Also interesting aspect of the reveal is that Keaton is not some blue collar worker struggling to feed his family, as he keeps implying, but a really well-off dude dead set on maintaining his fancy house/car lifestyle.
I took it that at the beginning, in his discussion with Damage Control, it was true that he was a blue collar guy (see comparisons with Archie's dad in the recent Riverdale series struggling to hold a construction crew together for a big job because he can't just bankroll them) and he mentions more than once how he's "over-extended" to fund the job - I guess that means he's a homeowner and has remortgaged to fund it? But since becoming a criminal he's gone for the big house etc and has stayed in crime because he likes the wealth.

speaking of ageing, i appreciated that they didn't cast marisa tomei as aunt may and then try to play down the fact that marisa tomei has apparently not aged a day in twenty years or more

She wore old lady glasses at one stage
I mean she looked like Marisa tomei in old lady glasses but I appreciated the effort

The whole "everyone loves Aunt May" subplot was also great.

Way late to the party. This was a delight from beginning to end. Confidentially, Peter Parker Spider-Man is not among my favorite major Marvel characters, but this managed to distill pretty much everything great about the character. Y'all have said it all already, but Keaton was fantastic in this and that car scene is one of the best the MCU has produced. The kids were the best. I wish I'd gone to that school.

Also, how is it that 'Penis Parker' has never happened in the comics (or that I somehow missed it if it did)?
― I'm Calling My Loyer! (Old Lunch), Friday, 4 August 2017 17:07 (six years ago) link
It was originally "Puny Parker" in the '60s, and it was updated for the film

this was a blast. Especially the cap post-credits scene.

that was to say, the whole family life reveal. it was more at the 2/3rds point and Keaton's facial expressions were killing me

Sounds like Gyllenhaal is right on the cusp of being cast as Mysterio.

don't know if the standalone Spider-Man movies are going to that entangled in the overall Marvel universe. It's still basically a Fox property
― Number None, Monday, 25 June 2018 20:53 (five years ago) link
or Sony even
well, the animated miles morales movie is called into the spider-verse and features both peter parker and spider-gwen from alternate universes alongside miles, so...

Jared Leto and director Daniel Espinosa are being set by Sony for Morbius, a Spider-Man Universe spinoff based on the Marvel Comics antihero Morbius the Living Vampire. Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama, creators of Netflix’s Lost in Space, wrote the script.

Please stop, Sony. Please? No one is asking for these things. You can just send me envelopes full of cash and get basically the same net return as you will from investing in worthless IP (nb: I will not be returning your cash). Nobody who knows or cares who Morbius is will want to see Jared Leto as Morbius. Fourteen movies about tertiary Spider-Man characters will not make up for you totally fumbling the opportunity to make an easy buck on the imminently-bankable starring character without another studio coming in to hold your hand. Go build yourself a Walkman, ya bums.

also venom has an established fanbase (mystifyingly enough) but the potential audience for a movie about spider-man’s science-vampire frenemy seems... limited
