just because somebody is a fast runner doesn't necessarily mean that he is not clumsy
I was a very fast runner when I was a teenager, and I am a neurodivergent with Dyslexia,Dyspraxia,and ADHD
Dyspraxia is a neurodivergent condition that has to do with problems with coordination/motor skills
it's known as Clumsy Child Syndrome
I had motor skills therapy to help correct my Dyspraxic weaknesses when I was a kid
I created a thread about Dick Grayson/Nightwing and Koriand'r/Starfire. It is to acknowledge and honor their iconic and popular relationship.
I created a fan page about Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson. This page is for all the Spider-Marriage fans.
Not exactly, Peter was stalking Gwen. I just think that scene was a chance encounter.
Generally it is, in the context used he didn't really stalk before meeting her for the first time, and they both laughed and chucked it aside.[/QUOTE]
I looked up a transcript of the movie (http://transcripts.wikia.com/wiki/Th...g_Spider-Man_2).
The conversation is as follows:
So, no, I don't think he was stalking her before they met in the first movie (although considering he was spying on her a secretly taking snapshots, who can say?).Gwen: "Um...yeah. So I did that, and I got completely addicted to this place that has Korean meatballs."
Peter: "Yeah."
Gwen: "Have you been there?"
Peter: "No, I don't know."
Gwen: "It's mind blowing.
Peter: "It's the place on 6th. I know, you love it there."
Gwen: "How do you know that?"
Peter: "Hm?"
Gwen: "How do you know I love it there?"
Peter: "Cause um...cause you told me."
Gwen: "It just opened last month. Have you been following me? I knew it. How often?"
Peter: "Just once a day, sometimes. Sometimes more."
However, by his own admission he was following her "once a day...sometimes more" on a regular basis after they broke up (all off-screen). That is the definition of stalking. (I'm seriously surprised that they tried to pass that off as cute instead of being disturbing.)
This video has a lot that I disagree with, starting with saying a good movie is terrible, and then calling Peter one dimensional.
Interesting.
I meant the gargoyle moment.
I know, that's why I was saying if she's ok with it.
I like to look at it at a use of a trope I saw in romance genre films and anime; one of them secretly follows the other after a breakup, either because they miss the relationship partner, or a strange perverted way of showing concern, but it usually ends up in the other person bickering.

Not sure about the one-dimensional part (while I don't think Garfield was a very good Peter Parker/Spider-Man, he didn't play a flat character), but I don't think ASM1 was a good movie. At best, I think it was a pretty uninspired superhero movie that really didn't do anything unique.
I think we're taking about the same moment.
Maybe? I think the thing is that the movie was trying to say: "See? They belong together," while what I got out of it was: "Gwen is in an unhealthy relationship." Look, nothing in the original movie really sold me on them being a couple (there's no development of the relationship, no depth to it, nothing that really explains why they even like each other in the first place), so I was hoping that the sequel would fix that. Instead, by the end, I was thinking that Gwen made the right choice to break up with him for good when going to England.
So, maybe I'm being harder on this scene than I would otherwise be, since I went into the movie expecting a more fleshed out story in this regard. Probably didn't help that I was comparing to Peter's girlfriend stories in the original movies and Ultimate comics (the latter of which the Webb movies were based on), both of which had a better love story dynamic in terms of characterization and story arc, IMHO.

While I defend Andrew as the character and think he's both the best in the role and had the take I connect with the comics more than Maguire's and Holland's, I could not -for any thinkable reason- buy their romance as starting anything more than a wild crush, development of it is quite clunky.
