Well, I didn't see him but I think the Tupperware container on his lap filled with cup cakes would have allayed my fears.
I'm not up on Marvel comics, so I wouldn't recognise Deadpool.
I do see lots of little boys dressed as Spiderman though.

Of course  the actual bigots don't need reasons to be bigots, but a lot of people are still very ignorant about gender dysphoria and trans issues in general, and without being properly educated or doing their own research, they could come to misguided conclusions about trans people and buy into transphobic rhetoric because of things like otherkin that muddies the waters.  Nicole is absolutely correct here. It's difficult enough to educate people on trans issues as it is, we don't need to make it worse for them.
Moreover, it's just never a good idea to feed into delusions in general.

[Rahxephon91]

When you're watching Maguire's Spider-Man you want him to succeed because you've seen what a struggle his life is in real human terms and you feel a deep unconscious sympathy for him.

Don't know who could feel sorry for Holland's Spider-Man. He's not poor, women throw themselves at him, he's not bullied, he doesn't lose his uncle, it's not even touched on that he's an orphan, and his Aunt doesn't need his help.

I don't pity him and you're not supposed to. These movies aren't going for that kind of pathos. They are teen movies about a young Super-hero trying to balance life. You are supposed to find him enduring because his everyday problems are more relatable then Iron Man. This character dosen't exist in the MCU either. This is a perfectly fine take, in keeping with other Spider-man stories. If you don't like you still have the comics, the Rami movies, and even a nice big budget PS4 game that do not follow this take. It is not the status quo.

literally arguing about the underlying thematic struggles in a spiderman film.

[Rahxephon91]

You know, bitching about people arguing or talking seriously about "low art" things is dumb. You don't get cool points (especially since you're doing it on a video game spin off forum) and speaks to your own low vision. Every creative thing has merit and low art vs high art is a pointless argument. Talking seriously about one thing does not mean someone can't see that there are things of a bit higher quality either.

But I know, it's better to be cynical about everything.

Look out! Here comes the Spiderman.

Is he strong? Listen, bud.
He's got radioactive blood.
Can he swing, from a thread?
Take a look overhead.
Hey, there! There goes the Spiderman!

In the chill of night, at the scene of a crime
like a streak of light
he arrives, just in time!

Spiderman, Spiderman
friendly neighborhood Spiderman.
Wealth and fame? He's ignored.
Action is his reward.

[Himu]

If you want me to get extra dorky and somewhat pretentious about Spider-Man

The whole relatable shit and every man aspect of Peter all feed into the real defining thing about him that they keep hammering bluntly so people can get it. The whole "With great power comes great responsibility" thing is all about how Pete constantly slips and has to relearn that lesson, sometimes learns it the hard way. If you want to be more optimistic it's a character that always gets back up no matter how many times shit happens to him.

You can still do that with him being a teen, sure, but that narrows shit down usually. Plus having prom and class field trips be central parts to whatever stories he's going through is kinda "eh" to a dude like me who is far removed from that shit.

I remember being a teenager and being able to go on class trips across Europe. Very relatable stuff there.

I mean Peter Parker also isn’t a trans person who loves bbc videos. You aren’t going to find everything relatable to him.

But what actually happens in the movie. His stuff with trying to live up to your inspirations, make time for a social life, awkward romance. Those are everyday things that people can relate to. Those are aspects of the character.

But yes get stuck on the fact that he is just a middle class white guy in these movies and not dirt poor.

B

Lmao what does liking dick have anything to do with a man struggling to pay the bills

Are you daft lmao

That teenage awkward romance crap sounds juvenile compared to a grown person trying to make ends meet while juggling this and this and that. Lmao what in the FUCK

[Rahxephon91]

How?

It's the same shit. It's not like it's anymore complex. Same shit, different age brackets.

Oh yeah because Peter Parker asking Aunt May for money and being in college is so much more nuanced...

You just think it's better.

Either way I don't care. I get to enjoy good Spider-man movies and have what I want while all you can do is bitch about how they don't cater to you. So I win. See you next time where you pretend to care about some property and then bitch about how it's not catering to you.

Lmao what does liking dick have anything to do with a man struggling to pay the bills

No, it was more to point out that you're constant crying about a premise of a movie you've never seen is stupid. Character's don't have to be involved or be about 100% of the same crap your about to be relatable. I've never been on a class trip to Europe. I've also never been to a science focused high school. I know both things happen to kids of not just upper middle class America though. Doesn't take away from the reltable aspect of Holland Spider-man. What's funny is you complain about Holland, but then praise Spider-Verse. Which both feature a teen Spider-man from pretty similar backgrounds.

