The joke was, it was both.


The Question IRL posted:

My favorite thing about this song is that it was written because lead vocal and guitarist, Noddy Holder, was nagged by his Mother-in-Law about how he should just produce a Christmas song because she had read in the newspaper about how much royalties that Bing Crosby gets for his Christmas hits.

He then goes and writes this song, one of the all time greatest Christmas song that will continue to make him money for the rest of his life. And when he went back to his Mother-in-Law she basically just said "Yeah but it's still not as famous as Bing Crosby's songs."

Which just goes to show, there's no pleasing some people.

Especially Mothers in Law. That song is used in every single Doctor Who Xmas Special, and it drives me nuts.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

I just want some Hanukkah song to go mainstream other than Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel. That thing is the "I have a black friend" of Christmas music.

I'm pretty sure Debicki is the villain

She's playing Kismet or "Her" as people might know her. Adam Warlock's counterpart.

So far we know that she hires the Guardians to fight the monster we see in the trailer. We know the Ravagers are mad at Yondu for letting Quill go, and the Guardians break Yondu out of somewhere, and he also gets his larger fin while he joins the team.

Nebula and Mantis also join up with the team at some point.

The Guardians will probably end up fighting Kismet.

There are scenes on Earth.

Oh, yeah, I read an article about that a while ago and it was talking about how Noddy Holder and Jim Lea still make something like £300,00 a year off "Merry Xmas Everybody".

It's like the story about a fan asking Don McLean what "American Pie" meant, and he replied, "It means I never have to work again."

Love how its getting more Ditko inspired with the design, this will be a good movie; especially since it seems like Peter isn't going to be as mopey as he is in other films. Plus Tony as Peter's mentor will be great.

If you don't like mopey Peter Parker, you might not actually like Spider-man.

Say Watt?

I for one am excited that this movie isn't trying to be an adaptation of Ditko/Romita issues and is instead working with what they've got, which is the circumstance of him showing up after the MCU has been well-established (however it will work with the Sony/Marvel divide) and as someone who's been allied with the Avengers within Year One. Spider-Man to me isn't like Superman or Batman where he works just as well if not better if he's the only hero who exists. Spider-Man works better in the context of other heroes who exist because he sees how it's supposed to work with the big time guys like the FF or Iron Man or Cap and goes hey, why doesn't it work like that for me? Being supplied by Iron Man dilutes that somewhat but Spider-Man's schtick is about a lot more than his equipment.

Contrarian opinion:

It doesn't look or feel extraordinarily different from the last couple of tries. The freshest thing about it is RDJ, a lot of other stuff feels like "Oh, it's this. We've been here before."

That was my opinion of Spidey in CW. He didn't do anything different from Andrew Garfield until the apartment scenes.

To be fair, adding Iron Man into it is already a pretty big difference from the previous movies, and I think it would be neat if the MCU Spider-Man movies are basically Spider-Man Team Up movies.

Weird song choice but the trailer was fun. Agreed though that I didn't get that much a different vibe between this and Garfield's Spiderman except that Peter actually looks like a high school kid outside of the costume. Probably the best parts of the trailer was the RDJ stuff.

This kid is giving me a kind of young Tobey Maguire but with more range vibe

Overall, looks very promising.

I thought Tobey was a good Peter, and Andrew a good Spider-man, but from what I saw in CW, Tom Holland is good at being both. Peter being a pretty street-level New Yorker, though, I think it would have been more realistic if he'd referred to the Hulk as "the big green guy".

I feel a little uncomfortable they are clearly just doing Miles and Ganke but replacing them with Peter and Ned Leeds of all people.

The film looks good but that's sort of a "eeeh" moment.

Also having a big black spider-button to flash dem tiddies take off the costume seems like an...ill-advised feature. Combat-wise.
