Problem with the new spiderman

Flash Gordon

I don't think Marvel has the rights to him

Why the hell is Flash Gordon a scrawny debate team member? I love the modern take on who can be a bully.

Honestly, this change probably angered me the most. I was pretty ok with literally everything else.

But this one..... at least still make him a legit bully.

People are so easily triggered these days, a traditional physical bully would've been seen as gross overkill. We're lucky that Flash wasn't restricted to being an online bully, torturing by way of snide comments on Peter's social media accounts.

I feel that. But I feel like one of the big turning points that made spider-man who he was was the fact that he could always stand toe to toe mentally with people but now he can finally match them physically and Flash was always his first test in doing that and then he moved on to bigger and better things. The flash in Homecoming didn't have the physical prowess overtop of regular Peter Parker and still wasn't smarter than him either. He was only able to bully him because he was arbitrarily cool even though there's nothing in what we saw that made him seem any less nerdy than Peter. All of the cool kids were all already on the debate team with Peter and his friends. It makes no sense as to why they all wouldn't get along in the first place.

Yes, the entire point of Stan's "power & responsibility" no longer corresponds to Peter's relationship with Flash.

The rich kid who has popularity fantasies is a fun character, but it's not a replacement for Flash.

It was one of the changes that made sense.

Bullying has changed since we went to high school. Is there still the straight up physical bully? Yeah. But white kids nowadays kill themselves over Facebook harassment.

So they changed him to Flash in the movie which was kind of a dud because he wasn't even good as a rich intelligent bully. But still it was an attempt.

Also Marvel was trying to distance movie Flash from heroic Flash in the comics.

He respects spiderman as a hero even has a what would Spidey do comic set during his time in Afghanistan. Lost his legs there and was for a awhile keeping a drugged venom symbiote in line and acting as a host in Agent Venom.




What made the Sam raimi movies for me was highschool Peter was 20 minutes and done.

We won't get young adult Peter scenes like the above ever again it seems.

Why the hell is Flash Thompson a scrawny debate team member? I love the modern take on who can be a bully.

ETA: I think it's a horrible choice of casting, I was being sarcastic on the last part.

The diversity for the sake of diversity bothered me in the whole movie. I will be curious if MJ is going to wind up being their Mary Jane or if they will introduce another character.

Flash was just a shitty horrible character in the movie.

I thought the film was pretty good.

It's more shitting on the old.

It's a big push to bury MJ in so deep a hole bringing out Liz Allen is like a new character.

frick Quesada, the fat frick started this. frick One More Day, Brand New Day, One Moment In Time. Stop teasing us with Renew Your Vows Marvel, just admit you fricked up by having a flagship character sell part of his and his wife's soul to a devil and make right.

I didn't hate it but It was an SJW shite show. Somewhat disappointed

Peter Parker, School Shooter needs to be examined more if they do another origin movie.
