Why have the later versions of Spiderman failed to have staying power like the original trilogy?
Because obviously cinema got it wrong for the last century. The already established multi-million dollar franchise needs to "reach a broader audience" for whatever fucking weird uneducated parasocial reasons
>>220287765Because:TobeyDafoeFrancoDunstwas a pretty stacked cast with star power.
>>220287765Raimi did such a great job that the subsequent versions felt the need to be different just for the sake of it.
>>220287765Things nobody wants:>black/hispanic Spider-Man>black/hispanic Mary Jane>fat ugly pakistani Flash Gordon
>>220287765Because Raimi got soul.
>>220287765I wouldn't say Raimi necessarily understands comics better, but her understands how to portray/adapt to film, comics better.
>>220287765The Spider-Man trilogy stuck in people’s minds partly because it arrived at the right moment. Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire helped define what a modern superhero movie could be, and Spider-Man 2 in particular gave audiences a strong, self-contained emotional story before the genre became crowded.Later versions didn’t have that advantage. By the time Andrew Garfield appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man, superhero films were everywhere, and the character was rebooted again soon after with Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Homecoming. That rapid turnover made it harder for audiences to form a lasting attachment.There’s also a difference in how the stories are told. Raimi’s films stand largely on their own, while Holland’s Spider-Man is deeply tied to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which can dilute his individual arc. Add in nostalgia—many people simply prefer the version they grew up with—and it’s easier to see why the original trilogy feels more enduring, even though later films like Spider-Man: No Way Home have still made a huge impact.

>>220288261Spiderman 2 just feels really sleek and cool for some reason.
>>220288261Also garfield spider man came a little too soon, the 2000s had just ended and they have a new thing reboot altogether already, plus it wasn't so amazing unironically, Raimi had a peculiar style that's not just the new modern thing.
Peter was too much of a nerdy pushover in these.
>>220287765>most grown-up version of Spider-ManAt least as the main character. You can simply do more from the get-go with that.>Brand New DayIn the aftermath of his life-ending mistake perhaps Tom's version will grow into a similarly mature Spider-Man but who knows if they'll get that far, if that's even the plan.
>>220290946Yeah he was perfect, minus the cuck mj stuff, still better than whatever came after.
>>220287765ugly brownoid mutt casting
>>220291166They're going to write Peter out and make Miles Morales the post-Secret Wars Spider-Man.
>>220291202>SAAR WHY ARE THESE MOVIES ABOUT PETER PARKER AND NOT THE REAL SPIDER-MAN PAVITR PRABHAKAR????
