While the end credits scene gets a lot of deserved hype I also really liked how during the credits you actually get a full version of the Spider-Man Christmas song, actually sung by Chris Pine.

It's funny how the most universally acclaimed Spider-Man film in recent memory is ultimately the brainchild of noted Spider-Man ruiner Dan Slott.

Also this movie has almost nothing in common with the comic storyline, aside from "spider-people from other dimensions team up" as a basic premise.

Even if Slott came up with "let's do a crossover with Spider-people!" he didn't come up with the alternate versions.

They're also clearly future-proofing Spider-Man 2099. You don't cast Oscar Isaac for a one-off gag that half the audience will never even see. And damnit, Stan's cameo came right as the cinema was surprisingly dusty. "It always fits. Eventually."

Yeah I'm not trying to make any kind of point, just saying it's funny. But that basic premise is definitely more important than whatever MacGuffin that motivates it even in the original, and it did come out of his head, so...?

Having mark fuckerberg as a supervillain isn't necessarily a terrible idea but they should've gone for the irl robotman version instead of the whimsical theatric type in the movie cuz the actor doesn't have the charisma for it

I don't really follow Spider-Man comics, so is it just a movie thing that Gwen is called Spider-Woman? Because I thought they went with a different hero name for her.

No, Gwen is known as Spider-Woman in her own book. There have been cartoons and stuff like that where they've referred to her as "Ghost-Spider" (which is terrible) just to differentiate her from the other Spider-Woman, though.

Ghost Spider is actually good and that is the title of her book now. Spider Gwen is a good name for branding but a terrible hero name for obvious reasons.

FlamingLiberal posted:Does Sony also own the rights to Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman? The name Spider-Woman yes, the character Jessica Drew is a little murkier. Apparently Marvel can use her if she’s not Spider powered. Like as SHIELD or something.

She was always Spider-Woman as far as her in universe code name. They used Spider-Gwen as branding to differentiate her from the other Spider-Women/Girls they had. And like it's been stated, they recently changed it to Ghost Spider, which is cool and ghost spiders are a real thing.

These two phrases say more about the writer's bias regarding Slott than I think it does about Slott himself. I mean it's a bad idea either way, but the latter is such a gross notion that I can't fathom that being an idea anyone actually legitimately presents, whereas I can see the former being "well, she's not a big part of the story, so what makes her instantly recognisable as Gwen in a crowd shot".

I searched and here's the actual quote from Slott on it.quote:It's really weird, because for the most part, the thing that became "Amazing Spider-Man" #9 had a lot of stuff in it that was done and in a drawer for a year -- back when it was an issue of "Superior Spider-Man." I always knew Spider UK was coming. There was always going to be a Gwen Stacy who was bitten by a spider and became the Spider-Woman of her world. There were certain characters that were just always there.
