Rewatched TASM movies recently. First off, the Andrew Garfield bandwagon after No Way Home is CRAZY.
For years I was getting eaten alive in the comments for saying I thought his Spider-Man was my favorite.
I know the Avengers didn’t exist in the TASM universe (which they eluded to in No Way Home) but with time travel, Dr. Strange and the multiverse, the Thanos snap… surely there would be a way to bring Gwen back right?
After watching both films I’d 100% be down for TASM 3 but without Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy I don’t think it’ll be the same.

I'm from a small town in Southern CT...here's the graduating class. We have a lot of people who are Italian Americans, as you can see (Gianna, Dominic, Marcello, Ava), but there's definitely an increase in Hispanic names/spellings. I double checked my typing, anything that looks "odd" is definitely correct according to the newspaper..
I did not combine same names with different spellings (Carly/Carlie, Nicolas/Nicholas, etc). Re Pete: not sure if thats his true legal name or what he was registered as when he started school. I went to school with a Tim who was always Tim on everything because that's how he was registered. His legal name WAS Timothy lol.
Enjoy!

When unfortunate sporting historians of the future look back on the Denver Broncos 5-win 2022 NFL season there will be a lot said of Mr Unlimited’s rather limited performances and Nathaniel’s inability to hack it as a head coach and rightly so.
However, I think it’s important to at least mention the Broncos strange love affair with the medical room. 21 players took a trip to IR, multiple key starters fell victim to season ending injuries including Tim Patrick, Garett Bolles and Javonte Williams.
And in spite of all of the depressing dog doo-doo the Broncos lost by a single score an astounding 8 times. So that’s something right?
Moving into 2023, General George Paton hired his alternate namesake and former Saints Head Coach Sean Payton for the princely sum of pick 29 in the 2023 NFL Draft (Denver also sent a 2nd rounder in 2024 and received a 3rd rounder in 2024).
Only a few weeks after the appointment of Sean Payton the NFL entered its Free Agency period which led to some big changes at Mile High.
15 players were let go to sign elsewhere around the league but not an awful lot in terms of quality.
Dre’Mont Jones, DE - Seattle Seahawks (3 year, $51 Million) Dre’mont grew into a solid contributor for Denver but I’m glad the Broncos didn’t re-sign him for the money Seattle has. By far the most talented to leave the team in free agency but only a very slight miss.
Calvin Anderson, T - New England Patriots (2 year, $7 Million) Not a splashy name by any means but Anderson knew his role and performed well when called upon, A solid backup with starter experience.
Andrew Beck, FB/TE - Houston Texans (2 year, $6.25 Million) Beck is another reliable contributor who seems to have joined a number of former Broncos in moving to Houston recently. A former Salute to Service Award winner.
Mike Boone, RB - Houston Texans (2 year, $3.1 Million) Boone is a fantastic option to have for Special Teams play, however he lacks real quality when running the ball. There was optimism when he initially signed in Denver but that appears to have fallen to the wayside as he moves on rather silently.
Graham Glasgow, G - Detroit Lions (1 year, $2.75 Million) The Broncos offensive line has been offensive to watch for years. Glasgow however has been one of the bright spots, especially when he played at centre at parts in 2022.
Brandon McMacus, K - Jacksonville Jaguars (1 year, $2 Million) The last member of the Super Bowl 50 winning team has left Dove Valley. In a somewhat surprising but expected move if you look at his declining performances Denver only recently moved on from McManus. It was the right time but it sure is a sad sight to see.
De’Shawn Williams, DE - Carolina Panthers (1 year, $1.75 Million) Losing both Jones and Williams is a slight concern in terms of depth. Although Williams isn’t as productive as his former teammate he’s certainly a steal for the Panthers as a rotational/back up. He’s arguably serviceable as a starter as well and knows the defensive staff in Carolina very well.
