Amazing

Yeah, so I watched The Amazing Spiderman 2, and I only have a few thoughts.

• Apart from the horrific thing ten minutes from the end, come the actual end, I did feel somewhat like I'd just sat through a live action version of The Incredibles. It can't just be me who thinks that, right? Spiderman always has a way more juvenile sensibility than any of the other Marvel outings, no matter the studio. It always feels like a kids' film.


• I love Spidey, really, but the thing with Garfield and Dane DeHaan is that they really are very, very young looking. That's not a bad thing, per se, but it does make the entire film feel like that Ultimate Spiderman high school AU. Which would be fine if Principal Coulson was in it, but sadly he's not. It does, however, reinforce my opinion that, of all people, it's Spidey whom I would most like to see incorporated into the MCU. Which is a shame, because he's probably the character least likely to ever revert back to Marvel.


• I was spoiled for the spoiler of death, but still, the manner in which it happened was utterly shocking to me. So quick and brutal and fucking heartbreaking. Wow, just... yeah. I cried.


• Garfield and Stone are adorkable together. I don't normally have very much interest in which celebs poke their bits into which other celebs, but I endore those two whole heartedly for some reason.

That is all, really.

Speaking of celebrity couple endorsements, those several fluff gossip pieces doing the rounds about Chris Evans and Sandra Bullock are just that: hot air, they-had-dinner-together speculatory fluff. Which saddens me because seriously, if that happened, I would endorse that like it was MY FUCKING JOB. Get in there, girl.

No, really...

Further to my previous post, seriously... I would ship it like it was my FULL TIME JOB. I would sell my children so I could spend more time supporting the Evans/Bullock cause. And I say this as a person who generally doesn't give a crap about celebrity relationships. But, come on... I mean. HER FACE.



GET IN THERE, SANDY B.
