I'm pretty sure Tony Stark wasn't meant to be 15 years old.

I’d bet he was supposed to be significantly younger than RDJ was, and Parker is going to be growing up.

He’ll hardly be the first actor in their late 20s playing a teenager anyway, it’s pretty standard these days.

One the one hand, they've completed a trilogy of Peter Parker movies, on the other, there don't seem to be any indications of them winding down with Tom Holland. If Sony were desperate to starting doing Miles Morales movies, they could have them exist concurrently like in the current Spider-Man videogame series.

RDJ was supposed to be a huge crowd-puller. Hence him showing up in Cap 3, Spidey 1, and being all over the posters for those and every Avengers film and obvs his own trilogy.

Tom Holland is a smug little shit who everyone hates and his character was bizarrely imagined as Iron Man’s sidekick. That said, I’d be surprised if they got rid of him unfortunately.

He does keep on blurting out spoilers, though.

I like Holland.
Certainly more likeable than the last two guys.

Like, in your opinion. I cant say thats a view I've seen anywhere else. Given he has done 2 successful solo films, shown up in numerous other Marvel stuff and there was a bit of a fight over using him a few years back, I think he is probably doing ok in the role?  I get the age thing being a problem but that sounded like one of these Kimmel mean tweet things. Can just imagine Producers thinking - "Homecoming grossed $880 million, Far from Home brought in 1.1 Billion and both received pretty favourable reviews from critics and fans alike.... but man, Tom Holland has to go. He is just a smug little shit"

The second one made about the same as Captain Marvel. Everyone also hates Brie Larson. These are just facts. But yeah like I said, I don’t think he’ll go. But Spider-man is the name doing the heavy lifting in those box office takings, not Holland’s. Unlike RDJ - Iron Man, where the reverse was true.

Does everyone hate Brie Larson? There is certainly a section of the internet who don't like either her or the presentation of Captain Marvel as being the strongest of the Heroes but I'm not sure they represent the average movie goer. She certainly comes across as tiresome at times but lets be fair, thats most celebrities now. And I'm not saying either Larson or Holland are not Smug Hollywood A-listers... but thats not really the issue. Who cares as long as the movie is good. 

Back to Spiderman, I think Holland has done fine as Spiderman, he is probably too old to be playing a teenage version of himself but that is easily fixable by just moving the character forward in his life (probably do-able after the snap and this multi-verse thing) I'd be very much with Livdiv in thinking he has been the best Parker on screen so far.

Holland is the worst Parker. Best Spider-man though as he’s the only one who’s done the quips.

Yeah, I don't get the hate for Larson. It was the writers that were the problem with her solo outing, and that's a big problem that's rearing it's ugly head more and more as the MCU progresses.

I like both Larson and Holland. I used to like monkey

Turns out you just don't like super heroe movies. Or maybe movies. I don't know.

Alright that counts.

A cute Spider-man. I rest my case. My stupid pointless case.

Quite enjoyed this week’s What If. It even referenced the Ang Lee Hulk film, which is a deep cut for the MCU.

What was the reference? I missed it.

Just double checked it, and I think I was confusing my Hulk films. Ignore me.

I try and separate the actor from the role. With that said, Cap Marvel was a fairly shit movie.
I like Tom Holland as Spiderman. Think he is probably my fav version.
