It's funny...

You were so scary at night.

All of the movies they're still going ahead with make sense, but I thought they'd pause a bit with Flashpoint. It feels like it could very much be another Justice League if they get too squirrelly.

Cyborg and Deathstroke almost certainly won't happen, but we'll almost certainly get a Nightwing and a few of the Harley Quinn and Joker movies.

Vulture rules and was one of the only memorable things about that movie. Sony should give Keaton a spin-off where he becomes an anti-hero trying to win his family back.

By the end of the movie the only reason he gives any shits about Peter is because he protected his property, it's amazing.

A kid named Keaton went viral after he was filmed crying and describing how he is bullied. Chris Evans invited Keaton and his mom to the Avengers premiere. Turns out his mom made some racist tweets

I mean, Vulture is a black-market arms dealer, putting alien technology into the hands of street criminals. That's not a good thing and he should have been stopped.

I'm not saying Iron Man is a great guy or anything.

On the other hand, Flashpoint is the perfect chance for them to completely kill Snyder's vision, plus letting Affleck go.

Peter's suit is the loving worst thing in the world.

The weird thing about his suit in Homecoming is just how bad some of the digital stuntwork is. There are digital doubles in the Raimi movies from 10 - 15 years ago that look less ropey than some of Spidey's flippydoo stuff in Homecoming, especially compositing-wise.

I think part of it might really be the fact that the suit in Homecoming *ALWAYS* looks fake, because the actual real life suit gets completely covered in CG gloss. There is almost never a moment where the suit looks like it should work, so we give it even less of a benefit of the doubt than we normally would.

The practical suit isn't even that bad looking but they completely smother it with CG smoothening from head to toe.


Also the action direction in the movie was kind of rear end.

Celtic, have I ever been insulting or hyperbolic towards you?

Have I ever been anything but honest and straight forward?

I do not presume you cannot read, so I'm going to gently remind you- that was not my complaint. You can re-read it again if you'd like and actually use your reading comprehension to figure out the riddle of the puzzle you have some how construed

Or

I'll explain it here and just make it extra, super duper, completely transparent


It is not the issue that he is acting like a kid, that is fine. He's young. The issue is that he's acting like an entitled, over excited, incompetent moron who has no idea of personal responsibility for his actions.

This is not a flaw in and of itself. This is how Peter always acts when he first gets his powers. He becomes a very selfish person, indulges in the worst aspects of his nature.

With this Peter it even makes sense that he'd think about being a super hero instead of benefiting himself DIRECTLY.

He has a very shallow idea of what being super hero means but that's fine. The problem is that he acts like this for the entire movie until the last third.

The moment Peter, in every continuity, loses Uncle Ben is the moment he learns his actions have consequences and he respects his power. He takes responsibility for what he does and who he chooses to be. Notably this Peter isn't that much younger than any other one in the previous movies.

It's just instead of a moment of loss that brings him to this realization and starts making him act like Spider-Man, it's his own life being put in danger and then him remembering Daddy Stark giving him a big emotional speech.

They literally substitute Uncle Ben for Tony Stark and that is the most infuriating thing in the world on a subjective level, and they only have this change kick in, again, at the end of the movie.


Anything else you're confused about Celtic?

Burkion is clearly saying that Uncle Ben's death would fundamentally change Peter Parker and keep him from acting like a "typical" kid. I don't necessarily agree but that's what he's saying.
