The Disney Spider-Man movies are a perversion of the character in service of a propaganda machine. If you think about the Raimi iteration of the character, his villains have mass fortunes while Peter struggles to keep his head above water delivering pizzas and selling photos to the Daily Bugle. The Disney films invert this dynamic; his villains are scorned by the rich and powerful while Peter vies for their approval. I keep seeing people praise the newest movie for being the most comic accurate and yet he has never had a job. Much like Uncle Ben, his financial troubles are quietly swept under the rug. “Maybe Tony left him a slush fund!” Even if he did, how would he get it when no one remembers Peter Parker? Forget how he affords it- how does he get an NYC studio apartment without a credit score?

Another aspect of this incarnation, present since his first outing, is the integration of an AI assistant built into his suit. Why is that part of it when it isn’t in the comics? Because they needed to seed the idea into young audiences that AI is cool and fun to use. Homecoming payed homage to Ferris Bueler in a scene where Spider-Man tumbled through suburban backyards. That movie opened with Ferris hacking the school database; the message to its audience then similarly being “hey kids computers are cool”. By invoking that teen comedy, they suggest you treat this movie the same way; fun, light hearted. In Far From Home, Peter gets NSA / Palantir glasses that let him immediately access his peers personal information and call in bomb strikes for some reason no one really understands (it’s to indoctrinate the children further into thinking this kind of thing is fun). No Way Home sets up this Peter as being able to do what his predecessors could not; curing their rogues gallery with technology instead of just beating them (technology will deliver you from pain, children. It is the solution to all life’s problems).

He's right. When they announced Zenmuttya as MJ BUT SHES NOT ACTUALLY MJ I knew Disney had put their dirty hands on it. Nobody should be surprised since Zenmuttya was a Disney child actress.

Spider-Man ended in 1987, everything after that has been fanfiction.

>>222798399
Perhaps most egregiously, in the new movie Peter constructs his own AI after having lost the one Tony Stark provided him. What no one stops to ask because we’ve been conditioned by ten years of Peter Parker having one is “Why does he need one at all?” If he’s a super genius, why does he need to outsource his thinking to an AI? He never needed to before. Because the MCU is made in tandem with the US government (just as any movie featuring military technology is) and these are aspects of their indoctrination campaign they need to hammer into the children watching. “You want to be a hero like Spider-Man don’t you? Then use AI and align yourselves with the corporate techno-fascists.” They pay some lip service to the fact that the jobs Ned and MJ are seeking in the tech industry directly contradict MJs personal ethics, but be so for real- she’s got three months of being unemployed before she caves and takes a remote job working for Raytheon. This Peter Parker doesn’t need to worry about money because he’s funded by private equity to defend the elites from super powered pariahs who actually challenge the status quo.

Peter's NYC apartment is how richfags genuinely think the struggling poor live in America. The writers are just that out of touch.
>>
>>222798487
Very big true. But actually Marvel ended with the bankruptcy after buying ToyWiz (headed by Israeli Avi Arad). Its all been fanfic slop since then. Spiderman really only lived on in the games, Raimi movies, and the 90s cartoon.

I actually thought during the film that the most unrealistic part about the whole thing was Peter somehow being able to afford an apartment in Manhattan.

>>222798423
Don't you get tired of posting the same thing in every single thread?
>>
>>222798399
Look honestly I skimmed that all because it's just too damn fucking long.
From what I saw, I agree.
I rewatched Tobeyman recently and I was reminded of how poor he was, how so much of the experience of the character is that he's dirt poor, everyone he can actually rely on is poor. And that reminded me of how Tony Stark turns up in the first Zendayaman and just removes that aspect of the character.

Yes, I thought the same when watching it.

Only Norman and Harry were rich; Ock loses everything on the accident and neither Sandman or Venom were ever rich
>The Disney films invert this dynamic; his villains are scorned by the rich and powerful
Vulture WAS a middle-class dude but it's clearly rich during the present day, by selling high-tech weapons to thugs that threaten actual middle-class people. And Mysterio was a high-ranking inventor that was fired for being mentally unstable, which he proves it by destroying a bunch of cities for his ego and need of hero worship.

hollyjews think 'poor people' live in NYC apts or 3bed2bath houses in suburbs. actual average joes get the 'cattle' label
>>
>>222798826
Norman, Harry , JJJ, Doc Ock, the astronaut boyfriend, and the paki pizza owner are all rich and respected in their fields.
>what about Spider man 3 ?
Peter Parker was the villain in that one. Also the movie production was messier, the script worse.

>JJJ, his son and pizza guy
not villains

Zendaya-man having a tech solution for everything, and no screentime dedicated to solving issues with school, money, and bullying makes his movies feel like videogames.

>Mmmmm mmm mm! Boy I sure do love the taste of boot leather in the morning! That’s what I love about these techno-oligarchs: they keep putting their boots in front of my mouth and I keep getting a tongue full of yummy yummy boot leather absolutely free of charge! Honestly, I should be paying THEM for the privilege! Open a data center in my asshole, daddy! Subsidize it with my tax dollars! Pay for your AI using my inflated power bill! God you hurt me so good!

Same way I can access my bank account even though nobody at the bank has any idea who I am.
Unless the forgetting spell also wipes all records connected to you with some reality warping bullshit.

Innocent people have been arrested or given bullshit fines simply because an AI camera misidentified them as someone else, and for some reason everyone treats AI like it's infallible.

Unironically, dropped.

Is it really that hard to believe that he might have had a part-time job or two off-screen in the 4 year gap? Maybe it just wasn't that interesting to show like most of his crime-fighting adventures. They only showed the highlights. We don't need to see every single group of street thugs he beat up, we don't need to see every single time he clocked in at Mcdonald's either. It's just something he did when had some downtime and saved up enough to buy his computers and such.

Peter is also implied to have some amount of college education under his belt at this point. Aside from sneaking into Banner's class, he is never shown inside a college classroom or doing homework or anything like that. It was a big deal in the comics! It was a big deal in the last movie, the whole reason he messed around with magic was so he could get at least his friends into college! Why isn't it the focal point of this movie? Because it's not what this movie is about and it's not interesting enough to even acknowledge. They trust you the audience to fill in gaps like this with their imagination.
>>
>>222802153
Yeah, and none of that has anything to do with memory which seems to be what the spell wiped.
Seems unlikely the spell wiped Peter's bank records and shit.
>>
>>222802211
Let’s assume you’re correct. What job could a high school graduate with some college education and no degree do part time that would allow him to put a first and last deposit and pay rent on a top floor studio apartment in Manhattan?
>>
>>222798399
I'm really worried about the integrity of Spiderman's character

they made Spidey get anally Blacked so he represents the average american

I would love to have a threesome with Sadie Sink and sissified Tom Holland.
>>
>>222798729
It's a bot. I think it only checks for Spider-Man and Dr Doom too, it's not very consistent.
>>
>>222798550
>>222798399
If Peter was poor he wouldn’t be able to afford a NYC apartment. Don’t those things go for half a million? Peter would afford an apartment outside NYC right?
>>
>>222802818
In real life sure. But the MCU is a world where a half the population got turned into dust and NYC gets blown up twice a week.
>>
>>222798399
i know youre shitposting but the AI surveilance in the movie really was disturbing
Like he just has accest to everyones private information in New York and the move treats it as a joke
I genuinly think its just a way to make Peter Thiels mass surveilance system look normal
>>
>>222802520
It's a movie about people with superpowers. It's a different reality. It's not supposed to be realistic.

>remember goy, talking to a PC is cool
In the next 10 years we are going to get a generation of technological illiterates never seen before.
