actually ive decided that infinity war just needs to be 2.5 hours of peter parker trying his best to address various adult superheroes as politely as possible and struggling a lot. attempts range from “your majesty mr panther sir” (accepted with only a small twitch of the lips & shuri giggling a lot) to “starlord”, which earns him 2 hours of riotous mockery from a talking raccoon
Friendly reminder that Peter Parker’s true and only father and inspirational figure is his uncle Ben Parker not Tony Stark:
I really hope they bring him up in the next movie. When I say “I wanna see the Spider-Man origin story” I don’t think people always know what I mean – I don’t necessarily wanna see Uncle Ben get shot all over again, I wanna see Ben and May raising Peter, turning him into the hero he became. Because Spider-Man wouldn’t exist without those two. That origin story. Y’know?
I really hope that we see Gamora with the two Peters cause’ what I’m imagining is a little scene where she screams “PETER YOU IDIOT” then bby boy Parker just pops his head from some rubble and ever-so-innocently says “huh?” then Gamora’s expression turns soft and says in a really sweet voice “no, not you sweetie :))”
i think one of the best things about peter going “oh you’re using your made up name” to doctor strange is that, no, doctor strange is really a doctor and his last name really is ‘strange’ and he just had a teen in a spider-suit invalidate all of that and go “that’s clearly silly and fake”
I have exactly one (1) truly Salty Opinion about the MCU. I feel I should stick it under a cut so folks can scroll past it (it involves Tony.)
I hate hate haaaaaaate it when people refer to Tony as “Peter’s real father” or whatnot. Is he a good father figure? Absolutely! But Uncle Ben is Peter’s real father, despite his unflashiness and probable poverty, and I guess…
…as someone who most probably will end up being a adoptive parent, with all the trials and tribulations which go with that, I wish he was the one who got the “real” label.
That trailer for the Miles Morales animated movie got me thinking about what I would’ve done had I, via some bizarre time-travelling shenanigans, been in charge of the MCU once they got the rights to Spider-Man back.
Instead of retroactively making the ASM movies part of the MCU, an idea I know was floated… I’d have made the original Sam Raimi movies part of the MCU and then bring Miles Morales in, with Tobey Maguire’s Peter as his mentor. The first MCU Spidey movie would’ve been about MaguirePeter, now in his forties and married to Mary Jane, passing down his mantle to Miles.
Convoluted? Sure! But I bet I could have made it work. You know, if I had had access to aforementioned time travel
