When you said not every spider man movie needs to be Spider-Man 2 and and to be a true Spiderman fan you don't have to like one specific interpretation you earned my respect and attention to watch your video all the way through.
More like all of the power, none of the responsibility, and oh look at these teenagers acting like 12 year olds, aren't they so adorable??? Quick, let's add a joke about how hot Aunt May is, also add some Iron Man nostalgia scenes, and throw in a JJJ cameo who somehow feels like Alex Jones.
Enzo Dapan he is still a pet by tony stark that’s the problem, he is treated like a brat who cannot do anything right and when he does something right he gets a new suit, I swear he is treated like a dog, if your blind to that’s fact he is like ultimate then your the one being foolish
Sucks that peter went to "If May freaks out I freak out. I can't tell her, she wont let me do this anymore" to high fiving her with his mask off. It's like we get a new character every movie.
@@dylanoshea5065 they care. However the whole aunt may progression were treated like a science journal summaries, through pointer and dots. Instead of letting us see the progress and hear aunt may side's on Peter hero act, while also letting aunt May grow as a character by letting Peter to choose his own heroic path, they just skipped it.
I feel like the biggest issue is that the supporting characters are mostly there for comedic purposes. What made the Raimi series so good was that every single character was super developed, even MJ. The interactions between all these characters is what created the drama. Also I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the fact that in Far From Home when Peter was stuck in the Netherlands during his lowest point, all he had to do was make a phone call to Happy. He had to make a SINGLE PHONE CALL to get out of the situation he was in. It would have been much better to have him get out of that situation himself and see him develop into the real hero he's supposed to be
exactly, a single phone call, a new suit, staying in 5 star hotels across Europe this version of spider-man seems to have more of an easy life then any other version of spider-man ive seen so far, what a joke
091MW2 “What made the Raimi series so good was that every single character was super developed,” That’s not even sort of true. You’re not even trying to be intellectually honest here. “The interactions between all these characters is what created the drama.” That’s literally the case in Far From Home and Homecoming as well. “Also I’m surprised that no one mentioned the fact that in Far From Home when Peter was stuck in the Netherlands during his lowest point, all he had to do was make a phone call to Happy.” Ok. ... I’m waiting for you to explain why this is an issue.
091MW2 “It would have been much better to have him get out of the situation himself and see him develop into the real hero he’s supposed to be” That’s literally what we DID see, you lying dumb-ass. Like, he explicitly develops into the hero he’s supposed to be. Watch the damn movie
this Bubbly Goodness “exactly,” Exactly nothing. Both of you are yet to explain the alleged “issue.” “a single phone call,” Which wasn’t wasn’t even on his own phone. He literally had to borrow it from a stranger. Also, you know that Peter being somewhere else doesn’t make Happy cease to exist or Peter forget numbers, right? RIGHT? “a new suit,” One that HE MADE. Way to leave that out. “staying in 5 star hotels across Europe” What? If you’re talking about Civil War, that’s more than seven years prior. And if you’re talking about Far From Home, that happens a grand total of ONCE. Not “across Europe.” And that was only because Fury interfered. “this version of spider-man seems to have more of an easy life than any other version of spider-man ive seen so far” And clearly none of those versions you’ve seen so far includes the MCU version, because he has the furthest thing from an easy life. You’d have to not be watching to movies to miss this fact. “what a joke” I agree. You’re pathetically bad lies are a joke. You didn’t even pretend you’ve watched these movies.
@@YoDogJC-1 We do but it's because it kinda spits in the face of what made the character. He doesn't have any problems outside of trying to be Tony Jr. Because of that he's definitely the easiest to like but it kinda takes away from what made him great.
@YoDog JC of course fans do because it has factual proof behind it mcu Spider-Man is the worst live action when it comes to what makes the true character of Peter Parker and Spider-Man.
@@YoDogJC-1 Of course we do, as fans of Spider-Man, not necessarily Raimi it's just a shitty version. If you want other good versions look at the PS4, TAS, Spectacular, comic book versions etc. MCU Spider-Man is basically Iron Man Jr. It's ok to enjoy them as silly comedy movies i guess but they are certainly the worst Spider-Man adaptations. Even the most recent shitty cartoons of him adapted him more properly.
i feel really weird, but for some reason when he gave the example of the other two aunt mays before Marisa Tomei I got kind of emotional... there is something so touching about the relationship of Peter and his aunt that the new movies really miss...
@@moonisusman4072 The relationship between them barely exists. Whenever I think of Aunt May I think of a relative of Spider-Man that he goes to for advice and when he’s struggling. Here, he just holds it all in, and never talks about it, Tobey held it in too but he eventually overcame his struggles, Tom ignores it.
There’s stuff omitted from sally field’s aunt may that makes me cry when i see it in full. She was there for him and raised him since his father, who he’s so obsessed with, abandoned him. After she says she doesn’t know how to manage without ben, she tells peter that he’s her son, her and ben’s kid.
@@elmuchacho3379 not going to lie the scene when she is choking up and calling Peter her boy made me tear up cause she is such a good actress I actually felt so bad
Dude, you apologize too much for the unnecessary stuff. It's your opinion and your analysis. And any analysis which is supported by good arguments and points will be accepted by others. I agree with you btw
@Mr. Soul No, it's an opinion. He literally says so in the video multiple times because he knows it. He appreciates that people can have different, valid opinions liking and disliking this movie.
I personally agree with Hi Top . When I learned about how much people kept liking mcu Spider-Man, I decided to check it out. I watched civil war,and liked him in that movie sooo I decided to watch homecoming .After watching it, I had a weird feeling ,I couldn't feel the charm of Spider-Man, my first ever introduction to the character was Spectacular Spider-Man, I didn't see Spider-Man,I saw Tom holland dressed as Spider-Man. I watched videos of people having problems with the MCU incarnation. I saw the gameplay/story mode of insomniacs Spider-Man and I new what the MCU was missing. A lot of MCU fanboys say tobey was a good Peter Parker because he was nerdy,andrew was the best Spider-Man because humour ,and Tom holland is both a he is nerdy and humour. Which makes him the best . Which I completely disagree with .Spider-Man isn't 2dimensional . There is more to him than nerdiness and humour,Hi Top said it perfectly .Tom holland himself called his Spider-Man iron man jr. Again everyone has there own opinion but I hate when these MCU fanboys bash others just because they think he is the best. The reason they think he is the best is far from the true character of Spider-Man Have a nice day
It's rare to see people who genuinely understand Spider-Man to that point, and understand what truly makes him special beyond the fact he's just a teenage superhero. He's THE teenage superhero. The quintessential coming of age story, not just in the superhero medium, but quite honestly in most modern pop culture in general. I loved this video.
@@somethingabstractiguess Because there's an inherent difference between skipping the coming of age story and repeating it ad-nauseam 3 movies in a row without letting the character move forward in the slightest. No? Homecoming is about Peter learning the meaning of responsibility by not relying on Stark's suit and about finding his place as a small time hero. He learns that with his abilities, he has the unique power to make a meaningful difference and stop someone bad (Vulture) from making the world a worse place, and he can't rely on others (Tony) to fix his messes. He is left to his own devices and becomes his own hero. FFH is about Peter learning the meaning of responsibility (his actions having severe consequences and almost getting him and his entire class killed multiple times) and stepping out of Iron Man's shadow (whatever that's supposed to mean for Spidey I guess?) He learns that with his abilities, he has the unique power to make a meaningful difference and stop someone bad (Mysterio) from making the world a worse place, and he can't rely on others (Fury) to fix his messes. He is left to his own devices and becomes his own hero. NWH, (spoiler alert obv) is about Peter LEARNING THE MEANING OF RESPONSIBILITY IN THE FACT HE IS THE REASON THE VILLAINS ARE ON THE LOOSE AND HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN STOP THEM. This time, the consequences come to pass and his aunt pays the price. He learns that with his abilities, he has the unique power to make a meaningful difference and stop some bad guys from making the world a worse place, and he can't rely on others (Strange) to fix his messes. He is left to his own devices (sorta) and becomes his own hero. Seriously. All three of these fucking movies went in a great big circle and pretty much put us where a lot of us assumed the character was after Civil War: A young Peter who's already gone through his origin story, and has a new suit and is ready to face the world. The only reason people are distracted from this fact is because they cram those movies full of MCU lore and fanwank and the last one went full on to bring in previous actors to wow everyone into forgetting this is now the third time Peter has pretty much been a stupid kid who didn't learn the lessons we thought he already was well past the point of knowing.
@@Slimshadow457 No, the reason people are "distracted from this fact" is because it's not true. You can boil pretty much every Spider-Man story to "Peter once again learns that with great power comes great responsibility." But that fails to capture the nuance and meaning from each film. This whole trilogy is about Peter learning to be Spider-Man with a smaller and smaller safety net around him. In Homecoming, Peter proves that he doesn't need Stark's direct help to be his own small time hero. In Far From Home, he learns that he not only has a responsibility to larger threats but that he can and should face them without any other heroes providing him a safety net. Stark being dead (FFH) and just not in the final fight (Homecoming) are quite different if you actually think about it from Peter's perspective. No Way Home is about Peter learning that his loved ones can actually get hurt from his irresponsibility, so he chooses to be COMPLETELY ALONE rather than risk their safety. At the end of No Way Home, he truly feels like a grown-up Spider-Man who knows the meaning of his responsibility...and that's exactly what the trilogy was aiming to do. Bring Peter from a naive high schooler to a mature Spider-Man.
Giving it to Harley Keener is still a lot better choice than Peter Parker because he’s into mechanics more than Peter, not to mention that he modified the suit ALONE while Peter needs Ned’s help.
@@shinndig1293 I completely agree. But my point was that at least homecoming had him getting out of Tony's shadow and being his own man but far from home retconed it and made his arc contradictory ,one scene ,Happy is telling him not to be like Tony and the other ,Peter's creating a suit and with ACDC in the background looking just like Tony
Personally for me, the fundemental flaw in 'Far From Home' is the overreliance in the the greater world of the MCU. I've never read the comic source and coming from someone who have seen Uncle Ben dying twice, I'm fine if they change the mythos a bit. But the film is always under some kind of shadow -- Iron Man. The villain is bent on revenge, the hero is trying to live up to him and the world is asking the hero to be like him. As you said, in 'Homecoming', Peter refused Tony's offer. And Vulture, though he had bitterness on Stark, his main motivation is to care for his family. This flaw isn't even exclusive to 'Far From Home'. It could be observed in all the "origin" standalone films since 'Ant-Man'.
Peter Frank well I mean, the villains hated Osborn for a similar reason in PS4. And I like Tony Stark way more and would rather have a villain hate him. It was down well in a Earths Mightiest Heroes as to why Wonder Man hated Tony Stark. On the other, Osborn is a jerk and responsible for so many people becoming villains in various adaptations and prospers and gets away with it.
I feel like that was the aim of the film. To bring Spidey out of the shadow of Tony and make him his own hero. I think this is a pretty good theme and idea for this version of Spidey, but I just feel it didn’t execute it well
This is something Shazam tackled very well, that I think Marvel can learn from. It felt different from any superhero movie I have ever seen, as it actually felt like... you know, a movie. Sure, there were nods and references to the other heroes in the universe, but they were background elements, realistically woven into the characters’ lives. The focus was on Shazam from beginning to end, with another hero only showing up in the post-credits scene as a joke. In Marvel movies, there are constant references to other events and heroes in the universe, and while it’s great for world-building, it makes it impossible for any hero to feel like their own hero.
@@ultimatehope549 you make it sound like one kind of choice is better than the other It's just a different approach. Marvel has always been more interconnected. And using the larger world informs Peter's journey in these movies
I really wished they would take a PTSD route with Far From Home, the dude "died" at the end of Infinity War. It would be cool to show how he's struggling because he feels responsible, but is also being crippled with anxiety, and that would justify his somewhat passiveness.
Thought it was just me. Everyone was telling me it was a great movie but I left the theater feeling empty. I couldn’t explain it just something was missing.
Another thing I love about the vulture is that him stealing the stuff has literally 0 affect on Tony. They are just scraps lying aroudn in his tower that he'll never use. Peter stopping vulture is not about helping Tony, but about not wanting weapons on the street that arguably wouldn't affect him. He chooses to change his motivation, and that is the msot active a character can be
You're right. That brand being heavily on Peter's youth and quirkiness. That is his marketable image that Marvel wants to focus on and keep. To change the character drastically is to change the brand image.
This is balls on a filmmaker, this is perfectly cheesy, perfectly acted, perfectly acted, perfectly edited. Everything about this scene is flawless, every film student needs to study why this scene works.
14:23 - 16:13 I honestly wish Peter school friend were fleshed out rather then being sideline for comic relief, because I can't remember a single thing about them consider the MCU Spider-Man suppose to be a "Teen Comedy Movie"
@@SpectacularSpiderFan please, as if we asked for 20 minutes worth of background story. We just need something to add his character depth. Outside of being Peter's BFF, likes Star Wars, and likes Betty, does Ned had anything else going on? No, because that's all he is meant to be according to the MCU: a comic relief. The problem is that you can apply this to any MCU Spidey cast as well, even to MJ, and then see the pattern.
Srikanth Ramprasad The symbiote is supposed to make him more irrational and selfish. Like in the spectacular spiderman cartoon tombstone pays him money to not go after criminals and he takes it because of the symbiote. It’s not supposed to turn him into a cringy weirdo who dances everywhere with a big ego. They made Tobey Maguire takes months of dancing lessons for his scenes.
@@tyy2387 He did the weirdest things before the symbiote got on him. Like that poetry thing from spiderman 2 and also his ego clashed with MJ many times as he kept talking about spiderman when she tells her problems. It actually makes sense for that version of Peter to be dancing like that.
Bro, I can't stand that creators feel the need to include a disclaimer any time they make a video criticizing ANY element of the MCU. Those fans must be the most hypersensitive lot in all of fandom, because no other franchise gets afforded this luxury.
MCU is more popular than most other franchises. Theres more fans and because of that more toxic ones. I am not that into the MCU but they arent a bad fandom
You act as if Hack Snyder and DCEU fanboys weren't cancer to society though. MCU fans can be stupid but there's a list of fandoms with more toxic people
@@alonsoarana5307 Nah, you don't have to go out of your way to apologize for any DCEU criticism beforehand, in fear of massive trolling and losing subs. Besides, this "if you bring up Marvel, I gotta bring up how worse DC fans are!" knee-jerk mindset sorta makes me think I'm on to something. Hardcore MCU fans remind me of Beyonce fans with the hive mindset, looking down at other fandoms because of the success of their own product, while at the same time lowkey exhibiting the worst traits that smaller fandoms of less successful properties exhibit out of jealousy . Hardcore MCU fans have no excuse. You've won. It's the most successful commercial enterprise in cinema history. Why should you care if others DARE to point out the flaws?
@@lacolem1 I think it goes both ways. Its very successful which gives a sense of pride for supporting it but also insecurity cuz we know that even though overall it has a meaningful story but not all mcu movies are meaningful. Again its not only mcu fans. Weirdly enough, from what I've read, seen and heard from commenters and friends, I've noticed that dc fans actually accept their universe's early flaws but Snyder fans get more angry even when his movies have legitimate flaws regardless of them being dc or normal movies( not saying he's a bad director or all his movies are bad but no one mcu, dc or anyone else is perfect).
Funny when DCEU fans or Snyderfans are considered Cancerous but weren't they the ones who donated for suicide prevention? Weren't MCU fans shit talking the little girl that played Ironman daughter? Hmmmm toxicity at its finest 👌
Even if it’s a movie late, I hope they finally tackle the fact that Stark shouldn’t really be Peter’s role model, and use it to finally address Uncle Ben.
I am a SPIDERMAN fan. Not an MCU fan. And as a SPIDERMAN fan, the MCU "spidey" is a disappointment. They needed to let peter/spiderman be his own thing before rushing into the MCU. They needed to give him time to grow and evolve instead of shoving him into places hes not ready for yet. We needed atleast 2 films centered on spiderman and HIS universe WITHOUT the larger Mcu interference. I like tom as spiderman. But what they did with the character i am NOT a fan of. Spiderman 2002 and spiderman 2 are still FAR superior films.
Eh idk if there really superior i just watched them both too reevaluate my opinion on the but tbh i like both about the same with spiderman 2 being a lil bit above them and homecoming not being too far behind imo
Spider-Man 1 and 2 will always be superior films because Raimi wanted to make a Spider-Man movie. He cares for the character and properly understands him as well. Him and his crew put in all their love and soul into SM1 and 2. That's why those movies will stand the test of time as two of the best Spider-Man movies of all time. I have no fucking clue what Jon Watts is trying to do. He's said that he doesn't have any experience with Spider-Man comics. Makes sense why he had two chances and still can't make a proper Spider-Man movie. Makes me appreciate the TASM movies a little more tbh
Well I don't think that he HAD to have 2 solo films. Admittedly considering that your complaint is that he needs more growth a solo film could help as it would obviously give more focus, but it's not an inherent truth and acting as such is kind of silly
I'm Actually a SPIDER-MAN Fan More than than a Marvel Diehard Fan and I'm sad that Peter Parker became like an Iron Man Jr. Spider Man is Supposed to be his OWN Hero, Not some Sidekick, Not the Next Iron Man. and Hopefully the Next MCU Spider-Man Trilogy will Focus on Peter Being his OWN Hero instead of an Iron Man Jr. And should be Focusing on His Responsibility. I Grew up with Spider Man 2002, and Spider-Man 2 and I still think they're One of the Best Comic Book Superhero Movies to Ever Match up with the Dark Knight.
They are soo obsessed with doing high school type comedies. At this point considering how they handled aunt may figuring out peter is Spider-Man; I don’t really care since they are probably going to turn it onto a joke
@@ThePrinceofHisOwnKingdom the thing is though, there's high school comedies and then there's spiderman, and i just dont think spiderman is meant to be a highschool comedy
@@ThePrinceofHisOwnKingdom i was gonna suggest that they could do a caricature TV kids show where nothing is taken too seriously, but then i remember they also did Marvel's Spider-Man (The TV series) and realize that they suck at that too, so im all out of ideas
Jovany Marquez “They are so obsessed with doing high school type comedies.” It’s almost like Peter is in high school, dumb-ass. Also, last I checked, ding something a grand total of twice is not being obsessed.
“Far from home avoids Ben Parker like I avoid Far From Home” - HiTop This is by far the most iconic line I’ve heard from him because it makes so much sense💀
I hated that, though they made MJ an introverted character who is more than just a pretty face, they turned Aunt May into some weird sexual fantasy object. Literally in theaters, this guy sitting near me revealed a little too much about himself as the camera panned over Marisa Tomei’s ass. It’s fucked up and I hate that this film did that.
