Top 11 Dumbest Spider-Man Moments - Nostalgia Critic

[@Dashound46]

Venom was never supposed to be in the third movie, but the studio forced the director's hand. It was originally supposed to be a forgiveness movie, Harry forgives Peter, and Peter forgives Sand-man. It's also the fault of us fans, since we kept pushing for Venom, and the executives saw the money making opportunities.

[@orcciezaj]

yep

[@TheNewRobotMaster]

Is that why the director cast Topher Grace as Eddie Brock, a massive hulking bulk of muscle mass who's like 6'5" tall? As some sort of sick form of revenge? I mean I could stomach the hair dye but Jesus.

[@Merdicano]

It wasn't just the studio, Avi Arad had also input on pushing Venom in the movie

[@nightmaresnivyx1519]

i do not now it

[@bossmugga1]

Granted I don't think Sam Raimi actually knew how to handle such a dark and horror character like Venom, he himself said he didn't like the character to begin with. Even though he was a horror movie director on the side, I guess he wasn't a very good one. Though the scenes with Venom were actually good, when all of the humor was stripped from the scene. Spider-man had too many silly moments to go down a dark road all of a sudden, because it would feel like they ruined the comedy and drama formula. I think because of that it became unbalanced in the third act, because no one knew how to take a dramatic turn all of a sudden without comedy.

[@spideralexandre2099]

Also, Willem Dafoe's over-the-top performance fit the character very well.

[@gentlemanmaniac9992]

spideralexandre2099 well doug didn't really watch the 90's cartoon and therefore did not watch the green goblin episodes to understand the reference.

spideralexandre2099 I liked his performance because, not having read the comics, i always pictured him being Insane.

[@spideralexandre2099]

Poetabrasileiro Well, he is.

[@Poetabrasileiro]

spideralexandre2099 Yeah. IDK. I Just like these kind of Crazies. Those Villains who are insane but enjoy their Insanity. Like the Joker, for another example. It's hard not to like someone when they enjoy so much what they do. :D Green Goblin, while not confronting himself, he owns his villainy.

[@Darthvegeta8000]

I actually loved Dafoe as Green Goblin. He was as he should be in my view of the Goblin. So eh... to each his own.

[@joyunicycle]

I loved him as the Goblin too. I think he's a lot of fun and I kinda feel sorry for him. Anytime my sister and I saw him talking to his reflection, we kept saying, "Gollum Gollum"

[@GreenGoblinsOckVenom]

+joyunicycle That's my problem with it though. In the comics Norman became the Green Goblin because he was a selfish jerk who wanted to become powerful. And unlike the movie he doesn't have any hand in creating the Goblin formula. It was all done by Stromm. Stromm worked on it secretly behind Norman's back because he knew Norman was crazy. When Norman finds out about it he has Stromm framed for embezzlement so he can get ahold of his notes on the Goblin Formula. Also Norman didn't care that much about his son Harry in the comics. He is more concerned about Oscorp than he is his son. That's also kind of the problem with doing him in the first movie and killing him off at the end. He doesn't develop as a character and the whole origin isrushed. Also I think the origin of Green Goblin in the movie is dumb. A mulibillion dollar company is only reliant on one contract!? Really!? I hope they end up just introducing Norman in the upcoming reboot but have some lesser villain as the main focus then later do his story more justice down the line.

Elizabeth Edwards I think NC’s point is more relevant in the 2.1 version of that scene. In the theatrical cut of the film, the scene was relatively harmless and could, at the very least, get a chuckle out of the audience. I find the scene hilarious as well because of the awkward response and the follow up silence of what Spidey said. In the 2.1 version, the guy is given more lines for some reason and is given a shtick of giving spider-man some business ideas. It’s way too long and isn’t that funny compared to the quick gag that the theatrical cut makes.

details like that don't matter as long as the emotions behind the characters venom and spiderman are inline with the comic and fit the style, tone and consistency of the previous films. like how the mcu is relying less on specific comics and more on it's own take. thor and thanos are different to their comic counter parts but they changed it so that it makes for a more compelling watch

[@Shadow-zf5uc]

Yes, but things often get changed in adaptions and I feel like it could work. That said, what would make more sense to me is if they made the dude Mary Jane is dating in the second movie be Eddie Brock instead of JJJ's son. That way if/when MJ dumps him for Peter it can add to Eddie's dislike of Peter and provide more of a motive for revenge.

