This is my favourite portrayal of how his "spider-sense" would work in real life, he's just hyper-aware of everything going on around him.

[@aechangel627]

Not only that Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man is still to this day one of the most legendary and popular versions of Spider-Man ever made but also the one to bring Spider-Man to the big screens for many years to come.

Goblin is such a special villain, even by todays standards. It is super rare for a hero to physically meet-let alone fight- a villain until the very end of the story, especially when it’s an origin story for both. Goblin and Spider-Man have five separate yet equally important confrontations starting as soon as they put on the masks: -Their initial fight during the parade -The rooftop scene where Goblin makes his offer -The fire house where Spider-Man rejects him -The bridge where Goblin targets civilians -and it all culminates in their final confrontation in the graveyard/construction site You don’t see that level of consistency in any other film, to have the villain’s story match the hero’s story almost step-for-step. That’s one of the many things that sets Goblin above the rest.

[@thereisnopandemic]

He grew on me, I didn’t like Raimi version of The Green Goblin at first because he looked like he belonged in the Power Rangers than spider-man.

[@adamyoung6797]

Right. Most villains seem out of nowhere and unaffected by the hero until the hero stops them. But they shape each other here, back and forth

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

It was pulled off soo well because of Sam Raimi

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

[@devinjabairemoss]

As for Aunt May and Uncle Ben, they were always portrayed as an elderly couple since Spidey’s first appearance in 1962. Versions of May and Ben after the Raimi trilogy were portrayed as 50-year olds as the filmmakers drew inspiration from the Ultimate Spider-Man comics from the 2000s where Peter’s aunt and uncle were slightly younger.

[@Gxbbzee]

It's worth mentioning Mary Jane is made to be an imperfect character - she's young and irrational at times, which is definitely off-putting for some, but I quite like it because it makes her interesting with a lot of room for growth. Currently she's from a broken, abusive home, working a job she hates, desperate for someone to validate her for who she is, and peter gives her that here. In this movie she's bouncing from guy to guy confessing her love because she's looking for her saviour, or just anyone who pays her positive attention, without knowing what love really is. Also I think the peter/harry dynamic being set up is super interesting, as on the one hand peter is all harry has left (his mom is gone, his dad saw him as a disappointment, all the while treating peter like the proper son he never got), and now peter is holding in this massive secret. So much room for tension.

The robber shot Uncle Ben because he wanted his car. When Peter asks the officer what happened, the officer says it was a carjacking and presumably Uncle Ben resisted. As for Mary Jane liking three men at once, I have to cut her some slack. She’s 17 years old and just trying to figure things out like a lot of teenagers.

[@Backstreets247]

Actually four.........you forgot Flash!

[@martinaleanza9756]

At 17 years old you're old enough to understand what's right and wrong, age is not an excuse. Unless you are a child, but at 17 you're not really a child. She literally cheated on every man she got in a relationship with, she knew what she was doing, she was not "confused" or "troubled".

I’m not sure if anyone else here mentioned that the part with the New Yorkers trying to help Spider-Man by throwing things at the Green Goblin was added very late in production (the bulk of the movie filmed before 9/11) as a sort of homage to NYC and its people.

[@GreenGoblin64]

So little insight into Peter Parker with information from the Spider-Man (2002) Novelization. Peter Parker was born on August 1983 to Richard and May Parker. Peter lived in Wisconsin until his parents were killed in a plane crash when Peter was only 4 years old. Peter is delivered to the home of Ben and May Parker in New York City. People even brings out some Captain America comments but it's never stated if Captain America was a real person in this universe or just a comic book character like Superman for example. In Early to Mid 1990s Mary Jane moves in next door with her family. Peter now six years old forms a massive crush on Mary Jane. From 1996 to early 2002 Colombia university begins it's genetic research looking into interspecies genetics transmutations. They spend 5 years genetically enhancing spiders, basically incorporating the genetic does from differant species of spiders and placing them all into a single "super" spider with 15 in total. During these years Harry ends up at Midtown High where he strikes up a friendship with Peter Parker both around the age of 13. Few years later an 18 year old peter goes on a field trip to Columbia university on April 10th 2002. This takes us to the opening of the film where we see Peter being bitten by one of these super spiders giving him his abilities. Something I find really interesting is in the comics and other takes on the character Peter was bitten at 15 so they made him slightly older in the film. Makes since with how we go from Peter being bitten to graduating from High School. In the comics a 15 year old Peter has to manage his high school life alongside his job at the Daily Bugle and being Spider-Man. The film is the same as well but the High School aspect isn't a big focus after graduating.

