[@ripzaurus]

Haven't seen them in a while, but 7 year old me really liked the third movie. I guess not knowing what's going on in the plot and just seeing movement and effects was good enough for little kid me.

[@ripzaurus]

I also had a lot of toys and a spiderman pajama from spiderman 2, so I guess it's safe to say they were my favorite movies as a kid.

[@cosmonautvarietyhour]

I love this video. This is such a well-spoken and constructive response, and I appreciate you acknowledged that most of my video was just for funsies. Maaaaybe I'll reconsider how I feel about Aunt May having heard your side. But MJ is still the worst.

[@tragedystrixesagain]

That gratifying moment when you’re subbed to both channels and see they had a peaceful compromise about their different opinions

[@soccer4207]

But yeah, MJ is relatively bad, in my personal opinion. Her arc is entirely dependent on Peter. She isn't her own character enough. Her damsel in distress role is frustrating for everyone watching, but that's already been said. But her whole arc was about her getting together with Peter. It was built erratically. Even her acting performances end up being used as a plot device to get Mary Jane mad at Peter, rather than being, well, something else. Aside from that, though, I enjoyed the movie.

[@BlueisNotaWarmColour]

Her arc, especially in the first movie, is actually REALLY good. The whole movie is her latching onto guys that treat her poorly in different ways: first Flash just sees her as an object, Harry sees her as a way to make his father proud, and Spider-Man... is some guy she doesn't really know but finds exciting. Then there's Peter supporting her all the while, slowly realizing that she's more than the girl next door. He's the only person in the movie that tells her her dreams are valid- this clearly shocks MJ after a lifetime of demeaning- and he's invested in her career. Finally, at the end of the film, when she's about to die on the bridge, she realizes it's not Harry or even Spider-Man that matters most to her but Peter Parker... and Peter is finally mature enough to deny himself a relationship with her for her protection. And all this perfectly sets up great arcs in the sequel. I mean, come on. That's brilliant drama.

[@StickmanChmook]

I actually liked the green goblin in that movie. Green Goblin is a murderous maniac; it's only fitting that he sounds like one.

[@danielmcdermott6098]

Not really, he never murdered senselessly. He killed Quest employees and the general for cutting his funding, the board members for letting him go, and then he tries to kill peter cuz peter tries stopping him at the unity day festival. Other than that it’s not like he just kills for the fun of it.

In his attempt of coming across as an contrarion, he did an piss-poor job at it. Also he lost all credibility when he said Spiderman: Homecoming is the best Spiderman movie he has ever seen, then it came upon me that the only reason he is hating so hard on the Raimi's trilogy is just because he is an MCU's Spiderman fanboy.

Bro telling someone that you’re responsible for their husbands death and having them leave mid conversation is the MOST reasonable and compassionate response you could have to that. She could’ve broke down, exploded at Peter, or done any number of things, but because she loves him she went to be alone so she could process the information without taking anything out on him. Later once she comes to terms with it and is ready to have a healthy conversation is when she finally speaks to him again

[@JD-jz5gu]

The whole issue I have with this argument is that Peter is not responsible for Ben dying. May should know the criminal would be armed with a gun, presumably In hand, so why would she expect Peter to jump in and stop him? I can understand why Peter would feel responsible, but he really isn’t

Sandman - "I'm not asking you to forgive me. I just want you to understand" Peter's forgiveness to Sandman. Mr Osborn's faithful butler - "The night your father died... I cleaned his wound. The blade that pierced his body... came from his glider. I know you're trying to defend your father's honour... but there's no question that he died by his own hand. I loved your father... as I have love you, Harry. As your friends love you." Doc Ock - "Intelligence is not a privilege, it's a gift, to be used for the good of mankind."

Am I the only one who shed some tears in Spider-Man 2 when Aunt May insisted on Peter keeping that $20 on his birthday? The music kicks in while Aunt May vents on about Uncle Ben and that he deserves that money. Peter starts to shed a tear while having that blank face look like he is staring into abyss, this scene alone is so powerful. The whole Uncle Ben story.. the fact Peter is so selfless despite being behind on rent, losing his job, failing school, and the burdens of making his loved ones around him happy. Harry, because he takes pics of Spidey and then MJ because he preaches how much he wants to be there for her but he never can be.. Tobey makes me feel for him like no other Spider-Man has before. I am 21 now, he was my childhood Spidey growing up and I can not wait to eventually show my future kids this Spider-Man. Thank you Tobey Maguire..