The reason they couldn’t use Flash as a romantic rival is because they’ve taken away everything that made him a more obvious choice than Peter. It’s not that we can’t entertain the possibility of him actually winning, we can’t entertain the thought that MJ would even think of dating this guy. In the comics, he’s not really that intelligent, but he’s cool, strong, good looking and popular. Hell, the guy even goes on to realize how ridiculous he was in school and becomes a war hero, proving that even someone like him can use his natural leadership and physical skills for a better and more respectable reason other than picking on nerds. The “great power=great responsibility” lesson is something he learns to abide by, without super powers, and ironically from Spider-Man, whom he admires while picking on Peter. In the MCU, he’s less good looking than Peter, skinnier, shorter, less intelligent and less popular. He doesn’t seem to have much more than dad’s money going for him, and we even see his father is absent. Brad at least seems like a charismatic good looking dude you could believe could actually steal Peter’s girl. Flash is the school’s punching bag, everyone makes fun of him, nobody respects him. Even in a crisis, in the comics, you could see Flash’s natural leading skills kicking in gear, trying to help his peers out of situations until Spider-Man showed up, sometimes even attempts to fight super villains, despite his lack of powers. The one in the MCU just cowers in fear until he’s saved. He’s too dumb for the nerds, and too physically and socially unimpressive for the jocks and the cool kids, so he’s even more of an outcast than Peter in these movies, who at least belongs somewhere, socially speaking.
@@Saint0999 You kidding? He’s the punchline of every joke from every student. Even the stereotypical nerdy Asian kid is sassing him without a worry. He’s less popular because the majority of the population are as nerdy if not a lot more than Peter, so someone like Flash there is even more of an outsider.
This is what i've been trying to explain to my friends, they're just messing around with the character without being written properly and the plot action just felt cheesy. Thanks for the video mate
Zed I also chuckled a bit, it caught me off guard. Just because u didnt find it funny doesn't mean it's not a funny joke. Like ur comment, I didn't find anything funny in ur comment but u put a laugh out loud (lol) there.
In addition, this Spider-man also overused the "hero weak at beginning, then hero strong in the end". With that said, I hope that this is not the Spider-man we'll see in Venom 2.
I feel so sorry for HiTop films. He received so many insults and death threats in his far from home video all because he said he didn't like it. People are so pathetic nowadays. I mean it's been 2000 years since Jesus died and we're still acting like cavemen.
Yeah. Apparently, not liking every other live action Spidey now makes you a Raimi fanboy. It's hard to believe people use that as an argument and kind of just.... complain while at the same time making no sense.
Even his own comment sections' top comments are making fun of him. Not saying that's a bad thing inherently, but damn. I could hardly find anyone agreeing with him or even acknowledging his good points.
I feel like Far From Home's central plot point is how the responsibility of being a hero is crushing Peter, especially in this new paradigm of Spider-Man plus the fallout from Endgame. In Homecoming, Peter is blissful in his ignorance of what true responsibility is. He thinks he wants to be an Avenger, be a hero, but doesn't understand what that means. It's only when he is presented with the immediate threat of the Vulture and has to leave his date to pursue his responsibility that he begins to understand. It's the classic Spider-man internal conflict of responsibility taking precedence over his own life. Far From Home is the natural progression of a character who is now weary and, when you think about it, a war veteran. He has seen what his responsibility really is and is understandably afraid. He's not actually a passive character, he makes the choice to avoid conflict and responsibility but other characters won't accept that. May packing his suit, Fury forcing him to help, Spider-man is dragged into conflict kicking and screaming. That's not passive. The emotional height of the film comes when Spider-man breaks down with Happy. Happy makes it clear that this responsibility wasn't easy for Tony either. It's okay to be scared, it's okay to make mistakes. This lesson, hard learned though it is, changes Peter in the climatic final sequence. He is still human, afraid of failure, of making mistakes, but now he understands that his responsibility supersedes that fear. He's known this since Civil War but was never truly tested until now. I would argue that by the end of Far From Home we actually have the best on screen representation of Spider-man. Firm in his belief that with great power comes great responsibility and now with the actual gumption and confidence to stay true to that.
Nah man that ain't true ya see, because "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility" isn't being shoved in my face a million time, it's clear that Jon Watts and co don't understand Spider Man as a character. What are themes?
As an MCU stan, and especially as an Iron Man stan, I really dislike what FFH did with Tony's character arc. Both IM2 and HoCo already had villains that were based on Tony's shortcomings, and FFH includes as one of the "villains"...the guy that Stane yelled at? So that was already overused, but more than that, I hate what they did to Tony's legacy, especially after what he said in IM1 that he "had more to offer the world than things that blow up"....so he gives Peter Edith? Even if they wanted to touch on Tony's legacy, there's a pretty clear parallel to be made now about how Pepper and Morgan relate to May and Peter, because making the movie more intimate would have made it a lot better.
Talking as someone who grew up with Raimi and appreciates the MCU take on it I'd rather have Browntable and even HiTop in the discourse than most of the people I see in the fandom The superhero community can be very ignorant and toxic, having these two simply presenting views I do not agree with isn't really much of a problem
While i like Far from Home and its probably one of my favorite Spider-man films, i do at least appreciate that Browntable judged this movie as a film and not just complaining about Far from Home being inaccurate to the source material or not being like the Raimi films as a reason for why they feel the movie is bad and he does bring up legitimate flaws with the movie that i do agree with.
I think the problem I have with some mcu movies is that they don't work well as standalone pieces, they're made to build up for something bigger. If you read a random chapter of a book or watch an episode of a show out of context, you're not gonna enjoy it because it is not the way it's meant to be consumed, and I don't think that should be the case for movies as well.
The marvel movies follow a formula and look and feel the same thats why i dont watch those movies, other than Spiderman. I am very dissapointed with how they have handled spiderman as a hardcore Spidey fan. After TASM 2 dissapointment i was upset Garfield dropped out and i was so stocked for the mcu Spiderman but here we are.
agreed, i think the fact that the spider-man movies have to rely on this whole bigger cinematic universe really affects them and not in a good way. i've always seen spider-man as a standalone piece and i'm really not a fan of how much they're tied to the mcu and iron man as a character in particular
I feel like MJ does still tie into the plot of Far From Home, because Peter's desire to be with her conflicts with his obligation to Fury and influences his decision to give Mysterio Stark's glasses. It's structured a lot differently than homecoming obviously, but I think both movies are still compelling, albeit in separate ways.
Yes but this would have worked better if we gave MJ and Peter a real friendship that felt genuine and good instead of just a crush if we felt like Peter wanted to take the next step and get out of the friend zone and maybe be helping MJ through something difficult like let’s say her mom died from collateral damage during the snap and she’s a bit depressed that would be great and having peter want to be there for his friends would be much more compelling have being Spider-Man become something exhausting something so hard to bear so awful always fighting and Peter can’t take it anymore that would have been much better and would have made this movie 10x better But they decided they would rather have a funny road trip movie You can still have drama and comedy honestly but if they had put a few of these plot points in this would have made the film way better
@@zandyman2577 exactly she should've gotten more scenes in homecoming to develop her as a possible love interest and show us how she actually struggles with getting close to people like she says they also deleted a scene where may and peter pick her up because her dad didn't after the washington monuement incident that would've been so cool giving us a friendship to buildup on and giving us a reason to care and also showing how mj might have a negligent family that doesn't discuss their feelings which makes her less social and gives us reason to why she has struggle with getting close to people love mj in no way home but she would've been amazing if she was given depth like gwen in tasm or even mj in tobey's films she may be annoying but she's an actual character rather than an object for peter to win over
Why is it that whenever Alex speaks, every word that comes out of his mouth is so filled with passion and heart and intelligence. I am a (well you can see my name) and I while I do love Spider- man I don't have as much of a passion as others do for him but I completely support Alex and the people who dislike MCU Spider- man. I like tom holland as a actor and in the role and especially in civil war. But what they did to him is like if in Matt reeves batman 2021 they had Bruce not be influenced by his parents death. Anyway everyone is entitled to their opinion and there should only be civil discussion about these things Great video guys :-) edit: i know that matt reeves and pattinson are going to be faithful to the character and the waynes lagacy, that was only an example. My point is that neglecting the core of what makes a character like batman or spider-man who they are in a mainstream version of the character is wrong. i don't need to see ben get shot or the waynes get killed but to not reference them in any capacity is absurd. like i said i like holland as spidey and i liked the scene in civil war but i get completely what people like alex, mauricio and others are saying. No matter what everyone is entitled to their opinion and dont attack someone if you dont like theirs. :-)
@@batmanfan6207 he actually said he would address it but he wouldn't go full depth on it they're not going to do what homecoming did by ignoring Uncle Ben completely.
What? I was just using it as an example, like I said I have faith in Matt reeves and pattinson that they will deliver a faithful and good adaptation of batman
People have different opinions on Spider-man whether it be favorite movie or a favorite actor, but we can all agree that he's a great character that's affected us in different ways, so we shouldn't hate those who don't agree with a certain interpretation of the character, because they at least love one interpretation of Spider-man.
People want the more accurate or better the best version of the character. Fundamentally the MCU got it wrong after Homecoming because they actually did a good job establishing his character in Civil War.
The best way they could’ve avoided the Iron Boy Jr thing would be to make Steve Rogers way more important to Spider-Man. His ideals align much better with Peter anyway and it would be a great way for Peter to see Tony’s flaws.
bro that concept where his spider sense starts tingling before something even happens is LITERALLY depicted in no way home wtf, it was when peter sensed something was up with norman in the condo scene
I really like your story for Flash. Following that momentum, in the next movie, when Spidey's identity is revealed, Flash would at first be skeptical for effect. But eventually learn that even the weakest people can be strong and anybody can be a hero. This is what inspires him to stand up to his parents and refuses to do what they plan for him. Instead, he becomes his own hero and joins the military
I love the movie as a whole, but the scene with Brad and the Shield agent along with the bus scene felt kinda gross and didn’t really fit with the movie
It feels kinda gross. Especially the scene where the adult shield agent was telling him to take off his clothes. People would have been pissed if that was a grown man telling that to a teenage girl
Marvel always tries to shoehorn in scenes of their jacked actors without shirts, it just felt really weird this time since he’s supposed to be 16 and someone is making him strip down
I don’t think Happy was saying not to be like Tony stark but rather that it’s okay to mess up because even tony stark did. Being a hero doesn’t mean being perfect. But everything else I agree with.
Honestly, the fact that HiTop still thinks the movie is about Peter becoming the "next iron man" says a lot to how little attention he paid or how biased he was going in, when the movies whole third act is about how Peter isnt iron man, hes spider man
I agree that's what the movie was going for but it kinda fumbles it when the only people who seriously call him out on the mistakes he made are the bad guys. I wish it had been a bit more like how Steven Universe handled the ramifications of a certain dead characters actions. Also most minute change I'd make to the movie to avoid mixed messaging is instead of playing ACDC, Peter asks for the Ramones or something similar.
@@Lynch2507 yeah at first I was "hey it's being a while since I last watched something from him" and I quickly remembered why... when he likes something his videos are great, but when he doesn't he's pretty much dense.
Well there's different ways to present an idea in film. First being through dialogue where anyone can say "You're not Ironboy you're Spiderboy," and the other is directing actions which FFH didn't do well. They literally made Peter build a suit like Tony, while his iconic song was playing. It's not good film making when one contradicts the other.
Another problem with making both Vulture and Mysterio guys that just got screwed over by Tony Stark is that you could have just made these Ironman movies.
that comparison between project insight in captain america: the winter soldier and EDITH in far from home - THANK YOU. it was all i could think about when watching ffh for the first time. crazy how in catws it's clear that project insight is A Bad Thing but in ffh tony essentially builds a smaller project insight into some ray bans and calls himself a hero for it. and then hands those ray bans to a literal teenager and said teenager almost kills a classmate. it's like there's supposed to be this continuity in the mcu because that's the whole point of the mcu in the first place but they ironically forget very important plot points from past movies
Thank you for articulating the exact problems I had with this movie. I only watched it once, and couldn't bring myself to do it again. I love MCU movies, but this one just rubbed me the wrong way. I remember watching that scene at 9:25 and thinking just how ridiculous the whole situation - and all the coincidences leading up to it - seemed. Why on Earth would Tony give a ridiculously dangerous drone system to Peter? Did he forget about how much collateral damage Peter caused in Homecoming? Hell, Tony's character development revolved around taking responsibility for those kinds of mistakes and preventing further tragedies. If Edith really had to be passed on to someone else, it should've gone to Rhodey. You know, his best friend with the military weapons background, years of experience with Stark tech, and common sense? And you're absolutely right about the characters. Brad only exists because the writers need some semblance of drama and a way to get the Edith intro scene to happen. You'd think Aunt May would be worried about her young nephew fighting evil, but I guess Peter's actions in Endgame changed that. MJ, Ned, Betty, Flash... they're all there just for comedic purposes instead of having characterization. That's one of the cool things about the Raimi films; yes, they were pretty hokey, but they actually spent time building up the characters and making the audiences care about them. It makes for a more compelling narrative. But this... This was just bland.
I can agree with you two on a couple of those points. Like characters being more of an archetype and that Spider-Man stories are dramas that include comedy and action. What I *can't* agree with, however, is your definition of a "chad." Everyone knows vegetables are the spawn of the devil. That's why they taste so bad. A "chad" is someone who subscribes to Browntable
They say the most vocal critics of any franchise are usually not the people who hate it, but the people who love it. People who hate something from afar don't usually have much invested in hating it; they just don't like it, and they'll tell you so. But when you're really INTO something - well. That's another story. For example, I'm a Batman fan, and one of my favorite movies is 'Batman Returns' - which is flawed as hell, and I'll be the first to admit it. I can tell you all about what the film did wrong and what could have been done better, but ultimately, what's at the heart of the movie is something I love. In contrast, 'Batman V Superman' is a film I absolutely loathe, because, while it has just as many (albeit different) flaws, I am unable to forgive them, because I don't see anything at its heart to counterbalance them. I can make these arguments because I know the character of Batman well enough to know when he is (by my standards) being used well, and when he's not. Meanwhile, there are plenty of films I don't like which I don't put much energy into critiquing, because they're just not for me - I can say, 'yeah, it sucks' and leave it at that, but if it was part of something that WAS 'for me'? You'd never get me to shut up about it. So never be deterred by people who accuse you of not being 'real fans' for not liking something; those aren't fans, they're sheep. A real fan is a series' harshest critic, as well as its biggest flag-waver.
Hey guys, this is very long, but I came up with an (in my opinion) perfect MCU Spider-man 3 script, that I think will make all the fans happy, at least to some degree: At the start of the movie, Peter gets arrested after being framed by Mysterio for his death and countless others. In the beginning, he’s fleeing back home, but his house is already surrounded by SHIELD agents or some kind of military. In this version, SHIELD doesn’t know anything about Beck being a bad guy, as far as they know it was all real, because the only people knowing were Skrull Maria Hill and Nick Fury, we can say they went on a mission in space, leaving Peter with no connections and no one to trust except his friends and family. Peter will try to escape and there will be a short chase scene between Peter and SHIELD, but at last, the Avengers come (at this point probably only Falcon, Bucky, and War Machine) to finally arrest Peter, he tries to fight, but at last, they capture him with some kind of a special device (idk, you figure it out). This is the part of the first act where we could really see some good drama that a lot of us have been waiting for. Peter gets sent to the RAFT, or some other high-tech security prison. In here Peter is at his lowest, he will speak with Aunt May over the prison phone, and they will both share a scene of Peter breaking down, confessing about not saving Ben and how he’s been grieving about him, how Stark was his new mentor but he failed him too, and how he was in denial about his feelings about Ben’s death. There will be a flashback, back to his death, and also May’s reaction to first seeing Peter in the suit after Homecoming (WE NEED THESE SCENES EXPLAINED, Watts, you cant just show us May finding out and then nothing, give us some drama). We will get some prison scenes of Peter not able to sleep, him mourning and stuff, also we could see some prisoners that Peter arrested, trying to kill him in the prison. By the beginning of the second act, we will see Peter truly standing up for himself, and deciding to do what’s right, he will escape the prison, but not all Spider-man being strong and stuff, he wants to keep his identity a secret, at least in front of the prisoners, he will use his technological knowledge to bypass the prison’s security and create a security breach, making him the only escapee. At this point, he will go into hiding, create his OWN Spider-man suit, but not like his homemade suit, like an actual suit with no Stark tech, and he will start looking for ways to get clean. The government will hire Kraven the Hunter, in this universe some kind of a Russian or super skilled agent to hunt down Spider-man. By this point, I don’t know what more to add to the story, but I know how I want the movie to end. I want Peter to get clean of any criminal charges (you could even set up Matt Murdock by him being his lawyer or something), I want nobody to know that Peter is Spidey, but do it in a way that it was the medias fault and not some Dr. Strange mind whipping thing, I want a bigger villain to be introduced pulling the strings behind his framing (Wilson Fisk?, Norman Osborn?) and Kraven trying to kill Peter, rather than arresting him (maybe Kraven could be a double agent), and I want Peter to graduate from high school, and at the end of the movie (because MJ is largely absent from the movie), make her first appearance after the whole “Home Run” story be with her iconic red hair (which we’ve seen Zendaya rock), meeting Peter in the door with the iconic line, or something super similar. By this point, Peter will be a college student, independent of any Stark related stuff, broke, but more motivated to do the right thing, he will also make his suits homemade, similar to the suit in the PS4 game. All we want is a good Spider-man story that hits the original elements while keeping it fresh in this world of the MCU, give us drama over comedy.

