    That was pretty awesome and on point. Any idea what subject they were actually discussing?


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    Its hard to tell but he mentions the chef from his restaurant called him because he needed help with something and then all I hear is laughter, which I might add is quite contagious for some reason lol.

    Some kind of anecdote/joke about his work in the beach. I remember seeing the original video with spanish subtitles by following the recomendations/similar videos youtube gives.

    The Spectacular Spider-Man was awesome too bad it got caught in the rights limbo and got cancelled, but it was a great cartoon.

    Yep, aaaaand we`re back to high school. At least it`s consistent with the comics in how they just refuse to let Peter grow.

    You seem to think Spider-man in an Avengers movie will be focused on PP's teenager problems and high school life, which will hardly be the case. They might give 5 minutes to PP's school setting in the entire movie. I think making him a high schooler will help him fill a more slapstick, comedic side-kick kind of role. His snarky one-liners and immaturity will contrast with the more stoic members like Thor, Captain America, Bruce Banner, etc. He'll be like Jar-Jar or those two ghetto-bots in the 2nd Transformers movie. If they made it Miles Morales and then only gave him a few minutes on his origin story before joining the larger cast in their fight to save the world, people would complain about that.

    A) I did even not mention Miles.

    B) It`s confirmed next movie will be in HS, it won`t be five minutes.

    A) Sure but we all know you were referring to him.

    B) We were talking about the article that discusses Spider-man's inclusion in the Avengers and larger MCU.

    Yes, the reboot in 2017 will have PP in high school. Is your angst that it's PP in high school instead of MM, or is it that the setting is in high school? Would adult Spider-man's alter ego make for a more compelling story? Instead of teenager problems being a superhero, he'd have to worry about paying his mortgage and saving for retirement along with fighting crime and saving the world. Not sure what you think can be explored with an adult Spider-man that is more interesting than a teen-aged one.

    But my post in particular referred SM specifically.

    The setting, not the character, can you stop talking about Miles already?

    Yes, it would.

    Yeah, and instead of that we`ll have him worry about getting home before 10 P.M or else aunt May will notice, doing his chemistry homework on time (he won`t), mowing the flawn, aunt May having to worry about paying HER mortarge and saving for retirement while saving for Peter`s future university. Do go ahead though, and mention three 616 good spider-man story when he was in HS.

    Funny that you`re against an adult PP even though adult Peter (and his financial issues) are basically 98% of the comics, you would think a pretend purist like you would be disgusted with PP in HS... for the third time now, since this is clearly an attempt at attracting the hipster masses you despise so much. He`s called Spider-MAN, not Spider-BOY.

    How about everything, considering all the good stories (The night Gwen Stacy died, Kraven`s last hunt, Sin`s pa... ok maybe not Sin`s past, Spider-man: Blue, The conversation, Marvel Knights, The wedding, Venom, The [Original] Clone saga, Best of enemies, The kid who collects spider-man, etc.) happened when he was in college or afterwards, of course, you wouldn`t know about half of these I presume.

    All of those are specific stories that work in a comic or serial show but not in a 2 hour movie since they'd need a lot of lead-up to establish the story and deliver the emotional payoff. Regardless of what you're looking for, movies based on comics still target a certain demographic and their problems (ie high schoolers with their issues like dating, school, sex, adolescent changes, etc.) Sorry you're no longer in that demo, but maybe you should stop looking at comic book movies to relate to you and instead maybe try some more mature works. I'm not against an adult PP, I just see the sense in a high school setting over a workplace setting.

    All of those stories can be done in movie format, some of those actually appeared in movies (Spider-Man no more, the night Gwen Stacy died). Are the Avengers in high school? Is Daredevil? Is Batman? Superman? Aquaman? Wonder Woman? The X-men? F4? The Flash? Arrow? Anyone? The notion that Spider-Man needs to be in high school to work is ridiculous since he`s hardly been shown in one. Was PP in high school in Spider-Man 2, a.k.a the best one?

    News Flash: People date, go to class, suffer adolescent changes and do in fact have sex in college.

    So you're going to dither between high school and college now? Wasn't he in college for most of the Raimi movies, and in the Amazing movies? And since when is being in college being an adult? It was different for you and me, but most people finish college by 22.

    PP being a younger person is one of the draws of the character. All those others you mentioned are adults but hardly living normal adult lives. Thor, Bruce Wayne, Wolverine, etc don't worry about paying their mortgage or about their futures. Those adolescent worries are essentially the defining characteristics of PP.

    It's a discussion, not an argument. So no.

    I don't see the difference in this case, but whatever.

    Out of curiosity, if this was an argument, would you think you won?
