good follows bad.

if shes your girl why is she calling "woohoo boys" off her balcony and leading me into her apartment and letting me sit on her bed and telling me the reason these expensive linens aren't even soft is because sometimes things that are expensive are worse

Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy the mcu spiderman movies and I think tom holland is one of the best peter parker’s we’ve ever had. That being said, the mcu spiderman movies are by no means actually spiderman movies. And it’s not like any of the other less popular mcu characters where this is the first adaptation and people might not know too much about the comics, this is spiderman, perhaps the single most iconic and popular superhero in all of marvel comics. There’s so much lore and history to this character, and we’ve had so many adaptations that have set the foundation of what we expect from spiderman media. And there are certain iconic elements of peter parker’s story that you just cannot erase. His relationship with ben and may, how he was shaped by the loss of his parents then his uncle, his financial struggles, the fact that he’s very much a friendly neighbourhood spiderman. And not in the condescending way the mcu does it, but more so in the fact that he fights for people who no one else would care for. He’s not meant to be out there leading the avengers in intergalactic wars especially not as a sixteen year old. The mcu movies have stripped peter of his identity as spiderman and made him ir*n man jr. We don’t see his relationship with uncle ben or even aunt may because he now has t*ny. Every villain he faces is a direct product of t*ny and only fights peter because of his association with him. There are no iconic spiderman villains, no iconic spiderman characters, there’s nothing but regurgitated ir*n man storylines to fit him into a narrative that was never his. And I wish stans acknowledged why we are so angry about it, it’s not just blind hatred for t*ny or the ir*n man cinematic universe, it’s valid criticism for a story that shares nothing with the legacy of spiderman other than a name.

overheard kaz in the bathroom mutter to himself “im gonna turn that bitch into burgers”. what did he mean by this?

there’s not one (1) reason to hate on mcu pepper that doesn’t involve misogynistic tropes. she’s has the right to not put up with tony’s bullshit. she can be angry that he puts his own life in danger. she can be the boss and still be super feminine. she can be sharp, sassy and sweet at the same time. she has the right to say “we can’t be in a relationship until you start being an adult and taking responsibility for your own shit”, and she has the right to come back and be with him during the process. newsflash! complex characters have contradictions! it’s part of human nature! trying to take away complexity from a female character is being misogynistic.