[@cavaughngrace1488]

This movie is very nostalgic for me. I remember seeing it for the first time at the movies when I was 15 and becoming obsessed with it for a while. I loved it so much I watched it over and over again.😂

[@justinfernandez2371]

You're 100% right! The way Mary Jane used Harry while flirting with Peter, then kissed Spiderman and STILL didn't end things with Harry. Nah. She ain't it

[@gridlo]

Eh, she's fresh out of high school. She's still figuring it out.

[@ThatGuy-tx4vm]

​@@gridloi didn't see Harry the billionaire flirting with 5 girls... If he was like that, it would have definitely been alluded to in the trilogy as one reason to justify why MJ didn't go for him... But it wasn't. He was always portrayed as a good person.

[@nvp8191]

Here's some fun facts you should know about Spider-Man going forward. Spider-Man is one of the physically strongest marvel character but in nearly every appearance of the character he always back. Only in a few instances have have they shown his true strength. Spider-Man skin is as durable as police Kevlar which is how he was able to take a pumpkin bomb AKA a grenade to the face and walk away with a few scratches. He has fast regeneration ability which gives him the ability to heal from near fatal wound within a day or two. Spider-Man also have super speed but not in the traditional sense of speed. Spidey speed is tied to his reflexes and his spider Sense which versions on precognition. Peter's also highly intelligent.

[@grandotaku2501]

Not even close. He is well above a normal person for sure but doesn't make the list of "strongest marvel character" if we taking top 10 ...or top 20. He wouldn't even be the strongest amongst teams like X-men, Avengers, Fantastic 4, Guardians etc.

[@ar47yrr4p]

@@alextheballer27it's not the same at all. Peter is trying to juggle real life issues with being a super hero...and it's the super hero part that keeps him pushing her away. With Mary Jane, she's playing 3 different guys at the same time without regard for any of them really. She enjoys the attention and want's to have "options" while being serious with more than 1 person at the same time!

[@darrenobayashi6528]

The thing about MJ... She did jump from Flash to Harry to Spiderman to Peter... but it is not like time didn't pass from one to the next. It just seems sudden in "movie time". Her high school sweetheart, Flash, was just that... high school. Harry was just there during her transition to "adult life", she never felt that strongly about him and he for her (made worse by dad not approving of her). Spiderman saved her and she became infatuated, a "rescuer romance". But her ordeal at the bridge made her realize that Peter was the one always there for her. But he put his "great responsibility" over his feelings to "save" her. In the comics this went on for DECADES... So I guess for me the movies' condensed time line was not so jarring like you see it.

[@darrenobayashi6528]

Not to forget MJ did grow up in a home with an abusive father. She craves the love and acceptance of a male figure.

[@JiReyAnimation]

MJ is meant to be this character who doesn't really know what she's looking for. She wants validation and someone to love her for who she is because it's the one thing she doesn't get at her abusive home. She dates the jock in high school and creates this party girl persona to be liked by everyone, and she kinda needs to because it's either that or get bullied at school while also getting abused at home. After she's able to leave her house she just doesn't need the jock anymore, but then Harry makes a move on her and she's too nice to say no, because it's a guy being interested in her, but she's not really interested in him. She's just with him because she thinks he'll give her love and support, which he ends up not doing, as he continuously makes disapproving comments about her choice of work and her dress and whatnot. With Spider-Man she feels infatuated with him because she sees him as a protector, someone who will always come in and rescue her when she's in need of a hero. Which then leaves us with Peter, the guy who throughout all her relationship drama has been kind, supportive and telling her how she should follow her dreams and passions, and to value herself for who she is, which doesn't catch her attention at first because she just thinks he's being a good friend, up until he tells her what he "told Spider-Man about her" which starts to make her realize Peter might actually be the man she's looking for and that he might actually have feelings for her as well. Of course, she's not perfect, she shouldn't have been kissing Spidey while having a boyfriend, even though she clearly doesn't like Harry. She should've turned Harry down from the start to avoid all the unnecessary drama. And she shouldn't have waited until Harry's father died to break up with him, or try to make a move on Peter right after that. But if we're talking about how many guys does this girl like, when it comes down to it, she only truly ever loves Peter. He's the only one she feels comfortable talking about the things she truly wants in life without fearing he will make fun of her or dismiss her, while with everyone else she has to put up this fake persona to please them.
