@ThanosReXXX I really did not like Andrew Garfield take on Spider-Man. He was over the top and it was cringy.

Tom Holland is indeed the best Spider-Man and I want for them to announce the next one with dear old Otto! Alfred Molina's Doc Ock was fantastic!

Tobby was also a fine Spider-Man but the poor (monetary) Spider-Man struggling with money to pay the rent. It was a good OLD trilogy.

@Zuljaras @eel @bimmy-lee i think you guys are the last ones who haven't replied as of yet. I backed the physical of the wonderful 101 and got a steam code i can't use, would you be interested in using it as i don't play on pc, if not ralizah said they'll take it if no one else wants it

NintendoByNature

@Eel understood. I might ask in the w101 thread then as one last chance. If no one, ralizah can claim it.

@Zuljaras Yeah, Garfield was indeed cringey as hell, and the furthest removed from the comics Spider-Man. Nothing "amazing" about it whatsoever. And don't even get me started on Jamie Foxx as Electro...
The only good thing in those movies was Emma Stone...

As for the original movies: well, I actually own the original trilogy, and I do really like Tobey Maguire's version of Spider-Man as well. It most definitely was the best superhero movie we could have gotten back in the day, and we did get it, so for me, it'll always be a positive experience.

On a side note: the "poor (monetary) Spider-Man struggling with money to pay the rent" was actually a thing in the comics for a LONG time, so that was perfectly in line with the character, seeing as he was a free-lance photographer for the Daily Bugle, always struggling to make ends meet and get paid. Especially due to his boss J. Jonah Jameson's hatred for Spider-Man, so at some point, even pictures of him, which Peter could obviously make quite easily, didn't quite cut it anymore.

And I also think that the movies still hold up pretty well today, including the special effects, so I still watch them from time to time.

@NintendoByNature Well, seems like you're stuck with your code, then.
Perhaps family or friends in the neighborhood that might be interested?

@ThanosReXXX haha good analogy during these times. I dont know if anyone caught on. But around the time this whole thing started, I changed my profile pic to what you see now. Fitting, isn't it?

In fact, the only person basking in this is the happy mask salesman

@ThanosReXXX How could I forget about Jameson. J. K. Simmons was brilliant!

Jamie Fox was there for you know … the diversity. Just like Edris Elba was Heimdall.

But yeah Jango was a very poor Electro.

Also it is best for Spidey to be poor unlike my other favourite, Batman. I mean you use expensive gadgets and top electronics. Ofc you are the billionaire orphan that want to punish criminals!

That way when Parker is mentioned people would wonder who that is.

ThanosReXXX

@NintendoByNature Yeah, I suppose it is. I did notice you changing it back then, but if you had never told me, then I honestly would have never made that connection.

I'm gonna change mine back again after midnight: I only ever put that "celebrate King Thanos" picture up because of my birthday, but a week is enough, and he looks miserable, so it's back to another more impressive and/or fear-inducing picture again.

@Zuljaras Or... you could just wear glasses and go and work for a newspaper, and apparently, nobody notices either...

Comics stories are weird... but that is also why we love them, because literally ANYTHING is possible, and if for some reason it isn't, because it isn't "canon" or whatever, then we just create a multiverse, or a "what if?" line of comics: problem solved!

@ThanosReXXX yea im considering changing mine too. I'm over the whole thing honestly. Not literally, just mentally. Im still social distancing and all that, I'm just over it taking over our lives. Ya know? Becomes depressing after a while.

NintendoByNature

ThanosReXXX

@NintendoByNature Ah, don't get me started. As I'm sure I've probably already mentioned dozens of times on here, I'm a highly social and empathic person, so social distancing is mentally killing me and COMPLETELY against my nature. I'm a hugger and a combo-chain hand shaker...

There's only so many messages you can get by e-mail or on physical post cards, wishing you well, or in my case congratulating me on my demi-centennial, until it all begins to feel decidedly underwhelming.

I STILL can't get past not having been able to give/have an enormous party in some ways. And celebrating it long after the fact just feels off to me, so this f-ing pandemic has permanently taken that away from me, and that's gonna stay with me for the rest of my life.

@ThanosReXXX yea i feel for you. My daughters bday wish/gift was a concert. Her bday is in January and the concert was in April. So not only did she have to wait, but then it got postponed indefinitely. So I can relate.

I'm social myself, and love to be around my family members, so not bringing the kids by the grandparents has been tough for all of us.

My pizza sense is tingling! Somewhere, pizza is being discussed... but where?!? I’ll get to the bottom of this if it’s the last thing I do, just like I get to the bottom of a Chicago or Detroit style deep dish pizza.

@ThanosReXXX - Now my beer sense is tingling. I’m there. Name the post pandemic spot, and I’ll be there in my hazmat suit ready to mix it up and lightly dap elbows with everyone. Then I’ll inject some uvc light straight into my bloodstream on the way home, and singe the top layer of skin right off with my door mounted virus incineration device.

My wife and I have recently caught up on the new Spider Man movies, and we’ve really enjoyed them. We watched the second installment just last weekend, and I thought Mephisto was incredibly well done. I’m not a huge fan of Jake Gyllenhall, but he was perfect for the part.

@NintendoByNature - Hey dude, hope everyone in the NBN house is good. Sorry to hear about the canceled concert. It’s been months of telling the kiddos that everything has been canceled. It gets old.

Thanks for the W101 offer, but I haven’t been a PC gamer since I was blasting demons and mutant pig cops in my Doom and Duke day’s on the old family PC, chugging along at two in the morning hoping I didn’t get caught by my parents awake and STILL playing games.

limby-bee was a jerk.

@NintendoByNature Yeah, that too. And to think that some grandparents/older people are already of such an age, that they may not ever get to see anyone ever again, before they pass. It just makes me infinitely sad...

I don't have any grandparents myself anymore, but I definitely feel for all the others that I see on TV or in the neighborhood. There's also a home for the elderly, just around the corner from where I live, so I see all of them living alone in their glass box, staring out their windows, longing for some human contact...

@bimmy-lee Well, it'll at least take another several years, so no rush. Between this virus possibly being able to be contained by an antidote/vaccine somewhere around next year, and me having to either start all over again with getting assignments or simply finding a job, I'll need plenty of time to gather the necessary funds. Maybe I'll end up starting a GoFundMe page, although that doesn't really feel like me: I like to pay my own way, because I loathe being dependent on others, especially financially.

Glad you liked the Spidey movies. Have you now seen all of the Marvel movies, or what? Poor @Tyranexx still has several weeks of movie-viewing to do, to come even remotely close to catching up...

@ThanosReXXX yea it's extremely sad for the elderly. Can't visit my grand mother who's 91. And i know it really bothers her. She's tough enough to hang around long enough for this to pass. So I'm sure ill be at her house plenty of times before she passes. We do have a plan to do a drive by hello to her tomorrow for mothers day, which she'll love
