I guess it wasn’t worth creating a whole new model for 5 minutes of screen time.
...Yeah, good point in this instance. But still, he should've looked like that in TASM to begin with. I still emember that leaked teaser from that Comic-Con with the longer snout.

It's been more than a decade since then...
 
Besides Hoody Goblin, we are not getting figures for the rest of them. So much for that Electro tease. :lol

BTW, this movie has leaked online. Some people actually got blurays/4ks on Ebay and are selling them like crazy! Sony moved up the digital copy to the 15th.
 
The blu ray and streaming doesn’t release for another two weeks and already all the extras are on YouTube.

Jeez talk about marketing ..but rightfully justified considering it has become a classic..but still :lol
 
They could do a good job. Just hope we do t get like a rehash of the 2011 figure. I’d be so pissed.
 
So I finally saw the movie.

I think I'm definitely feeling MCU'd out in general and I also just came down from seeing The Batman which is so very different so the two types of entertainment are clashing in my head.

I feel like I just watched a Harry Potter movie. Some heavy stuff happens but the rest is all kinda cute. Maybe too cute. I didn't hate it but I'm feeling @Wor-Gar about it. And remember I'm a long time Spidey fan ... :unsure:

Impressions -- and I don't think anyone uses spoiler tags in here anymore so SUPER SPOILERY:

  • Too much slapstick right away, MCU thinks it’s too cute
  • Happy has always been played for laughs but the character has jumped the shark.
  • MIT plot is one-dimensional, paper-thin.
  • Why have Potts and Stark Industries left Peter on his own? Sure Tony inexplicably left him an army of killer drones and he has access to magic suits, but where is the financial safety net and legal muscle you’d expect? Why is Happy worried about lawyering up when he should have an army of litigation behind him?
  • Matt Murdock was immediately tonally lighter (of course) but great to see him.
  • No weight or physics to the one-armed web-swinging with MJ.
  • Dr. Strange always enjoyable but still too much Marvel Cute Universe.
  • Whole thing feels dumbed down.
  • Rubbery CG waters down the fight sequences.
  • Some of the sets and lighting look a little cheap.
  • Lazy filmmaking — doesn’t even show how he saves family from falling car because it's so mundane at this point.
  • Considering how overpowered MCU Spidey is, he should have knocked out Doc Ock within seconds of closing with him. (I say OP but he's actually hellaciously strong in the comics too).
  • Swinging from high voltage towers? Even if the webbing is non-conductive … no. There's enough juice there to blast you just via proximity. Learned that when I got my aerial lift certification.
  • Doc Strange just leaves Peter and a couple of kids to clean up the mess?
  • Supervillains blowing things up and tossing cars around, where are the other superheroes? And cops and first responders and ... and ...
  • Strange can’t stop Spidey? Please.
  • What's with the disembodied Spidey Sense? So this indicates this is a super-powered physical reflex independent of Peter's will, but it's surprisingly *intelligent* to be playing keep-away with Strange and his spell.
  • The entire conflict between Strange and Spidey is based on the very weak premise that Strange is too arrogant (too stupid) to sit and talk with Peter, and Peter is still this “GEE WHIZ I GOTTA TRY” moron that won’t listen to Strange.
  • May’s ‘death’ strangely lacking weight.
  • Peter’s bulletproof now?
  • Garfield is an amazing (ha ha) Spidey.
  • Why did Tobey-Man and Garfield-Man start webbing each other?
  • The three Spidey’s just hanging out and talking was actually very charming.
  • Dr. Strange isn’t just nerfed power-wise he’s also conveniently incompetent.
  • Happy remembers dating May and Spidey but not her nephew Peter? Weird spell, bro.
  • Surprised they kept her dead.
  • There was some weight to seeing Peter completely on his own, like the original Spidey.
  • Disney’s Lego Star Wars product placement isn’t cute anymore.
  • Wow he’s good at sewing. He’d make a killing doing 1/6th custom clothing. Hear that Parker? You don't have to be poor ...
  • Animated end credits sequence was great.
  • Venom enters the MCU via a bar in Mexico. Guess I’ll allow it.
  • Soooo….did those guys get sent back ‘cured’ and what did that do to their respective timelines?
I dunno. Movie feels manipulative and shallow in spite of some genuinely charming character beats thanks to nostalgia-powered-up actors.
 
So I finally saw the movie.

  • Why did Tobey-Man and Garfield-Man start webbing each other?
Yeah that's never been clear to me. Feels like some prior scene was deleted.

  • Soooo….did those guys get sent back ‘cured’ and what did that do to their respective timelines?
This also made me scratch my head. And no character in the movie even raises the question if memory serves.