[@HungryTacoBoy]

Exactly. People complained that he wasn't enough like the "Peter Parker/Spider-Man" of the comics but what I think the films did amazingly well was create a Peter Parker/Spider-Man that was three dimensional and highly relatable; he felt like a real person, unlike many other comic book movies. His strained relationships with those around him and his life struggles make his heroism all the more impressive since he's still heroic even when his life is in shambles. That's something sorely missing from Spider-Man: Homecoming, where Peter doesn't feel as fleshed out, Peter makes many poor choices but very few negative consequences arise because of those choices - which is completely antithetical to the theme of "with great power comes great responsibility", it doesn't feel like characters could actually die or are in danger, and Peter is rather immature.

[@galactic85]

One thing I would like to point out is that most of the "goofy" scenes are when peter is engaged in a full on superhero battle. You know...when the movie becomes most like a superhero comic book? Otherwise when we get scenes like peter confessing his role in uncle ben's death to aunt may it's all treated very seriously and played with genuine emotion. Raimi knows that the most ridiculous and unbelievable aspects of the Spider-Man mythos are when he is fighting super villains in a red and blue body stocking. He doesnt try to shy away from the last inherent ridiculousness. Instead he makes it his mission to develop the characters and make their personal struggles feel authentic and relatable so that it is easier to buy it when the crazy fantasy battles happen.

If Homecoming didn't exist or if Tom was never in Civil War, this unnecessary war between who's the best would have never happened. It all comes down to the ones who are always ass kissing the MCU and completely ignoring the flaws all the movies have, it was great back on 2008 with Iron Man 1 and Hulk, then everything else just became crappy comedy movies with some action slapped on them. Infinity War was the only one that really impressed me, thanks to the Russos, but besides that, it's all just unfunny comedy and lackluster action with Spidey always getting his ass kicked (Homecoming), how could you praise that huge unfunny mess and say it's "accurate to the comics"? That's literally the only argument they have.

[@SalsaPie]

One little detail I love about Infinity War is how Spidey takes his attention away from Thanos immediately so he can save all the Guardians from the falling debris. His joke about not remembering their names and the way he prioritized keeping them safe really reminded me of what I loved about the Raimi films. While these movies are definitely different, I think Raimi Spider-Man and MCU Spider-Man both do a great job of embodying who the character is and what he stands for, and I appreciate both of them very much despite their differences.

[@BlueisNotaWarmColour]

Now dig on this

[@ikazuchioni]

I think the scene where Peter confessed to Aunt May was very powerful. She was hurt and she felt betrayed, not just by any regular guy but by her own family. She needed time to process all that pain. But in the next scene where they see each other again, Aunt May had time to recover and have a better look at things from a higher perspective, that's why she didn't want Parker to feel any shame or negative emotions when she referred to the incident, she simply brushed it aside and trying to give the impression that Peter's actions were irrelevant to Ben's death. Aunt May was my hero in this scene, she took all the pain for Peter.

[@princess_shell]

Yes, Aunt May's reaction to Peter's confession made sense because she had blamed herself all those years for the death of her own husband. When Peter confessed about his lie, & how he could've stopped the man who killed her husband, she was in utter shock & speechless. That whole scene always hit me right in the feels. & when she sees Peter again it's a heartwarming moment how she showed him grace & unconditional love by forgiving him. You can see how her character was now at peace, & able to move on with her life...even by letting go of her own home & ready to move ahead. She even acknowledged Peter's courage for telling her the truth & being honest with her. ❤ It's a beautiful moment. Aunt May is such a strong gracious woman.

[@batmenace15]

Plus there's something a little symbolic about her letting the bank take her house that is full of memories of Ben and Peter yet is now empty without either of them and moving into a smaller, more manageable apartment where she can leave all that pain behind her.

