Homecoming The Next Spider-Man - - - - Part 13

I know.

But people were thinking since he acknowledged it, that means he's out.

Not sure how that works.

NDA. If he's in the running, he's not allowed to talk about or acknowledge it in that capacity.

NDA. If he's in the running, he's not allowed to talk about or acknowledge it in that capacity.

right, i haven't seen the tweets but if all he did was acknowledge support, he's not breaking any ndas.

 

[PeterBenParker]

NDA. If he's in the running, he's not allowed to talk about or acknowledge it in that capacity.

Even just to say "Thank you"?

 

[dony2012]

That is true. First off, they might not even know they are good looking but might have a poor self image. Also, if they lack confidence, then even if they are physically attractive, girls might not be attracted to them, especially if they have nerdy interests and seem rather weird and like a loner. So that would just add to the poor self esteem and reinforce the idea in Peter's head that he isn't good looking, even though in reality he could be.

And then there's peer pressure too. If Flash is already established as the school jock and the popular kid, then if he feels threatened in some way by the presence of Peter Parker and wants to make his life difficult, everyone is going to side with Flash and agree with whatever he says about Peter, even if some don't actually believe it is true. It takes a lot of strength of character to stand up for what is right.

It's only when Peter gains the confidence as Spider-Man that girls might start looking at him differently, because he's less withdrawn and more sociable, and people can actually see his physical appearance in a new light. And with more self acceptance, he also does become more attractive. If before, he thinks he's someone that no-one wants to date, then who are they to disagree with him? But once he starts seeing himself as eligible, then the girls might give him a chance. It's the same way in real life.

Yeah, and both Lerman and O'Brien who are good looking guys said they were bullied in high school because of them being shy and awkward.

He's still linking himself to the role in the same way that Mateur Ward did when he retweeted those pictures of himself as spidey and Billy Unger when he instagrammed himself with #spiderman

Which isnt typical behavior of a top contender.. look at Boseman, Rudd and Cumberbatch

I wouldn't say it's in the same though. if somebody tweeted to me on Twitter that he hopes that I would become the next Spider-Man and I was in the running, I would say thank you.

 

[Pecola1]

The only thing that has ever been truly consistent with Peter is the fact that he's Caucasian and that he has brown hair, that's it.

Spoiler

Sometimes he's looked more handsome, sometimes not so much.

Exactly! I tried saying that a bit earlier,but those pics help a lot. The 4th one down though... he looks more jocky than I ever thought he could be in a CB. If someone set that up to some actor and claimed 'he looks just like spiderman' I would not wan't that actor. Besides, that CB strip makes him look too much like a model... that's not even mentioning that the one 2 from the bottom is pretty popular to spidey fans, yet looks more on the attractive side. (BT dubs he totally looks like Chamalet)

Or in the case to the one of the actors I said would make a great PP/Spidey, favorite and retweet it. t:

 

[Mumei]

Peter has mostly been portrayed as charmingly handsome (mind you, not model looking), not only in drawings but also in how girls and women are attracted to him. Making Peter "ugly" just to make him a more believable bully victim (which it wouldn't) would be less true to the comic book material if you ask me.

Oh, he's sometimes model-looking.

Right. It doesn't necessarily rule him out, but it isn't the sort of deflecting behavior we usually see.

Happy to help.

Pretty much.

 

[dony2012]

Yeah, even that.

Anything that might implay he's in the running.

 

[PeterBenParker]

Spoiler

.

Funny enough, the second pic is what a lot of "O'Brien for Spidey" fans use to compare the two.

 

[PeterBenParker]

Yeah, even that.

Well, then.

I mean, pulling a Lerman and blabbing off about it is one thing, but that also counts? Yikes.

 

[ernesth100]

When you, think about it. This isnt some two bit cheap superhero fan film. This is SPIDER MAN. We're talking gaurenteed millions at the box office. And million dollar checks for whoever plays Parker. Not to mention the fun. It's fun pretending to be Spidey. God knows how many actors jumped on board trying to land the role. It could literally be anyone or no one we mentioned.

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

Yeah, even that.

Anything that might implay he's in the running.

i dunno man. If that's the case, marvel should come at Vince and tell him he was in the wrong for that tweet in the first place

Based in these pics, Asa will need to improve his eyebrows. I never realized that Peter had these weird eyebrows, much darker than the hair.

 

[dony2012]

How is it his fault? LOL!

That wouldn't be an issue at all if he weren't in the running at all.

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

by showing support he's apparently hinting that the guy's got the role. To me it's the same as the contender being in the wrong for saying thank you.

I was mostly trying to prove a point that the actor portraying Peter Parker doesn't need to be this bombshell of handsomeness.

The character has had multiple designs over the years, and the only thing that has remained consistent is his race and hair color.

Aside from that, he can be 5'10" or he could be 5'5"/5'6".
He can have brown/hazel eyes, or he could have blue/green eyes.
He can be a bit more defined or a bit more lanky.
He can be handsome and charming, or average and dorky.

There's a reason why everybody envisions themselves at least some point in their life as Spider-Man, because when the mask is on, all that stuff becomes an after-thought.

Everyone is pretty much Peter Parker in one way or another, anyway.

...you have to play Smash Bros to get the joke.

Andrew said something really inspiring about how people dont care whos under the mask once

Oh, I know. It was actually the first comparison I saw.

 

[Pecola1]

Now tell me what you think about:


Does he fit race and hair color?


So fitting that that actor should be mentioned just after you made it so clear the two things that are consistent with PP.
