Homecoming Was the 2012 reboot pointless?

[shinlyle]

I just feel like both Amazing Spider-Man films were two separate types of movies. Personally, I throughly enjoyed the first Amazing Spider-Man. But with the route the studio went in to make the sequel, it totally made the reboot pointless

I agree wholeheartedly.

The first ASM was a great retelling of the origin. I enjoyed Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone made up for Kirsten Dunst in every way.

With part 2, they seemed so hellbent on making it into a franchise to rival the MCU that they just screwed the pooch. Honestly, though, the more I watch Civil War, the more pointless Andrew's brief reign as Spidey becomes. Holland is superior in every way.

Of course I will miss the ASM2 suit, which gave us the first real attempt at comic book-style eyes...which the MCU suit then knocked out of the park!

I do feel sorry for Andrew Garfield, considering he was a fan of Spider-Man.

 

[Spider-Who?]

I loved the Garfield films. They’re not perfect films, but they fixed everything I didn’t like about the Raimi films (which aren’t perfect either). Even though Sony shot themselves in the foot with how they handled the ASM franchise, I wouldn’t say it was pointless. It gave us something different in terms of style and tone. It gave us a comic accurate Spidey in terms of the costume, personality and fighting style. It gave us a wonderful Gwen story, something I really don’t think Marvel/Disney would have had the balls to do in the MCU. Plus, Sony’s meddling caused the franchise to suffer enough to convince them to work with Marvel.

For all it’s ups and downs, the ASM franchise is an important part of Spider-Man’s cinematic legacy. It’s hardly pointless.

 

[Shikamaru]

In hindsight, yes. They were pointless and will fall into obscurity. And this is coming from someone who liked both films.

[Rorschach2012]

Garfield was such a horrible Spidey, literally one of the worst cbm castings ever along with Eisenberg IMO

 

[BarryAllen]

In hindsight, it was absolutely pointless.

all the ways, especially the bold part.

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

If the series hadn't been so ****, we would've never got the good version we have now. So it's achieved its purpose. Thanks for ****ing up so bad based Avi

 

[Spider-Aziz]

The first movie is good, the second is so-so.

 

[The Joker]

So so bad you mean

Nicely said.

Catching the falling cop car is one of the best action feats in any Spider-Man movie.

 

[PeterBenParker]

His quips were on point, too. "Good thing you're not one of those cops that rides a horse."

His quips:

 

[Spider-Aziz]

PeterBenParker is right, that line was on point, intended as a quip or not.

 

[ernesth100]

Oh please, if Tom would've said any of those quips Andrew said you guys would've eaten it up.

 

[Doctor Octopus]

Garfield was such a horrible Spidey

Agreed. The worst.

lol only good thing to come from it.

The first movie is good, the second is so-so.

They both terrible.

Oh please, if Tom would've said any of those quips Andrew said you guys would've eaten it up.

lol I don't eat up bad quips. Even Tom couldn't make them good.

It wasn't pointless because it added to Spidey's legacy and kept the character at the forefront of the CB adaptation genre. We could have had a 9-year gap for Marvel's flagship character in the middle of the golden age of comic book films. That would have been tragic.

It only add two bad movies to Spidey legacy. It wouldn't matter if 9 year gap. Better to have that than have two bad Spider-man movies. Batman better off having 8 year gap between Batman and Robin and Batman Begins than Joel Schumacher making more lol.

 

[harryoscop]

"You can call me Webhead, you can call me amazing, just don't call me late for dinner, get it?" What the heck does that even mean? "Not a shaker... Are you a hugger?" that one just doesn't work. "Glad you're not one of those cops that rides a horse." that one is more awkwardly funny & extremely random. Bad quips imo.

Compared to Tom's Spidey who is more wise-cracker:
"You have a metal arm? That is awesome, dude!" hilarious. "You have the right to remain silent!! classic Spidey."Are those wings carbon fibre" " geek Spidey. Falcon: There's usually not this much talk." Spidey: Alright, sorry, my bad." I love this Spidey's humor.


I love how he doesn't come off as a somebody who is desperately trying to be funny like Garfield in TASM2.

Those films might not have been to your personal taste, but they obviously appealed to some fans. Spidey has had enough non-print incarnations now that it's a given that certain segments of fans will disagree on them, but they all show his continued appeal. That's always a good thing.

That scene is terrible with quips, because his puns suck there, and it was irresponsible. That scene is the one deserving of that reaction gif you used.

Tom's geeking out in and asking about the science behind what he sees is not quips, it's just geeking out. And saying "You're under arrest" is not a quip either.

 

[Web-Head]

Oh please, if Tom would've said any of those quips Andrew said you guys would've eaten it up.

It's funny cause it's true.
