One bad Scrubs plot is Elliot sleeping with a subordinate and giving him preferential treatment because of it, and the lesson JD learns is to support Elliot when the other subordinates complain about it.

Spider-Man 2 wasn’t boring. 3 was boring. It was the only movie I ever fell asleep in a theatre during. 2 was cheesy but that’s like most of the well known stories that aren’t just spider mans life suck

To be fair, it was mixed messaging. Keith was the best intern but Elliot loving him didn't let people see it so JD said he would take over assignments and give them to the best intern, who was Keith.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Been said before but I think it's inevitable with every comedy and drama that goes on too long, every character ends up a cartoonish parody of themselves. The only show where I think this works in its favor is Always Sunny. Though some disagree, I think it only makes sense. The longer the gang depends on each other to insulate themselves in their own toxic traits and their refusal to ever become better people, the more deranged, sad, and pathetic they become.

They even directly mention this a few times in the later seasons. Isn’t it a big part of why Dennis wanted to leave at the end of season…12 I think?

A lot about the black suit Peter Parker sequences make sense considering it's basically a metaphor for a total dork who gets into cocaine.

It was possibly the best sequence in the movie but Spider-Man is seemingly a serious character to his fans.

Personally I'm gonna say Iron Man didn't age well for me because the final battle skips over a perfectly good way to end the fight and just drags on instead, which seemingly inspired every other Marvel movie to have endless, meaningless action sequences.

Sam Raimi's Spider-Man wasn't perfect but I feel like he was the only director of superhero movies that really embraced the fundamental camp of the genre. Every comic book movie that is now 4 miserable hours long and demands to be taken with the utmost sincerity makes me long for the days of the Green Goblin skeletonizing city hall with wacky music playing in the background.

The problem with Sam Raimi's Spider-Man is that it wasn't based on the newspaper comic version of the character. I want a Spider-Man who's an angry moron. I want a Peter Parker who goes to the doctor with his Spider-Man costume on underneath his clothes; who buys a plane ticket as Peter Parker and shows up to the airport as Spider-Man; who barges into the TV station to debate the newsreader who said something bad about him, and loses. That's a hero I can relate to.

Yea they were cheesy, but it was done with absolute loving reverence for Stan Lee’s cheesy rear end style.. trying to cram in venom to that milleu absolutely didn’t work. I think he did the best he could, and I like his very Stan lee ish take on venom and Eddie, but I think venom proper should have been left out for another movie. Edit I forgot the very dumb butler “oh I never told you your dad was the green goblin and died fighting spider-man? Something that would have saved everyone a lot of trouble? Weird.” Ambitious Spider has a new favorite as of 14:29 on Sep 5, 2021 |

Like early Spider-Man not only wasn’t very campy but was actively mean spirited. It mellowed out thankfully but still

The Disney marvel movies play things so straight that they’re boring while also poisoning any genuine emotion with ironic distance. I keep thinking about that scene in Dr. Strange where his cape wipes his tears away seconds after his mentor dies and he does some dumb quip about it right before a cut to another scene.

I know the symbiote isn't meant to be turning him evil per se, but I always love the idea of the hero turning evil and then his ideas of what that is being incredibly low-stakes and petty. Superman turns evil? His idea of villainy is straightening the leaning tower. Peter turns evil? Finger guns in the street.

I like Tobey Maguire but it's hard to tell how much liking him as Spiderman is a nostalgia thing versus him being a great fit for the role. Tbh I buy him more as a nerd than a superhero (a la Pleasantville, for example)

In the comic book Spiderverse story there is a bit where a bad guy ends up in the Newspaper reality but leaves when he realizes that he can't deal with how things work there.

He's brilliant, he's heroic, he's a jibber-jabbering snarkypants whose life is constantly almost coming apart at the seams. Being Spider-Man needs to suck and be awesome at the same time, and both the writing and Yuri Lowenthal's performance really sell it.

This doesn’t actually happen, though, and it always baffles me when some people seem to think it does. There’s a whole earnest scene between Strange and Christine after the Ancient One dies. It’s only after that, several minutes later when Strange is psyching himself up before going back into battle that the cape wipes his tears away. The emotional moment is given plenty of time to breathe.
