticed the moody teaser poster when I looked up Spider-Man 3 one day on Google's I'm feeling Lucky tab. (I certainly don't use that feature anymore) & later on the equally moody teaser trailer right on my grandparents computer! (Does anyone download trailers anymore?) I was a happy kid. From there I'd journey on some fansites, not actually reading anything but admiring the promotional material wherever, like the Spidey chest posters. ❤❤❤ (One of these fansites was where I first saw the leaked Comic Con trailer with the scary Venom jump scare) l loved the trailers with the epic choir music but I also loved the trailers for the video game which were equally hype. (The game itself thou...) The main website was very atmospheric. Plus the Hasbro Kids website with the Flash games was my YT before YT & also where I saw that funny *THIS SATURDAY* commercial. (Really spoiled me cuz promotional websites started to dwindle during the 2010's 😞) I also indulged in Spider-Man 3 fan trailers which were my first exposure to UA-cam & my crippling addiction to it ever since! (Thank gosh I was only 6 & didn't read the comments cuz I might've had a different outlook back then 🤔) Commercials were everywhere on YTV & comic books. (YTV might as well have been TV for me) For the toys I had the New Goblin & black suit + a suit up Tobey & Sandman (I got a large Venom toy after the movie I think) I even got the Mega Bloks builds after the film came out & wore the black suit for Halloween. (No I didn't replicate the dance scene. It wasn't a meme yet) Walking down the Spider-Man 3 section at Toys R Us was a delight.
    I couldn't believe it when the movie came out. Saw the film that Friday (I don't remember who I watched it with...) AAAANNNNDDD...I liked it.
    I saw it twice in theaters & watched it just as much as the first two on DVD. (no special features disc thou 😥) I kinda forgot about the marketing afterwards (As I assume you were supposed to 😆) I wasn't aware of the discourse until I watched Nostalgia Critic's top 11 stupid Spider-Man moments of all things. & watching videos from CinemaSins & other UA-camrs alike. I wasn't prepared for the internet to shape my own views of movies & games. A pretty gullible trait in hindsight. Later on after the TASM hype, I started thinking about the trailers & how the choir music gave off a very different & darker vibe compared to the film itself. (Admittingly Christopher Young's soundtrack also played a part in that) It got me thinking about how different films & trailers used to be.
    Ever since though I've come back to loving the film on it's own merits, & fondly remembering the marketing campaign as well. (& I don't watch Nostalgia Critic or CinemaSins anymore haha)

    But the the raw hype behind NWH was bigger, without a doubt.
    But yea Movies like Batman 89, 02 & 07 Spidey will always have the most insane marketing.

      Don’t forget how huge the marketing for The Dark Knight,The first iron man film,the Incredible Hulk,transformers 07,Superman returns,Star Wars Episode 3: revenge of the sith,Shrek the third,and other films that came out in that era are

      @ every film’s marketing from that era wasn’t as big as Spider-Man/89,
      ROTS & Transformers yea sure. Though Transformers hype/merch/Ads alone mainly grew after the movie released. I just remember people being enthusiastic on seeing it. I will say once the movie released the hype might’ve eclipsed Spider-Man 3 lol. But it’s marketing before hand was not on Spidey or 89’s lvl.
      Nolan’s movies had a UNQIUE marketing strategy for fans to unlock hints/trailers in a detective scavenger hunt kinda way, but the Dark knight wasn’t borderline everywhere before the movie released. & there was controversy anyway because of Heath Ledger, which of course aged poorly.

    Still love how Spider-Mania was at such an all-time high around the SM3 era that Sony even gave its next PlayStation the same look... and honestly it goes kinda hard despite how much nicer looking the subsequent rebrand from 2009 onward is
    The PS3 ITSELF is a Spider-Man 3 tie in

      As a kid I always wondered why the PS3 had ripped Spider-Man 3 logo but now I know it was all a marketing stunt that lasted longer after Spider-Man 3's promotion already ended.

    This is a great video considering this among many other videos covering the spiderman 3 nostalgia trip as a whole, its very nostalgic lol for me as it feels like yesterday being a kid from 06 - 08 witnessing this movie everywhere, unfortunately i only got minimal merch now, I wanted to ask as im new to the channel which video was it that you described the death of Eddie Brock toy, that whole topic of Venom is interesting from the film ofc!

      @OneAtFaultMedia I lightly touch on it in my first Christmas special, ooze video, and possibly the deleted scene discussion and Eddie Brock analysis. It's been a while since I revisited my old video, so I might be missing some, but check out the Deleted Scene discussion reupload and Slime Time.