Wow. I have never had the desire to watch "Far From Home" a second time after my theater viewing. I felt the movie was fantastic, but could never describe my feelings of not wanting to sit down to watch it again. This video really helped highlight some ideas that I feel I had but couldn't materialize as well as you have here. Great job!
@Erik Kemeey Fun that you ask, I actually had my 2nd viewing earlier this week! The movie's charm and value definitely held up! An opinion of mine that got stronger after the second viewing is how the Dock Ock bridge battle sets the bar too high. The remaining Spidey Villain battles, especially the Goblin battle, have their moments but the Ock fight is choreographed and executed as if it was straight out of the Raimi films. It was intense and lightning fast, just as Spidey fights should be. Everything else feels too tame by comparison
As much as I don't agree with HiTop's views I don't want him silenced I just wish there would be more substantial counterpoints Like, the entire discourse seems to be dominated by him at this point I find it a bit disheartening
it’s dominated by him bc ppl give him that power. both the fans and the haters treat his opinions as if it was a law being passed and that’s why he is where is today.
@@puny2008 Kinda sad honestly. I think it's fine to change your mind when presented with new opinions and data but some people just straight up parrot him Jay Excl wasn't enough apparently
I mean he makes a pretty compelling argument. I'm not gonna sit here and say that the new spiderman movies are terrible, but you can't deny this disney takeover of the blockbuster market hasn't resulted in some pretty formulaic, sanitized films. Maybe he dominates the discourse here because he's... more right than not?
@@yomama5368 "this disney takeover of the blockbuster market hasn't resulted in some pretty formulaic, sanitized films" some of them, sure. Mostly Disney's owns "he's... more right than not" not really And I do intend to make a response video to him some day, with another account I don't have the time now, but it's gonna happen Anyway, from what I remember from HiTop video, there are multiple instances of bad arguments (or arguments I could easily counterpoint) I could give example, but it could be a wall of text You tell me, if you are interested enough
This is one of my least favorite movies I've seen in a while. The only one that comes to mind as worse is Venom. Now, granted, I haven't seen that many movies. However, I have seen all the MCU movies, including Far From Home, multiple times. I can say with certainty that I will NEVER watch this movie again. The only exception is maybe when I rewatch MCU films, but there's no guarantee. I literally HATE it. And I don't hate many movies! I loved Homecoming too (8th favorite, behind the ones you'd expect), but this movie did not move him forward AT ALL. Homecoming did a great job at setting up very basic things, but Far From Home doesn't do anything to further them. Spider-Man does not change as a character. He never felt like he needed to take Tony's role. Other people forced him into believing that. As you said, he is content realizing he is a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. However, people pressure him to taking the role and then at the end, no one is pressuring him anymore. Peter did NOT change. Mysterio is flat and just stupid. They have, in my opinion, the worst scene I have ever seen where Mysterio reveals him and all his buddies have been fucked over by Stark. Then it's piratically gone. Also, no one else knows this happened so it can't be further discussed. Essentially, it never happened. Also, what is Mysterio's plan???? Seriously, think about it. So, he gets media popularity and is a hero, but what happens when the Avengers call on him?? He is just a HOLOGRAM! He is helpless to do anything. Also, the tone is just dumb. The movie is trying to be the funniest thing you've ever seen and a deep movie focusing on Stark's death at the same time. I maybe laughed four times at jokes during this. I can remember two. I also never felt emotion. This is extremely sad. Also, the reasons you touched on much more in depth. Aunt Mae should be worried after hearing that STARK and NAT DIED. Like, what the hell man?? After these superheroes died for the fight, she has no second thoughts about Peter being on the streets? The characters surrounding Peter are extremely stale, especially Ned. Ned was solid in the first film. He was funny and just wanted to be able to do something more. He was content with being the guy in the chair if it means he helps out. In this film, he's in love with fucking Betty for no reason and doesn't do anything. Also Fury/Talos is just a dick to Peter throughout the film. That reminds me, the scene where Fury is in Peter's room and people keep coming to the door is probably the second worst scene in the MCU, behind the ultimate exposition dump. I'm just gonna end this here. I could complain all day about this. Spider-Man NEEDS to be more than stupid, flat humor and no growth. If Tony Stark comes up in the third film in a major way, I'm going to lose my mind. Do Spider-Man right. Give him what he deserves. Stop him from leeching off Tony. He's a great character on his own, but I won't love him just because a good actor plays him and he's an iconic character. You have to earn this Marvel.
I mean, Vulture was one thing, but Beck... Tony wasn't exactly wrong there. The guy was most definitely unstable. He even remembered some details wrong, like everyone laughing when he gave the name BARF when in reality no one actually laughed and Tony himself said that the name sucked. And one of the guys who was working with Beck was also kinda working with Obie to steal his tech and kill him so... I mean... firing him at least seemed like the smart move.
I think peters goal should have been to prove that he is the next tony stark but through the movie he figures out that he can be his own hero “Spider Man”
Jim Nicholls And Far From Home is even better. It literally has all its strengths but improves upon the flaws. Yet somehow Browntable made this turd of a video anyway.
@@RM-cn8pw Like Browntable said at the end, if this video offended you in any way, you need to reevaluate yourself-- assuming you weren't butthurt just by reading the title and went past 10 seconds, you egocentric fuck.
Holy shit Hitop makes speeches that make me think about the path I am on in life and strive to go forward and higher, not just for myself but for all those I care for. Thank you for this video
@@birdsamora9925 it adds nothing to the movie and gets rid of any relationship Peter had with fury in this movie. And he is most likely never going to talk to the skrull again so why didn't they make it fury so he can trust Peter with these situations?
YES! FINALLY! Now you can stop being so negative about this fucking movie. You label them well and I love you, but please don’t become what HiTop has become. He’s just become such a pessimist and it’s hard to watch him now, and he was my favorite UA-camr. Having an opinion is fine, making a video is fine, but don’t let an opinion become your quirk. Alex thinks him not liking MCU Spidey is so fucking cool. It’s not, now I’m sad. I love you man.
For me, I summarize my feelings as- this doesn’t feel like “Spider-man: the movie”, it feels closer to “Spider-man in the MCU”, and that last part is prioritized over the first, or simply overshadows the first part. Mysterio is very good and feels perfect as a spider-man villain, one of the most memorable MCU villains for me due to his scenes, but Spider-mans interactions with him aren’t. I enjoy the movie when i forget what it could’ve been, Spider-man/Peter himself looks great and has cool action moments, the set-pieces are great, but then when I remember the full context and what it could’ve been, the movie kinda breaks my heart a little :/ I really, really hope they finally nail it with the 3rd one...frankly the “no secret identity” start doesn’t seem like a great base for a “spiderman” movie, but maybe, there is a small chance they use that “unique/twist” to make something special that will add to the history of the character.
@Erik Kemeey idk, i see that, but then you also have them getting a free trip around the world thanks to the threat of the elementals. You have MJ learn his identity and it enhancing their relationship, and you have him use star tech to make a new suit. I'm not saying i want these things out of the movie, but for every potentially/mild bad thing, there's a positive almost immediately after. You have peter struggle between his happiness and "super hero legacy", but he never really chooses one or the other. I don't feel there's moment in the film were he makes a tough choice because of responsibility, the movie is focused more on the legacy of stark, and it's nice to see Peter go through that but it also makes all his responsibility choices feel less of a choice and more of a mandatory thing .(the "stage-play/show" thing was sort of a moment, but because the way it's presented and what we know, it doesn't really have much weight...plus it's another thing they only got thanks to Peter's "job". Him and MJ are still gonna have a chance to spend time together later, he's still not really loosing something tangible/permanent, he's just experiencing the on-going conflict and suffering from feeling like he'll have to make a choice. I'll give it some credit, he does have an inner conflict, there's _some_ sacrifice he commits to, but he still "got his cake and ate it too", in part because of what felt like the "mandatory legacy of stark", he didn't have a moment were he really lost something because of choosing his own self imposed responsibility. You can see he somewhat does experience this via Mysterio revealing his identity at the end(despite him choosing to deactivate the drones and no longer use the glasses, that, i like), but we don't really see that affect him in this movie, so it's more of a "promise/tease" for the next movie rather then consequenses he suffers through in this one.
@Erik Kemeey like i said, i just felt it wasn't really "spiderman the movie". I don't think it's terrible, i just think the direction they went kinda overlooked the potential they had. Also- spiderman 2 ending is a happy one but it follows after peter loosing constantly and choosing to let go of MJ(who was gonna get a maried). Spiderman 3 further shows how it's not a straight up win. But hey, i don't need all movies to be the same, i just like spiderman who look like they are struggling and making really tough decisions despite them being punished for it. (It enhances how we percive their determination, a key trait of spiderman for me) I don't need it to only be a drama, but spiderman has always been involved in some level of drama in practically all his stories(heck, Far from home has drama with the whole "tony stark" thing, it just doesn't accomplish a lot, so it's not really good drama :/). If done correctly, you can still have the fun "road-trip" style of movie Far from home is going for.
The part that bothers me about far from home is that Peter is still hesitant to help even after being told that the elementals have previously destroyed another earth obviously we know this is a lie but still he’d rather let the world possibly end just to be with MJ
I always felt that Peter not becoming an active protaganist is due to the fact that he’s so beat after Infinity War and Endgame especially after Tony’s death. But I can respect and appreciate you and High Tops’ point of view in this case. Mad props for that excellent fix with Brad and Flash in the movie.
I really like Spider-Man: Far From Home. After watching this video, I can totally see why it gets so much hate. All that you've stated in this video, I can totally agree with. It's just the same as with the TASM movies for me, I for some reason don't find these points a bad thing for the movie. I think it's because the movies are different from what came before, I like to see new versions and see how they can make Spider-Man fresh and stand out from what came before. I loved Webb's Spider-Man, because it was very different from the typical Spider-Man story, and it was focused more on character, and that's usually what makes me love a movie. Characters are the most important to me in a story. Now, Far From Home has flaws, I see that. I agree, it misses the important elements of a Spider-Man story. And for some reason I am still able to look past those flaws and love it for what it is. It's different. I think that is why, it tries something new to keep it fresh, and it worked out in my opinion. I personally don't mind to see a character be changed drastically to make it original. I can see it as a new character, more so than a reincarnation of an already existing character. I think that's how I can love this movie and also see the flaws that it has
Maybe watch the video before commenting lol.

