Spider-Man was pretty goofy and experimental. Cheesy CGI, too. Not the greatest, but not the worst. J. Jonah best character.

Spider-Man 2 is good but unless you're Doc Oc or Peter you're probably a **** and terribly written character. Seriously, why was everyone such a prude to him? Poor guy. J. Jonah best character again.

I want to be in a timeline where Venom wasn't in Spider-Man 3 and it was actually what it was supposed to be. J. Jonah best- actually no it's Sandman who's best, pretty well written character I think for how much a terrible set of events that was.

To be fair for Batman, I saw a late showing when I like 8 or so, and that movie was dark, by that I mean visually hard to see. So I understand why younger me fell asleep.
Yeah it's easy for that to happen to us when we're younger. Low attention spans and all.
But I was here for a solid year before then, what does that make me?
Also makes me feel old lol. Hard to believe there's so many people here that are younger than me.

Homecoming was definitely more child oriented than the other Spiderman trilogies, but they made Spiderman very likable and super powerful.

Like, Spiderman can somehow pull a boat in two pieces from falling, climb on a speeding plane and fight Thanos. Thanos had three infinity stones at that time, most notably the power stone.

Also, I like how he is an innocent yet smart kid.

The Spiderman in the 2001 movie seemed to understand the block more and seemed to have a lot more story to him.

I do not know which one I prefer. Only time can tell.

One off-topic thng to note is that Venom looks a lot better in the new Venom movie than in Spiderman 3. I like Venom getting his own movie instead of being forced in Spiderman 3.

But Homecoming and Venom aren't really related.

I agree Venom looks a lot better though.

Look at this dude, no muscle on it.

I actually liked Spiderman 3 back in the day. Granted I didn't read the comics and only watched the films. Maybe if I re-watched the film my perspective would change.

I do not hate Star Wars, but man Marvel is heavily shadowing Star Wars in my interests right now.

The Last Jedi was not good to be honest, it did some things that drifted a lot of the fans away. The Han Solo spinoff was not really enough to get my interest either.

Meanwhile Marvel has made very good movies lately. I enjoyed Homecoming, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Infinity War and Ant Man and the Wasp.

Roughly five minutes of it will detail the Choose Your Legends units. One minute for each of the four, and a minute for the intro and outro.

Then it'll end with a three minute reveal trailer for Celica for Ultimate.

Meanwhile I have 66 orbs. I want to use them on a really good unit, like LA Hector, Legendary Hector or Zeligus.

I'll put my final prediction for CYL Celica.

Rigain Overclass design. Infantry Blue Tome. Seraphim as a legendary tome. Unique B Skill referencing her devotion to Mila.

Obviously we will get a black knight trailer and not celica. Come on opossum, everyone knows that!
But I guess people were right on cyl2. I have a few orbs left atm so I’ll save what we will be given today and tomorrow.

While that is true, Infinity War was an exception.
Infinity War did not just focus on what Disney's Marvel focuses on ( comedy and action ), it also had a lot of characters growing together.
Infinity War is underappreciated in my opinion, that movie was a masterpiece.

Also I never saw Spiderman 2 or 3 in the Sam Raimi trilogy, but I seen the first one recently. The Green Goblin was pretty interesting but he did not really build me up enough.
I haven't seen Infinity War but the reason I haven't seen it is also probably the movie's biggest problem - it relies on me watching the majority of the MCU movies to really feel an impact.

I usually don't mind this. Things like Harry Potter and Kingdom Hearts are the same way. But the difference there is that they use a more limited set of characters who are built up over the course of the series. Harry Potter is the main character of all the Harry Potter movies for example, so him and his circle of friends see a constant and consistent rate of development and growth throughout the series. That makes it much easier to get attached to the characters in that case. There's also less movies to watch or books to read.

But with MCU, I have to watch like, 20 films, starring different characters who get varying amounts of screentime and development across this gigantic spread of films. And if I get attached to a character with a relatively small amount of screentime, and don't care much about the rest, then Infinity War isn't gonna have much of an impact on me.

My favourite Marvel super hero is Spider-Man and I already know he has an appearance in Civil War, his own Homecoming movie (where the character was fun but not exactly compelling), and then the big finale in Infinity War. Compare to a character like Captain America who has three movies with his name in the title and a starring role in the Avengers movies and cameos in other movies (like Homecoming) and already there is this huge disparity in how relevant certain characters are (and while I have seen some of the films starring Captain America, they haven't made me fall in love with the character).

And since the MCU films are made for people with an established interest in Marvel properties, I essentially have to be a Marvel super fan to truly get an emotional attachment to many of these characters. And Infinity War, from what I have heard, completely relies on that, and is a mediocre and confusing film at best without the pre-existing franchise love and knowledge.

