#anti mcu Spidey

[introspectivememories]

actually the worst thing the mcu has done is that it gave us the absolute nothing burger that is mcu spiderman. like you watch the movies and like who is that???? who is that boy pretending to be peter parker? literally nothing about mcu spidey is recognizable as spiderman. everything about mcu spidey is watered down or otherwise taken away for some wack ass mentoer/mentee relationship with tony stark of all people. and the worst part about this is that it has proliferated into the public so thoroughly that you cannot read a single fanfic about peter parker without half a billion mentions of "irondad" and "spiderson". who is this man that you have all collectively hallucinated to be spiderman???

[irondad-defensesquad]

honestly though, no one i know irl agrees that tony deserved to die. most ppl i talk to about endgame don't understand why he got that ending. and none of my friends rlly care about the mcu anymore.

[thetimelordbatgirl]

It's now being alleged Spider Man/Peter Parker will have a huger role in Avengers Doomsday then his role in the other Avengers films and I swear to god if its to focus more on him then Reed Richards when it comes to the Doctor Doom plot... Like, a Fantastic Four villain...whose literal character is that he hates one member of Fantastic Four in particular, aka Reed Richards...turned into just a Irondad angst plot...just...fuck off, holy shit.

[sharkneto]

I just browsed through your anti-mcu tag and now am filled with fury (at disney ofc, not you)👍🏼

god it's so disappointing. i genuinely loved the mcu movies and all of that back in their heyday - captain america until... hmmm, antman? maybe? i was a big fan. yeah there were some clunkers in there, but overall they felt fun and i liked the characters.

and then they just ran it into the fucking ground. i feel like them introducing spiderman was the real turning point for me (tom holland is a great peter parker, i just don't like how they've written him/what they've done with the character and that's not his fault. why is he a tiny tony stark why did they do that put him back in his natural habitat of broke normal teen). i'm all for different interpretations of characters, but it felt like that was the point where i realized "oh, they don't care, do they". and then it was a long slide from there, with the final straw being goddamn Endgame (fuck that movie, it's so bad, i'm still angry about it).

the most frustrating thing is how avoidable the slide was. they got too greedy, reached to fast, were more worried about setting up their next movie than making the movie you're currently watching good. on top of that, their insane rate of release and how unplanned all their shit is exasperates how shit they treat their animators, plus their ridiculous fear of spoilers so they treat their actors like shit. if your movie is going to fall apart because of One Single Spoiler, maybe write a better movie???? just a suggestion

it's absolutely insane. marvel really should have been the cashcow that kept on giving forever, but they milked it too hard and still haven't stopped and we're all begging them to either give the cow a break or shoot the damn cow and put it out of its misery, but here we are getting a new marvel movie every month and people are still going to them and making them shitloads of money. it's exhausting

i'm willing to watch bad movies, i don't mind bad movies (Venom, my fucking beloved), but i'm not going to enjoy bad movies that don't have any passion to them and actively make people's lives worse. if you're exploiting people to this degree and you're still turning out shit, what's the fucking point

[kirbydots]

There comes a point with the MCU of just… why doesn’t it fully commit to doing its own thing? It clearly has no interest in faithfully adapting any of the characters, and has barely tried with most of its recent releases. Half of its characters are practically entirely new characters committing identity theft, and the brand is big enough by now that they don’t need to rely on the recognizability of comic characters to get an audience.

[valkyrieandstrangeridingaragorn]

Something here is a lie. 😂🤨

Okay, starting with the last one. Both Waldron and Raimi admitted they never watched WandaVision and they were both very clear they didn't know what had happened in the series except for the post-credit scene. It's likely one or both of them might have backtracked from that though, like Waldron did after he let it slip he hadn't watched Thor or The Avengers prior to writing the Loki series.

And I find it hard to believe he didn't know about NWH because Defender Strange says word for word the exact same line Stephen says to Peter in the movie (albeit in that movie it's clear he's referencing his time on Titan but in MoM that line lacks any depth since it's Defender the one saying it).

The scene of Wanda with Black Bolt is the perfect example of something that sounds cool and looks cool but 1) it's not explained, 2) it's a god-level power that Wanda shows once but never again in the movie, 3) Wanda goes from that to having a kid hit her and she stumbles and falls. Is that scene where she says "what mouth?" a great one? Holy shit, it's awesome. So badass. But it's there for shock value, nothing more.