It’s not like it is
I feel like the biggest issue is that the supporting characters are mostly there for comedic purposes. What made the Raimi series so good was that every single character was super developed, even MJ. The interactions between all these characters is what created the drama. Also I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the fact that in Far From Home when Peter was stuck in the Netherlands during his lowest point, all he had to do was make a phone call to Happy. He had to make a SINGLE PHONE CALL to get out of the situation he was in. It would have been much better to have him get out of that situation himself and see him develop into the real hero he's supposed to be
exactly, a single phone call, a new suit, staying in 5 star hotels across Europe
this version of spider-man seems to have more of an easy life then any other version of spider-man ive seen so far, what a joke
091MW2 “What made the Raimi series so good was that every single character was super developed,”
That’s not even sort of true. You’re not even trying to be intellectually honest here.
“The interactions between all these characters is what created the drama.” That’s literally the case in Far From Home and Homecoming as well.
“Also I’m surprised that no one mentioned the fact that in Far From Home when Peter was stuck in the Netherlands during his lowest point, all he had to do was make a phone call to Happy.”
Ok. ... I’m waiting for you to explain why this is an issue.
091MW2 “It would have been much better to have him get out of the situation himself and see him develop into the real hero he’s supposed to be”
That’s literally what we DID see, you lying dumb-ass. Like, he explicitly develops into the hero he’s supposed to be. Watch the damn movie
this Bubbly Goodness “exactly,” Exactly nothing. Both of you are yet to explain the alleged “issue.”
“a single phone call,” Which wasn’t wasn’t even on his own phone. He literally had to borrow it from a stranger.
Also, you know that Peter being somewhere else doesn’t make Happy cease to exist or Peter forget numbers, right? RIGHT?
“a new suit,” One that HE MADE. Way to leave that out.
“staying in 5 star hotels across Europe” What? If you’re talking about Civil War, that’s more than seven years prior. And if you’re talking about Far From Home, that happens a grand total of ONCE. Not “across Europe.” And that was only because Fury interfered.
“this version of spider-man seems to have more of an easy life than any other version of spider-man ive seen so far”
And clearly none of those versions you’ve seen so far includes the MCU version, because he has the furthest thing from an easy life. You’d have to not be watching to movies to miss this fact.
“what a joke” I agree. You’re pathetically bad lies are a joke. You didn’t even pretend you’ve watched these movies.

