I love how he had nothing to do with any of his movies and he broke it down like he was a director for some of them it’s incredible

[@SDXStudio]

I'm always said when Kevin says there is never a chance that he will direct a comic book movie. I know he isn't the worlds most loved director and to be completely honest I've grown out of most of his movies he's done lately, even if I still watch them/appreciate them. But I think a movie with Kevin and Marc Bernardin co-directing or writing or whatever would be pretty great. If you've never listened to Fatman Beyond, it is really great as Kevin is y'know, Kevin, but Marc always reigns it in with amazing criticisms of all of our modern comic movies.

I’m proud to know Kevin Smith feels the same way about the movie characters as I do. Toby Maguire good Peter meh Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield good Spider-Man nothing like 616 Peter Parker, Tom Holland great Spider-Man and a great Peter Parker. I had no idea he was using a Queens accent but knowing only improves my appreciation of the actor.

[@magicdetergent3606]

Tom holland was too cool as peter parker, one of the reason why im not fond of homecoming.

[@jaymesEo6]

Tom Holland is just not good as Peter Tobey ftw.

I wish he talked about the recent Spiderman PS4 game. For me it was one of the best portrayals of Spiderman in media, period.

[@jlmurph2]

Then he would have to talk about the tons of other Spider-Man games.

[@antonioferreira589]

@@jlmurph2 true, maybe they could do an episode with him on superheroes portrayals in videogames, since doing one only on Spiderman games might be too specific

Can we get more videos of Kevin Smith breaking down comic book stuff?

[@benphillips2947]

It's funny that he said he didn't care for "Spider-Man" 2002, because that movie is one of the reasons I know who Kevin Smith is. I got the big boxed collector's edition of the first Spider-man way back when and it came with "Stan Lee's Mutant's Monsters and Marvel's" which was hosted by Kevin Smith. Of course I saw "Clerks" and stuff later, but that DVD was my introduction to him.

Can we get Kevin involved in the MCU somewhere? I feel like he could knock a low-mid budget superhero movie for the MCU out of the park, knowing his success with smaller budgets.

[@joedy3957]

[@jbearclowater]

@@joedy3957 Was he? Wow, missed that. And I was thinking more behind the camera than anything. I think he'd be a great choice for a director for a smaller Marvel movie.

[@skildren]

He should have been Micro for Punisher if they had kept it the old hacker style.

[@Tim_Belay]

I think it would be fun if he would do some mini-series on Disney+ about just a regular guy who live in MCU. Kinda like Mallrats but instead of guy who loves comicbooks there'd be a guy with obsession with the Avengers. Or I don’t know, maybe it could be something more serious like 'Marvels' comic

Spider-man and his amazing friends was my first Spider-man show and is to this day my favorite.

[@ca8824]

to me the first Spiderman was like a quintessential Hollywood Cinematic experience for the 21st-century post-digital and post-CGI age. It was relatable, everybody was well cast and inhabited their roles impeccably especially the 3 pillars in Peter, Mary, and Defoe's Osbourne. The drama worked, the romance worked, the action and sci-fi abilities were well done. Just an all around great 4 quadrant, all-demo movie. But especially for a male tween, which I was at the time.

Anyone else sad about ultimate Spider-Man not being talked about? That show was my. Childhood!

[@jacobs1881]

About Green goblin wearing a helmet no one is supposed to know that Norman is the green goblin that’s why they wouldn’t just paint his face

[@mohamedseyni8748]

Ultra Instinct I think he meant that they should’ve had him physically transform into the goblin

[@godzilla90fan]

Green Goblin wears a very realistic mask in the main comics, he only physically changes into a goblin monster in the amazing spiderman 2, and in the ultimate spiderman universe. Otherwise its just a bitchin' mask that looks exactly like a real face

[@mohamedseyni8748]

godzilla90fan lol yea, but in the original concept for the Sam Raimi film Norman was supposed to physically transform into a green goblin and wear purple armor. That was just the concept art. They were thinking about giving him a mask similar to the one in the comics but they changed their mind and went with the power rangers looking one lol

[@jacobs1881]

Mohamed Seyni Yeah that’s what I meant like paint willem dafoes face. But I’m just saying even if he did transform into the green goblin he still looks like Norman and I feel like it would just look to obvious to Spider-Man and the others.

[@mohamedseyni8748]

Ultra Instinct lol I see what you mean, but they could’ve made his eyes yellow, his teeth and ears pointy, and his skin scaly to prevent it being obvious
