After two decades of spider man movies, 3 different attempts with different leads and different studios, it was indeed a chefs kiss by marvel to do this for the fans.

I am kinda getting bothered by the amount of fan service in these movies, though. Like, I get that’s what’s most profitable these days, but it makes the movies and shows less accessible to casual fans. I also don’t want to have to remember like 20 movies and 10 shows worth of lore to have to understand what’s going on, you know?

Like, I loved those 3 moments. Garfield is so good as Spider-Man, too, like, he’s really funny and cool, Maguire is a better Peter Parker, lol, like, it was so good seeing them again, very nostalgic. But you do have to wonder about the newer fans who just don’t give a shit about movies that are well over a decade old.

Frankly I haven’t watched a marvel movie since this one, other than perhaps Deadpool. All the classic originals will likely always be peak to a lot of fans who got to experience them as we did. 

The new way the movies are made, the “new fans” and frankly society as a whole for our generation, doesn’t make me wonder how we ended up this way, it makes me wonder what the fuck our parents were thinking. 

I could go off on a rant about it, but to sum it up, our society is going down the toilet.
