#DID I MENTION SPIDERMAN IS MY FAVORITE SUPERHERO AND VENOM IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE VILLAINS/ANTI HEROES

[maythearo]

I'm almost drawing Jamil as Venom (or Poison, with the symbiote being more snake like), but I'm locked up at the thought of him only being anti-hero/villain just because he hates Spiders(onas). He just sees one and he's already destroying the whole building

DOKAAAAAAAAAANNNNN

- The BR Jamil Simp

YOU... YOU ARE A GENIUS.

It's very fitting of him to be Venom/Poison. (If I had a nickel everytime Jamil had a villain arc because of an evil sentient dark liquid taking control and making him destroy everything and everyone around him I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.)

AND WITH THAT SAID I can easily imagine Kalim being spiderman instead, especially considering with his personality and all. Like he is a Pavitr Prabahkar kind of spider-man: "being spider-man is soooooo easy!!!! :D (Super-collider immediately explodes)"

Saying that just so we can imagine an epic archenemy super hero battle

Surprise, Spider! | Tom Holland x Reader

Summary: You surprise Tom at a convention and dress up as Black Cat

Pairing: Tom Holland x Reader

Word count: 1.1k

Note: This is my first time writing for Tom 

** this is the pose mentioned below

-

Tom had gotten on a plane and left for the convention last night. He would only be gone for three days, but after being out of the country for seven months to film a movie, and returning home completely exhausted and jet-lagged, he wanted nothing more than to sleep in his own bed.

Alas, he had obligations he could not back out of.

''I wish you would've come with me to Atlanta,'' Tom said over the phone, laying in his massive hotel bed, running on a few hours of sleep - thanks jet-lag. ''It's so lonely here...''

''Aren't some of the Avengers cast going to be there? I thought you were promoting Endgame.''

You heard shifting as Tom moved in the sheets, followed by a sad sigh. ''Yeah, but it's not the same as having my girlfriend here. Robert and Chris aren't going to take pictures of me when I have fanboy moments or dressing up as DC superheroes and hand out signed Spiderman Funko Pops to fans.''

''Oh my god, I remember that! A lot of people thought we were scammers because of our Batman and Poison Ivy costumes.''

''And your skin was stained green for five days,'' Tom recalled with a laugh. ''I think I still got a picture in my phone.''

You groaned. ''Ugh, don't remind me.''

This anecdote reminded you of how much you loved going to conventions. You loved seeing the younger fans and taking pictures for them with Tom, assisting to panels and meeting your favorite actors. Going undercover was probably your favorite, though. Unless you count that one time you met Johnny Depp. The picture was framed in your apartment.

''I'll make it next time,'' you promised.

You stayed on the phone for a few more minutes, casually talking about everything and nothing, until Tom had to go get ready for the convention.

And so did you.

After you finished your makeup, you unzipped the black protective dust-bag and grinned wickedly, seeing the mix of black fabric and white fur. You had been planning and anticipating this for weeks. The ticket had been expensive and you felt bad for taking a fan’s spot, but Tom’s reaction will be worth it. His heart was going to burst when he'll see you at the photo op.

Nailing down the right pieces for your cosplay had been harder than you thought. Especially the suit. You had gone for a comic accurate suit, just not as low-cut in the cleavage area, not fancying being harassed by men during the whole convention. Your tight suit will already get them drooling, you didn't want to be the main character of some weirdo's next sex dream. Yikes.

You took the suit off of the hanger and slipped into it, cursing the tight fabric as you struggled to pull it on. If you hadn't had it tailored to your body, you would have doubts about it fitting you, but it was just a matter of patience and technique.

Lastly, you put on your boots, wig and mask, and left the hotel.

You had been at the convention for barely half an hour and you had already drawn some attention. How could you not in your skin-tight catsuit with white fur and matching boots?

A lot of people had stopped you and asked to take pictures of and with you, which you had gladly accepted. It was a part of cosplay-ing. It’s like a reward, in a way.

After posing with over fifty Spidermans, being cat-called a hundreds times and being touched inappropriately by a Venom, it was time to go line up for Tom's photo op.

Your boots were killing your feet as you stood in line, almost making you regret wearing them. That’s what you get for thinking about being comic accurate and not practicality. Backing down was tempting, but what’s a couple of blisters when you know you’re gonna make Tom really happy?

