'Emo Peter' vs 'Raindrops' montages

[Mr Jide]

emo peter was a vastly superior montage. It was just flat out funny and more entertaining to watch.

 

[JayTee]

What kills me about all this talk of Emo-Peter is that, traditionally, the nerdy glasses short hair look is much more "emo". So is pining after a girl who has a boyfriend.

Spider-Man 2 was worlds more emo than 3.

 

[Mr. Socko]

That's got to be the worst case of stereotype misuse.

No, saying that a man with a towel on his head is Arab is the worst case of stereotype misuse.

THANK GOD some of you are finally starting call B.S on "EMO" Parker. I have said it before, THAT HAIRSTYLE DID NOT START WITH EMO KIDS!!!! The hair over the eye thing predates the whole emo trend by about 50 years. If anything Raimi was trying to make him look like a greaser or more likely a sleazy jazz guy. And the dark eyes were supposed to refer to a drug addicts eyes. Some of you seem to be so brainwashed by MTV that you think anyone with hair over the eyes is "Emo". Guess what? I used to rock that style and it had nothing to do with Thursday or Fall out Boy and had more to do with a New Jersey Punk band called The Misfits. Though I am sure most of you never heard of them because they never played em' on the teevee.

 

[Mr. Socko]

I think I remember the Misfits playing on tv once...

BTW, I gotta say I didn´t like the emo montage but I liked the jazz dance scene. In that moment, it was okay for Pete to be a show off, he was trying to impress and hurt MJ at the same time. But walking on the street shaking his booty and pointing at chicks was a little too over-the-top for me.

 

[ultimatefan]

How is he "emo-Peter" in that scene. There is nothing "emo" about hip thrusting, dancing, gauking and hooting at women and pushing nice Polish girls around...if anything he is the Anti-Emo in that scene.

Which is why I don´t get the emo look thing... Once Peter goes dark, he doesn´t behave at all like an emo... Instead of whiney and depressed, he´s cocky, womanizing and aggressive, how´s that emo?

No that's just plain bad stereotyping, this is stereotype misuse.

 

[Joker]

You have no idea how much I laughed at that. LOL!

And we say Emo because of his hair style, mascara, and dressing in all black.

the hair style isnt emo, the emo style is more a bowl cut, he just has part of his hair over his face...it's more of a toned down Flock Of Seagulls hair cut if it's anything.

He isnt wearing masscara, the suit darkens the area around his eyes. This was achieved by using masscara, yes, but in the context of the film it's not make up.

Alot of people dress in all black. Was Johnny Cash emo?

And none of those 3 things are what makes a person emo, you f**king ******s.

 

[Joker]

No that's just plain bad stereotyping, this is stereotype misuse.

exactly...this is more like going over to a dark skinned native american and telling him to go eat water melon and fried chicken cause black people like him love that stuff...it's nonsensical.

 

[El Payaso]

Yeah the "Raindrops" montage actually was funny. The emo/ symbiote Peter scenes and montage was just...awkward. Thats the best I can explain it. You kinda smiled at first, but then it kept going and going .......and going....and... what the hell, Peter is humping the air...and going....

It just failed.

The Raindrops was right in the limit when fun starts becoming annoying. Emo Peter is beyond words, no sequence was so damn unfunny and more pointless that this one. Becuase it's not only that it was common and vulgar but replacing what could have been serious and quite intense instead.

It was like Batman doing an orphan jokes routine (since his parents were killed) in Batman Begins instead of showing his tyrauma and grief.

 

[spider-neil]

emo spidey and by a distance.

whilst 'raindrops' pused the story and was funny especially when the camera holds on pete for a second the emo spidey section almost had me crying with laugher.

* pointing the finger at passing girls
* cookies
* hip thrusting coming out of the shop
* shoes on JJJ's desk
* BB flirting
* 'gonna cry little goblin
* 'OOOHH!!!'
* jazz dancing

that whole section for me had me laughing more than any thing previously in spidey one and two in fact I only stopped laughed when pete hits mj which shut me up smartly (and the audience who were also rolling with laugher)

so laugher plus shock imho equals better, funnier moments than either of the preious movies.

My band opened for The Misfists. My fave song by them is Astro Zombies, and if memory serves me correctly, OLD Afi used to sport the hair over one eye as well.

your band opened for probably the new misfits...it's not the same

I went into the third film expecting a darker movie, and the harry vs peter thing to reach a whole new level. So when I saw how they potrayed evil I was shocked. I thought I was watching a bad 70's movie. I think the Raindrops one worked a lot better, because he was going back to that "care free" life that Peter always wanted to live.

Also, messing up his hair in the mirror might of been the cheesiest shot in all the Spider-Man movies.

 

[Joker]

He wasnt "evil" per say. He was definitly darker. He used women as if they were nothing, was a total a**hole to pretty much EVERYONE, and there was that whole thing where he attempted to murder the Sandman.

 

[Giuse86]

You're right, only one of them was from the original Misfits. It's still something cool to brag about.

 

[Joker]

no...it's really not ...lol

 

[Sun_Down]

You don't think the intention of the 'Emo Peter' montage was for it to be goofy?

It sure as hell came off as goofy, but it was a pathetic attempt to show his "bad" side.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

thet were both awesome and funny. I think the raqindrops scene had alot of laughs and so did the Emo Peter so I'm going to go with Emo Peter.

 

[dodus]

We're calling him emo Parker because he was the spitting image of Conor Oberst. End of story. Let's not get into music classification semantics about how unique and misunderstood our own personal musical stylings are, emo's not that deep people.

Agreed! Also, when he told ursula to go and actually MAKE him more cookies was hilarious.

 

[Joker]

yes, emos not that deep, and Peter WAS NOT EMO

 

[Alexia Dark]

Hmm. There seem to be some different standpoints here. From a story perspective, Raindrops was far more... appropriate. The Dork Side Dance as I would call it, was more enjoyable to watch. In SM2, the second and third times I watched it, I would crouch down and look at the floor with my ears covered. During SM3, I continually had to keep looking and laughing.

It was like the most stupid, idiotic dirty comedy that you hate to death but can't help but laugh at it. I voted for The Dork Side Dance, simply because even though I hate it, I didn't cringe when I watched it.

Raindrops = Shorter =
