A film that integrates "The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man" is one worth seeing

I have nothing against fan films in general, but I couldn't even make it through the trailer because it was so boring.
Spider-Man sitting around brooding. Is this the Snyder version?

They're all quite young filmmakers as well as fans of the early comics, where Peter did brood an awful lot in between his social life and fights. There was also a lot of self-reflection and brooding in the Raimi movies too, and they'll have all grown up on that too. They've been hyping this considerably on social media and there's a lot of positive buzz about it, so if you've got nothing nice to say, you know the drill

So if you've got nothing nice to say, you know the drill Which is ironic considering how often you negatively post about things.

I neither post anything too negative or too positive. And even if you consider me a negative person (I know I'm not), there's really no excuse to call a fan's efforts to produce something entertaining for Spider-Man fans 'boring', just imagine if I or another person posting this could have been involved in the production and wanted to promote it to gauge interest.

That's more a "them" problem than mine Yeah, I'm probably being a bit too cagey, it's just I thought it'd be nice to share it as it got me hyped for what they can do, and the first thing I get is a thoroughly unpleasant response. It can put someone in a real mood depending on what kind of day they've had. All I get for my troubles are yawns and labelled a naysayer when I react badly to it. Thanks. Does wonders for my mental health that.

Does wonders for my mental health that. Well, one, it's on you for reacting badly. And, dude, look at your posts: you heavily criticize things all the time. Dude said it was boring? Ok, well, good for him. Why should that bother you? Does it take away from your OP? No, it doesn't. But, when you tell people basically that they can only post what to want to hear, answer me this: on a discussion forum, why shouldn't I just lock the thread because you will only allow certain discussion?

Not all the time, you're looking into what you want to read...and even if I'm critical, what the heck is wrong with that? You guys crap on WWE, AEW, Zack Snyder etc, all the time, but I know that doesn't represent every post you guys make, you're fun people to be around. I've already explained why it bothered me

Eh, enjoy the thread then. Take care. If you can't see it, then it's not worth my time. Not my problem.

They're all quite young filmmakers as well as fans of the early comics, where Peter did brood an awful lot in between his social life and fights. There was also a lot of self-reflection and brooding in the Raimi movies too, and they'll have all grown up on that too. They've been hyping this considerably on social media and there's a lot of positive buzz about it, so if you've got nothing nice to say, you know the drill I've been reading comic books for 35 years, so yes, I am very familiar with the original comics and the character of Peter Parker. He's actually my favorite Marvel character so I'm quite knowledgeable about him. Spider-Man brooding a little between fighting bad guys, trying to make money, and have a social life is absolutely in character. However, an entire movie of depressed Spider-Man hardly seems like a film people would want to see. If anything, people seem to enjoy Spider-Man films the more fun they are. As far as them being young, that's not a pass on quality. If you aren't a good filmmaker yet, maybe you shouldn't try something this ambitious. In fact, I'm actually disappointed that a young filmmaker wanted to make a Spider-Man movie that they'll never see a dime from instead of a youthful, original idea. As for not saying anything if I don't have anything nice to say? Well, let's just say I don't have much to say about you personally right now. Edit: Aaand I just read the apology. Its cool, but if you don't want someone to have a different opinion than you about something, then message boards aren't for you.

Edit: Aaand I just read the apology. Its cool, but if you don't want someone to have a different opinion than you about something, then message boards aren't for you. I was having an 'off' day, I'd go into it, but I don't think anyone would really care, as that doesn't really excuse asshat behaviour on my part. Onto the topic, I can understand wanting a guy with some creative ideas strive to do something original, but that requires security and confidence, and it's probably better to grind your teeth on something established than start out with a personal project that you could struggle with or stumble making. This sort of things gives you experience and it allows you to work with a sturdy foundation. I've worked on adaptations before and it very much helps you improve and instils that afore-mentioned confidence to try something entirely different and new. It also allows you to grow interest from an already expansive and ever growing audience. We don't really know if this film won't have 'fun' moments, they're just focusing on some of the angst the comics are known for to sell the emotional core of the story. I'm sure the finished version won't be too melancholy.

Crap has been hitting the fan for this film on social media today as the actor who plays Peter/Spider-Man and the writer/director have had some old tweets/messages resurface that show them using some not so kind racial slurs and insults.

Just read the official statement from staff about it. If they had any sense, they'd pull the film outright and refund everybody. Feel like a cur now for promoting this.

It happens to us all at times, you can't be expected to personally vet every person involved in every fan project that comes up. It seemed neat, not anyone's fault that poop hit the fan afterward except for the people involved who caused it.

I think if someone legitimately posts an apology like that, where they explain and be quite open and honest about it, it's worth giving them a second chance. Edge lord youth shit shouldnt ruin your life forever if you genuinely mean your adult apology.
I know many wont accept that anyway. But if we fall in to the habit of retaining rage and online indignance over accepting any apology, then why will anyone bother to apologise going forward?
I'm less inclined to support the director, who has tried to throw the actor under the bus while ignoring his own past.
On saying that, I have no real interest in this. We have a great Spider-Man at the moment, both in movie and animated form. I'm not looking for a fan film of something being done so well officially.

Messages from the women who play Gwen and Mary Jane. It’s been extra hard for the actress who plays Gwen as she’s half Asian and has experienced racism through some of her siblings who are less caucasian passing as she is and her Asian mother.