Eric Saubert, TE - Miami Dolphins (1 year, $1.68 Million) I forgot Eric was even on the team, his receiving qualities aren’t much to go crazy for with 15 recs and 148 yards on a career best 2022 season and his run blocking isn’t fantastic either albeit it is his stronger game.
Billy Turner, T - New York Jets (1 year, $1.5 Million) Billy was a sad loss back in 2018 when he first left for Green Bay. However he couldn’t really get started and spent large parts of the season on IR.
Latavius Murray, RB - Buffalo Bills (1 year, $1.3 Million) Latavius is the biggest loss for Denver in my opinion. The only member of the team who showed passion, drive and self respect throughout his short lived time in Colorado. The Bills have a solid contributor who will definitely fit the pound the rock ethos.
Chase Edmonds, RB - Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1 year, $1.1 Million) We never got to see what Chase could do in Denver and maybe that’s a good thing if his seasons with Miami are anything to go by. I’m sure he’ll do well in Tampa’s pass heavy offence as a backup catching back.
Eric Tomlinson, TE - Free Agent Most of you have probably never heard of Eric Tomlinson and there's a good reason for that. He’s also still without a team after signing with the Texans for 15 days back in March.
Darius Phillips, CB - Houston Texans (1 year, $1 Million) Darius got a few snaps on defence but spent most of his time on special teams, a rather average contributor by any metric but does have a fair amount of starting experience in the league.
Brett Rypien, QB - Los Angeles Rams (1 year, $1 Million) Broncos fans love this guy. He’s not good at football in a practical sense and he’s likely not going to help the Rams secure any wins but he’s a really smart dude and most likely a future coach. Not to mention its fun to say “Let ‘Em Ryp” if he does ever play.
Corliss Waitman, P - New England Patriots (1 year, $1 Million) There is no chance this man will be playing for the Patriots in 2023. Punting for Denver should be quite easy compared to most of the league but Waitman set out to prove us all wrong on that one. Easily the worst punter I’ve seen in Denver for a good few years.
Lamar Jackson, CB - Kansas City Chiefs (1 year, $1 Million) Lamar didn’t really get an opportunity to feature in Denver, I’m fairly sure he’ll be a camp body in KC as well so there’s not much to add on this one.
Although we let a lot of players leave, I think we managed to re-sign the most important of all the players with contracts expiring.
Alex Singleton, MLB (3 year, $18 Million) I’m telling you now, this man is elite. His season started a little slow but he came to town with 21-tackles (19 solo) against Divisional Rivals the LA Chargers. He did a similar thing in week 15 vs the Rams where he totalled another 20 tackles.
Overall I think Singleton is starting to peak and turn into a real force in this league.
Kareem Jackson, S (1 year, $1.3 Million) Kareem has far exceeded the expectations Broncos fans had for him when he joined from Houston in 2019. Initially as a corner and later taking over a strong safety Jackson has been brilliant, his heavy hitting style has made him a fan favourite and I’m pleased to see him back yet again.
Cameron Fleming, T (1 year, $2.3 Million) Fleming was a decent enough back up for the team in 2022 that unfortunately ended up starting more than everyone would have wanted. He’s a great depth addition to bring back, let's hope it remains a depth option though.
With so many departures comes a long list of new faces for the Broncos. 13 new players joined in free agency and whilst some are better than others there’s certainly been a clear direction that Sean Payton is heading in. big men, very big men.
