Andrew Garfield overall was probably the best actor that played Spider-Man….but oddly I still enjoy Tom Holland the most in the role….

Hopefully he gets some better opportunities…..maybe they'll make another Kingsman movie and throw him in it….

There was a time when Chris Hemsworth couldn't catch a break outside of Thor. Holland will get his.

Nowhere to go but up.
yes, and no.

the problem is that Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Spider-Gwen, Miles Morales... all are variations of the same thing.

it is fun when they are all together interacting, but individually, it will get boring and repetitive way too quickly

wish Sony would just sell the rights back to Disney for $1-2BB, take the cash, complete their purchase of Paramount, and go to town with some Paramount IP.

or at a minimum, sell back the live-action rights and retain the animated movie ones.
So strong disagree here. What makes all those characters, and many well written superheroes for that matter, unique is their backstories and secret identities.

Iron Man is compelling because of Tony Stark. Batman has become the identity while playing Bruce Wayne for the cameras. Steve Rogers was the ultimate patriot, Bruce Banner is one of the smartest people in the world, Matt Murdock is a blind attorney, etc.

Peter, Miles, and Wanda may all have similar abilities but they're very different characters for a variety of reasons. But they're also similar in the theme of "anyone can wear the mask" that's the heart of the Spider-Verse films.

And IMO Lord and Miller have killed it when it comes to respecting the original source material while giving us fresh, insanely entertaining takes on these characters. Excited to see what they do with this.

strong disagree back.

the backstories are such a small part of the movies, that it is pretty much irrelevant.

within the confines of the movies, they are just cookie-cutter copies of each other once the backstory has been dealt with.

and the villains are literal xeroxed variants of all the other existing versions of the same villains, per spider-person.
We spend a big part of both films with Miles in school and at home. Everything Peter does is driven by mistakes he feels he's made. Wanda feels guilty for the death of her Peter but has a hard time trusting anyone to get close to them. Far from irrelevant.

We don't spend a huge focus on all those things in these films because that isn't what the films are about. But that doesn't make them not unique characters.

As per the villains, I thought Doc "Oh hi Liv" Ock, Rennaisance era Vulture, The Spot, etc. were pretty fun and interesting takes but to each their own.

Honestly? I'd watch it. 1950s Vegas is unique/could be a lot of fun. And Swift is a decent enough actress, the question would be whether or not she could carry an entire eight episodes...

It doesn't matter how good she is. Swifties checking in to see it will be money in the bank for Marvel. Especially merch sales.

Bit parts. She has about as much acting experience as Lady Gaga had before she did A Star is Born.

She was in some movie called Valentine's day, I think. Probably something else I'm forgetting. She could probably handle the acting side, especially if the character is not too serious.

I believe the first movie she was credited to being in was "Valentines Day" which was basically a ripoff of "Love Actually"

And I only know this cause I was dragged to it by my then girlfriend now wife…..who's excited about going to watch Deadpool & Wolverine with me…..

So I guess I won in the end….

Swift has been in...

2022 - Amsterdam
2019 - Cats
2014 - The Giver
2010 - Valentine's Day

... plus all the "acting" she's done in her music videos, most of which she now directs as well.

She also recently wrote a movie for Searchlight Pictures, which she's set to direct after her latest tour. To that end, my guess is part of the appeal would be that she gets to direct an episode or two of this series as well.

Blonde Phantom? At least I'd heard of Madam Webb, and I've read thousands of comics.

I get it from a financial angle IF Swift signs on but if she doesn't, this is the new El Muerto.

Incredible.

I admittedly haven't seen a single one, save for her clips in Amsterdam.