So the original pitch was to literally show Wanda's corruption on-screen as part of the story, but Raimi chose to "bring that good stuff forward" where her corruption happens off-screen? How is that a good idea? If we had seen her going darker and darker during the movie it would have been a fantastic story, especially heartbreaking post-WandaVision, and it would have given time to Stephen to get to know her and befriend her so that their final fight would mean something.

Also, going back to the first point... why the "scripts" for WandaVision? All the episodes were available at the time Waldron was writing MoM, they delayed the movie 3 times. He didn't need the scripts, he could have watched the episodes. The longest ep is 46 minutes long.

[falllpoutboy]

my blog 3-4 years ago used to be a warzone every fucking day bc what even spawned this?? 😭😭😭

[erinwantstowrite]

is Deadpool gonna be in Lof?

(me and my brother are probably going as Deadpool and red hood for Halloween (anti-hero’s) and I got reminded, haven’t seen anyone ask)

and if he is in Lof is he Peter’s age or like 30 something? (Id honestly find it really funny if he was either a) mentored by red hood or b) they two of them just pissed each other of)

I reaaaaaaally want to include him at some point, even if he's just briefly talked about. Since Peter is mostly based on Andrew Garfield's spidey (though a lot mistake LoF as being MCU compliant, when really it's just inspired by some aspects), I think I want Deadpool to be Peter's age or slightly older? They'd meet as adults, in any case.

Right now the dynamic that alighterwood and I joke about has been Deadpool NOT getting along with the Bats. Mostly because he will grab Peter for help with something and they'll disappear for days and Deadpool will send selfies of them randomly to Peter's family of Peter either mid battle with some crazy ass villain while Deadpool as a bunny filter on him or them eating at a restaurant fully suited up looking like they just got done fighting a forest fire they're that covered in ash and burns and cuts and their waitress looks alarmed and confused. Dick hates it. Ned has some of the photos framed and has invited Wade to dinner at their house multiple times

[evilwickedme]

This wasn't asked for because nobody in their right mind would ask for this but this is a fic rec list of fics I cannot stop rereading

Just started yet another reread of Inimitable Verse by deniigiq and I fully plan on rereading their into the multiverse series which occasionally crosses over also - this is a Spider-Man/team red focused series, think comics canon infused early mcu-spidey since only homecoming had come out for a non substantial amount of time they were working on the series and the daredevil stuff is explicitly tv show AND comics. Also the multiverse series is how I got into Murderdock and therefore how I got into Spider Gwen

Unpretty's Sorrowful And Immaculate Hearts series which is just a loosely interconnected series of DC fics. My personal favorites are Empty Graves, in which Martha Kent keeps killing time travelers trying to kill baby! Clark; any of their clois fics but especially Third Wheel; and Anti-Social, which is a social media fic mostly about Tim and Bruce that made me cry laughing. Catch Bruce trying to get Walmart's employees to unionize. Also shout out to unpretty's only fic with Jason in it, it looks awesome but is tragically incomplete

This particular Reverse Robin AU which put in the work to reverse every single younger generation and is chef's kiss I LOVE this version of Tim he's wild

Both of Shoalsea's fics are in constant rotation for me I talk about Into The Brighter Night all the time in the tags of reblogs and stuff it truly lives in my head rent free. Anyway Tim gets kidnapped by aliens and the batfam have to watch as yj98 saves him and it's angsty and funny and such a good take on what could have been if the new 52 hadn't happened. And Compassion Builds No House is about Tim and Pru from Red Robin. Ugh they're both so good

Speaking of Clois (I did you've just forgotten this by now) brilliant (like a confession) by kathkin (penny-anna on the hellsite) is so fucking good I'm. Okay. Anyway it'll be listed as inspiration if/when I finally post my two person love triangle fic for them

I'm too anxious to catch up on this before it's done but jumble sale chic is hands down the best spideydevil fic series despite and because of the omegaverse

Make A Little Birdhouse In Your Soul is my favorite take on Jason, period, and has a lot of fantastic Damian stuff going on too. It's updating every few weeks still! Sometimes more often! I love you bacondoughnut it's me JustGail the person who will not stop commenting on your fic you're stuck with me forever