[@Nooshdog]

Dude, yes! I'm surprised when people say they dislike the Raimi trilogy. I always point out that they laid the groundwork for the tone and humor of modern Marvel movies. And most importantly, modern Marvel movies are so cookie-cutter and slightly cynical. I do love the modern Marvel movies, but they don't really believe in the drama of their own stories. They have sweet/meaningful moments, but then they immediately undercut those moments with comedy as if they want to wink at people who don't like sweet/dramatic/tender moments. They never just linger on those moments. I will never forget that line from May in Spider-Man 2 where she talks about how heroes give up the things they want the most, even their dreams, and that is what gives the rest of us our dignity to live and our courage to die when our time comes. Like... Jesus... that was such a good line and I know they'd never put something like that in a modern Marvel movie. Spider-Man 2 is the best super-hero movie ever made and (at this rate where directors have less control) probably will ever be made.

My Opinion on the trilogy. Spider-Man: An awesome film, and it's reputation was helped by the fact there was a brand new CGI movie based off everyone's favourite web slinger. Spider-Man 2: Great emotion, arcs, an amazing film. The best of the 3. Spider-Man 3: Boring in some parts, but I liked the tone it gave off, it got darker, like a person growing up discovers darker things. Some weak scenes, but great never the less.

Spider-Man 3 didn't really kill the franchise, in fact it was the most successful of the trilogy in terms of earnings (which is really the only thing that matters to getting a sequel). Raimi just couldn't agree with the studio for Spider-Man 4 ideas, and was tired of Spider-Man since he had basically been doing it for 7 years at that point. So he ended up leaving.

Spider-Man 1 is amazing, Spider-Man 2 is a masterpiece, and Spider-Man 3 is at least a lot of fun and highly entertaining. I think the trilogy is rather solid. They're a lot better than Amazing Spider-Man 1 or 2 for sure. Edit: I just finished rewatching both Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2, and I've gotta reiterate: Spider-Man 2 is phenomenal. Everything about it is so good. All of the internal and external conflict just keeps building and building, and it finally climaxes with the train sequence. Mmmmm... It's so good. The theme of "trying your best, but to no avail" is captured so perfectly and it's painfully accurate. The stakes are much higher than before and the few action scenes present are a sight to behold. Spider-Man is still amazing, though I have noticed a few glaring problems upon rewatching it. A lot of it has to do with the pacing. It creates huge time gaps waaaayyyyy too often. Like, one scene, they graduate from high school, and the next, Peter's already fired from a job we didn't even know he had and he's in college. It's so weird. The other thing that stuck out to me as problematic are how some shots are lazily layered over each other, most notably when Peter is looking through the newspaper and a huge opeque jpeg of a car comes zooming towards the screen. I couldn't help but laugh at how bad it was. Other than that, I still love it. The CGI, while noticable, is impressive for 2002, it's full of great one liners, it embraces the campiness, and I relate to Peter's awkwardness on a spiritual level. Tobey is such a good Peter Parker. So yeah, I still stand by my previous statement, and somehow Spider-Man 2 was even better than I remembered it being.

@@gooseofwar5711 not really. The reason the film has heart is because Peter Parker/Spider-Man seems like a believable high school kid who struggles to balance out his everyday life stuff while also being the ''friendly neighborhood'' Spider-Man. The film establishes the relationship with Tony Stark, wanting to impress his school crush and the conflict with the Vulture, particularly the scene where the twist happens and the conversation in the car happens. The reason the scene works is not only because Spider-Man lifts all of that rumble, but also because he seems like a kid who is genuinely afraid and cries out for help but when he hears echoes of what Tony Stark told to him, he understands how with great power comes great responsibility and lifts all of that rumble. He messes up a lot of the time throughout the film, particularly in the boat scene where he nearly messed it up and in the end he does make up for those shortcomings by doing at last one thing right by stopping Vulture. While Sam Raimi's Spider Man films are brilliant, but i feel that Homecoming deserves credit for where it's due. Not sure how Homecoming does ''not have heart''.

What I've always loved about Sam Raimi's Spider-Man is that you can tell they are clearly Sam Raimi movies. His style is all over them. Let me explain: Raimi got his start as a director in horror with The Evil Dead movies. The general audience may not know this, so Raimi intentionally snuck in a sequence or two in each movie that has a bit of a horror vibe to it. The first one had the lab scene with Norman Osborn and his lab assistant. The second one has the infamous hospital scene where Doc Ock kills the doctors and nurses. And the third one had a bunch of them, but 2 in particular. One where Peter is trying to remove the symbiote on the church tower and the other one where Venom stalks Peter in the construction site. Raimi used his background in horror to help him make these movies great. Even the premise of a boy being bitten by radioactive spider and getting the powers of one is very terrifying in a realistic setting. He used some horror with a silly comic book tone and he made it work. He even did this in his most recent movie, Oz the Great and Powerful, with the sequence where Theodora becomes The Wicked Witch of the West.