i feel really weird, but for some reason when he gave the example of the other two aunt mays before Marisa Tomei I got kind of emotional... there is something so touching about the relationship of Peter and his aunt that the new movies really miss...
The new relationship is kind of older sister and younger brother rather than aunt/ adoptive mom and son.
@@moonisusman4072 The relationship between them barely exists. Whenever I think of Aunt May I think of a relative of Spider-Man that he goes to for advice and when he’s struggling. Here, he just holds it all in, and never talks about it, Tobey held it in too but he eventually overcame his struggles, Tom ignores it.
At least some of it was still there in homecoming. I like the scene where May freaks the fuck out when Peter goes missing.
There’s stuff omitted from sally field’s aunt may that makes me cry when i see it in full. She was there for him and raised him since his father, who he’s so obsessed with, abandoned him. After she says she doesn’t know how to manage without ben, she tells peter that he’s her son, her and ben’s kid.

Have you seen HiTopFilms review? Or any others that are negative? They all have a lot more dislikes from angry MCU fanboys
I personally agree with Hi Top . When I learned about how much people kept liking mcu Spider-Man, I decided to check it out. I watched civil war,and liked him in that movie sooo I decided to watch homecoming .After watching it, I had a weird feeling ,I couldn't feel the charm of Spider-Man, my first ever introduction to the character was Spectacular Spider-Man, I didn't see Spider-Man,I saw Tom holland dressed as Spider-Man. I watched videos of people having problems with the MCU incarnation. I saw the gameplay/story mode of insomniacs Spider-Man and I new what the MCU was missing. A lot of MCU fanboys say tobey was a good Peter Parker because he was nerdy,andrew was the best Spider-Man because humour ,and Tom holland is both a he is nerdy and humour. Which makes him the best . Which I completely disagree with .Spider-Man isn't 2dimensional . There is more to him than nerdiness and humour,Hi Top said it perfectly .Tom holland himself called his Spider-Man iron man jr. Again everyone has there own opinion but I hate when these MCU fanboys bash others just because they think he is the best. The reason they think he is the best is far from the true character of Spider-Man
Have a nice day
It's rare to see people who genuinely understand Spider-Man to that point, and understand what truly makes him special beyond the fact he's just a teenage superhero. He's THE teenage superhero. The quintessential coming of age story, not just in the superhero medium, but quite honestly in most modern pop culture in general. I loved this video.
Right
I’m more than sure that every spider-man fan understands why Spider-man is special, but yeah I agree.
Then why are you expecting him to be the completed, grown-up Peter Parker at the BEGINNING of the coming of age story??
@@somethingabstractiguess Because there's an inherent difference between skipping the coming of age story and repeating it ad-nauseam 3 movies in a row without letting the character move forward in the slightest.
No? Homecoming is about Peter learning the meaning of responsibility by not relying on Stark's suit and about finding his place as a small time hero. He learns that with his abilities, he has the unique power to make a meaningful difference and stop someone bad (Vulture) from making the world a worse place, and he can't rely on others (Tony) to fix his messes. He is left to his own devices and becomes his own hero.
FFH is about Peter learning the meaning of responsibility (his actions having severe consequences and almost getting him and his entire class killed multiple times) and stepping out of Iron Man's shadow (whatever that's supposed to mean for Spidey I guess?)
He learns that with his abilities, he has the unique power to make a meaningful difference and stop someone bad (Mysterio) from making the world a worse place, and he can't rely on others (Fury) to fix his messes. He is left to his own devices and becomes his own hero.
NWH, (spoiler alert obv) is about Peter LEARNING THE MEANING OF RESPONSIBILITY IN THE FACT HE IS THE REASON THE VILLAINS ARE ON THE LOOSE AND HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN STOP THEM. This time, the consequences come to pass and his aunt pays the price.
He learns that with his abilities, he has the unique power to make a meaningful difference and stop some bad guys from making the world a worse place, and he can't rely on others (Strange) to fix his messes. He is left to his own devices (sorta) and becomes his own hero.
Seriously. All three of these fucking movies went in a great big circle and pretty much put us where a lot of us assumed the character was after Civil War: A young Peter who's already gone through his origin story, and has a new suit and is ready to face the world.
The only reason people are distracted from this fact is because they cram those movies full of MCU lore and fanwank and the last one went full on to bring in previous actors to wow everyone into forgetting this is now the third time Peter has pretty much been a stupid kid who didn't learn the lessons we thought he already was well past the point of knowing.
@@Slimshadow457 No, the reason people are "distracted from this fact" is because it's not true. You can boil pretty much every Spider-Man story to "Peter once again learns that with great power comes great responsibility." But that fails to capture the nuance and meaning from each film.
This whole trilogy is about Peter learning to be Spider-Man with a smaller and smaller safety net around him.
In Homecoming, Peter proves that he doesn't need Stark's direct help to be his own small time hero. In Far From Home, he learns that he not only has a responsibility to larger threats but that he can and should face them without any other heroes providing him a safety net. Stark being dead (FFH) and just not in the final fight (Homecoming) are quite different if you actually think about it from Peter's perspective. No Way Home is about Peter learning that his loved ones can actually get hurt from his irresponsibility, so he chooses to be COMPLETELY ALONE rather than risk their safety. At the end of No Way Home, he truly feels like a grown-up Spider-Man who knows the meaning of his responsibility...and that's exactly what the trilogy was aiming to do. Bring Peter from a naive high schooler to a mature Spider-Man.
it was also really dumb how Tony gave EDITH to a high schooler instead of someone much more trustworthy like Rhodey or Pepper.
Giving it to Harley Keener is still a lot better choice than Peter Parker because he’s into mechanics more than Peter, not to mention that he modified the suit ALONE while Peter needs Ned’s help.
Why would Tony make edith if weapons manufacturing was stopped in first ironman movie
Uh you fucking think dude Tony is a fucking dumb-ass.
he shouldn't have made EDITH in the first place
Pepper would never accept it she was against all this. Rhodey would most probably hand it over to government
Far From Home, more like, Far From Drama. Gottem, 10 points for Films&Stuff!
Still better than the overrated Homecoming.
@@shinndig1293 nah, homecoming handled Peter's arc much better and far from home retconned that
@@bloodfinity Trying to impress Tony Stark is NOT what Spider-Man's motivational arc should be based around.
@@shinndig1293 I completely agree. But my point was that at least homecoming had him getting out of Tony's shadow and being his own man but far from home retconed it and made his arc contradictory ,one scene ,Happy is telling him not to be like Tony and the other ,Peter's creating a suit and with ACDC in the background looking just like Tony
@@shinndig1293 you’re kidding right.
Personally for me, the fundemental flaw in 'Far From Home' is the overreliance in the the greater world of the MCU. I've never read the comic source and coming from someone who have seen Uncle Ben dying twice, I'm fine if they change the mythos a bit.
But the film is always under some kind of shadow -- Iron Man. The villain is bent on revenge, the hero is trying to live up to him and the world is asking the hero to be like him. As you said, in 'Homecoming', Peter refused Tony's offer. And Vulture, though he had bitterness on Stark, his main motivation is to care for his family.
This flaw isn't even exclusive to 'Far From Home'. It could be observed in all the "origin" standalone films since 'Ant-Man'.
To be fair, forgetting Iron Man's overinvolvment, Spider-Man stories were always connected to the larger heroes world, from the very beginning
Peter Frank well I mean, the villains hated Osborn for a similar reason in PS4. And I like Tony Stark way more and would rather have a villain hate him. It was down well in a Earths Mightiest Heroes as to why Wonder Man hated Tony Stark. On the other, Osborn is a jerk and responsible for so many people becoming villains in various adaptations and prospers and gets away with it.
I feel like that was the aim of the film. To bring Spidey out of the shadow of Tony and make him his own hero. I think this is a pretty good theme and idea for this version of Spidey, but I just feel it didn’t execute it well
This is something Shazam tackled very well, that I think Marvel can learn from. It felt different from any superhero movie I have ever seen, as it actually felt like... you know, a movie. Sure, there were nods and references to the other heroes in the universe, but they were background elements, realistically woven into the characters’ lives. The focus was on Shazam from beginning to end, with another hero only showing up in the post-credits scene as a joke. In Marvel movies, there are constant references to other events and heroes in the universe, and while it’s great for world-building, it makes it impossible for any hero to feel like their own hero.
@@ultimatehope549 you make it sound like one kind of choice is better than the other
It's just a different approach. Marvel has always been more interconnected.
And using the larger world informs Peter's journey in these movies