[@pyrosnickenson2649]

[@DraphEnjoyer]

The symbiote didn't make Peter "cool" when it bonded to him. It gave him more power and confidence. So much confidence that it made him overly aggressive both when fighting crime and in his personal life. Almost every cartoon adaptation of Spiderman I've seen handles the symbiote suit well because they have Peter either go to far while fighting a villain or lash out against his friends/loved ones. The whole scene with him dancing is unnecessary because it really doesn't reinforce confidence more than it just makes the audience uncomfortable

[@bumfricker2487]

[@generalcoon47]

You know how Doug mentions how Doc Ock's wife is just a throwaway character in the movie? Well, oddly enough, she isn't in the Spiderman 2 video game. After she dies, Doc Ock's mind completely snaps, he rants about it through the whole game, accuses Spiderman of "killing" her, sends henchman after him, and it's his only motivation for rebuilding the sun machine at the end. I don't understand why they couldn't just do that in the movie. It would've made it more interesting.

[@SoBlurrific]

oddly enough, the Spiderman 2 video game story is a lot better than the film. don't know how that's possible

[@generalcoon47]

SimonDP It was. Especially the story arc with Black Cat and Spiderman teaming up and him debating whether to follow her example and just give up Peter Parker altogether. That alone could have an entire movie. Sure, some of it was for game play reasons, but some of it clearly wasn't and it was great.

[@kaankaraca2001]

Even though Spider-Man 2 is one of my least favorite films, the video game really is amazing. Truly, every problem I have with the movie is fixed in the video games. Doc Ock has a great motivation, Peter is likeable, the story makes perfect sense and it's satisfying. As someone who despises the Original Spider-Man trilogy, whenever I'm in a fun Spider-Man and not into deep and serious Amazing Spider-Man feel at that moment (even though I love those films), I play Spider-Man 2: The Video Game.

Instead, we got the tragic Jekyll-and-Hyde-type villain, which isn't really the Green Goblin. I prefer it when Norman is in control, it makes him all the more interesting because of how evil he can be. As for the best part, I personally thought the actual best part of that movie was J. Jonah Jameson, because he made me laugh intentionally. Willem Dafoe made me laugh because of how ridiculous his character was.

[@WillieManga]

I kinda love Willem Dafoe's acting. I'd like to say he can even make a live action adaptation of an anime somewhat worthwhile! Sure proved that in Death Note! As for here, his over the top performance made this film for me. However, the scariest aspect has gotta be Norman Osborne himself. Seeing his sanity deteriorate over time, slowly eating away at the disgraced scientist until he becomes Spider Man's equivalent of the Joker. Granted, Joker successfully got Batman to choose one individual over the other, but Green Goblin was also willing to destroy a bunch of innocent lives. Honestly, that's the sort of character Venom should have had in his own movie when he received it. I didn't hate the Venom movie, but like Critic said when reviewing it, it wasn't the ideal Venom we could have gotten. Probably the scariest Goblin moment for me was a brief one, but if you look close enough, you can see Norman's expression, especially his mouth when he says this: "... but now that you really pissed me off... I'm gonna finish [Mary Jane] nice... and slow." He gives off a god damn slasher smile as he's saying that line, one far creepier than his helmet's expression. And that is why Willem Dafoe is the best part of Spider Man's first movie.

The problem with how they did the black suit was that they showed a lot of the "getting high" but didn't properly show the "coming down." The black suit gave him confidence and power, but aside from that one moment of hitting MJ he never questioned what the suit was doing to him. They never had a moment of him questioning what he was becoming, but rationalizing that he needed the suit despite the risks. They really needed something like the dream of the costumes fighting over him that was in the comics. Or go completely over the top like the 90's cartoon did, where Spider-Man was becoming a bloodthirsty psychopath (Although good luck topping Chris Daniel Barnes' performance on that.)

I actually found Green Goblin super scary as a kid. Even to the point where I wouldn't watch Spiderman One again after seeing it the first time! 😂

[@BHADDay]

Venom was actually put into Spiderman 3 at the last minute

[@joeyghostx]

matt fahringer Must be for the license time limit that was about to end on the Spider-Man movie name.

[@MorisUmbra]

matt fahringer they said the Lizard would have been in the 4th film

[@pursuing222]

Really? we didn't know that! Thanks for informing all of us!

[@thesutton3255]

joeyghost Sony had all the rights then and still does now so time wasn't really an issue. Plus most of those actors are nobodies so i doubt that was a problem. IDK why they tried to pact so many people into that movie why did Venom and Sandman need to be i n the same movie.

Well, they kinda made fun of the american flag thing in the new spiderman movies. You know, that scene in the Amazing Spiderman 2 with the laundry.