Also straight up, Infinity War is far from underappreciated. It's one of the most successful films of all time, objectively.

So what are y'alls thought on this?


Tl:dw: Some guy on Twitter (and Discord) has been throwing around predictions for Ultimate for months now, the thing is, they've been really accurate so far (almost scarily even). Not just about characters but mechanics too.

The predictions they makes for the future are the following:

As far as characters go, they think 5-6 characters are left. with 2 of these being almost certain:
  • Incineroar
  • Geno
  • Banjo and Kazooie
While these are some they sees potential in:
  • Isaac
  • Rhythm Heaven rep
  • Flynn (Shin Megami Tensei IV protag)
  • Bandana Dee
  • Heihachi
  • Skull Kid
  • Porky
On the echo spectrum of things they see these happening:
  • Shadow
  • Louie
  • Mallow
  • Dixie
  • Isabelle
  • Ken
  • Black Shadow
The other big thing they predict is Assist Trophies... Being equippable to be used as actual assists similar to ones you'd see in games like Marvel and Dragon Ball FighterZ. With it being a way to please fans who didn't get their wanted characters in the game.

They try reinforce it by saying the feature could even be seen in Roy's character trailer, with Lyn popping out of nowhere in front of him.

Anyways just thought this was interesting, since the guy is getting pretty much everything right, the speculation is running amok on them being a possible hidden leaker.

Or maybe they really are that good at predicting. It's interesting either way.

Mm hmm. It is so close to crossing Force Awakens and it has not even been six months.

Said it before, but Assist Trophies getting a more involved role is something that needs to happen.

While I don't get super salty about AT confirmations for characters I wanted playable, the people saying we should be super happy to even see characters as ATs also bother me.

As someone who doesn't play with items often, ATs being limited to a randomised item really cheapens them. Final Smashes were the same way.

But if they add a mode or mechanic that gives ATs a more involved role that lets me see/use my favourites more consistently, then I'll actually legitimately be happy to see ATs be confirmed, even for characters I want playable.

Like, I 100% want Nia over Rex, but if we got Rex playable with a Nia AT, and ATs are equippable, I'd still be super happy. I'd just play as Rosalina or Sonic or whoever as usual and take the likes of Nia, Shovel Knight, Knuckles, and Zero as my AT picks.

How can they get any more involved though?
I am curious. I doubt they are going to change ATs though. I do not mind them changing ATs or not.

Have a mode or setting that allows you to select a KO-able AT before starting the match. Then either have them follow you around and help you out the whole match, or have a button and meter for summoning them.

They could also be made into boss fights I'd say. The way they described Alucard in particular made him sound like a boss fight.

Richter Joestar and his Stand 「A L U C A R D」could be a reality.

My favorite thing about ''Vs" movies in the horror/science fiction genre is that they never ever have a clear cut winner. So not to piss off fans of the other.

I finally watched Sadako vs Kayako today and that one? That one might be my favorite ''We must make both audiences happy with this ending." cope out.

Freddy vs Jason literally ends with the hint that neither Jason nor Freddy has won. Jason thinks he's killed Freddy, but it's apparently the dream realm and Freddy is alive, but literally just a head.

Godzilla vs King Kong is a good point and that even ends with a ''Godzilla isn't really dead or defeated", but like nothing can beat

''We must stop these two curses by stuffing them in a well." turning into ''Oh **** they have merged into one super ghoul of a curse and we can't handle it. We have ****ed it up majorly."

All you ****ers are getting into Castlevania and nobody told me? YOU MISERABLE LITTLE PILES OF SECRETS!
I only watched the first season so far, which I think I mentioned once or twice. I wonder if they'll get into games past CV3. If so, I hope Simon gets a sick design.

I prefer the original Sam Raimi trilogy.

Homecoming is fun enough but it definitely feels more kid oriented (or for those who want a generally fun movie with Spider-Man and not much else).

However, I feel the Sam Raimi films have only become more enjoyable to me as I grow older and just have more nuance to them and more to actually talk about and dissect, especially Spider-Man 2.

Homecoming was enjoyable but it kinda bleeds together with the other modern Marvel movies that kinda focus squarely on action and comedy with ultimately simplistic narratives and character motivations that don't do a lot for me other than serve as a decent excuse to munch on popcorn.

We'll probably never get a scene like this from a Spider-Man or any superhero film again.

Raimi's first two films are still some of the best superhero movies of them all I think. Tom Holland has potential though. Give an actor the right team, and he'll shine as an even better Peter Parker than he already is.

I think all 3 actors do a good job at being either Spider-Man or Peter Parker. But none of them were perfect at both. Josh Keaton and Chris Barnes are the best performances as Spider-Man, if we're including animation as well though.

If you want to make real stand jokes, then Soma has Cagnazzo.
The only real purpose of it seems to just be a JoJo reference.
