Lucy Lawless had a cameo in Spider-Man 2002 and was in Ash vs Evil Dead and Bruce Campbell and Ted Raimi were in Xena. I watched some random Episodes of Xena as a kid and I liked it. I'm thinking about watching it completely one day.
Remember the scene from the first Spider Man movie where green goblin breaks into the JJJ's office threatens him asking about the who brings in the spider man's pictures, and JJJ denies it telling he doesn't know him, in hope trying to save peter.
The mcu version of him is just so different and is shown as a "pain in the ass" character more than a comic relief he is in raimi's version. Hope they bring the character back to the basics.
Like I said, the story begins on New Yearβs Day.
In real life, it is also New Yearβs Day. As you may have noticed.
The film has a lot of nice snow visuais.
In real life, in certain parts of the world, there is also lots of snow at this time of year. Or even at all times of the year, depending on the location. You may have noticed this too.
Perhaps these connections will be of some interest to the various adults who visit this website and enjoy Hollywood movies that are targeted to their age group, and that also happen to have a connection to the current calendar date and weather conditions.
I donβt want to spoil the movie so here is a very limited bit from the Wikipedia page. This just gives you an idea of the premise:
>Set in rural Minnesota, the story follows brothers Hank (Paxton) and Jacob Mitchell (Thornton), who, along with Jacob's friend Lou (Brent Briscoe), discover a crashed plane containing $4.4 million in cash.
Itβs a good movie!
I saw the latest Spider-Man movie today and, as well as being by far the best Spider-Man movie out there now, it reminded me of a single moment in Sam Raimiβs original trilogy that always to this day scared the hell out of me.
I refer to Otto Octavius and the hospital sequence from Spiderman 2.
To go into the details of the scene is fairly redundant since if youβve seen it you know exactly what Iβm talking about and if you havenβt, itβs fairly self explanatory, but from the moment the shit starts hitting the fan, I was terrified. To this day Iβve only been able to watch the sequence when drunk and even then Iβve struggled.
Whilst Sam Raimi has never fully abandoned his horror routes (why cast Willem Dafoe as the bad guy if youβre NOT going to make him creepy AF), Spiderman 2 definitely reminded you that this was the guy who directed Evil Dead.
I think the hate she gets is way beyond what she should be getting. Is she perfect? Absolutely not, but the way people describe her to be unbearable and annoying and terrible sounds like such an exaggeration. Sheβs a flawed character for sure though. I also find that people seem to only remember what they want to remember without proper context. The things Iβve noticed that people say when they argue that Mary Jane was terrible are:
She didnβt love Peter Not true but I guess people like believing lies and like to forget this scene at the end of Spider-Man 1 due to simply hating her so much it seems.
She screams too much & is a Damsel in Distress To be fair, she only screamed when she was in danger like being held by the neck over a freakin bridge, or being held while some dude is kidnapping her while crawling up a building without a care in the world of dropping her. I actually found the screaming to be something Raimi did with a lot of other more minor characters too and seems like he definitely took a lot of inspo from very old school (horror) movies (from the 50βs & 60βs).
As for her being a Damsel in Distress, I think people also tend to forget/not consider that these movies begun in the beginning of the 21st century where cheesiness was right around the corner (so many cheesy movies and tropes during the 90s). And again, itβs also obvious that Raimi took a lot from old school Hollywood tropes. This wasnβt made in 2022, standards were different back then.
In addition people like to say she didnβt do anything to help another misconception. She helped whenever she could in all 3 movies. SM1 she yelled from the crowd, SM2 she tried to whack Doc Ock right before he threw her, and in SM3 she threw a brick at Venom while he was about to kill Peter. In SM1 when she was being assaulted in the ally, itβs not like she stood not doing anything but screaming for help, she fought back before Spidey showed up. And in SM2 some people complain that she just sat there doing nothing when Peter was holding the wall and I understand where people are coming from because I thought she couldβve done something too until I rewatched the movies and realized that thereβs a huge piece of metal or steel on top of her. She couldnβt have done much. When she falls down you could actually see her try to push it off but it doesnβt work.
She treated Peter so poorly Whenever people mention this they seem to choos

And I donβt understand why most people donβt like the 3rd one. The only issues I had with it was the shoehorning of 3 villains and Sandmanβs cgi, so why was it rated so low?
Both are really good strength feats for the characters, but which one is more impressive and why?
Not sure what the right flair for this is, a previous thread from 4 years ago comparing two feats was tagged "Casual". But that's no longer an option, so I picked "Battle"
