I'm okay with all that, especially as I have limited connection to the Holland supporting cast. The villains all dying doesn't bother me either, especially as most were all dead beforehand anyway. I gather they've been plucked out of their timelines before their final moments. All I ask is that Maguire and Garfield remain untouched.

Same. For me, it's not worth letting the genie out of the bottle if they're only being brought back to get killed off.



Disney MCU humor being cringey as ever.

Doc Ock vs. Tony Stark's Ward appears to be a definite highlight.

Electro looks way better than he did in ASM2.

Kinda surprised we didn't get a bit more of Dafoe's Green Goblin in this trailer. Especially since there's no Tobey or Andrew to speak of once again. Honestly, the trailers seem much more Doc Ock centric as far as the villains go. Kinda has me wondering if Thomas Hayden Church actually participated in this, or is it more of a likeness deal going on with Sandman?

I dig the line that Hollandman (along with Maguire and Garfield) are fighting ghosts because those villains all die fighting Spider-Man. It keeps the continuity of past films intact while also throwing off the shackles. This is a free hit for them all to cut loose one last time before succumb to the inevitable. Apparently Green Goblin (who looks great, and authentically recreated) is a demonic mean mother and manages to inflict serious levels of pain. That's a mouth watering prospect. Goblin was a demonic force of nature in the first movie and knocked the stuffing out of Spider-Man with a thrashing that still hasn't been matched. I absolutely approve of keeping the Maguire and Garfield content hidden - that should be saved for the big screen. And it's only a month away.

Agreed. The villains look great, but some of the dialogue is rather cringeworthy. "Scooby-Doo this crap." Whedon-esque writing like that feels extremely passé in 2021. I know this film centres on a group of teenagers, but is it too much to ask that the adult characters talk like grownups?

I remember the brutality of that beatdown caused some controversy here in the UK, and it was thought to have been a factor in the British Board of Film Classification's decision to create the 12A age certificate. I hope they'll make Goblin even nastier in this new film.

It looks like it'll be fun, but I absolutely hated the "my name is Dr. Octavius" joke, along with the Scooby Doo line.

It just rubbed me the wrong way for some reason.

It's not my preference either. Compare it to a respectful but laugh out loud comment like "guy named Otto Octavius winds up with eight limbs. What are the odds?"

What I like about the Goblin is that he pushes things into pure hate territory. It's the malice of a serial killer who wants to completely destroy your life, with any other desire coming in a distant second place. Doctor Octopus is formidable as the arms make it extremely difficult to lay a punch on his physical body. That's a scary thought, but I think Goblin's view of the world is probably scarier. I really wouldn't want him coming after me.

I was entertained by this clip a lot more than any of these trailers.



Yes, I dislike the MCU's version of Spider-Man that much.

I'm sticking with the Raimi and Webb films instead. My stance towards NWH remains the same.

Christopher Nolan: He breaks it in...

Jonathan Nolan: ...the first two.
