I’d have to disagree for a lot of reasons:
- Because college kids *are* young adults; it’s still a time of transition, yes, but you are no longer by any remaining definition a child, and have thus...

If you think Spider-Man must be just a coming of age drama, then you should just stick him in high school forever, and either you just never get him out of it, or you reboot it whenever he gets ready...
In general regarding this topic, not just with MJ, I think it’s important to recognize that the larger franchise has done an unimpeachable job of making the world think of a young, rookie Spider-Man...
I’m going to organize mine a bit, to kind of point out where various niches can be filled without overlap.
“Big 3 Gothamites” - the baseline human criminals who can be big damn deals or more...
I actually would argue that Felicia is *an* iconic love interest for Peter - but that like Gwen, she inhabits a niche separate from a "the one" type of love interest that MJ is.
Whereas Gwen, for...
An interesting thing to note here:
"Action Figure" or "Barbie Doll" writing of plot-tool-characters tends to actually become fun and entertaining once it's put in a comedic light, because comedy...
At the same time, though, it’s the lack of even a charade of fleshing out the “character” of Paul that adds some salt to the wound, since the lack of honest “craft” and interest on the part of the...
#1- That it was possible to mix both absolute “auteur director” creativity and perfectionism with elite-level “toyetic” merchandising drive and a desire to “pander” to as large of an audience as...
It’s weird how much this highlights the difference in creative philosophies between the 90’s and the 10’s/early 20’s.
You could argue that editorial is being capriciously bossy towards creators...
Some of that economic obsession with the GOP is probably left-over Reagan-era propaganda, since Reagan defined his generation of politicians on the explosive 80’s economy and turned back most for the...
The Snap/Blip could also be used as the main catalyzing event for an "outbreak" of mutants on strictly a stress level, and for conspiracy theories against and about them in the MCU blaming them for...
That's how I felt about both of the last two Raimi movies.:p
Garfield in Amazing 2 was the closest we got to the quippage, and actually made that part of the movie memorable; I still think that...
See, I've been wondering if it might be more clever and engaging if MCU Logan, whether played by Jackman or a new actor, is actually kept away from the core X-Men team and either treated more as a...
I think context may be the biggest deal here.
Personally, I regard Logan's time as a straightforward protagonist over thanks to Logan, and would thus find a simple "last hurrah" to be redundant,...
A thing to note is that there's a possibility this movie could set-up a more traditional Wolverine being heartbroken over the loss of his team, with flashbacks showing him as the grumpy but sincere...
One thing I could see them do that would be pretty different would be to use this Peter’s fall in fortunes to progress him to the smartass Spider-Man that later comics embraced - and just play it as...
I’d add that I don’t think this is actually a “comedy release” - I suspect that Wolverine’s part of the story is probably just going to be straight forward action and drama, and that Deadpool will...
I feel like the film has two main pathways it could take:
- The more boring but still probably fun option is "Ryan and Hugh in a Greatest Hits of the Foxverse using the MCU multiverse concept that...
It’s almost like Peter (and to an extent, MJ as his love interest) did such an effective job ending the repetitive and overtly cyclical Silver Age that the entire industry changed to follow him,...
The Last Jedi didn’t try to do anything different regarding the same old family drama and Chosen One/Destiny narrative - it just did exactly that for Luke and Kylo, but in a self-obsessed hipster...
I think I’d have to add this to the discussion - the popularity and proliferation of high school Spider-Man alongside the continued appearances of older married Spider-man might have seriously...
Definitely - but especially if he’s not a Skywalker family member, plus I don’t think any of the rest of the ST would play out the way it did if he were both black and not a Skywalker.
It’s the...
I think the keyword here might actually be "internet feminists" - because I believe the actual statistics showed that the ST's audience became consistently more male, older and white as it went on,...
I think that, given the military power of the United States and the rise of the religious right in the US, people sort of expected that any would-be fascist dictator would be more personally...
Well, we’re talking about a very clear example of a blind spot and some accompanying denial on their part in general here. We all know that guys like Dan Scott are going to insist that Ultimate’s...
