Howard was the highest paid actor on Iron Man. He was the first one they signed. When he saw how much RDJ was gonna get he thought he deserved the same money.
Yeah, that's actually a very cool scene. Spiderman isn't a pushover. I think he has consistently been able to pick up cars and wrestle around villains like Lizard and Rhino so that's really cool. I liked his voice though. I was actually afraid they would he wouldn't have a youthful, witty tone. Since they're doing a young Spiderman i'm glad he's kind of a wise-cracker and still taking it all in. Doesn't sound like he'll get lost in the shuffle.
Havent been too many good spidey movie scenes that demonstrates his awesome strength. There may have been but none i can conjure up which could be because Tobey ruined it and Electro ruined the other.
They did a decent job of showing it in the Tobey ones, I didn't watch the latest one though. In the Tobey ones he was able to lift those cable cars and stop a train, and held nearly a whole steel building up.
Yeah, in the comics he lifts cars without any problems, and can even pick up some larger tucks (The cab of a semi). People often say 'ten or twenty tons' for whatever that is worth. In the comics though, yeah his raw physical strength is well above most of the others in the film except maybe Vision as full density.
