Unpopular opinion - the MCU Spider-Man movies are the weakest of the MCU movies
I'd say this is fairly popular actually, MCU Spidey seems to be like the quirky H&M Peter Parker with the depth of a middle school locker. But since he had such a tight bond with Stark and the MCU is so massive, there's bound to be Stans who attach themselves at the hip. His films feel like Disney XD Originals, and less like the independent true-to-himself, self-raised, queens born native with a heart of steel that we've seen in the original 6 films.
People can say what they will about TASM and TASM2, but they had heart, artistic integrity, absolutely iconic scores, and a unique direction that felt like something straight from
his comic books, they were faithful but had twists. Same goes for Tobey's, these films felt independent, self contained, but chocked full with content and potential. MCU Spidey feels like
The Wonderful and Mischievous Adventures of the Spider Boy and his Illustrious Motley Crew
Another thing I don't get is the complaint that Garfield was a hipster and not a geek?? Is there like, a look for an introverted geek? is this still the 50s? He was a relatable geek, because they're not all stereotypical.
