Would think there'd be a lot more press for Ant-Man considering it's coming out next month

Yea, I guess. That doesn't make me think Peter Parker, but I only care so much. Shitty article doesn't put up a picture of the new Spidey.

I feel sorry for Andrew Garfield. I think he did a great job and certainly his chemistry with Emma Stone was great, but ultimately it wasn't enough to launch a whole Spider Franchise.

I liked him just fine, but the hate for him was rabid in the movie threads. Bitches trying to say Parker doesn't make jokes with every breath he takes, yet look in the comics, and yup, making jokes in damn near every panel.

I didn't like him because he reminded me too much of Jean ralphio. It's superficial, but I just couldn't get passed it

I didn't make the connection before, but...yeah, this was sorta my problem with him, as well. He came off, to me, as less "biting and sarcastic" and more "douche". I don't think changing his character would have helped me to like those movies anyway, so I don't hate him or anything...it was just another reason among many not to like those movies.

Who the fuck said anything like that? Please, find the post(s) where people say the problem with him istoo muchwisecracking. In the first movie he did almost none of that, plus the action was shit the story was retarded the directing was awful the writing was atrocious and him as the character in general was immensely unlikeable.

2nd movie was slightly better but still shit. Sweet dubstep powers for Electro though.


He did have good chemistry with Emma Stone at least. More natural than Tobey/Dunst ever was.

I didn't mind Garfield or Emma Stone at all but the movies portrayed the villains incredibly badly.

Why they think everything has to be hip and cool and modernised is fucking beyond me. Lizard was shit, Goblin was shit, Electro was shit and Rhino was shit, that's what the problem was.

Seriously Paul Giammatti as Rhino, that's a bit of a stretch for my suspension of disbelief.

Problem with most comic book villans these days is that they all have to be conflicted or have a relatable reason for being the villan... we need more psychopath bad for the sake of bad guys less I'm dying/revenge/for my peoples/I was ignored villans

yes and no... there's nothing wrong with a villain with a motive. personally i'm not a big fan of being evil for evil's sake. the problem is that most villain backstories are just cliched and contrived. I'm not saying that characters like hannibal lector are being evil for evil's sake... his perspective is that he's the hero. he's a broken person and that's fine. i just don't want a villain that knows he's the villain and embraces it.
