I thought that was made clear several times: he SOLD the weapons to other criminals.
Most of the time, his tail didn’t spit acid, it was more like a battering ram. It would look incredibly silly as a straight live-action translation, so I have a feeling they’ll make it more like a Predator-style over-the-shoulder gun mounted on a backpack with a powered exoskeleton to allow him to carry it.
Yes, out of a van under a bridge. My point is I don’t recall any news reports, even in passing, that there was an increase in crimes committed with exotic weapons. If they’re being bought, why aren’t they being used?
Pretty sure it’s the same – Ben and May took care of Peter after his parents died, and then at some point before the movie started, Ben died.
Spider-Man is only concerned with what happens right in his neighborhood. He’s a 15 year old kid who’s trying to go to school and be a local superhero…he might not be watching the news from New Jersey or Chicago or even Brooklyn.
My memory of it was fuzzy but there was scene where they discussed how they were keeping things very quiet but someone made a mistake and over reached which brought them unwanted attention.
As I wrote above, this gang would have made a great Agents of SHIELD villain. In fact it was kind of weird how SHIELD was not even mentioned other than a mention of the Triskelion.
Wouldn’t the Vulture’s apparatus be worth more than anything he’d gain as a criminal? Or was that question answered?
That would be a one-time score. Having the flying suit made it possible for him to keep stealing from Damage Control and maintaining a steady stream of income.
My girlfriend says there’s a momentary cameo by Phil Coulson at the ATM after the attempted robbery, but I missed it.
Seems like this hasn’t been mentioned anywhere else yet, maybe she was confused.
BTW I’m going to pretend putting an invisible plane in the movie was a dig at DC.
I’ve been burnt out with the Avengers and Guardians, so I only went to this because the reviews were good. I found it really enjoyable. Loved Ned and the learning curve. Michael Keaton was excellent and believable. Marisa Tomei was a little bit wasted.
So if Spider-Man wants to face relatively localized street-level challenges, are we going to to see him making cameos in the Defenders?
Zero chance, the TV shows and the movies are in a shared universe in name only. You’ll get a few name drops in the TV show, but they will never be acknowledged in the movies.
I loved this. They did a great job with the characters. It was funny. I wanted to smack Stark. The Cap videos were a good touch (he’s a probably a war criminal but I have to show you this). It was just a fun movie.
It was a reference back to the scene where Peter spotted the flares from the party. When they were demoing weapons under the bridge for the buyer. They were supposed to sell underground, so they wouldn’t get seen but they broke the rules and did it in the open.
Max Gargan was the scorpion hence the neck tattoo of a scorpion.
Netflix couldn’t possibly afford Tom Holland.
Does this iteration of S-M have silk glands, or does he use web shooters like in the comic books?
Web shooters. You even see him mixing some formula, and where he keeps his stash.
That was because they were updating the idea based on how we tend to view outcasts in high school.
In the 60s he was always called “bookworm” parker but of course this is a more modern version and Flash Thompson instead of being a popular jock bully is more of this preppie rich kid who treats him with contempt.
“Ned” is probably Ned Leeds who he didn’t run into in the comic series until he got into the Daily Bugle. In addition to eventually marrying Betty Brant(who does show up in the movie) he actually eventually becomes a villain, the Hobgoblin. Whether they’ll go that route we’ll see.
Perhaps I’m missing a joke but she says at the end “call me MJ” so she’s pretty clearly supposed to be their version of Mary Jane.
Also “Liz” was almost certainly supposed to be “Liz Allen”(though obviously they changed the name) his first crush in high school.
Her father wasn’t a super criminal but it eventually turned out her brother was The Molten Man. She also eventually married Harry Osbourne.
