Marvel was pretty smart to take that kind of approach to their films so that there can be variety among their catalog. They made over 20 films in a span of a decade, so it's vital that they try to differentiate their films. The reason we don't see that kind of sub-genre labeling on Bond films is because Bond is practically its own sub-genre in the action/adventure department. It'll borrow elements of trends of the times, but CASINO ROYALE to QUANTUM OF SOLACE is not quite as jarring as say THE FIRST AVENGER to THE WINTER SOLDIER.
I don't think the marketing of subgenres is over-emphasized, it's pretty well emphasized as it is.
I get that they’re dressed up in those clothes, but it’s all very shallow and is still just a Marvel superhero underneath. First Avenger might have some old cars in it, but that’s not enough to make it an Indy-style pulp adventure. It’s like jumping from a Captain America film to a Captain America film.
Emphasising it at all is overemphasis, I’d say! :)
I did not bother with the leaked trailer its looked like a lot of pre vis.
Some familiar faces are back.
I am not a huge fan of the way the Tom Holland films are shot.
Great seeing Alfred Molina.
A lotta leaks have suggested thst we'll see multiverse characters in the film (Tom Cruise Iron Man, Captain Carter, etc.) So it wouldn't surprise me if Maguire and Garfield show up in Multiverse of Madness to tie into No Way Home
Funny to watch two English people playing these superheroes. Plus Molina! :D
I love the Cruise Iron Man idea; that’d be fun to see after all these years!
That's good for sure though the recent leak will be concerning to SONY, if memory serves they had issues with Spectre leaks, though I managed to avoid them at the time.
It wouldn’t surprise me if he had a say in some of the behind the scenes of it, namely the story. Maybe he’ll get a producer credit, to make up for Spider-Man 3.
I didn’t mind the first but I would say the second is a bit of a disappointment: there’s a whole stretch of the plot in the middle which requires the main characters to sit around doing nothing.
I hated the first one and couldn't finish it, but loved the second one. I'd say give it a go.
Isn't it a bit out of character for Doctor Strange to agree to help Peter so easily?
If Doc Ock hasn't met this version of Peter Parker, is the big reveal going to be that he's speaking to Toby Maguire instead?
Alfred Molina looks great as Doc Oc! :-bd
Going by the first film it seems pretty in character given how arrogant he is, and he probably feels like he owes Peter a solid given he saved his life in INFINITY WAR.
My theory:
My sentiments exactly. I loved the first Guardians, but there was a whole lot of meandering in Vol. 2. They continued with the comedy and attempts at furthering character development but forgot to add any kind of a story. Mantis was a great new addition though. I just hope Vol. 3 has a bit more in the way of a plot.
We’ve had five movies of Spider-Man being Spider-Man already, so I think it makes sense that in this iteration it’s about Spider-Man being part of a larger universe rather than something insular. The thing that makes this unique is that Holland is now facing past iterations of the previous films.
I’m actually surprised that this isn’t coming out in May 2022. That would have marked 20 years of Spider-Man in cinemas, and seeing Holland facing off the villains of the past would have fit well with that.
Arguably I'd say that outside of the Avengers films, his have been the least standalone of the MCU, possibly alongside the last two Cap America films.
My problem is is that Spider-Man has always been overshadowed. I don’t get a great sense of who this Peter Parker really is, because he’s always going to Tony Stark or Dr Strange for help. I get that they are trying to do something different, but to me when they took Spider-Man out of New York and put him in Europe, it lost some of it’s identity.
