As a life-long Spider-Man fan, I personally feel he is just about perfect. Maguire and Garfield were both flawed in one way or another, but I love that casting decision.
Really? Cause Holland doesn't act like any other Peter Parker/Spider-Man that I've read/seen throughout my life. I'd say Spidey PS4, Spider-Man 1994 and Spectacular Spider-Man 2008 are all much better representations of the character.
Spectacular Spider-Man was still in High School and nowhere near as much of a dweeb as Holland's Parker. I just don't think he fits the role. They havetheir flaws, but Maguire and Garfield did a much better job imo. I'm just not a fan of Iron Strange Boy Jr.
Do you think it's Holland or the way the character is written that you object to?
Both? He’s a good actor in other things though.
By design Peter Parker/Spiderman must be awkward.
I think this only applies to teenage Peter Parker and as he gets older he gets more confident, but definitely agree this is true for where the Holland Peter Parker is at.
I genuinely hate Holland's Parker. He's neither the Ultimate nor the 616 version. He's just an annoying little *****. I don't much care these days though since I've outgrown the Spider-Brand. I just want my Tobey-Man Era dollies and I'm done.
For my money, it's Kang. I legitimately loathe this casting. I don't know what they were even thinking. I hated it from the moment it was announced, but when they did their version of Immortus in Loki, and did it like that, I lost all faith. How anyone looked at that guy and said "yes, here's our conqueror/wise timekeeper", while seeing the image of Alexander and the Pharaohs in him, is beyond me. I seethe about this almost daily. I was looking forward to a Kang dolly so much, but unless he gets a mask that covers his entire goofy mug and the figure comes with no headsculpt, so that I can pretend it's someone I like under it, I won't be getting it. And I love Kang. But then again we're talking about the studio that utterly wasted Mads Mikkelsen in a throwaway role, not even a cliche cultured bad guy one, so what am I even wondering about?
What a shameful display of whitewashing being played for laughs. SMH. I’m really disappointed in you Clown…Too bad MCU Kang looks like this instead.
I like her in Veronica Mars then she deteriorated both in looks and in acting
Forgot about this guy. While I did not enjoy Loki (but for a few moments) how they presented Kang was the icing on the cake. Although I actually hated Sylvie more. But I do think they wanted a quirky portrayal to differentiate him from later, which I think will be saved for a movie reveal. The next iteration of Kang (via the multiverse) should be closer to this, but the MCU will differentiate the character from Brolin's Thanos, so I'm imagining some kind of quirk.I genuinely hate Holland's Parker.

True, but I don't think adult PP will ever be the main portrayal in the MCU. Adult, confident Parker doesn't (IMO) connect with the audience. What made Spider-Man so popular from the get, as I see it, is that being a superhero sucks and no one really wants to be Spider-Man because of all the extra baggage. That's why Peter B. Parker worked so well, confident in what he could do, but his life is still getting flushed down the toilet. I'd actually love a Peter B. style movie because I found that portrayal so endearing and funny, your mileage may vary.
What they did was worse. See, the guy in Loki was supposed to be Immortus. Immortus in the comics is Kang's final form, the enlightened time-keeper of sorts. The guy Kang hates and tries to not end up as, the same way Nathaniel tries to not end up as Kang. That version of Immortus was travesty. He tried to do "le gne nuts from isolation wacky guy" but he came off like this:
Oh dear, just looked that up. So the superhero property that was being inclusive before inclusivity was cool must in particular be singled out for corrective action.
I completely agree, although Marvel Studios would likely love to milk Spider-Man for another ten years or more if they can which would mean he'd have to be an adult, and based on current trends, he'll either die or pass the mantle on to Miles Morales. Or we could be really surprised and NWH is their way of moving him from the Marvel world to the Sony world due to the licensing battles that come up after every contract runs out.
I didn't hate Sylvie, but they definitely made Loki a passenger in his own show and completely nerfed him (and Bucky in TFATWS) as well.