Before you, the line was going fast, all fans getting their fifteen seconds with Tom. The group of girls behind you were getting excited, seeing the curtain getting closer, and you began feeling nervous.

Hopefully someone will take a video of his reaction. It would make such good memories to look back on.

A man opened the curtain for you, telling you to go in, and you walked to the other side, holding back your excited grin. It was difficult to keep your straight face and not sell yourself.

''Hello, darling. How are you?'' Tom asked you sweetly, oblivious it was you under the Black Cat costume. ''Nice costume!'' He went for a hug and you bit your cheeks, hugging him back.

You thanked him briefly and avoided eye contact.

''How do you want to pose?''

You did a typical prom pose where Tom was behind you, his arms around your middle as you reached over your shoulder to the back of his head. His face was very close to yours. So close that if you turned your head, you’d be able to kiss him. You were surprised he had agreed to the pose, feeling a bit too intimate for a fan picture.

The countdown for the picture had started and, just before the flash went off, you said: ''You mess with the cat, you get the claws.''

Tom’s face changed as the flash went off and the picture was taken. He knows.

You turned around in his arms, looking up into his eyes, which were staring back at yours. He reached out and took your black mask off, revealing your identity. His jaw went slack, speechless, and you smiled up at him.

''Surprise, Spider,'' you said in a sultry voice.

''What the fu-''

You wound your arms around Tom’s neck and security came over, about to take you away, but Tom snapped out of his shock and was quick to tell him it was alright, that you were his girlfriend and not a fan. 

His arms wrapped around you, holding you tightly, and kissed you swiftly, his smile never leaving his lips. ''This is the best fucking surprise ever. I can't believe you're here.'' He kissed you again, not having enough.

''Eh, sorry to interrupt, Mr. Holland, but there’s a hundred fans still in line,'' one of the convention employees informed, clearing their throat.

Tom turned to them and nodded, releasing you. ''I gotta keep moving, darling,'' he said, disappointment lacing his voice. ''But, I’ll see you later. Maybe we could take pictures with my suit on later? I’m sure there’s a photograph somewhere that’ll do that for us.''

Your eyes brightened up at the idea. ''Yeah, that would be really cool. Except…you don't have your suit.''

Tom scoffed, looking smug. ''I do. Who do you think I am?''

You chuckled. Tom never missed an occasion to wear his Spiderman suit.

''We should do the spider-kiss pose,'' he suggested, getting really excited by the idea. ''I’ve been dying to do this scene in the movies, but they aren’t putting it in.''

''Whatever you want.''

His grin broadened, looking forward to that moment.

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

What do you think they could have done better or differently with mcu spiderman?

- not ripped off Miles Morales for ideas

- made May??? Not a terrible parent??? I love Marissa Tomei but I genuinely cannot stand how they write her it literally pisses me off 

- highlighted Peter’s poverty more- they CUT scenes that highlight it?? And they just want you to infer he’s at Midtown on a scholarship?? It literally wouldn’t have been hard to just...build a smaller apartment set? Maybe they could’ve had a plot point in homecoming that he couldn’t afford to go on the D.C. trip (still keeping the he Needed to go on to find the bad guys plotline) and worked from there? I get not trying to hammer the idea into the audience’s head and letting them make assumptions but the way they handle the whole thing is just *too* subtle, like they just don’t wanna say the words He’s Poor out loud. it’s weird

- I personally loved the whole father/son relationship he had going with Tony, but it was too rushed. I would’ve had more of it in Homecoming or at the very least...referenced it before Infinity War idk. There’s a two year gap between Homecoming and Infinity War and the movie moves way to fast to let you play catch up with how their relationship developed. At the very least before the invasion starts in that movie you could’ve had one of them quip something about seeing the other later or something. idk if I’m making sense on this one lol

- Just Say The Name Ben Parker Out Loud Oh My God. We don’t need Peter vaguely mentioning having a bad year and we don’t need initials on luggage just Say The Man’s Name He’s Died So Many Times He Deserves More Respect Than This