[Coffee Dog]

MCU spidey didnt even have to deal with relatable problems. All of the kids in his class clearly like him more than flash thompson, every person in his social circle is more than equipped to be supportive of his innermost secrets, and he hits it off great with all the women he's interested in.  Everyyhing just sort of works out very conveniently in his personal life, all of his drama in these films relates purely to the dangers of his superhero life. He isn't worried about mundane shit.

[Rahxephon91]

And Rami Spider-man got to fuck Mary Jane and marry her despite years of him wasting her time. All your versions of Spider-men are full of shit one way or another.

But I know, it’s cool to shit on the MCU because nerds on Ree act like it’s the gospel.

Yeah pretty crazy that in a Superhero movie the main dude gets the love interests.

And I actually found that more believable. I’ve been to high school. It’s not full of bullies beating up people like in Hollywood movies. It’s full of teens of being awkward and being in their own world. With dudes making jokes about others. Also his school is a “smart” school.

You can tell more complex stories with an adult Peter. Teenage peter is stuck living at home. While there’s a storyline early in Amazing Spider-Man comics when Aunt May is in the hospital and can’t afford her mortgage Peter helps pay for her bills, we don’t see that in the movies.

And that’s the most drama that can potentially have with a teenage Peter.

Adult Peter has to pay for college, juggle his girlfriend and later wife, support his aunt while working as a photographer, and risking his life every damn night. Peter drops out of college. He is among the first superheroes to get married. Him and Mary Jane strike a relationship so tight and it’s a bigger bond than anyone can believe teenagers are capable of having.

So um yes, they are better. Every Spider-Man story that’s famous happened when he was an adult. Ultimate Spider-Man takes many of them of them but most are a shell compared to their previous selves because of the limited nature of telling a story of a teenage superhero. You can’t tell stories of them having sex for instance.

Remember the time Peter and MJ’s BABY DIED?

I wonder why a spider-man fan doesn’t about the prospects of a teenage spider-man. Yeah I think it’s better. So what? I have a right to my opinion.

You're saying its more "believable", but these are movies about a spider person. Believability doesnt mean shit, relatability is key. Ive never had a bully punch me in the face and steal my lunch, but i know how it feels to be victimized and look around at a room full of unsympathetic and unsupportive faces. I know how it feels to be alone. Thats why even though these stories are 50 years old they still carry dramatic weight.

 Do you know what i dont relate to? Some poser calling me penis parker while my squad of mathletes laugh in his face and back me up. That isnt a struggle. Its hardly even a conflict. Its a vestigal remnant of a different interpretation of the character that accomplishes the opposite effect (it shows exactly how not alone MCU Peter is) in the context of the newer film. "The tale of the boy with the rock solid support system" is not compelling nor empathetic.

And, goddammit, Raimi spider-man took two movies to fuck mary jane, and over the course of both he fucks up big time repeatedly. Neither MCU film even dedicate enough time to MJ for there to be a workable plotline, far from home is entirely meet cute stuff and the first film is too split between MJ and the vultures daughter girl that Peter forgot about because he's an asshole.

Well with as someone with a solid support system and a non shitty life. I find MCU Peter relatable. Sorry you don’t. I don’t care. We’ve had decades of the same shit. Go back to those. This is the current movie Spider-man. It’s not even the only Spider-man. Go play the PS4 Spider-man to get your woe is me jollies or better yet watch your shitty Rami movies.

Stan for constantly failing upwards adult Peter brehs  so relatable

That being said, MCU Peter being handed everything and no longer needing to make his own suits is definitely a downer. That would be one positive  thing if they have to all but get rid of any MCU connections, they'd be forced to write him as someone who needs to make his own shit again.

Weird movement.

Pia Schiavo-Campo, who posts from Los Angeles about style and culture on Instagram and blogs at Mixedfatchick.com, isn’t a fan of dieting, before-and-after pictures or the lack of dialogue from fat-acceptance influencers about weight loss. As someone who has struggled with an eating disorder for the better part of 30 years, she’s triggered by diet talk and conflicted about weight turnarounds, especially those not directly addressed

Social justice has lost its shit. This isn’t social justice

“Your weight loss posts are too triggering for me, I’m sure you understand,” Holliday explained in a private reply earlier this year. “It’s not personal.”

one of the blessings of transition is seeing that women are just as big assholes as men. Man is shit and Earth is our toilet bowl.

[Potato]

Being sympathetic of people's feelings is one thing, but allowing people to get away with self-destructive behaviour in the name of not offending (or triggering - I mean what the fuck is that bullshit?) them is just really really fucking dumb.

People who do dumb shit that is harmful to themselves should not be treated with kid gloves, they should be told to stop fucking doing stupid shit and to get their shit together, develop some resilience, and solve their problems.