When Aunt May kicks the banker it's because shes trying to kick Peter's leg. She was trying to shut him up but kept missing. Hilarious.

[@Elnecrofilo]

why do people hate mj so much? She acts pretty human considerating her background.

[@arachnoslayer]

MJ is a good person. I love her, I do not hate her.

[@joejames1794]

El necrofilo she’s actually a pretty good character.

[@NolanWins]

She cheats on Harry, John, and Peter and leaves John at the altar and in the third she seems to only care about herself and gets jealous of Peter getting attention and instead of talking or Peter she goes to Harry and makes out with him. I like the character Mary Jane in the comics and MJ in the MCU. And even Gwen Stacy in the Amazing Spider-Man movies. I love these movies to death I’ve grown up with them and Spider-Man 2 is my favorite movie of all time but the only problem I have with these movies (besides venom) is MJ, and the dancing scene but at least that is hilarious

[@trey__918]

Considerating huh

[@stryfe0]

NolanWins1027 huuh MJ isn’t in the MCU.. that’s Michelle Jones

[@correctthatfilthygrammar]

Your intro and outro is simply phenomenal. I really appreciate your input and answers to some of Marcus’ stupider comments about the movies. I also think Raimi’s trilogy is among the best Spider-Man movies ever created.

[@cripss8160]

These films were my childhood, when Spider-Man 3 came out my dad brought me this stickerbook and every week if I had been good we would go down to the petrol station and buy 5 packs of stickers Those were the days I took for granted

[@aberrantcow]

I love Marcus’s videos and I loved his video for comedic reasons, but you pointed out some of my criticisms of his vid.

[@RayanxButt]

I'll always contend that Spider-Man 2 and The Dark Knight are the two best comic book movies that land on the opposite ends of the spectrum. One shows how great a comic book movie can be when it embraces the fantastical blockbuster aspect (SM2) and the other shows how a great it can be when the artist behind it takes a darker realistic approach.

The reason why I love the Raimi trilogy is because those movies convey Peter as a person more than a hero and it makes him more relatable. I just really like how Peter is constantly given reasons NOT to fight for humanity but he just won't allow himself to be corrupted even in his weakest moments. He's also a self made hero (he doesn't make gadgets or anything but he learns more about himself throughout the films that in turn make him a stronger person). I don't like MCU Peter since he lacks what I mentioned above. Stark provides all his gadgets and the movie had a "disney channel" tone to it that I don't appreciate that much. But hey, I'm not saying it's bad or anything. I just don't prefer it.

[@Whims101]

Yes, it feels as though peter becomes a product of iron man which I really don’t like. The mcu movies are great as their own thing and I remember dreaming he’d be in the mcu but not like this. It feels as if Spider-Man now relies on iron man to be a complete character and if you say he not there in far from home that’s not what I mean, in far from home he’s still very much “there” and peter even makes his suit with iron mans technology listening to AC/DC. I don’t mind the tie in it just feels excessive and overbearing sometimes and I can’t see homecoming or far from home working without iron man.

[@vicentegeonix]

Bull shit Peter gets his powers from a spider on a lab... thats not self made... he did not even made his web shooters, mcu spidey kinda did more with his intelligence, he created his web shooters and his own web formula, Peter on the Raimi movies is not really smart all, he never build anything, he doesn't even k ows how to fix a bike! (I always laugh at that scene 😂)

[@marveleeditsmarveledits3379]

@@vicentegeonix yea but thats more realistic because if ur getting every power of a spider why not get one of the main things witch is the web they can make and if ur able stick to a wall why not. The mcu peter parker is spoiled asf he has iron man that provided him with suits and different types of webs like 500 other versions it even misses out on the main thing that makes peter parker spider man witch is uncle ben what r u talking about and he has no struggles like the real peter parker. he gets everything he wants like the first movie he wanted liz and without any struggle he gets her and in this movie he wants mj he gets her at the end of the movie.But in the rami movies he acc knows what can happen if he dated her. u sound asf when u say "he doesnt know how to fix a bike" it makes the scene funnier. i can go on and on and on about this but this is not the real peter parker. I like him but hes not the real peter