- better fight scenes!! Far From Home delivered but Homecoming...I GET they were doing it because he was New At The Superhero Stuff but....’new’ meant he’d been at it for eight months already. Every other superhero gets to be badass in their origin story solo films and Spidey literally just got his ass kicked in every single scene. Realistically he should’ve held his ground in a fight better. He didn’t even win the final fight with Vulture!! He just ‘’’won’’’ by being a better person and like I Get That but also....don’t do him like this lmao 

- show some more of his brains- I loved how they used his webs to make the suit in FFH but that’s one thing and it wasn’t obvious enough to a lot of viewers. They needed to do more like...the tracker he used in homecoming. They could’ve put a scene in earlier in the film of him making them so you don’t assume they’re from Tony, or you could’ve seen them half built on his desk in civil war or something. Or like, in the Avenger’s films we’re used to him coming up with ingenious plans and crediting movies...but that never happens in his two solo films. Let us see him pull off some BATSHIT plans that shouldn’t work but he makes work because he thinks fast on his feet and is a capable hero please

- he needs...more personality lmao I’m sorry I love Tom Holland’s Peter to the ends of the earth but we see him 1) Stuttering and Panicking and 2) Crying and like lowkey nothing else??? We need some snark! We need some street smarts! I get that Peter is supposed to be shy but like...the way he talks to Ned and May, people he should not be shy around, is the same way he talks to like Flash and Fury and all of his other classmates, which means you don’t really get to see a different side to him when he’s comfortable? Like we don’t have a Who Peter Really Is/How Peter Acts Around Other People/How Peter Acts As Spider-Man situation going on, it’s just...all the same no matter the situation he’s in. Like...when Garfield was in the role, his Peter could barely make eye contact with anyone, and he’d stumble around sentences and barely get anything out, but then as Spider-Man he was confident and snarky, because it was an outlet for him. Tobey’s Peter was quiet and mumbled a lot and was overlooked as a civilian, but his voice was commanding as Spidey and even if the city was against him, everyone always knew he was in charge of the situation whenever he popped up. MCU Peter....it’s genuinely a mystery that no one in his life figured it out themselves. He literally acts exactly the same in and out of the suit. It’s just....less satisfying, I guess?

- why did I have to wait 3 years to see the spidey sense only referenced and wait a year and half after that to hear it talked about out loud. just wondering 

- I feel like J Jonah Jameson leaking Peter’s identity in FFH would’ve been more dramatic if we had actually gotten Peter working for him prior to that. We could’ve had like JJJ being torn whether to leak it or not and then another worker at the office doing it behind his back, or JJJ leaks it with no hesitance and Peter’s like ‘oh yay yet another betrayal in my life’ idk either could have been pretty compelling. 

- something they need to do different in the future: the venom movie NEEDS to be a buddy team up, I’m standing by that, sony and marvel CALL ME 

- this doesn’t actually effect the quality of the movies but the timeline they gave us for his age literally doesn’t add up and it drives me insane every single day. Homecoming and Infinity War are supposed to have a two year gap, but in one they establish he’s a 15 year old sophomore and in the next they’re saying he’s a 16 year old junior. Please for the love of God I need someone at Marvel to learn how to count PLEASE.

- this is all I have off the top of my head...I feel like I have to restate that I love Tom Holland’s Spider-Man to death, he’s literally my favorite character in the mcu, just...nothing is without complaints! And now that it looks like we get to keep him longer I hope they work on a few of these

Spiderman: Homecoming: A Review With Spoilers

Saw this movie yesterday and though it did not live up to the hype of my best friend (who admittedly hates most Marvel movies and sent me 6 fire emoji’s to describe it) I still thoroughly enjoyed it. I was surprised by a question that this movie made me ask...what makes a villain great? Is it absolute power? Ruthlessness? Supernatural abilities? Ability to instill horror? No, these attributes make good villains, but greatness takes more than one, or many, of these mentioned requirements. True greatness from a villain requires just one thing, (and I’m ignoring the obvious great actor) relatability. It is this reason alone that leads to great villains towering over the good villains. If you don’t believe me look at one of the most perfect superhero franchises The X-Men. Think of the multitudes of villains in these movies, cartoons, and comics. I’d venture to say that 90 of 100 people would agree that Magneto is by far the best villain. Strongest? No that’d have to be Apocalypse. Horrifyingly devious? Probably Mr. Sinister. Most relentless? That’s the Juggernaut bitch. But it is relatability that leads the majority of people to choose Magneto as the best of the bad. Magneto, after surviving the Holocaust is now in a world where his people (mutants) are being singled out, discriminated, and targeted for violence/jail/etc, and Magneto is pushed to a point where he wants to fight back for the survival of his people, by any means necessary! Though not to this extreme, most of us can relate to some level of this feeling. I say all this because Spiderman: Homecoming surprised the hell out of me by making me feel this way about Michael Keaton’s Vulture. He is easily (and some may argue there’s not much competition) the best villain to be in any Spiderman movie. A regular Joe, pushed around by the government, screwed over by the rich, takes matters into his own hands to provide for his family, and to secure that piece of the pie that is the American Dream for himself, by any means necessary! Another feeling that most of us have felt, or are currently feeling today. Now let’s get to the rest of the movie...