I really wished they would take a PTSD route with Far From Home, the dude "died" at the end of Infinity War.
It would be cool to show how he's struggling because he feels responsible, but is also being crippled with anxiety, and that would justify his somewhat passiveness.
Why just why
Exactly! Peter should be a tragic character. We should see the challenges he faces that make him more into a better hero overtime.
isnt that just iron man 3
Thought it was just me. Everyone was telling me it was a great movie but I left the theater feeling empty. I couldn’t explain it just something was missing.
Another thing I love about the vulture is that him stealing the stuff has literally 0 affect on Tony. They are just scraps lying aroudn in his tower that he'll never use. Peter stopping vulture is not about helping Tony, but about not wanting weapons on the street that arguably wouldn't affect him. He chooses to change his motivation, and that is the msot active a character can be
Did it change? I thought it was the same as on the ferry, except this time he succeeded.
Explain if you would.

A lot of the supporting cast do feel like background characters.
You can still have a Teen Comedy Movie with fleshed out supporting characters. This chose not to.
Yeah, because its necessary that we get Ned's anime backstory.
@@SpectacularSpiderFan please, as if we asked for 20 minutes worth of background story. We just need something to add his character depth. Outside of being Peter's BFF, likes Star Wars, and likes Betty, does Ned had anything else going on? No, because that's all he is meant to be according to the MCU: a comic relief.

Bro, I can't stand that creators feel the need to include a disclaimer any time they make a video criticizing ANY element of the MCU. Those fans must be the most hypersensitive lot in all of fandom, because no other franchise gets afforded this luxury.

Theres more fans and because of that more toxic ones. I am not that into the MCU but they arent a bad fandom

Besides, this "if you bring up Marvel, I gotta bring up how worse DC fans are!" knee-jerk mindset sorta makes me think I'm on to something. Hardcore MCU fans remind me of Beyonce fans with the hive mindset, looking down at other fandoms because of the success of their own product, while at the same time lowkey exhibiting the worst traits that smaller fandoms of less successful properties exhibit out of jealousy . Hardcore MCU fans have no excuse. You've won. It's the most successful commercial enterprise in cinema history. Why should you care if others DARE to point out the flaws?

I am a SPIDERMAN fan. Not an MCU fan. And as a SPIDERMAN fan, the MCU "spidey" is a disappointment. They needed to let peter/spiderman be his own thing before rushing into the MCU. They needed to give him time to grow and evolve instead of shoving him into places hes not ready for yet. We needed atleast 2 films centered on spiderman and HIS universe WITHOUT the larger Mcu interference. I like tom as spiderman. But what they did with the character i am NOT a fan of. Spiderman 2002 and spiderman 2 are still FAR superior films.
Eh idk if there really superior i just watched them both too reevaluate my opinion on the but tbh i like both about the same with spiderman 2 being a lil bit above them and homecoming not being too far behind imo
Yes I agree.
Spider-Man 1 and 2 will always be superior films because Raimi wanted to make a Spider-Man movie. He cares for the character and properly understands him as well. Him and his crew put in all their love and soul into SM1 and 2. That's why those movies will stand the test of time as two of the best Spider-Man movies of all time.
I have no fucking clue what Jon Watts is trying to do. He's said that he doesn't have any experience with Spider-Man comics. Makes sense why he had two chances and still can't make a proper Spider-Man movie.
Makes me appreciate the TASM movies a little more tbh
Well I don't think that he HAD to have 2 solo films. Admittedly considering that your complaint is that he needs more growth a solo film could help as it would obviously give more focus, but it's not an inherent truth and acting as such is kind of silly
I'm Actually a SPIDER-MAN Fan More than than a Marvel Diehard Fan and I'm sad that Peter Parker became like an Iron Man Jr. Spider Man is Supposed to be his OWN Hero, Not some Sidekick, Not the Next Iron Man.
and Hopefully the Next MCU Spider-Man Trilogy will Focus on Peter Being his OWN Hero instead of an Iron Man Jr. And should be Focusing on His Responsibility.
I Grew up with Spider Man 2002, and Spider-Man 2 and I still think they're One of the Best Comic Book Superhero Movies to Ever Match up with the Dark Knight.

The reason they couldn’t use Flash as a romantic rival is because they’ve taken away everything that made him a more obvious choice than Peter. It’s not that we can’t entertain the possibility of him actually winning, we can’t entertain the thought that MJ would even think of dating this guy. In the comics, he’s not really that intelligent, but he’s cool, strong, good looking and popular. Hell, the guy even goes on to realize how ridiculous he was in school and becomes a war hero, proving that even someone like him can use his natural leadership and physical skills for a better and more respectable reason other than picking on nerds. The “great power=great responsibility” lesson is something he learns to abide by, without super powers, and ironically from Spider-Man, whom he admires while picking on Peter.
In the MCU, he’s less good looking than Peter, skinnier, shorter, less intelligent and less popular. He doesn’t seem to have much more than dad’s money going for him, and we even see his father is absent. Brad at least seems like a charismatic good looking dude you could believe could actually steal Peter’s girl. Flash is the school’s punching bag, everyone makes fun of him, nobody respects him. Even in a crisis, in the comics, you could see Flash’s natural leading skills kicking in gear, trying to help his peers out of situations until Spider-Man showed up, sometimes even attempts to fight super villains, despite his lack of powers. The one in the MCU just cowers in fear until he’s saved. He’s too dumb for the nerds, and too physically and socially unimpressive for the jocks and the cool kids, so he’s even more of an outcast than Peter in these movies, who at least belongs somewhere, socially speaking.
So Flash basically stole Harry Osborns gig?
@@dts_draco Except Harry actually got with MJ - so Flash is even beneath Harry.

@@Saint0999 You kidding? He’s the punchline of every joke from every student. Even the stereotypical nerdy Asian kid is sassing him without a worry.

@@wtfstudios4093 I prefer the Raimi movies, but I still think Spider Man 3 was shit.
@Erik Kemeey well in a way thats a good thing. Maybe this way we could actually get a Spiderman film from the MCU that ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE ONE.
@@hwanniggles187 We do, three in fact, we just got the third less then a week ago today. They’re called Homecoming, Far From Home, and No Way Home.
Even his own comment sections' top comments are making fun of him. Not saying that's a bad thing inherently, but damn. I could hardly find anyone agreeing with him or even acknowledging his good points.
I feel like Far From Home's central plot point is how the responsibility of being a hero is crushing Peter, especially in this new paradigm of Spider-Man plus the fallout from Endgame. In Homecoming, Peter is blissful in his ignorance of what true responsibility is. He thinks he wants to be an Avenger, be a hero, but doesn't understand what that means. It's only when he is presented with the immediate threat of the Vulture and has to leave his date to pursue his responsibility that he begins to understand. It's the classic Spider-man internal conflict of responsibility taking precedence over his own life.
Far From Home is the natural progression of a character who is now weary and, when you think about it, a war veteran. He has seen what his responsibility really is and is understandably afraid. He's not actually a passive character, he makes the choice to avoid conflict and responsibility but other characters won't accept that. May packing his suit, Fury forcing him to help, Spider-man is dragged into conflict kicking and screaming. That's not passive. The emotional height of the film comes when Spider-man breaks down with Happy. Happy makes it clear that this responsibility wasn't easy for Tony either. It's okay to be scared, it's okay to make mistakes. This lesson, hard learned though it is, changes Peter in the climatic final sequence. He is still human, afraid of failure, of making mistakes, but now he understands that his responsibility supersedes that fear. He's known this since Civil War but was never truly tested until now.
I would argue that by the end of Far From Home we actually have the best on screen representation of Spider-man. Firm in his belief that with great power comes great responsibility and now with the actual gumption and confidence to stay true to that.
I agree 100%
Nah man that ain't true ya see, because "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility" isn't being shoved in my face a million time, it's clear that Jon Watts and co don't understand Spider Man as a character. What are themes?

As an MCU stan, and especially as an Iron Man stan, I really dislike what FFH did with Tony's character arc. Both IM2 and HoCo already had villains that were based on Tony's shortcomings, and FFH includes as one of the "villains"...the guy that Stane yelled at? So that was already overused, but more than that, I hate what they did to Tony's legacy, especially after what he said in IM1 that he "had more to offer the world than things that blow up"....so he gives Peter Edith?
Even if they wanted to touch on Tony's legacy, there's a pretty clear parallel to be made now about how Pepper and Morgan relate to May and Peter, because making the movie more intimate would have made it a lot better.
@Erik Kemeey did anyone like age of Ultron?

