I felt like the cheese was a little heavy in that installment. Molina definitely killed as Dr Oct but I couldn't get into it. That said, Spiderman 2 was 100x better than Spiderman 3...

This is true.  Spiderman 2 was good and Doc Oct is still the best Spider-Man villain we've seen on a movie.   I think 3 was so bad it ruined it forever for the others in my mind.

I've come to the realization that superhero movies ultimately just don't work like they should in the standalone format.

For as good as Maguire and Molina may have been, they'll always lack the grounding a shared universe could have given them.

The MCU concept revolutionized comic book movies and made them what we always hoped they could be.

These days, I can't imagine it being any other way.

Very good point. To me, it's the exact opposite in the comics. I feel the best spidey moment, or most heroes for that matter, are standalone. Sometimes, it doesn't work out in the movies and the MCU understands that.

Why the fug can't superhero movies work like James Bond films? A series of stand alone films where the thespians are replaceable, and never requires a reboot?

That seems the most logical way to approach them.

 

 

inadverdently, they're doing it. I can't think of any comic character that was brought to the big screen that only one actor portrayed him....Besides Hugh Jackman and Wolverine.

A good portion of the MCU.

Iron Man - Downey

Thor - Hemsworth

Black Widow - Johansson

Loki - Hiddleston

Etc.

Downey is is synonymous with iron man I think they just won't have him in MCU over trying to replace him with someone else as Tony Stark.

but they could easily just bring another version of iron man in there don't think they will though

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