Mike McGlinchey, RT - (5 year, $87.5 Million) I’ve been a big McGlinchey fan since the days of his nasty Notre Dame O-Line, where he lined up alongside Quenton Nelson. Mike’s play for the 49ers whilst good has had some rather concerning points with his lack of success vs speed rushers being the overwhelmingly obvious. We’re reaching a point where McGlinchey is living off of his college performances much like Jadeveon Clowney is still renowned for “the hit”. I do believe mcGlinchey will look like a hall of famer in comparison to every Broncos Right Tackle of the past 10 years and I do believe he’ll be successful in what the Broncos want to do which is run the ball down your throat. Denver has stability at both tackle positions and that’s only going to be a positive.
Ben Powers, G - (4 year, $52 Million) The quickest path to the quarterback is the straightest. It’s important Wilson is protected from the interior of his pocket and Ben certainly has powers in that department. I don’t think it would be an understatement to call Ben Powers elite in pass pro and whilst his run blocking seems to be improving it's not fantastic. Nonetheless I think this is very similar to the McGlinchey situation where we’ve slightly overpaid but the team will have a massive upgrade at Guard.
Zach Allen, DE - (3 year, $45.75 Million) I like Allen but the concern for me here is this past year was a career year for him, and with such a small sample size of good but not elite play I struggle with the idea that he will repeat his 2022 success in 2023. His contract doesn’t appear to be overly friendly either with $19 Million in 2024 cap scheduled in the books along with half of his 2025 salary guaranteed as well.
I don’t think he’ll be a bad signing, his familiarity with DC and former Broncos HC Vance Joseph will be a good thing but for the 3rd signing in a row, and perhaps the most egregious the Broncos have overpaid for their man.
Jarrett Stidham, QB (2 year, $10 Million) I like this move a lot, Stidham is a high end back up who can provide enough of a threat to Russ that he can win games in Denver if called upon. In reality he’s a backup but a back up you can certainly have confidence in.
Chris Manhertz, TE (2 year, $6 Million) I liked the Stidham signing, I love the Manhertz signing. He’s not flashy and he isn’t going to show up anywhere with big stats, however Manhertz has consistently been an elite blocking tight end for years and its players like him that make the difference on short yardage situations.
Samaje Perine, RB (2 year, $7.5 Million) This seems to be another Sean Payton inspired move. Initially Perine was never thought of as a back who could catch out of the backfield but his year spent with Cool guy Joe Burrow in Cincinnati has shown he’s more than capable of being that guy. Working in a committee alongside Javonte Williams should bring success to this lifeless Denver offense in 2023.
Michael Burton, FB (1 year, $1.3 Million) Burton has played for Sean Payton before and that will be incredibly useful for obvious reasons. Burton has been a blocking fullback for most of his career but has shown the ability to run and catch when called upon. I like this move and its a clear upgrade on Beck.
Tremon Smith, CB/Returner (2 year, $5 Million) If Smith is only going to be a returner then I think Denver have once again overpaid for a player coming off a bad year in a position declining in value. I do think Smith can rebound and have the type of year he’s been having since 2018. Not to mention there isn’t a chance Smith can be anywhere near as bad as Montrell Washington had been in 2022.
Riley Dixon, P (2 year, $3.5 Million) Riley was drafted by Denver in 2016 before being traded to the Giants a few years down the line. Despite the advantageous altitude in Denver, Dixon wasn’t a very good punter for the team in his 2 seasons. However, in a move that shows how bad this team really has been Dixon will still be a big improvement over Corliss Waitman and thus this needs to be considered an upgrade.
Marquez Callaway, WR (1 year, $1.1 Million) Former Sean Payton disciple Callaway reuniting in Denver is a good thing from my perspective. During Payton’s last season in New Orleans Callaway managed to put up 6 touchdowns in 46 receptions. The Broncos have a busy WR room but its a room that is yet to be healthy together so this move makes sense from all angles.
