TAS Peter Parker is at some points unlikable and creates problems via his own ego. I’m almost through Season 1 and I feel like they unintentionally wrote him as an ahole sometimes without realizing him. Jameson also comes off as an ahole sometimes , giving the Scorpion and Spider Slayer storylines happen a few episodes apart. Eddie Brock deserves happiness out of anyone in this show. He’s a realistic guy at the whims of aholes, and the most likable character in the series. This show almost makes me agree with the comics editorial (horrid thought) that Peter is a jerk.

Spectacular Peter Parker is more likable and anytime he ‘creates’ villains is mistakes from a lack of experience, and being blamed for stuff out of his control. Eddie lost me as sympathetic halfway through the first season, he should’ve just deleted Pete’s number. Harry is just a rich kid acting out for attention, nothing Peter did differently could’ve changed his outcomes. Liz is a mistake from the fact it was his first real relationship and of course he won’t handle it perfectly. This Peter, I wanted to end up happy.

FNSM Peter Parker is naive and in over his head, still learning to stand up for himself. He didn’t really agree to half the stuff Norman wanted, Norman just took one word answers and maybe as yes. His treatment of Nico is significantly better than how TAS Peter treats MJ or Felicia. The first mistake that might blow up in FNSM Peter’s face is doing nothing about Lonnie being in that gang, letting the guy get in too deep after Lonnie made time for him in the beginning. Hopefully with him cutting ties with Norman, we begin to see what he’s like as a hero independently not taking orders from a billionaire. It’s too soon to say what his endgame should be, it’s too early in his story. Waiting for the second season.

You can kinda see hints rewatching NWH they originally wanted the third Home movie to be a ‘normal’ solo third installment about Damage Control, before the brief Marvel/Sony breakup of 2019 and Covid,

There’s still remnants of it in NWH, they tried to do some of that story in the background in between all the multiverse stuff. DODC being the ones to arrest Peter and the subplot about Happy under investigation.

A lot of Brand New Day feel like they were making up for lost time with DODC, doing progress that was originally supposed to happen in Part 3, before Feige agreed to do Sony’s multiverse idea. I feel like in a pandemic free world, Metzger and Jean were supposed to be introduced at the beginning of Phase 4.

Peter outing the DODC for torturing enhanced individuals like Jean feels like a natural conclusion to his arc. He started out as the beneficiary of the system, working under strict Stark supervision, told to defer to the FBI on Vulture. He ends up his arc exposing the system for being corrupt and being the starting point for systemic change, the catalyst for MCU’s mutant saga. BND feels like a trilogy capper story.

They just waited to do it until they could shoot it safely without causing a superspreader event.

Thoughts?

Part of me feels like he would, cuz he adored Mary and would want to keep a piece of his mother in his life,

but no doubt Sheldon doesn’t see Christian teachings as morality, and he’d let his kid attend infrequently if a lot of his hockey games are on Sunday.

I also feel like his kids potentially disliking Beverly (cuz the series finale implies neither of them is a robotic genius like Sheldon) would lead Sheldon to re-evaluate his relationship, not lean on her childcare.

Thoughts?

For context, I’m referring to the u/Fanedit895 edit.

Just watched it tonight. Overall, I enjoyed it and thinks it accomplishes its goals. Removes Stark, fixes the Uncle Ben problem, and sands down MCU Peter’s impulsiveness to be a bit more comic accurate. The editing is seamless and you can show this edit to someone who hasn’t seen the original, and I don’t think they’d realize it’s a fanedit.

Most of the John Hughes Breakfast Club elements Watts was going for remain, so I think this still reflects the original director’s intent. In fact, they take more center stage here with Stark removed. You pay more attention to the supporting cast when Stark isn’t hovering over things.

Peter’s character development feels a little more tame here with the hero worship of Stark subplot removed, but at the same time, it still works as a movie about a hero overcoming main character syndrome, that his actions affect others and he unintentionally hurts people, physically and emotionally, with some of his efforts to help. Feels like he ends the film not necessarily ready to change, but at least more self aware he needs to learn how to manage this career without hurting people.

I liked the new opening with footage from FNSM and the new original credits. It was well edited and a major plus that made the film feel more Spider-Man and less MCU than the original

The animation after the credits was beautiful and you can tell it was hand drawn, an artist put love into it. Whoever did it deserves professional work in the entertainment industry. That was the highlight of the edit for me. Kudos!!!

Not many critiques for this edit tbh, since it’s largely the same movie. Maybe a few scenes leftover from the original weren’t warranted. Happy calling his mom could’ve been cut since Stark was cut, and the little of Karen the AI that remains could’ve gone too, she feels like a glorified cameo here. Just little critiques though

Overall, 9/10, I had fun watching it and with BND having just come out, it’s an interesting alternate way to revisit MCU Peter’s history, see how far he’s come.

