Jake Johnson was so perfect for the role of a broken, but still trying, Spider-Man. I loved it!

The second one too. Only issue with that film is that it definitely felt like part 1 of 2, so it felt incomplete in its resolution.

If it’s planned that’s not a bad thing at all imo, some themes are too big to hit home in two hours if you do it right, and they definitely did it right. That’s like saying any cliffhanger ever is bad, they certainly can be if they do it just so you’ll show up the next time, in this case I think they left stuff unanswered so they could take more time to send it home

Great setup movie tho and sequel to the first. Really showed Miles' growth and potential to grow and learn from others.

This is pretty much entirely due to the movie coming just after his passing, but while I adore what’s shown here…I despise that the next thing they showed was the “No refunds EVER!” sign. I wouldn’t care normally, but showing him as a sleazy salesman, ruining one of the most heartfelt and beautiful cameos he ever did, weeks after he died…that really hurts me.

I mean, he was okay with doing it, so presumably he was in on the joke

….sure…but I don’t think he was expecting to die before the movie released. I already said, I have no problem with the concept at all. It’s only the timing that sours it for me and makes me really sad. That was my thought when it happened in the theater. I can never forget that.

Wasn't he like 95? I'm sure he was well aware that he very well could die before the movie released

Ehh... the thing is, he WAS a businessman - Remember, JJJ started as a parody OF STAN.

Witty, hopeful one-liner with sleazy, greedy undertones? That's perfect representation for the man and his legacy

Don't forget that Aunt May also reaffirmed that "They fit perfectly" when giving him his webshooters.