Kyle Fuller, C (1 year, $1.1 Million) I don’t expect Fuller to see the field unless there’s another injury disaster as he’s arguably 3rd on the depth chart. I’m glad the team have started to add some much needed depth but there’s also a solid chance that Fuller doesn’t Fill out the roster in 2023.
Following free agency most Broncos fans felt the team needed some further reinforcements but with so few picks available to start the 2023 NFL Draft many were left wondering what kind of magic George Paton could cook up to fill the team with contributing players.
#63: Marvin Mims, WR (Oklahoma) I don’t think anybody foresaw the Broncos trading up in the 2nd round to take a wide receiver. And whilst it's not a huge need, especially with the depth addition of Marquez Callaway in free agency, I do think it's a very good pick.
K.J. Hamler has failed to stay fit and this all but spells the end for his time in Denver in my opinion. It’s no wonder the Broncos front office couldn’t resist the opportunity to take a player with 4.38 speed and a 2-year college average of 20 yards per reception. I can see his ability to line up anywhere coming in very handy in a high motion Denver offense.
What I find spectacular about Mims is his ability to genuinely do everything. He can take the top off a defense, take screens in space for first downs, and generally play well in the short, medium and long game. There'll be some minor concerns over a Oklahoma running limited route trees but given Payton’s creativity and the likelihood of being moved around to capitalize on speed mismatches I don’t really feel those concerns are overly warranted.
#67: Drew Sanders, LB (Arkansas) I think Sanders has a real shot of being the best player selected in the 2023 NFL Draft when we look back in a few years time. He was a 5-star recruit at Alabama before transferring to Arkansas in 2022. Nick Saban has since said last summer that Sanders “probably would have started” for Alabama in one of the deepest pass rushing units in college. Ultimately he starred for the Razorbacks where his athletic prowess, versatility and toughness helped him notch up 9.5 Sacks (2nd in SEC) and 103 tackles.
His ability to play inside and outside will delight Vance Joseph who will end up using him very heavily in blitz packages from both the edge and middle linebacker positions. Ultimately we’re relying on a player's superior athletic abilities to give him the edge until he learns the nuances of NFL football.
His tackle consistency vs the run needs heavy improvement if he wants to be a 3-down player for Denver at either the edge or inside linebacker positions. Part of his problem so far has been a tendency to bite on fakes and misdirections and although his athleticism has managed to shine through at the College level it won’t be as successful at the NFL level.
#83: Riley Moss, CB (Iowa) Moss, in theory, has everything you would look for in an NFL corner with the exception of real top end speed. He’s tall and rangey with good tackling instincts but there are some shortcomings which will likely affect his NFL future as a cornerback. Moss typically leaves a bit too much cushion in zone coverage which can lead to explosive receivers leaving him in the dust. In man coverage he’ll often leave the underneath to compensate for his lack of top end speed; his aforementioned tackling skills at least thrive here.
His run support is likely going to make him a real runner for the slot corner position in zone packages but his shortcomings may also lead to Vance Joseph wanting to move him to safety eventually. The biggest advantage he has going forward is his versatility otherwise he may end up as a special teams contributor only.
#183: JL Skinner, S (Boise State) Drafted predominantly for his size, Skinner stands at 6’4, hits hard and plays to his strengths. Against the run Skinner performs admirably and has fantastic angles when pursuing the runner. In coverage he’s equally as solid with the ball skills to force interceptions and pass breakups.
I can only see Skinner on a trajectory to the top and I'm excited to see him in Denver. Ultimately it will be his responsibility to cover Travis Kelce, Michael Mayer and Gerald Everett twice a year.
