The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Worst lines in the movie

[SpideyK]

-"I break up with you." Who talks like that

This movie suffered from some pretty ****** writing, but I never got why people are compaining about that particular line.

Care to elaborate?

 

[Leenie]

The line sounds robotic. Not natural at all.

 

[Oscorp]

It also makes her look like a typical "I break up with him/her first just so I don't look bad" person. Someone who can't take that he or she is being dumped by the other one.

 

[Leenie]

Well, I believe that Gwen had a right to step in and say "Stop stringing me along like this. I'm going to be the one to break it off this time. I'm calling the shots now." Peter needed to hear it. It's just that the line written for her was terrible.

Oh yeah, I get that too! But as you said, the way that line was written was pretty bad, combined with that scary face she made :P

 

[chaseter]

Yes. I don't agree Peter didn't learn anything. He didn't want Gwen at the clock tower, but she was adamant. His fear of putting her in harm's way also saw them break up for a long period of time. Peter was feeling guilty about Captain Stacy with the visions, which shows development from his "those are the best kind" quip at the end of TASM. At the end of TASM2, he learns to put the past where it belongs, but to carry the message/lesson each person gave him.

Then he makes the tough choice of getting back with her and getting her killed. He hasn't learned responsibility or actions have consequences. He got over Gwen's death at the end after time off grieving...like most people do. He hasn't learned a lesson after he has gotten 3 people killed. They had a huge chance to show it here and they didn't like they didn't in ASM.

 

[chaseter]

He most certainly has grown as a person over two films. I can't see how he hasn't at all.

Most pertinent example is the end of the second film, he's absolutely destroyed as a human being, but Gwen's speech showed him the importance of hope, going beyond what you suffer, ect. We saw what happened when people didn't grow beyond their suffering (Harry, Electro), they're antithesis' of Peter Parker to exemplify this growth of him as a person, he just won't back down forever, he'll keep fighting.

In the first film he started this crazy vendetta against Ben's killer, was told by the police captain that he lost traces of a hero with the selfish endevour, I don't recall Peter going after any more people in that fashion anymore, it's when he started saving instead of hunting people, that's growth, that's responsibility, that's Uncle Ben's legacy. He's actually responsible for the death of Ben Parker in this series, which I think adds more to his grief and the gravity of the lesson, I think Ben Parker was in the second film in Peter's heroic actions, in those little moments when he was helping that kid or trying to convince electro to not light his candles, I thought "show not tell" was a good thing? He's there.

Having hope isn't learning a lesson. Getting over your guilt isn't learning a lesson. Gwen did instill hope in him but so did Ben's voicemail at the end of ASM and that didn't do anything because he fell into the same pitfall here.

Ben's death is supposed to teach him responsibility for selfish actions. Gwen's death is supposed to teach him humility. They did none or those and he learned nothing. They even threw in Cap Stacy's death as a lesson in selfishness and he turned around in the same movie and ignored it.

Peter hasn't forgotten about Ben's killer. End of ASM closed on the police drawing. The writers and Webb are just so incompetent that they dropped it here. Then again they have taken away the importance of Ben in this series and instead put it on his parents...such a bastardization for such an important character (Ben).

I remember reading one hilarious review of TASM 2 that started off like this:

"What is The Amazing Spider-Man 2 about? It's about the story of Peter Parker, who through many trials and tribulations, finally manages to kill his girlfriend."

That's not how it was worded verbatim, but that was the gist of what the reviewer said. I remember snorting upon reading that.

The writing for these movies have been a trainwreck, especially in TASM2. We don't see Peter looking back fondly at Uncle Ben at all (in fact, everything he says about him sounds bitter; terrible dialogue at that post-graduation scene with Aunt May), and every time he mentions Captain Stacy, it's all about how it affects HIM. It's always all about Peter and his boypain, not about his loved ones.

Hell, even in the first movie after Captain Stacy's death, and Gwen shows up at his doorstep, he says "I can't do this. I can't do this!" Memememememememememe. Peter hasn't learned a thing throughout the course of these movies. If he has, the writing has certainly done a poor job at showing it.

 

[chaseter]

I think we saw glimpses of the new Peter Parker at the end of TASM2

But we don't know until ASM3....which is a problem with these movies and the writing.

 

[SpideyK]

The line sounds robotic. Not natural at all.

But you do realize what she meant, though?

I break up with you, as in Gwen breaking up with Peter, instead of the usual; him breaking up with her.

Yeah that's what I felt she was doing. It was a great delivery on her part.

Then you read the comics.

I'm gonna stop now.

ONTOPIC: I disliked this line.

"You've done this to me again, and again."

I don't know why, it just didn't feel right. He barely did it to her once.

Actually, I really felt that that line was really good. Especially on Emma's part as an actor. That line and, "I can't live like this." The expression on her eyes and nose reveal authentic discontent. It was good.

And to elaborate on the line, "You've done this to me again and again"...to me that implies that Peter has done it to her a lot. From what we haven't seen between the end of TASM and the start of TASM2, he probably broke up with her a lot due to the same reason. That's why the convo starts with her saying, "it's my father isn't it?" Because they've been through it before.

 

[Leenie]

I break up with you, as in Gwen breaking up with Peter, instead of the usual; him breaking up with her.

Um, yeah, I know what the line was going for (read my post above regarding the line), but it didn't feel like it was something that someone would actually say. It was robotic.

She could have easily said, "I'm breaking up with you" or something like "This time I'm saying it's over."

"I break up with you" sounds ... Robotic. That's the only word I can use to describe it. Robotic.

You're right. Peter as presented in these films is extremely unlikable. That's probably my biggest problem with the TASM version of the character.

Oh, gotcha.

 

[Mace Dolex]

Wow and to think there was a time when "I kid you not" from Raimi's SM was considered bad.

 

[SpideyK]

I got another one.

Is it because you can't lose me we can't be together? Who does that work out for , Peter?

- Gwen

Yeah, I don't even know wtf that's supposed to mean.

 

[Airnick]

"It's my birthday now it's time for me to light my candles!" definitely the worst line in the movie. IMO.

 

[Andrew Lucas]

I got another one.

Is it because you can't lose me we can't be together? Who does is that working out for you Peter?

- Gwen

Yeah, I don't even know wtf that's supposed to mean.

Fixed.

Just because he can't lose her they can't be together?

 

[Voices]

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure the line is -

"So because you can't lose me, we can't be together? Who does that work out for?"

Implying the contradiction of "I can't lose you, so I can't have you" and how no one wins in that scenario.

Yep pretty sure your right.

 

[XSpidercideX]

"Punch me I bleed."

Oh wait, wrong movie.

 

[Leenie]

"Punch me I bleed."

Oh wait, wrong movie.

Nice try. We're supposed to roll our eyes at that line, as MJ practically did whenever Peter would be nerdy/clueless enough to recite poetry to her.

They do get back together, but I don’t agree Peter gets her killed. He knows about consequences, otherwise why would he be so apprehensive about her being at the clock tower? He webbed Gwen’s hand to the police car so she couldn’t become involved, but she broke free and made a conscious decision to help out. I think the death of Gwen cemented his role as Spider-Man. At this moment he has nothing left but his sense of duty – a responsibility to the City despite his own dilemma. This really is his life now.

Yeah what is he supposed to do stay away form ever one he cares about because they could be put in danger so not have a life out side of spider man?