The superhero community can be very ignorant and toxic, having these two simply presenting views I do not agree with isn't really much of a problem
While i like Far from Home and its probably one of my favorite Spider-man films, i do at least appreciate that Browntable judged this movie as a film and not just complaining about Far from Home being inaccurate to the source material or not being like the Raimi films as a reason for why they feel the movie is bad and he does bring up legitimate flaws with the movie that i do agree with.
As someone who liked the film I can say without a doubt this video is 100% correct with many of the points it makes
I think the problem I have with some mcu movies is that they don't work well as standalone pieces, they're made to build up for something bigger.
If you read a random chapter of a book or watch an episode of a show out of context, you're not gonna enjoy it because it is not the way it's meant to be consumed, and I don't think that should be the case for movies as well.
That's a good point it's why one of my favorite MCU movies is Thor Ragnarok because it feels like it's own thing
The marvel movies follow a formula and look and feel the same thats why i dont watch those movies, other than Spiderman. I am very dissapointed with how they have handled spiderman as a hardcore Spidey fan. After TASM 2 dissapointment i was upset Garfield dropped out and i was so stocked for the mcu Spiderman but here we are.
agreed, i think the fact that the spider-man movies have to rely on this whole bigger cinematic universe really affects them and not in a good way. i've always seen spider-man as a standalone piece and i'm really not a fan of how much they're tied to the mcu and iron man as a character in particular
@@athenajaxon2397 and that's why you don't deserve friends.
I feel like MJ does still tie into the plot of Far From Home, because Peter's desire to be with her conflicts with his obligation to Fury and influences his decision to give Mysterio Stark's glasses. It's structured a lot differently than homecoming obviously, but I think both movies are still compelling, albeit in separate ways.
Yes but this would have worked better if we gave MJ and Peter a real friendship that felt genuine and good instead of just a crush if we felt like Peter wanted to take the next step and get out of the friend zone and maybe be helping MJ through something difficult like let’s say her mom died from collateral damage during the snap and she’s a bit depressed that would be great and having peter want to be there for his friends would be much more compelling have being Spider-Man become something exhausting something so hard to bear so awful always fighting and Peter can’t take it anymore that would have been much better and would have made this movie 10x better
But they decided they would rather have a funny road trip movie
You can still have drama and comedy honestly but if they had put a few of these plot points in this would have made the film way better
@@zandyman2577 exactly she should've gotten more scenes in homecoming to develop her as a possible love interest and show us how she actually struggles with getting close to people like she says they also deleted a scene where may and peter pick her up because her dad didn't after the washington monuement incident that would've been so cool giving us a friendship to buildup on and giving us a reason to care and also showing how mj might have a negligent family that doesn't discuss their feelings which makes her less social and gives us reason to why she has struggle with getting close to people love mj in no way home but she would've been amazing if she was given depth like gwen in tasm or even mj in tobey's films she may be annoying but she's an actual character rather than an object for peter to win over
Why is it that whenever Alex speaks, every word that comes out of his mouth is so filled with passion and heart and intelligence. I am a (well you can see my name) and I while I do love Spider- man I don't have as much of a passion as others do for him but I completely support Alex and the people who dislike MCU Spider- man. I like tom holland as a actor and in the role and especially in civil war. But what they did to him is like if in Matt reeves batman 2021 they had Bruce not be influenced by his parents death.
Anyway everyone is entitled to their opinion and there should only be civil discussion about these things
Great video guys :-)
edit: i know that matt reeves and pattinson are going to be faithful to the character and the waynes lagacy, that was only an example. My point is that neglecting the core of what makes a character like batman or spider-man who they are in a mainstream version of the character is wrong. i don't need to see ben get shot or the waynes get killed but to not reference them in any capacity is absurd. like i said i like holland as spidey and i liked the scene in civil war but i get completely what people like alex, mauricio and others are saying. No matter what everyone is entitled to their opinion and dont attack someone if you dont like theirs. :-)
Matt Reeves not including the Waynes was a joke
Yeah I have complete faith in him and pattinson. I was just using it as an example :-)
@@batmanfan6207 he actually said he would address it but he wouldn't go full depth on it they're not going to do what homecoming did by ignoring Uncle Ben completely.
Batman Fan you didnt get it did you😂Matt Revees not including the death of the Waynes is a April Fool's joke. Of course they're dead!
What? I was just using it as an example, like I said I have faith in Matt reeves and pattinson that they will deliver a faithful and good adaptation of batman
People have different opinions on Spider-man whether it be favorite movie or a favorite actor, but we can all agree that he's a great character that's affected us in different ways, so we shouldn't hate those who don't agree with a certain interpretation of the character, because they at least love one interpretation of Spider-man.
People want the more accurate or better the best version of the character. Fundamentally the MCU got it wrong after Homecoming because they actually did a good job establishing his character in Civil War.

The best way they could’ve avoided the Iron Boy Jr thing would be to make Steve Rogers way more important to Spider-Man. His ideals align much better with Peter anyway and it would be a great way for Peter to see Tony’s flaws.
Or just have mix of both for god sake
@@ATalesTruth- that’s what I was getting at it. I meant more important to Peter in general, not more important to him than Tony.

Lmao
bro that concept where his spider sense starts tingling before something even happens is LITERALLY depicted in no way home wtf, it was when peter sensed something was up with norman in the condo scene
I really like your story for Flash. Following that momentum, in the next movie, when Spidey's identity is revealed, Flash would at first be skeptical for effect. But eventually learn that even the weakest people can be strong and anybody can be a hero. This is what inspires him to stand up to his parents and refuses to do what they plan for him. Instead, he becomes his own hero and joins the military
That's actually a really good idea, and something I'd like them to do for the character
Some of the humor in far from home is almost like a sitcom. The actual Spider-Man parts are great though
The music that defines Mary Jane is Because of You - Kelly Clarkson
I love the movie as a whole, but the scene with Brad and the Shield agent along with the bus scene felt kinda gross and didn’t really fit with the movie
I feel grossed out by the shirtless scenes
I'm ok with it in the other movies but in this the character is a minor
It feels kinda gross. Especially the scene where the adult shield agent was telling him to take off his clothes. People would have been pissed if that was a grown man telling that to a teenage girl
simonegreco I only like when the Chris bois and Paul Rudd are
Marvel always tries to shoehorn in scenes of their jacked actors without shirts, it just felt really weird this time since he’s supposed to be 16 and someone is making him strip down
Definitely. That scene felt so out of place and just odd
The pressure on Spider-Man 3 just got real.
“Spider-Man Far From Home avoids uncle ben more than I avoid Far From Home”
Hi Top and Browntable are god-sends I stg
I don’t think Happy was saying not to be like Tony stark but rather that it’s okay to mess up because even tony stark did. Being a hero doesn’t mean being perfect. But everything else I agree with.
Honestly, the fact that HiTop still thinks the movie is about Peter becoming the "next iron man" says a lot to how little attention he paid or how biased he was going in, when the movies whole third act is about how Peter isnt iron man, hes spider man
I agree that's what the movie was going for but it kinda fumbles it when the only people who seriously call him out on the mistakes he made are the bad guys. I wish it had been a bit more like how Steven Universe handled the ramifications of a certain dead characters actions.
Also most minute change I'd make to the movie to avoid mixed messaging is instead of playing ACDC, Peter asks for the Ramones or something similar.
@@Lynch2507 yeah at first I was "hey it's being a while since I last watched something from him" and I quickly remembered why... when he likes something his videos are great, but when he doesn't he's pretty much dense.
@@biazacha it depends on what he's talking about tbh
Well there's different ways to present an idea in film. First being through dialogue where anyone can say "You're not Ironboy you're Spiderboy," and the other is directing actions which FFH didn't do well. They literally made Peter build a suit like Tony, while his iconic song was playing. It's not good film making when one contradicts the other.
Another problem with making both Vulture and Mysterio guys that just got screwed over by Tony Stark is that you could have just made these Ironman movies.
that comparison between project insight in captain america: the winter soldier and EDITH in far from home - THANK YOU. it was all i could think about when watching ffh for the first time. crazy how in catws it's clear that project insight is A Bad Thing but in ffh tony essentially builds a smaller project insight into some ray bans and calls himself a hero for it. and then hands those ray bans to a literal teenager and said teenager almost kills a classmate. it's like there's supposed to be this continuity in the mcu because that's the whole point of the mcu in the first place but they ironically forget very important plot points from past movies
Thank you for articulating the exact problems I had with this movie. I only watched it once, and couldn't bring myself to do it again. I love MCU movies, but this one just rubbed me the wrong way. I remember watching that scene at 9:25 and thinking just how ridiculous the whole situation - and all the coincidences leading up to it - seemed. Why on Earth would Tony give a ridiculously dangerous drone system to Peter? Did he forget about how much collateral damage Peter caused in Homecoming? Hell, Tony's character development revolved around taking responsibility for those kinds of mistakes and preventing further tragedies. If Edith really had to be passed on to someone else, it should've gone to Rhodey. You know, his best friend with the military weapons background, years of experience with Stark tech, and common sense?
And you're absolutely right about the characters. Brad only exists because the writers need some semblance of drama and a way to get the Edith intro scene to happen. You'd think Aunt May would be worried about her young nephew fighting evil, but I guess Peter's actions in Endgame changed that. MJ, Ned, Betty, Flash... they're all there just for comedic purposes instead of having characterization. That's one of the cool things about the Raimi films; yes, they were pretty hokey, but they actually spent time building up the characters and making the audiences care about them. It makes for a more compelling narrative. But this... This was just bland.
I can agree with you two on a couple of those points. Like characters being more of an archetype and that Spider-Man stories are dramas that include comedy and action. What I *can't* agree with, however, is your definition of a "chad." Everyone knows vegetables are the spawn of the devil. That's why they taste so bad. A "chad" is someone who subscribes to Browntable
The message of Far From Home described by HiTop had me rolling.
This video literally poured my inner thoughts and I hope writers don't mess up such little yet critical things in the next movies
They say the most vocal critics of any franchise are usually not the people who hate it, but the people who love it. People who hate something from afar don't usually have much invested in hating it; they just don't like it, and they'll tell you so. But when you're really INTO something - well. That's another story.
For example, I'm a Batman fan, and one of my favorite movies is 'Batman Returns' - which is flawed as hell, and I'll be the first to admit it. I can tell you all about what the film did wrong and what could have been done better, but ultimately, what's at the heart of the movie is something I love. In contrast, 'Batman V Superman' is a film I absolutely loathe, because, while it has just as many (albeit different) flaws, I am unable to forgive them, because I don't see anything at its heart to counterbalance them.
I can make these arguments because I know the character of Batman well enough to know when he is (by my standards) being used well, and when he's not. Meanwhile, there are plenty of films I don't like which I don't put much energy into critiquing, because they're just not for me - I can say, 'yeah, it sucks' and leave it at that, but if it was part of something that WAS 'for me'? You'd never get me to shut up about it.
So never be deterred by people who accuse you of not being 'real fans' for not liking something; those aren't fans, they're sheep. A real fan is a series' harshest critic, as well as its biggest flag-waver.
Batman returns is cool
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the transition at 10:30
That was amazing
Hitop Is an absolute unit, a dashing madlad, and my personal hero.
Hey guys, this is very long, but I came up with an (in my opinion) perfect MCU Spider-man 3 script, that I think will make all the fans happy, at least to some degree:
At the start of the movie, Peter gets arrested after being framed by Mysterio for his death and countless others. In the beginning, he’s fleeing back home, but his house is already surrounded by SHIELD agents or some kind of military. In this version, SHIELD doesn’t know anything about Beck being a bad guy, as far as they know it was all real, because the only people knowing were Skrull Maria Hill and Nick Fury, we can say they went on a mission in space, leaving Peter with no connections and no one to trust except his friends and family. Peter will try to escape and there will be a short chase scene between Peter and SHIELD, but at last, the Avengers come (at this point probably only Falcon, Bucky, and War Machine) to finally arrest Peter, he tries to fight, but at last, they capture him with some kind of a special device (idk, you figure it out). This is the part of the first act where we could really see some good drama that a lot of us have been waiting for. Peter gets sent to the RAFT, or some other high-tech security prison. In here Peter is at his lowest, he will speak with Aunt May over the prison phone, and they will both share a scene of Peter breaking down, confessing about not saving Ben and how he’s been grieving about him, how Stark was his new mentor but he failed him too, and how he was in denial about his feelings about Ben’s death. There will be a flashback, back to his death, and also May’s reaction to first seeing Peter in the suit after Homecoming (WE NEED THESE SCENES EXPLAINED, Watts, you cant just show us May finding out and then nothing, give us some drama). We will get some prison scenes of Peter not able to sleep, him mourning and stuff, also we could see some prisoners that Peter arrested, trying to kill him in the prison. By the beginning of the second act, we will see Peter truly standing up for himself, and deciding to do what’s right, he will escape the prison, but not all Spider-man being strong and stuff, he wants to keep his identity a secret, at least in front of the prisoners, he will use his technological knowledge to bypass the prison’s security and create a security breach, making him the only escapee. At this point, he will go into hiding, create his OWN Spider-man suit, but not like his homemade suit, like an actual suit with no Stark tech, and he will start looking for ways to get clean. The government will hire Kraven the Hunter, in this universe some kind of a Russian or super skilled agent to hunt down Spider-man. By this point, I don’t know what more to add to the story, but I know how I want the movie to end. I want Peter to get clean of any criminal charges (you could even set up Matt Murdock by him being his lawyer or something), I want nobody to know that Peter is Spidey, but do it in a way that it was the medias fault and not some Dr. Strange mind whipping thing, I want a bigger villain to be introduced pulling the strings behind his framing (Wilson Fisk?, Norman Osborn?) and Kraven trying to kill Peter, rather than arresting him (maybe Kraven could be a double agent), and I want Peter to graduate from high school, and at the end of the movie (because MJ is largely absent from the movie), make her first appearance after the whole “Home Run” story be with her iconic red hair (which we’ve seen Zendaya rock), meeting Peter in the door with the iconic line, or something super similar. By this point, Peter will be a college student, independent of any Stark related stuff, broke, but more motivated to do the right thing, he will also make his suits homemade, similar to the suit in the PS4 game. All we want is a good Spider-man story that hits the original elements while keeping it fresh in this world of the MCU, give us drama over comedy.