I lied above Rumspringa Murderdock is what got me into Murderdock but that series is second place. I found this one while scrolling through the tv show's mattfoggy tag, thinking I was safe

Speaking of Murderdock mattfoggy, The Lawyer All the Wickedness was written early on in spider-gwen's history and so diverges from canon really early in ways that I think are super interesting and creative

Oh also straight on 'til morning by merils (Tumblr url mamawasatesttube) does SUCH a great job unpacking Kon's trauma and building up healthy relationships around him including a budding timkon romance and yeah it makes me sad and happy at the same time

We're getting into poisonivory territory so just trust if you like the pairing and poisonivory is writing it you'll like it. Ok rapidfire

Like A Handprint On My Heart mattfoggy soulmate au with a twist

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? Damijon future fic/au. Jon came back from the future when both of them were 19. Demisexual!Damian at its best. Damian's terrified of being abandoned by Jon again and it made my heart hurt

I feel like I've already recommended every JayRoy fic by poisonivory and genuinely I do reread them all, sometimes in order of publication if I'm in a particular mood. Maybe the one I've read most though is I've Got the Feeling You're the Right Thing After All which is about Roy and Jason starting a fwb thing while Roy still harbors old feelings for Dick. Can't see anything going wrong here lmao

Mmm this post is long enough so I'll leave it at just superhero fic for now but I do in fact have the ability to do a whole post just for the Witcher or Leverage so I might do that. Anyway thanks for following me on yet another burst of insanity it will happen again

[evadewilson]

hi all, thought i would make a quick post introducing myself — i go by Lance online (he/him) and i’m a reader/writer/artist, an old hat at fandom, and a newly minted spideypool shipper. i like to post little bits and pieces that get stuck in my head, memes, ideas/prompts, and reblog lots of art.

eventually i may post my own art/writing but at this stage i’m just here to look! — this blog is run by an adult (i am in my mid 20’s) and for other adults.

it isn’t specifically nsfw so i put 18+ in my bio because i don’t want to expose any minors to nsfw content that i may post/reblog in the future. in saying that, i used to be a minor in fandom spaces and i understand that an 18+ warning can’t keep them out so whatever.

i’m incredibly receptive to interaction and i love when people add tags to my posts, suggest things in the comments, etc etc. once again… spideypool fanfic… save me…. i have a whole post where i am on my knees begging authors and pals to link their favourite spideypool fics. PLEASE YALL.

account related housekeeping below:

i’m incredibly cool/comfortable with pretty much any ship (particularly surrounding spidey and ‘pool, so if you’re a poolverine shipper, etc etc. hello and welcome. i have many peripheral ships and will likely engage with those (scott/logan, peter/johnny, peter/mj, wade/almost anyone…)

another thing— i don’t care what versions of peter and what deadpool get shipped together. when i’m talking about spider-man i’m usually thinking mcu spidey because civil war/hoco came out when i was a teenager, and although i grew up with tobey and andrew’s spidermen, i got very attached to tom’s spidey and he’s the one who stuck with me. i usually mix canon when i’m discussing spideypool (combining all of the spider men’s movie plots, spider-man and deadpool’s comics, deadpool’s movies, etc.) feel free to imagine whoever or whatever you want!

IN SAYING THAT — i keep having to remind folks that mcu!spider-man/tom holland’s spider-man is officially born in 2001 and therefore 23 as of the time i’m making this post. he’s not a minor so please stop jumping on my ass about this 🙏 in any case, he’s a fictional character, just let people live.

if you condemn or attack anybody for their fandom/fanfic/fiction preferences you are not welcome here.

personally i think a “do not interact” criteria is stupid because most of the people that i don’t want to interact with aren’t going to be sensible or respectful enough to conscientiously decide to not interact with me/my content. in saying that i do NOT fuck with racists, transphobes, terfs, antis, people who engage in ship wars, xenophobes, or zionists. i am a loud and proud activist who believes in land back, a free Palestine, free and safe fandom spaces, and every human being’s right to self determination.

if you’ve made it this far, congrats! ⭐️ here is your official welcome badge. pull up a seat and get comfy. lfg