POSITIVES: 

One of my favorite students of all time told me that “remakes are always better” and though that’s not always the case, Poseidon (2006) vs. The Poseidon Adventure (1972), it is definitely true in this case. FINALLY, Spiderman is the sarcastic, quick-witted, teenage genius that I grew up on. As a kid I remember watching the Spiderman cartoon and loving it. Spiderman, Ironman, and the X-Men all in the Fox Box...

and to me this movie was the best representation of this character. One huge positive for this movie was that they didn’t bother with the Spiderman origin story. We all know it, we’ve all seen it in various forms of media, and we don’t need a third reboot to talk about it. Instead the story of how he got his powers was a throw away line. Thank you. As always anytime there’s a heavy dose of Tony Stark/Ironman (portrayed by the great Robert Downey JR.) it’s gonna be awesome. Seeing Tony as the father figure he felt he never truly had was a unique and untapped story-line. Because of all of this, Spiderman: Homecoming would be a solid movie...and then there’s Vulture. I soliloquized earlier about how great of a villain he was, but there was a particular scene that I can’t stop thinking about. While trying to step back and not be a prisoner of the moment, I still came to the realization that this movie offered what may be one of my top 3 favorite movie moments of all time. There was a scene, and if you missed the fact that I have spoilers in the title please stop reading dude, where Peter is riding in a car with his date to homecoming, and being driven by her father. Her father of course is the everyman villain played by Michael Keaton. This scene made my jaw drop to the floor because of the way it combined that awkward feeling almost every guy gets when meeting his date’s father (what’d I say about relatability) with the knowledge that this father, is also the homicidal arms dealer and thief you’ve been trying to thwart throughout the movie. Combine that with the way that Adrian Toomes (Keaton) slowly pieced it together that Peter was his nemesis, the rising tension during the ride to school, and the climax of the father cliched “man to man” talk with his girlfriend’s date was cinematic gold. “Know that you’re only alive because I’m letting you live. Now show my daughter a good time...but not too good” all while brandishing a gun in front of both Peter our 15 year old hero and a school.

Negatives:The biggest negative to me was the major climactic fight scene at the end. It was simply too dark. It was difficult to see the action, and despite the fact that it was taking place in the sky hanging from a Stark Jet, it seemed too small. I may be nit-picking here but there were few negatives to find in this movie. At the beginning of the movie I thought that Tom Hardy (who will be playing Venom) was making the ultimate cameo as one of Toomes’ scavengers, but as the movie developed I recognized Logan Marshall Green and was pissed the fuck off. Not because it wasn’t future Venom Tom Hardy, but because LMG played Ryan’s older brother Trey. The older brother who was supposed to watch out for Ryan and be a role model, who turned into a petty criminal and inevitably got Ryan into trouble, then tried to take advantage of Ryan’s new opportunity and almost ruin everything the Cohen’s did for Ryan. Fuck you Trey Atwood.

(you will always be my spirit animal Seth Cohen)

Overall:I think this movie is a very solid 8.5. When looking at Marvel movies I compare everything to how I felt after seeing Ironman for the first time (which I saw in theaters 4 times during my senior year in high school) and this was no Ironman. I’d definitely see it again, and look forward to the next installment. After the last few Marvel Movies, I now can’t wait for the Infinity Wars. Seriously though, I dare you to tell me that there’s a better Marvel villain than Keaton as Vulture. Off to DC tomorrow so it may be more than a week for my next review. Sorry to all of my half dozen followers.
