The Amazing Spider-Man TASM Footage Description Thread!

Well yes, most decent people attend to a crying baby in their immediate vicinity. But now that I know it's only for attention, I'll let you "cry it out".

Yet you continue to reply...

 

[chaseter]

Spider-man has been wanted by the police in the comics.

He never turns himself in. Isn't that breaking the law?

Well with that straw man, Spidey could pull down women's shirts, kick dogs, smoke pot, beat up old ladies....because he didn't turn himself in as a vigilante ala breaking the law. Really?

 

[SnuffTheRooster]

So you're saying leaving his symbol on a wall is like beating up old ladies?

 

[chaseter]

Oh so its in character if you think Peter Parker has some sort of vendetta against them? It makes perfect sense to me. I definitely see it in his character. Using the symbol to raise awareness. Its sort of like how Batman has the bat symbol, except, you know, illegal. But Spider Man is stopping criminals and breaking laws anyhow, so why should it matter?

I can show you a lot of examples of Spider-Man humiliating JJJ or letting a bad guy do something humiliating to JJJ before Spider-Man puts a stop to it before actual harm is done.

Spider-Man is not Batman or V for Vendetta.

So you're saying because he is doing one illegal thing it's okay for him to do other illegal things?

Your argument is that Spiding tagging is unlawful which is the biggest reason he wouldn't do it.

But Spider-man has broken the law when he's seen fit so why would he refuse to tag Daily Bugle billboards knowing they unfairly slander him?

And your argument is that because Spider-Man is a vigilante (breaking the law) then that is the biggest reason he would do it. What's one more little law broken amirite?

Which one sounds more like Spider-Man? Spider-Man is a vigilante because he feels it's the right/moral thing to do. If spray painting spiders over town is the right/moral thing to do then you win.

Spider-Man is not Batman or V for Vendetta.

He's not Bibleman or Robocop either.

He's still a teenage prankster with superpowers.

My argument is that Parker would be fustrated with the Daily Bugle slandering his heroics and making him a public enemy who has to evade police to fight crime. He would have no problem tagging a Daily Bugle billboard or wanted poster if he felt the slander directed toward him was an injustice.

 

[Troy_Parker]

Meh, I'm not that bothered about Spidey tagging the Daily Bugle billboards. Again, I'll say this, there was a casting call a while back for young graffiti artists (speaking roles).

Yeah. He probably gets them to spread the word or they are inspired by his heroics and begin tagging his symbol.

 

[craigdbfan]

Seeing Spider-Man tagging anything would be a giant failure of understanding the character.

Other people doing the tagging I don't really mind so much. John Blake in TDKR will be doing that with the Bat insignia although the circumstance in that scenario are very different (city being torn apart by civil divide along with a WMD threatening to destroy the entire city).

Agreed.

 

[kickass]

I don't mind seeing spiderman tagging at all. I think it brings a much rebellious and ballsy aspect to the character that Tobey Maguire never really had.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I say people who suggest Spider-man would never tag think the character is a complete boy scout. He's a little more independent than that.

 

[TheWallCrawler]

what is the problem? What is this tagging thing you are talking about? You mean that Peter did those graphiti spidey symbols himself? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? because I don't honestly care

 

[sweetre15]

Especially since New York is the birthplace of hip-hop culture, which Graffiti was an original element of

 

[craigdbfan]

Ugh no.

There's nothing "rebellious" or "ballsy" about tagging. Beating the **** out of criminals and humiliating them with comical banter on the other hand meets those requirements far more. Thankfully we've heard Spider-Man does all of those in this movie.

Taking names rather than spray painting them on walls to be a "rebel" (derp) is a thousand times more imposing.

Spider-Man is above tagging seeing as he's a damn superhuman and can just web a criminal/oppressor up or just beat them to a pulp.

If random punks want to tag in a way of showing support by all means go ahead but Spider-Man himself shouldn't enact in such idiocy. He's above that.

 

[AnneFan]

Again, I'll say this, there was a casting call a while back for young graffiti artists (speaking roles).

I think that's what this is. But we'll see.

 

[kickass]

When ppl say a certain character would never do this or never do that, they limit the boundaries and development that character can ever achieve. Anyone can do anything when faced wth certain situations and pushed in certain directions.

 

[Troy_Parker]

If Spidey is indeed behind it... I'm going to look at it as a modern version of the spider-signal. Y'know, warning enemies that he's in the neighborhood and whatnot, which I'm sure is what they intended it to be.

 

[craigdbfan]

Um no it's just flat out uncharacteristic. That's not limiting as in his entire span in any form of media he's never done something so petty when he has a much more defining arsenal than a spray can to define his stance on battling criminality and injustice.

Graffiti does nothing to further his standing as someone trustworthy in NYC. Like Troy already mentioned the graffiti is being done by random graffiti artist tagging the Spider insignia as a way to show support in all likelihood.

Spider-Man himself doesn't need to do it as it comes across as self serving and quite frankly stupid.

Exactly. If he wants to promote, he'd make a FB page or something. Using a computer thats not his of course.

 

[bullets]

I think he stumbles upon it as someone mentioned.

 

[TheWallCrawler]

the movie has proven to be awesome, but you're complaining about Spidey tagging... really people?