#257: Alex Forsyth, C (Oregon) I think the Broncos wanted to draft a center, I don’t believe that man was supposed to be Alex Forsyth. Whilst he’s good value for the 7th round, I imagine they would have rather had the opportunity to take John Michael Schmitz or Joe Tippmann. I’m not sure how this pick is going to work out. On one hand I can see him being part of the same dominant force that allowed his backs ro average 5 yards per play in Oregon but on the other hand he’s a penalty machine much like Garrett Bolles was to start his career.
Overall I think the Broncos did the best they could with the selections they had. It would have been nice to see a tackle for the first time in 6 years or another running back to support Javonte and Samaje.
My concerns with the class is that although they're talented they weren't all the biggest needs this off season.
I can see all of them with the exception of Forsyth becoming a contributing level talent with Denver and over the course of their rookie contracts.
Ultimately this is how I see the roster breaking down:
QB: Russell Wilson, Jarett Stidham, Ben DiNucci HB: Javonte Williams, Samaje Perine, Tony Jones jr. FB: Michael Burton WR: Jerry Jeudy, Tim Patrick, Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims jr, Marquez Callaway TE: Greg Dulcich, Adam Trautman, Albert Okwuegbunam, Chris Manhertz OT: Garett Bolles, Mike McGlinchey, Cam Fleming, Isaiah Prince, Quinn Bailey IOL: Ben Powers, Quin Meinerz, Lloyd Cushenberry, Alex Forsyth, Luke Wattenberg, Kyle Fuller. DL: Zach Allen, Jonathan Harris, Eyioma Uwazurike, Jonathan Cooper, D.J. Jones, Mike Purcell LOLB: Randy Gregory, Baron Browning MLB: Alex Singleton, Josey Jewell, Drew Sanders, Justin Strnad, Jonas Griffith ROLB: Nik Bonnito, Aaron Patrick CB: Pat Surtain II, Damarri Mathis, Riley Moss, K’Waun Williams, Tremon Smith FS: Justin Simmons, Jamar Johnson, Caden Sterns SS: JL Skinner, Kareem Jackson
K: TBD P: Riley Dixon R: Tremon Smith LS: Mitchell Fraboni
There’s probably one big name missing here and that’s K.J. Hamler, who I think will get cut or traded before week 1.
Moving forward into 2023 and the 2024 off season there are a few positions Denver still need to worry about. There’s huge question marks over the ability of Russell Wilson and whether he still has the ability to play at the highest level.
We’ve also got question marks at running back with Javonte Williams coming off a huge injury. Our WR room has a lot of unknowns after Courtland Suttons failure to rediscover his form after his ACL injury whilst teammate Tim Patrick is also recovering from the same injury suffered this past season.
The offensive line still needs addressing as Lloyd Cushenberry often gets bullied in the trenches and Garrett Bolles may revert under another new offensive line coach, so far Mike Munchak is the only man to get a respectable tune from the former first round pick.
Moving on to defense and there’s less issues but still big weaknesses. I’d like to see us invest more in the defensive line and outside linebacker positions with Cooper, Bonnito, Browning and Gregory all relatively unknown in a Broncos uniform.
Ultimately if I had to narrow it down the focus going forward needs to be on center, defensive end and quarterback if things will russ doesn’t improve.
Ultimately there was a lot to like about the Broncos off season changes and everything seems to be pointing towards a more successful, creative team in 2023. We look to have added steel where it mattered across the offensive line and signing Sean Payton could prove to be the biggest acquisition of the all.
Ironically, this series is called defending the draft and that’s what I’ve struggled to do here the most. I like the class, I think there’s some high impact players there for sure, but I’ve come away wishing we’d filled some other key areas a little bit better. Ultimately you can’t always have the board fall as you want it and it’s a huge improvement from the classes John Elway managed to put together.
Thank you for reading my Denver Broncos draft/off season review. I filled in as a last minute replacement so hopefully this manages to hit the right spot for everyone.