Just saw spiderverse 2. It was genuinely great a few takes

1.HOT DAMN SPIDER-MAN IS ALWAYS BETTER IN ANIMATION (sorry MCU spidey but holy crap the choreography is so much better during swinging animated)

2. I can definitely see Miguel being that much of an asshole, but it felt jarring to have Spectacular Peter support this shit

3. On that note very glad Hobie stuck true to his, I guess anti-facist roots. Felt a bit more jaded than the comics iirc

4. Do you think this will be refrenced in Insomniac Spider-man 2?

4. The British museum stealing stuff is a multiversal constant

[irondad-defensesquad]

sometimes peter likes resting in his "web bed" (he will make a spot with his webs to just chill for a while).

tony doesn't get it at first. then he decides to join peter when he sees the kid is kinda down.

"... wow. i get it now," tony admits, finding the web bed comfortable.

If Spencer is Spider-Man, do you have any ideas on who in the Smosh crew would be certain Marvel heroes?

okay SO. i have been thinking ab this a little bit, bc i would like to expand the spidey au universe to other heroes. BUT im not gonna talk ab what im gonna do with the spidey au (spoilers lads <3). instead im gonna talk ab vibes. who do i think these people could be hypothetically! there's like one spoiler in here but otherwise none of this has anything to do with the canon for my spidey-spencer-verse.

also i wanna say before i get into this - DISCLAIMER: idk jack shit ab comics and i don't keep up with mcu anymore so. we're flying blind baby! i am making shit up as i go!

amanda: @blandview and i talked ab this and i think we came to a few conclusions: either she'd be black widow yelena OR she'd be an anti-hero of some kind. think elektra, think black cat... yeah she's got options.

angela: okay blandview also suggested this one: kate bishop hawkeye. we are taking no criticisms at this time.

anthony: god...... i could go so many directions but my heart longs to make him a villain/anti-hero. he's so morally gray-coded imo. magneto perhaps. other options are loki and wolverine.

arasha: there's so many options here too but i kind of like miss america for her i think!!

chanse: i mean he's miles morales. spencer is peter parker and he is miles morales end of sentence. BUT if i had to pick a non-spidey option, probably wiccan. i wanna give him magic powers so sue me!! oh or maybe iron lad. those are my faves for him

courtney: SO captain marvel coded for many many reasons. like i don't even think i need to explain this one tbh

damien: okay im thinking of making him part of the hero verse in the spidey fic so i am seriously considering this one... on the one hand like. cyclops. he is so classic x-men to me. daredevil could be fun and sexy for him. oh OR the hulk bc he's bruce banner-coded.

ian: so ive got some ops here: to match anthony. professor x. obviously. OR ant-man. do you see my vision. he looks like that.

jackie: scarlet witch was my first thought! mostly bc i could see her tearing apart the universe for love tbh (i did not watch wandavision but that trope sticks with me)

keith: does keith even want to be part of this. no probably not. maybe gambit or star-lord?? i literally cannot picture him doing this non-reluctantly and that's clouding my vision i think DKNGKNGK

kimmy: specifically jane forester thor perhaps. dazzler or jubilee could be fun for her too!!

noah: out of Everyone, noah is voted most likely to be deadpool imo. i could also see him as quicksilver bc little shit (affectionate)

shayne: i mean. thats captain america. look at him. once again i am done speaking thats it.

tommy: god... tommy is the toughest one. he's so normie in a hero world to me. like 'same shit as always' going to work while everyone out there being insane. angel?? he's also kinda x-men coded to me. otherwise....... winter soldier? i'll be real i got Nothin for that one chief.

anyway hope this was not too much of a disaster love ya bye xxx

[wonderfulworldofmichaelford]

Hi. You’ve spoken a lot about superhero movies on this blog, and the villains especially, and while your insight into both of those is phenomenal, I'm curious: who are your favorite movie superheroes?

Here’s something interesting: As much as I love superhero movies, I don’t think there’s many heroes I love as much as the villains. I tend to gravitate more towards cool bad guys, y’know? But there are exceptions:

Basically any heroes James Gunn has brought us. Rocket, Nebula, and Peacemaker especially. I like that they’re all flawed individuals who really want to do good and have a lot of flaws that cause conflict. I love all the Guardians honestly, but Rocket and Nebula are my favs.