Wow. I have never had the desire to watch "Far From Home" a second time after my theater viewing. I felt the movie was fantastic, but could never describe my feelings of not wanting to sit down to watch it again. This video really helped highlight some ideas that I feel I had but couldn't materialize as well as you have here. Great job!
@Erik Kemeey Fun that you ask, I actually had my 2nd viewing earlier this week! The movie's charm and value definitely held up! An opinion of mine that got stronger after the second viewing is how the Dock Ock bridge battle sets the bar too high. The remaining Spidey Villain battles, especially the Goblin battle, have their moments but the Ock fight is choreographed and executed as if it was straight out of the Raimi films. It was intense and lightning fast, just as Spidey fights should be. Everything else feels too tame by comparison
@Erik Kemeey Oh damn, hahaha. Oops, I have still not rewatched Far Away from Home and have no desire too.
My boy HiTop Alex made one of the best moments in ALL UA-cam history.

I could give example, but it could be a wall of text
You tell me, if you are interested enough
Amazing Spider-Man's cast is underrated in my opinion
I agree
Man my man HiTops enters the scene and just owns it. He is totally right. I can not agree more with this.
Yah
I personally really love the Spider-Man Homecoming duo, but I am still really excited
Me too, but far from home is horrible for me
@Spidemian Check out the video
This is one of my least favorite movies I've seen in a while. The only one that comes to mind as worse is Venom. Now, granted, I haven't seen that many movies. However, I have seen all the MCU movies, including Far From Home, multiple times. I can say with certainty that I will NEVER watch this movie again. The only exception is maybe when I rewatch MCU films, but there's no guarantee. I literally HATE it. And I don't hate many movies! I loved Homecoming too (8th favorite, behind the ones you'd expect), but this movie did not move him forward AT ALL. Homecoming did a great job at setting up very basic things, but Far From Home doesn't do anything to further them. Spider-Man does not change as a character. He never felt like he needed to take Tony's role. Other people forced him into believing that. As you said, he is content realizing he is a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. However, people pressure him to taking the role and then at the end, no one is pressuring him anymore. Peter did NOT change. Mysterio is flat and just stupid. They have, in my opinion, the worst scene I have ever seen where Mysterio reveals him and all his buddies have been fucked over by Stark. Then it's piratically gone. Also, no one else knows this happened so it can't be further discussed. Essentially, it never happened. Also, what is Mysterio's plan???? Seriously, think about it. So, he gets media popularity and is a hero, but what happens when the Avengers call on him?? He is just a HOLOGRAM! He is helpless to do anything. Also, the tone is just dumb. The movie is trying to be the funniest thing you've ever seen and a deep movie focusing on Stark's death at the same time. I maybe laughed four times at jokes during this. I can remember two. I also never felt emotion. This is extremely sad. Also, the reasons you touched on much more in depth. Aunt Mae should be worried after hearing that STARK and NAT DIED. Like, what the hell man?? After these superheroes died for the fight, she has no second thoughts about Peter being on the streets? The characters surrounding Peter are extremely stale, especially Ned. Ned was solid in the first film. He was funny and just wanted to be able to do something more. He was content with being the guy in the chair if it means he helps out. In this film, he's in love with fucking Betty for no reason and doesn't do anything. Also Fury/Talos is just a dick to Peter throughout the film. That reminds me, the scene where Fury is in Peter's room and people keep coming to the door is probably the second worst scene in the MCU, behind the ultimate exposition dump. I'm just gonna end this here. I could complain all day about this. Spider-Man NEEDS to be more than stupid, flat humor and no growth. If Tony Stark comes up in the third film in a major way, I'm going to lose my mind. Do Spider-Man right. Give him what he deserves. Stop him from leeching off Tony. He's a great character on his own, but I won't love him just because a good actor plays him and he's an iconic character. You have to earn this Marvel.
I mean, Vulture was one thing, but Beck... Tony wasn't exactly wrong there. The guy was most definitely unstable. He even remembered some details wrong, like everyone laughing when he gave the name BARF when in reality no one actually laughed and Tony himself said that the name sucked. And one of the guys who was working with Beck was also kinda working with Obie to steal his tech and kill him so... I mean... firing him at least seemed like the smart move.
Two of my favorite UA-camrs collaborating? Is it my birthday? This was fantastic.
Great video chad! I love whenever you talk about Spider-Man because he is and will always be my absolute favourite character in all of fiction

This video made me realize why I love Spider-Man so much
YES! FINALLY! Now you can stop being so negative about this fucking movie. You label them well and I love you, but please don’t become what HiTop has become. He’s just become such a pessimist and it’s hard to watch him now, and he was my favorite UA-camr. Having an opinion is fine, making a video is fine, but don’t let an opinion become your quirk. Alex thinks him not liking MCU Spidey is so fucking cool. It’s not, now I’m sad. I love you man.
For me, I summarize my feelings as- this doesn’t feel like “Spider-man: the movie”, it feels closer to “Spider-man in the MCU”, and that last part is prioritized over the first, or simply overshadows the first part.
Mysterio is very good and feels perfect as a spider-man villain, one of the most memorable MCU villains for me due to his scenes, but Spider-mans interactions with him aren’t. I enjoy the movie when i forget what it could’ve been, Spider-man/Peter himself looks great and has cool action moments, the set-pieces are great, but then when I remember the full context and what it could’ve been, the movie kinda breaks my heart a little :/
I really, really hope they finally nail it with the 3rd one...frankly the “no secret identity” start doesn’t seem like a great base for a “spiderman” movie, but maybe, there is a small chance they use that “unique/twist” to make something special that will add to the history of the character.
@Erik Kemeey idk, i see that, but then you also have them getting a free trip around the world thanks to the threat of the elementals. You have MJ learn his identity and it enhancing their relationship, and you have him use star tech to make a new suit.
I'm not saying i want these things out of the movie, but for every potentially/mild bad thing, there's a positive almost immediately after.
You have peter struggle between his happiness and "super hero legacy", but he never really chooses one or the other. I don't feel there's moment in the film were he makes a tough choice because of responsibility, the movie is focused more on the legacy of stark, and it's nice to see Peter go through that but it also makes all his responsibility choices feel less of a choice and more of a mandatory thing .(the "stage-play/show" thing was sort of a moment, but because the way it's presented and what we know, it doesn't really have much weight...plus it's another thing they only got thanks to Peter's "job". Him and MJ are still gonna have a chance to spend time together later, he's still not really loosing something tangible/permanent, he's just experiencing the on-going conflict and suffering from feeling like he'll have to make a choice.
I'll give it some credit, he does have an inner conflict, there's _some_ sacrifice he commits to, but he still "got his cake and ate it too", in part because of what felt like the "mandatory legacy of stark", he didn't have a moment were he really lost something because of choosing his own self imposed responsibility.
You can see he somewhat does experience this via Mysterio revealing his identity at the end(despite him choosing to deactivate the drones and no longer use the glasses, that, i like), but we don't really see that affect him in this movie, so it's more of a "promise/tease" for the next movie rather then consequenses he suffers through in this one.
@Erik Kemeey like i said, i just felt it wasn't really "spiderman the movie".
I don't think it's terrible, i just think the direction they went kinda overlooked the potential they had.
Also- spiderman 2 ending is a happy one but it follows after peter loosing constantly and choosing to let go of MJ(who was gonna get a maried).
Spiderman 3 further shows how it's not a straight up win.
But hey, i don't need all movies to be the same, i just like spiderman who look like they are struggling and making really tough decisions despite them being punished for it. (It enhances how we percive their determination, a key trait of spiderman for me)
I don't need it to only be a drama, but spiderman has always been involved in some level of drama in practically all his stories(heck, Far from home has drama with the whole "tony stark" thing, it just doesn't accomplish a lot, so it's not really good drama :/). If done correctly, you can still have the fun "road-trip" style of movie Far from home is going for.
The part that bothers me about far from home is that Peter is still hesitant to help even after being told that the elementals have previously destroyed another earth obviously we know this is a lie but still he’d rather let the world possibly end just to be with MJ
This movie had great power, but lacked great responsibility.
Brilliant sum up
@@ATalesTruth- Thank you.
I always felt that Peter not becoming an active protaganist is due to the fact that he’s so beat after Infinity War and Endgame especially after Tony’s death. But I can respect and appreciate you and High Tops’ point of view in this case. Mad props for that excellent fix with Brad and Flash in the movie.
I really like Spider-Man: Far From Home. After watching this video, I can totally see why it gets so much hate. All that you've stated in this video, I can totally agree with. It's just the same as with the TASM movies for me, I for some reason don't find these points a bad thing for the movie. I think it's because the movies are different from what came before, I like to see new versions and see how they can make Spider-Man fresh and stand out from what came before. I loved Webb's Spider-Man, because it was very different from the typical Spider-Man story, and it was focused more on character, and that's usually what makes me love a movie. Characters are the most important to me in a story. Now, Far From Home has flaws, I see that. I agree, it misses the important elements of a Spider-Man story. And for some reason I am still able to look past those flaws and love it for what it is. It's different. I think that is why, it tries something new to keep it fresh, and it worked out in my opinion. I personally don't mind to see a character be changed drastically to make it original. I can see it as a new character, more so than a reincarnation of an already existing character. I think that's how I can love this movie and also see the flaws that it has
As long as you understand and know the flaws pointing them out so that the people making the films can improve that’s all that matters