LET’S RIDE.

…The first champions in Controversy/Crossfire/Ted TurnePublic Forum were crowned at the NFL National championship. They didn’t cite evidence, gave a 1-minute speech called “The Last Shot” and modeled their questioning periods on Tucker Carlson and Paul Begala’s popular show Crossfire (which ran until 2005, shortly after Jon Stewart came on and destroyed it.) The event was renamed twice the following September and made into an official main event for the 2003-2004 school year. Since then, it’s been both the largest and fastest-growing event by a large margin; it’s changed a lot over the past twenty years, arguably more than any other NFL/NSDA event.
I don’t plan to work any camps this summer, so I’m thinking of using some of my free time to put together a retrospective on the event and why/how it’s changed, so if there’s any questions you have, rumors you’ve heard, myths you want busted, or events you want highlighted, let me know in the comments. Best of luck to everyone currently prepping to be the twentieth official national PF champion in Phoenix this month!

I have following tables:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS auth_user ( id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, username VARCHAR(30), first_name VARCHAR(30), last_name VARCHAR(30) ); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS statistics_restaccesslog ( id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, user_id INTEGER, url VARCHAR(200), course_id INTEGER, date_visited TIMESTAMP, ip_address VARCHAR(16) ); 

Consider below records:

INSERT INTO auth_user (username, first_name, last_name) VALUES ('user1', 'John', 'Doe'), ('user2', 'Jane', 'Smith'), ('user3', 'Michael', 'Johnson'), ('user4', 'Emily', 'Brown'), ('user5', 'David', 'Miller'), ('user6', 'Olivia', 'Davis'), ('user7', 'Daniel', 'Wilson'), ('user8', 'Sophia', 'Anderson'), ('user9', 'Andrew', 'Taylor'), ('user10', 'Emma', 'Thomas'); INSERT INTO statistics_restaccesslog (user_id, url, course_id, date_visited, ip_address) VALUES (1, 'https://example.com/page', 1, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '192.168.0.1'), (1, 'https://example.com/page', 1, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '192.168.0.2'), (3, 'https://example.com/page', 1, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '192.168.0.2'), (4, 'https://example.com/page', 1, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '192.168.0.3'), (5, 'https://example.com/page', 1, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '192.168.0.4'), (6, 'https://example.com/page', 2, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '192.168.0.5'), (7, 'https://example.com/page', 2, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '192.168.0.6'), (8, 'https://example.com/page', 3, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '192.168.0.7'), (9, 'https://example.com/page', 4, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '192.168.0.8'), (10, 'https://example.com/page', 5, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '192.168.0.9'); 

Point 1: Note the records with same combination of (user_id, url) for two different ip_addresses:

 (1, 'https://example.com/page', 1, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '192.168.0.1') (1, 'https://example.com/page', 1, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '192.168.0.2') 

Point 1: Note the records with same ip_address with two different combination of (user_id, url):

 (1, 'https://example.com/page', 1, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '192.168.0.2') (3, 'https://example.com/page', 1, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '192.168.0.2') 

I want to build SQL query which will return all such records. I tried following:

SELECT rat.id, rat.user_id, rat.url, rat.course_id, rat.date_visited, rat.ip_address, u.username, CONCAT(u.first_name, ' ', u.last_name) AS name FROM statistics_restaccesslog rat, auth_user u WHERE ((url, user_id) IN ( SELECT url, user_id FROM statistics_restaccesslog WHERE course_id = 1 GROUP BY url, user_id HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT ip_address) > 1 ) OR ip_address IN ( SELECT ip_address FROM statistics_restaccesslog WHERE course_id = 1 GROUP BY ip_address HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT user_id) > 1 )) AND rat.user_id = u.id ; 

On db-fiddle, it correctly returns first three records:
https://preview.redd.it/xjpcg2hgzn3b1.png?width=838&format=png&auto=webp&s=607b0b1b724078ae8fc6f181de25ddd99f2f64f8
My real database have following records:
https://preview.redd.it/f7dvaqohzn3b1.png?width=922&format=png&auto=webp&s=59fb4f93517eb866471f7df22f665887badda680
(The greyed out urls are exactly the same.)
However, when I run above query, it returns only first record, that is one with id=17. Record with id=18 is not returned, even though it satisfies point 2. Why is this so? What I am missing?

