You will need your own copy of the movie to sync up with us, but we have a good time. Also! We just came into possession of several limited edition Green Goblin statues from the first Spider-man movie.

The arms have little lights on them. They're white in the beginning when Otto has control over them, and turn red when he doesn't. At the end of the movie, they turn back to white just before he dies. He also uses the top right arm; named Flo; for precision work, like grabbing the tritium, or taking off his sunglasses, lighting his cigars, and catching Harry's whisky glass, and then drinking the whisky. And when Otto's in the hospital and the arms are taking over killing all the doctors, you can actually hear a bone cracking sound when the arm grabs the lady doctor's leg. Gross.

You don't need to say IMO. It IS the best Spiderman movie and yes this is what Spiderman should be like. even if it's not exact copy of comic book version...still this is what he should be like.

@@edwardsolaire5672 Definately by a long shot. Cause this is a story of Peter's personal growth. Tom's Peter takes biggest sacrifice, Andrew and Tobey have redeemed themselves by saving MJ and Goblin, all villains are saved and Spider-man is now a fully developed character

[@bookwormed-geek7772]

Raimi's Spider-Man is my favorite as well. Andrew's too! I remember I'd wake up on Saturday mornings at 7 am just to watch the whole trilogy again. Now hearing that Tobey Maguire might reprise his role in No Way Home has really got me incredibly pumped!!

[@AudibleFist]

This movie would’ve been so much cooler if with Peter’s intelligence as he was losing his web slinging he made web shooters to make up for it, only for the rest of his powers to start waining and him giving up fully.

[@genghisgalahad8465]

True that! That’s be an awesome bit of lore justification in film! I dig how they incorporated that into the story as a critical turning point!

[@pokemongamer7992]

@@genghisgalahad8465 That is a very interesting idea. However, web shooters are useless if he doesn't have the rest of his powers (super strength, spider sense, wall crawling, agility, etc).

[@SB992REBORN]

no he wouldnt know how to implement it fully but..... into the spiderverse shows he made web shooters when his powers didnt work properly gain,.

[@AudibleFist]

@@pokemongamer7992 he wasn’t loosing everything else yet at first though.

[@pokemongamer7992]

@@AudibleFist This isn't into the Spiderverse, this is Spider-Man 2. There wasn't enough time in between the events of him losing his webs and losing the rest of his powers to create web shooters. He wouldn't have been able to create them before he lost everything else. What the Director could have done was have Peter draw up a blueprint of a web shooter design, but not go any further than that. It would have been a cool nod to classic spiderman. Off topic: But organic webs for spiderman makes more sense overall. He is a superhero based on a spider, not an ant or a gecko. To be a true SPIDERman, he needs natural webbing, not a mechanical add-on. Web Shooters are silly. No offense. I do believe web shooters are cool, but they are illogical. I made a video on it if you want to check it out. Have a great day.

[@MrGeoff-iv6re]

@@GhostMan407 the performances in the Raimi trilogy make a lot of things in them see silly. That scene might be symbolic of what Spider-Man is but the execution is flawed. I can appreciate those movies for their importance to the genre but they do not hold up. Kirsten Dunst has the most wooden acting and just screams the entire time and Tobey Maguire has the goofiest faces and expressions I’ve ever seen. I didn’t like those movies then and I like them even less now.

The part where he says "Am I not supposed to get what I want? What am I supposed to do?" out of his apartment windows, I am pretty sure that is the most heart wrenching thing I have ever seen in a movie, for me at least. No exaggeration. I never managed to watch this movie without tearing up and it was always that part cause I can relate to that phrase like I've said similar things to myself many times during hard times. Great video, looking forward to SM3 reaction

Now that Jen mentioned it, it's weird that Harry thought "I guess that hero Spider-Man just decided to murder my father for no reason" instead of thinking that maybe he found him dead and returned him home, which is what happened. Like, how is so sure Spider-Man killed him?!

[@stareater1870]

I'd say just jealousy and looking for blame. May have saved him and MJ's life, but she then started thinking of Spider-Man, and eventually kinda got with Peter. So Harry got screwed by Peter and Spider-Man and was probably just looking to take one out or just release his anger, which he wouldn't do to Pete.