[@bumfricker2487]

Not really, regardless of whether it falls flat, the emo thing was intentionally awkward and over-the-top, and at least Maguire was a strong enough actor to do a convincing job for what it is.

[@Kartissa]

Well, when he wasn't talking, Hayden Christensen wasn't that bad....

[@Saiyangoddess72]

For number 2 That's actually exactly how it was in Jekyll and hyde. When he takes the potion all of his rudeness, anger, intimidation, etc is all bottled up into the other personality leaving the original personality nicer and more timid

[@haveyboythebighuggerkid7733]

When i saw the dance scene, my eyes were burning.

[@risuwolf]

There's someone who goes to a bunch of cons around my area and one of their cosplays is Emo Peter. They spend the entire time in said cosplay dancing around the con and posing. It is the best friggin' thing!

[@catalinamelo9932]

When the Bat-card appeared, I laughed so much, love your voice

[@Segagens]

I thought the prayer recital had a very clear message. It's a very mean way of bullying, and saying "your God won't save you". He is making fun of her faith to demean her. It's a nice touch, I think. Emo Peter and the dance part are amazing. I loved every second of them. But I watched all of the movies just as movies. I didn't have much knowledge of the Spider-man lore and didn't care if they were going to be good or not. I liked all of them, even though they are silly.

"His colors are red, white and blue how much more American can you get?!" Well considering France, UK, Australia, New Zealand and many other countries also use those colours for their flags I'd say you can get way more American than that.

[@DipperPines1986]

Also Russia

[@k-leb4671]

Australia doesn't really like using red, white, and blue much to represent itself. Gold and green are more often used, or the colours of the Aboriginal flag. But the UK definitely bleeds red, white, and blue, as well as France.

[@Vinthechad]

I grew up with these movies & they mean a lot to me to this day. Tobey Maguire will always still be my definitive Spider-Man

[@bossstar4770]

Spiderman 3 is what introduced me to Venom and Sandman, like how Spiderman 2 is what introduced me to Doctor Octopus, and Spiderman is what introduced me to Spiderman and his greatest foe, the Green Goblin. I love all three movies. Honestly, Venom looks better the way he does in Spiderman 3.

I agree with Venom in the 3rd movie. I think I heard that the studio kept interfering and demanded Venom be put in even though Sam Rami said no. But hey, maybe the stand alone Venom next month will make up for it

As much as I love this list, the part where MJ and Harry are making eggs and doing the twist, probably should have been on here.

[@IcepickL]

I think Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin was one of the only redeeming parts of the first film. I don't think he was supposed to be serious.

[@phantomzone2725]

Oh God, Emo Peter... that was the reason I walked out in Spider-Man 3 exhibition. And the first movie was made for kids, so obviously the dialogue had to be corny. And HEY, Dafoe was a great choice to Green Goblin (maybe over-the-top, but he was incredible), even better than *cough* Topher Grace as Venom

[@atomicspid2129]

I hate emo peter but I like the rest of the raimi trilogy

[@wolfpax181]

Hey, I'm not the only one that bailed on the movie at that point! You know how it really ends yet? I still haven't tried to get past it.

[@phantomzone2725]

wolfpax181 It's all Spidey-fans fault. They really wanted Venom on a Spider-Man movie, forcing the poor Sam Raimi to compact the entire Alien Costume storyline in a three-and-a-half hour movie. Damn you fans!

[@wolfpax181]

***** The only good thing about Venom being in 3 I found is it was set up for Carnage. ...I'm still waiting.

[@phantomzone2725]

wolfpax181 I still want a Spider-Man 4 rather than that unnecessary reboot with Andrew Garfield.

[@klaushammer8687]

I love that venom had raptor noises. It was so great. Very menacing. Captured venom perfectly. Reality, I like the whole movie, except for when venom shows up

[@DdDD-de4ec]

in the comics, Jonah Jameson's son the astronaut who marrying mary jane is actually the werewolf, a villain of spiderman.

The astronauts name is John Jameson and he was a villain in the comics called man wolf so I think maybe they should've used him as the next villain

"How much more American can you get?" *Captain America has entered the game*

[@isetmfriendsofire]

Spider-Man 3 is my favorite one, even though a lot of things piss me off in it. The main, thing, though, Venom should have been just introduced at the very end, last scene. It should have shown him either finding the alien, or just cut to him in his house, already in possession of it, planning on attacking Spidey. Then Venom could take up the next movie, or even the next TWO movies because, well, the villain doesn't ALWAYS have to fucking die at the end.
