I’ve realized: I want to ask you the top 5 things meme specifically for the Spider-Man fandom. -windona

Oooh neat. Well it is a huge and ancient fandom, so there’s a lot to wanna change….

1) Stop pitting the women against each other! MJ, Gwen, Felicia, they’re all great so just quit it. Yes, even you, Emma Stone

2) PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP making gross rape-y porn of the female characters. I see it every fucking time I go in the tag for any of the Spider-Man women and I am SO sick of it. Actually that should really be #1. I would change that in a heartbeat if I could

3) (I’m noticing a trend here) Stop judging the actresses cast to play Spider-Man characters by their looks! Shaliene Woodley got it for being “ugly”, Zendaya apparently has “the wrong skin colour” etc (which is racism as well obviously), and even back in the old days I remember Mageina Tovah being mocked for her looks even though she wasn’t even playing a main or canon character. (Not that that should make a difference.) It’s so wrong.

4) Please no more “fake geek girl” nonsense, luckily I’ve never seen it much but when I have it’s mostly been from male Spidey fans and CHANGE. IT.

5) … actually this whole thing can be summed up by “less misogyny in general” Also less ableism and racism and homophobia and general bigotry please, though I suppose every single big fandom has that :(

:D I’ll do the Raimiverse!

1) Remove that homophobic joke (”That’s a nice outfit, did your husband make it for you?”) from Spider-Man 1. Peter is not a homophobe

2) Have more people of colour in the franchise, we are in New York

3) More Ursula. Seriously, I really think one more small scene of her in Spider-Man 3 somewhere (watching the big fight on TV?) would’ve been great, but it didn’t happen

4) LESS PLOT HOLES there are so many of them

5) …..God thinking about it that’s pretty much all I would change? So I’ll do one for the Spider-Man fandom in general! STOP PITTING MJ AND GWEN AGAINST EACH OTHER THEY WERE FRIENDS

cracked:

Despite the fact that Trump has not (to date) flown around on a Halloween-themed hoverboard while wearing a goblin costume and hurling bombs at people, he does have a lot in common with Norman Osborn. Both of them are business tycoons who live in giant towers in New York City.

Both of them also have a thing for blondes who are much younger than them. Trump, despite looking like an embalming accident, is married to a former model 25 years his junior, while Osborn had an affair with Spider-Man’s girlfriend, Gwen Stacy. Both these turns of events are equally inexplicable.

So strong is this blonde obsession, in fact, that it even leads these powerful men to desire (or repeatedly joke about desiring) women they should stay the hell away from. Osborn once impregnated his son’s girlfriend, while Trump’s own family weirdness is somehow even more off-putting. We’re not going to detail every sexual comment he’s made about his daughters here, because 1) there are already enough articles about that, and 2) holy shit there are multiple articles about that.

And finally, one has pumpkin bombs, while the other simply resembles a pumpkin.

But wait. Wacky looks, lavish buildings, younger women, incestuous overtones – we’re describing every millionaire ever here, aren’t we? Sure, but that’s only the beginning.

How Marvel Predicted Trump’s Rise Almost 10 Years Ago

“Green Goblins don’t exist in real life, but Norman Osborns definitely do.” – me in a post two years ago, blissfully unaware of the awfulness to come

Has anyone ever written a version of the “Why NY Loves Spidey” article we see at the start of the third film? idk it feels like something that could be fanficc’d, funly. -taiey

Oooh, are you watching the third one? :D

I would write it. I would totally write it. Heck, years and years ago I wrote a Spider-Man fanfic that was kind of made up of bits of articles and interviews and stuff. (There’s a name for that kind of story, but I can’t remember what it is.) Maybe I should put it on AO3…

ok Sarah so I decided to liveblog not in your inbox

Keep reading

LOVE THIS. You know what, I think you might like Spider-Man 3 as well. We can form a little gang of People Who Love That Weird But Gloriously Sincere Movie.

PS it’s always been my headcanon that Aunt May threw away Peter’s comic books knowing it might hurt his feelings or bug him. Because he’d just confessed to something so awful, and she was angry, and she was upset… and all she could do was throw away his comics.

Sarah what’s your headcanon for… just… Norman’s death and what on earth Harry thinks happened, did he know his dad was the goblin? how do you get from “impaled by the golbin’s scooter thing” to “spiderman killed him”?? -taiey

aaah you’re watching it! I’m loving this mini liveblog

Well, in the last movie Spider-Man returns Norman’s body to his house minus any Goblin equipment but with a very large stab wound through him, and Harry sees him with the body and (not liking Spider-Man much anyway) decides he killed him

Why he doesn’t jump to the very obvious conclusion (my awful dad was this awful supervillain!) let’s put it down to denial. :(

Wait, is that headcanon? That scene was not in the version I watched, but maybe it got cut.

it’s at the end of the first Spider-Man! When Harry yells “what have you done” and grabs a Conveniently Nearby Gun, only for Peter to disappear before he can shoot

Must’ve been cut when they put it on VHS. Which is… an unfortunate omission. Like. I could not imagine any way this worked–what was Norman wearing, when Pete delivered him? Did he take him out of the Goblin suit at some point?

Here’s the scene in screencaps:

It was like a six-second-long scene. Should’ve been longer. >:(
