I think the one difference with your number 2 is Peter saved their asses and got the guy arrested. While also saving the city in the process. It's one thing to go off do something with his tech he gave him while also causing a terrible accident and when the feds were in on it. But vulture was still moving unchecked. And he did it on his own without anyone helping him

My issue with it, though, was that he didn't demonstrate that he learned anything from his first failure, he just tried the exact same thing again and luckily succeeded with it the second time.

If they had had Peter use teamwork with Happy/Iron-Man/the FBI in some way in the 3rd act, it would have made more sense to me because it would have shown that he took Tony's chastisement to heart and matured from the half-cocked youngster he was at the beginning of the film.

Instead, what we basically got from Tony in the end was, "Disobey me all you want, as long as you get results". Which seems like a weird lesson for a mentor/father-figure to be imparting to his charge.

Had he did that though it would've robbed him of his moment where he realized he could do something like that on his own without anyones help. What you're saying makes sense though but the moment isn't him needing to know the "proper" way to do things as its supposed to be him still doing his thing. Even when he saved the kids at the monument, Tony was ready to give him props. But it wasn't just the fact he went after the vulture when he told him not to but that he lied about it. I feel like Tony respected the fact the kid went out on his own and did his thing using nothing but his intelligence and his web shooters and his guts. He saw something bad was going down and he saved the day. And you're right, lol Tony isn't a great mentor/father figure which I think is the other point the movie is making. He's a good dude but he's also reckless his damn self and he'd do the same thing if he were peter but do it a lot sloppier probably

Saw the movie Friday night really enjoyed it. I loved the tie-ins with the other Marvel movies. I thought score was lacking though and forgettable, I think they should of added on to the Spider-Man theme that Henry Jackman created with Civil War.

:ohhh:Oh, another thing I learned.....

dont bother communicating your plans to have the FBI intervene with an illegal alien weapon deal with the 1 person who originally warned you about it, so you can advance a plot

movie should could have ended on the spot had your mentor just communicated with you

Just watched it. Best Spiderman movie hands down.

As someone who was readin his comics 20 years ago and stopped caring for the character, this movie made me a fan again.

Not just bc of the character but the great supporting casf. all the kids were on point and Zendaya is a homerun as MJ

I look forward to what they have in store

after 9+ years of cleaning up alien tech, the gov will finally create a "cleanup crew" called the damage control unit for no apparent reason

:what:

Even you can't be this fukking stupid.

The Damage Control shyt happens immediately following the battle in NY, not 8 years later.

$117M estimate OW domestic and $257M WW.


Good stuff but after that $50M Friday I was expecting more,seems every site over predicted this after Friday.

Shows how unreliable tracking is,its all basic guess work.


Hard to get a handle on how this will do long term even because its a staggered release


Domestically should be interesting. Word of mouth is great,but it does have stiff competition the next few weeks.



Interesting side note I was expecting wonder woman's crazy legs to finally be cut off this weekend like wonder woman did to gotg 2 but it still had an insane hold. It has a real chance of crossing $400M domestic and passing the first spider man

Think this might end up being my second favorite MCU movie, after Winter Soldier.

Still have Ironman very high, so time will tell. It's really close and I generally don't change my opinions THAT much after first viewings:

Guardians 1

Yup tony said he was trying to do what his father never did and that he wanted parker to be better. Honestly tony's parts werent a big distraction and i like that his suit actually had some kind of tech in it besides being a kid in spandex considering all the shyt we see in the MCU it wouldnt be fair.

Tony being a dyck talmbout vulture is below their pay grade like falcon aint the same damn thing as vulture :mjlol:
