It's fitting with the times though. The bookworm-with-glasses-and-uppity-clothes type doesn't exist anymore. Was extinct years ago. I see nothing wrong with updating it to the teen demographic that is the 60s equivalent of a social outcast. As long as they don't distance his character to the point where they can't relate to his situation, it's going to be fine.Skateboarding "Punk rock (quoted from Webb?)" Peter who in the trailer looks like a weirdo with his hoodie on and taking notes super angsty. I can't help butat that. I mean, yeah Peter was a punk in Spidey 3, but at least he was under the influence.
Well, you do, but you can't. Because the movie's not out. But certainly to dismiss the possibility that they can explore areas of the lore that were only mildly hinted at in the books, or completely unbeknownst to the mainstream audiences... would be foolish. It is fiction after all, they can do whatever the hell they want to the story. Nothing stopping them from venturing out onto their own path.
While staples of the franchise, hardly essential. Their continuing presence is only supported by the writers beholden to their inclusion, but which almost never amounts to any significance on the story itself. I can appreciate the director cutting out the fat so to speak, instead of blindly following tradition. Allows much more focus on the integral elements. It's what made Casino Royale so great.
It's not a clash of tones if that's what you mean. I've seen the footage and sizzle reel today and everything flows well. It's serious, dark, light, and funny in all the appropriate moments and at the right levels. There's consistency in the presentation.
Well, you could say this of many directors' works prior to their breakout franchise. Raimi and Jackson come to mind. You never know what people are capable. Sometimes they just need to be given an opportunity to really show what they're able to do.
Right, so why get hung up on details like his taste in music or choice in clothing? The "hipster" as I understand it, is an branch-off from the nerd persona. The distinction being that it is tinged with personalization stemming from niche fashion trends and/or eclectic artistic taste. Ok...fine. Peter still gets picked on, his classmates still rag on him, and he is still a loner.
I don't know if these were rhetorical, but it's the wrong type of questions to ask. Inevitably it ultimately leads to one source: stereotyping.
I'm sorry.
The movie looks incredible!
Is that what you wanted to hear?!
lol Sorry I am stating my honest opinion. I'm not going to lie.
Who knows? Maybe the trailer will look good.
I figure I'll save space if I just say what I liked in the trailer.
The fighting stunts with Spider-Man look really cool.
The city cinematography at night is great.
Everything else, from the Buzz Lightyear lighting when he shoots his webs, to the ****ty Lizard, and the practical swinging (I thought that was good?) especially the one where he swings down into the street and back up. Oh. My. God.
I think this movie looks horrible! I'm sorry but I just can't like this. My heart was somewhat racing when I clicked play and I was cringing most of the time.