Deadpool. Ryan Reynolds really owns the role, he’s a genuinely likable anti-hero. He’s also mostly funny.

Harley Quinn, mainly thanks to the sheer charisma of Margot Robbie. Again, she’s more of an anti-hero, but still.

Clooney!Batman. I am the #1 Clooney Batman fan on earth. I cheered when he showed up in The Flash.

Wolverine. I’d say he was way overexposed in the original Fox run, but Hugh Jackman made it hard for me to be too bothered.

There is not a single cinematic Spider-Man I’ve disliked. The movies aren’t always good, but I don’t think Spidey himself has ever been done a grave injustice. I love Miles too, his journey so far has been pretty inspiring.

Venom. I love Tom Hardy, I love those stupid movies, I love how unrepentantly goofy and queer they are… Such a great dual role.

Megamind, such a great villain-to-hero character. I love stories where a bad guy turns it around and turns good, and Megamind is one of the best.

Ghost Rider, because he’s a flaming skeleton on a motorcycle played by Nic Cage.

Wong, he’s the best part of pretty much every MCU project he shows up in.

[lexicals]

You can finally do readmores on mobile which means I am unstoppable. Atsv spoilers below I am sharing my thoughts

1. EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU TO THE RIGGERS COMPOSITING ARTISTS VFX ARTISTS ETC. THE ANIMATORS DID AN AMAZING JOB OFC BUT THE TECHNICAL WORK ON THIS FILM IS UNBELIEVABLE

2. I knew I was gonna love hobie but I adore hobie. I love how I knew from minute one this guy knew what was up and was out to shake things up. I'm so excited to see more of him in the next one

3. SPEAKING OF. I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU GAVE ME HALF A MOVIE SONY. This is not an actual complaint I understand why this was done this way but man give me some WARNING THAT I'M GONNA LEAVE WITH IT ALL UNRESOLVED

4. I love pavitr I love spiderbyte I love all the new spideys so much. Most importantly I LOVE THAT GWEN GOT SO MUCH TIME DEDICATED TO HER. IT'S WHAT SHE DESERVES

5. I really really enjoy the setup of miles being framed as a force of chaos especially compared to a lot of much more put together spider people and having miguel as a foil because he's all about control!! The first part of the film builds up to the reveal so well that I was ready for it in a good way it felt right for him and right for the narrative. Miles' thing in itsv has always been about carving your own narrative and your own way of doing things so it's cool that atsv expands on and really doubles down on it

6. Atsv said cops are always gonna be cops first and good cops quit! I don't think their handling was perfect but I appreciate that much at least

7. God the movement. The visuals. The everything. I want to print this film out frame by frame and wallpaper my house with it

8. When are we gonna find out who the little lady with the heart glasses is huh. I feel like she's kept appearing but there's no actual explanation as to who she is. I'm watching that!

9. I have to include a negative. I really hated the live action inclusions. They felt really jarring and just like something to appease the mcu fans which is not what I'm looking for in these films. Just kind of unnecessary and didn't really add anything imo

10. All! The callbacks!! To itsv!!! Fuck man idk if it's just me being someone who's seen that film 50+ times but there were so many little things I was going nuts. Like obviously there were some really big ones but the ones that were subtle visual callbacks specifically had me leaving this mortal plane. The one sticking in my brain rn is miles taking the glass with him when he jumps again but also the being tied to the punching bag and the running upside down over the crossing at his school and the pigeons and

11. The spot is suuuuch a good villain for miles. He's not supposed to be there.... he initially doesn't seem all that important. And he's a chaotic villain for miles the chaotic hero, I love that

12. The anti establishment narrative. Chef kiss. Yes. Question the rules!! Who says this has to be the way!! Pavitr's "I can do both" hobie's "know what you're fighting against"!! Yelling screaming

13. I can't believe I got to 13 of these but also yes I can. Bro the fuckin queer allegories ae you kidding. The not being able to tell your parents the "finding others like you who understand" it feels so obvious but I have to say it anyway

I feel like I'm gonna have more to say as my brian keeps chewing and I'm DEFINITELY going to go watch again asap but in summary AAAAAAAAA