Question is in the title. Without revealing spoilers, I kinda do want to see their friendship continue on, it’s new and interesting,

and Disney seems to not wanna add more supporting characters from Spider-man comics so she’s not taking anybody’s slot.

View Poll

Or will they deem the comic book movie schedule next year is too packed, it’s too soon after the Spider-Mondays re-releases in 2024 to put it in theaters again?

Could the four years alone isolating lead to MCU Peter being on Miguel’s side? (if Holland happens to be in BTSV). I feel like our Peter might be the sympathetic to the idea gets people killed after May’s death in NWH, thinking that he might’ve successfully averted similar outcomes for MJ and Ned.

Also if Peter asked Frank’s opinion before choosing whether to help Miles or Miguel, what would Frank say?

He’s in a crucial part of the film (I won’t spoil it), yet he didn’t mention it once while he was doing commentary for the NBA finals that week, not even a single name drop.

Could the movie have attracted more people and had bigger box office if he spoke up?

Feels like he fumbled using his platform to help the film.

The premise initially made me think the gimmick was Stuart messed with Leonard and Sheldon’s machine, and caused the events;

but then episode 2 felt like it was framing it as the guys caused this, they overwrote the original timeline and plunged Stuart into the multiverse with reckless experimentation

Thoughts?

Would MCU Spider-Man 5 be too soon after the Lord/Miller trilogy to try it?

A trip to 2099 would be cool, and BND seems to be making enough money that they could justify the CG budget to studio execs.

What would Marvel Studios need to do to dispel the notion that Spidey 2099 is evil?

Has anyone ever thought about making an edit where Obi-wan is the one true hero at the end?

I feel like that would be a better to end the film. Like him sabering Maul sets off a dead man’s switch that blows up the Trade Federation ship, and shuts down the droids.

He’s the main character carrying over from the OT, showing him going from a padawan following orders to being a guy who think can think for himself, he’s the hero who saves the day killing Maul, and decides to train Obi-wan to honor his master against the council’s wishes, would make for a stronger opening to the saga in my opinion.

Thoughts?

I want to buy it, I found the omnibus for a decent price, it sounds awesome, but I’m hearing about people on r/OmnibusCollectors saying it’s not worth it.

Thoughts?

What are the best Batman edits? I’ve only seen No Justice.

I want to find Batman Gotham’s Knight from Firemerk but I’ve been having no luck.

If anyone has a good Batman edit, I’d appreciate a gdocs streaming link.

Would anyone happen to have a Google docs or Vimeo streaming link for this edit? I’m not big on downloading but I really want to watch it.

I tried a Spark of Hope, but I couldn’t get into it after hearing AI Luke. With all due respect to the editor, I felt icky and like I should just watch the original.

What are the best TROS edits with zero AI? Preferably a Rey Nobody edit too.

Uh if anyone has a google docs streaming link to a good edit, I’d appreciate it.

Question is in the title.

Could T’Challa, Shuri, and Queen Ramonda last a week in the woods with no Royal guard or any royal security?

I remember seeing these two edits on Firemerk, I wanted to watch them but the videos were private.

Uh if anything has them, can I get a google docs streaming link? Thanks in advance. I own the original movies.

This is a review of u/DatabaseWise8723 edit of NWH

Overall, this edit achieves its goal. The removal of the multiverse elements were very well done, besides one leftover reference to the Statue of Liberty with Jameson.

This felt like a TV episode without the amount of footage cut.

Damage Control comes off like hostile enforcement here. They blow up Peter Parker’s building completely unprovoked, and they arrest Happy for no reason when he’s presumably getting ready for trial with Matt. They accept help from a conspiracy theorist (Jameson). Removing the supervillains made this storyline more emotional, the edit gets a thumbs up for that. With the rise of ICE in the US right now, this hits close to home.

Damage Control does feel like kinda one note corrupt law enforcement here though. If you do a version 2, some scenes from Ms. Marvel honestly might help, since that show goes into their motivations more. You could also maybe consider including some scenes from Daredevil to give him more of an arc.

The pacing doesn’t entirely work cuz it’s all drama and no action, but based on the nature of the edit, I consider this.

The spell does feel like it happened too fast. You could’ve kept a little of the Dr. Strange scene to make it feel more natural. Maybe have him visit Strange at the beginning, they decide to listen to Wong and not do the spell. Then come back after May dies and do it.

Overall, I give this an 8/10. It’s an interesting alternative way to revisit the movie.
