@NYMag I would love if y’all made articles like this about Brad Pitt or any abuser really

Tom Holland, like Peter Parker in the new Spider-Man movie, has been dealing with some growing pains. ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ starts off by speeding through what would have been Peter’s college years to pick up with him in his early 20s. He has also been going through a spider puberty of sorts, causing his wrists to sprout organic web slingers that render his old mechanical ones unusable and making him prone to fits of black-eyed aggression. This is his equivalent of a spider molting, shedding its old exoskeleton to hopefully emerge — stronger and more resilient — into adulthood. “But the movie has no idea what that adulthood might look like,” writes film critic Alison Willmore. Part of this is a Spider-Man problem — growing up has never entirely suited Peter Parker, who’s always felt most natural as some kind of student. But part of this is an issue with Holland, who’s risen to movie-star status on the strength of the Marvel character but who himself is teetering on the edge of a grown-up career that feels a lot less certain. When Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, with whom Spider-Man is inexplicably paired up for this installment, growls, “I’m gonna kill that kid,” it’s a reminder that Holland also just spent ‘The Odyssey’ playing a boy waiting to come of age while elsewhere in the same film actual children get enlisted into war. “Timothée Chalamet is the same age but plays characters whose core tension is their desire to be taken seriously as men despite their youthfulness,” writes Willmore. “Unlike him, Holland feels perched on the edge of the unknown — like the movies aren’t allowing him to grow up because they’re not sure what a grown-up Holland character entails.” Read Willmore on how, in the latest ‘Spider-Man’ film, Holland, like the superhero he’s playing, struggles to show us what might be next: nymag.visitlink.me/fN7C7U

@212Joel121 @petermjbags She’s a teenager I don’t know how you watched the movie and didn’t see anything other than a friendship

@uniquelydiff56 @petermjbags Yeah sure. They are around the same age but have father and son Chemistry lmfao who are we kidding

you all disgust me

@NYMag This is really weird considering the avengers comes out in 4 months with a ton of middle aged actors ….. also comparing him to Timothee? Why does he have to have a similar career? They’re clearly very different people

@flimbobua @deedeemegaadodo True I guess my point still stands

@uniquelydiff56 @deedeemegaadodo these aren't men dude these people are clearly like 11

Men are so awful. MJ owes him nothing and Peter literally understands that and is able to see it from her perspective. So why can’t these fuck ass little boys understand?

@_BrodyDanny_ @TweeterManee @VanityFair You’re arguing over the less important part of my argument I’m saying why does Tom get a time limit in marvel and no one else? I’m not here to argue about “well tobey was technically 25 not 30 so hah” because it’s pointless

@TweeterManee @uniquelydiff56 @VanityFair Tom was 20 when he got cast as Spider-Man playing a 14 year old, he was near 25 than 14. Dumb child

With 'The Odyssey' and 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day,' 30-year-old Tom Holland is poised to be king of the box office this summer for playing two childish roles. We think it’s time he hangs up the tights vanityfair.com/story/tom-holl…

@ayosbears Or the scene where he thinks MJ remembered him man that was hard to watch

#spidermanbrandnewday spoilers! - - - - - - peter telling ned and mj that building legos in their living room is the most fun he’s had in years 🥺 poor baby. he’s been locked away in his suit for 4+ years and hasn’t gotten to experience any real connection

@ocean011___ @dangeroustwink0 @hopfiIms I’m not hating on her I’m simply stating pretending she’s perfectly healthy is very enabling

@uniquelydiff56 @dangeroustwink0 @hopfiIms Ahhh yes and posting hate tweets will stop how she looks

can somebody take her to the fucking hospital

@SparksflyNZ @Matt__Ray I agree it could’ve been better but the bad things are very exaggerated

@uniquelydiff56 @Matt__Ray The movie needs to stand alone but instead its just part of a convuluted mess. I like toms spiderman its such a shame its been trashed like this.

Spider-Man Brand New Day unexpectedly terrible. Three/four different movies mashed together (less cohesively than even Raimi’s third). Characters show up then disappear at random. A 10-15 min period in the 2nd half where Spidey’s not even in it. What the hell happened

@dangeroustwink0 @hopfiIms Fans like you are going to get her killed there’s nothing normal about how she looks

@hopfiIms ur the problem

@AlexTG_ @camgreenbug Because she’s been shown to be very intelligent she probably thought it was strange that he was so protective of her considering they didn’t know each other even punisher was confused about it and she seen the letter and had a feeling it was for her

@camgreenbug How did MJ know the letter was for her — she’s not mentioned by name

Peter's world stopped the when MJ said , "I don't love ,I don't even know you" ,it was something he knew he gonna face but was never ready but still faced it and let love of his love go one more time

@richtofen7777 @Matt__Ray Spider-Man 3 has the same issue as does Tasm 2 I still think they’re ok movies

@uniquelydiff56 @Matt__Ray Shit gave me a headache ngl to much shit going on

@BIBlBIB It would have been cool if she was coming back from a college vacation or something and she had the red hair and changed her name they really do zendaya dirty in these movies she’s hated for things that the director chooses

they need to find a way to turn zendaya’s MJ into mary jane watson i’m so serious

@YaBoiRex8 @cyanCrusader @VanityFair That’s my point though why does Tom have to have an age limit for being Spider-Man when there was no complaint when they came back and no noise when the average age of the avengers is people over the age of 40

@uniquelydiff56 @cyanCrusader @VanityFair Andrew was in his late 30’s in nwh

@MyTimeToShineH Why did you think you were going to get that? Am I missing something? It wa obvious it would be a continuation of the other movies

My honest review: it’s a good movie on its own, but a bad Spider-Man movie. I’m very disappointed with this film and with the MCU’s take on Spidey in general. Once again they didn’t give me the Spider-Man I wanted to see. Yes, we finally get better swinging and improved visuals, and Peter feels more like his comic-book counterpart - but they turned this into more of an X-Men setup than a Spider-Man movie. What I wanted: Harry, Gwen, Black Cat, maybe Kingpin. Actual Spider-Man villains as the main threat. Maybe even a proper mention of Uncle Ben. What I got: Jean Grey and an obscure X-Men villain who appeared in only a handful of issues as the main antagonists. It all feels like setup for another franchise. And they should’ve moved on from Ned and maybe even MJ, bringing them back makes it feel like the series can’t evolve. Overall, very disappointing.

@prodawesomer @badgal_ari @KdotJohnson_ I’m not 40 lol I was just saying you’re being very demeaning

@uniquelydiff56 @badgal_ari @KdotJohnson_ 40 acting like this sheesh, go find a hobby bro bro

Saying “Tom Holland” is a better Spider-Man than Tobey Maguire is so unbelievably disrespectful bro it makes me cry

@_BrodyDanny_ @VanityFair Ok? Is that not near 30? It’s still a stupid point

@uniquelydiff56 @VanityFair Tobey and Andrew both were 25 when they first got cast as spider-man u lying disingenuous shithead

@cyanCrusader @VanityFair They were both in the last Spider-Man movie in their 40s

@uniquelydiff56 @VanityFair I mean Toby was around Tom's age even he stopped, too. They made those Reimi movies in very quick succession. Tom has been Spider-man since 2016 if you only go by release dates, which was 10 years ago. Toby was, by those same metrics, done in 5. Andrew less, around the same age

@fearedlaker Girl it’s literally a follow up of the other 3 movies!!! What did you expect? Of course they’re going to pay homage to them and how was Jean gray not a strong villain because she was sympathetic?

list of things I hated about spiderman bnd