In anticipation of Across the Spider-Verse, I decided to go over all the theatrical movies and give my thoughts on them. I won't be going over Spider-Man appearances in Civil War, Infinity War, or Endgame. Just the ones where Spidey is the main character. I also won't be talking the Venom movies or Morbius.
​
First up are the 3 movies with Tobey Maguire.
​
Spider-Man (2002):
Despite some dated CGI shots. This movie has stood the test of time, and has gotten better with age. Before Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire was Spider-Man/Peter Parker to me. As a kid when I saw him and Kirsten Dunst playing Peter Parker and Mary Jane, I didn't see actors I saw Peter Parker and Mary Jane. The two who steal the show are JK Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson and Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin. JK was born to play Jonah. While Willem Dafoe embraces the Green Goblin character in the same manner as Jack Nicholson's Joker in Batman. The music is also amazing. The Danny Elfman score is one of the best themes I've heard, to me that always will be the Spider-Man theme. There are the songs for the film like Hero by Chad Kroeger and All About by Sum 41 that are just as iconic as the movie. A perfect balance of Humor and Drama, and some great action scenes for the 2000s. And it's very faithful to Spider-Man's origins while still being it's own thing, which should impress both diehard fans and newcomers.
​
Spider-Man 2:
Just as good as the first, and one of the best sequels I've seen. The film deals with Peter Parker struggling with responsibilities as Himself and as Spider-Man, this is something a lot of people can easily relate to. Since Peter wants to have a normal life without the stress of being a superhero. And his duties as Spider-Man has led to him being fired, his friend Harry resenting him, not being there for his Aunt May, and his love interest Mary Jane rejecting him for another guy. But in the end he realizes that the city needs Spider-Man. Especially against the new villain Doc Ock played by Alfred Molina, who is just as amazing as Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin.
​
Spider-Man 3:
This movie had some cool action scenes, and I thought it did a good job juggling the 6 main characters Peter, Harry, MJ, Venom, & Sandman. As well as their personal struggles. I also like the direction they went with where Peter let the fame as Spider-Man go to his head, to being consumed with revenge after finding out Sandman killed Uncle Ben, to learning what it means to put others before himself. But it's kinda Silly at times, Gwen Stacy was completely pointless, and I agree that the dancing scene was pretty lame. But other then those problems, I still think it's a good movie, just not as good as the first two.
​
Next up is the two Andrew Garfield films.
​
The Amazing Spider-Man:
I have issues with this one. I don't like Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man (not in this movie anyway), I don't like The Lizard, and I don't like the fact that we went through the origin story again, I know it's a reboot but I still wasn't interested in seeing Peter become Spider-Man for the second time. But I will say that Sally Field and Martin Sheen were perfectly cast as Aunt May and Uncle Ben, and I will admit that Peter and Gwen Stacy have good chemistry (mainly because Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone were dating at that time).While I didn't hate this movie, I was very underwhelmed.
​
The Amazing Spider-Man 2:
This movie is a sloppy mess with too many storylines and new characters that are underdeveloped and takes themselves way too seriously. It also has a really dumb twist that's like something out of an episode of Power Rangers. There was one good touching scene between Peter and Aunt May when she told him about his father, but that's the only positive I can give it. While The first Amazing Spider-Man wasn't that good at least it was watchable, and say what you want about Spider-Man 3, it may have had some of the issues but at least it knew how to balance the story and characters. To the studio it was just and ad to promote future spinoffs and sequels, and nothing more. Thankfully after this train wreck, things would get better.
​
Now we're onto the Tom Holland movies.
​
Spider-Man Homecoming:
The second reboot of Spider-Man, but the first one since Spider-Man 2 to get the character right (absolutely right). In the movie, Peter Parker desperately wants to be an avenger just like Iron man, despite being in high school. But throughout the film, he learns what it means to be a real hero, which is helping out the little people. Tom Holland is the best actor who has played the character and Michael Keaton as The Vulture is the best Spider-Man villain since Doc Ock. This film also made me a fan of The Ramones, extra points for that.
​
Spider-Man Far from Home:
Seeing it for the first time in theaters, I thought it was just OK. But as time went on I started to like it more and more. What makes this film great is seeing Peter trying to live up to what Iron man did before him, and the pressure it has on him. And his relationship with MJ is just adorable, she is probably the best girlfriend in the Spider-Man movies. While I like Vulture more, Mysterio was a welcome addition to the series.
Spider-Man No Way Home:
I won't go into too much detail as I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet. But the best way I can describe this movie is that it's The Dark Knight of Spider-Man movies. The film pushes boundaries and raises the bar on superhero movies. No Way Home is a perfect example of a movie that balances nostalgia with good writing, which ties up all the loose ends from not just this Spider-Man series, but also the other series that came before it. Also, not everyone is going live happily ever after by the end of the film, in fact Peter does have to make the ultimate sacrifice. These are things that other long running movie franchises should take inspiration from. Now of course this isn't the end, because there is another sequel in production, and I look forward to seeing these characters again . Aside of the mid credit scene, I can't think of any major issues.
​
Finally the first animated Spidey movie.
​
Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse:
I can now say that the good Spider-Man movies officially out way all the bad and mediocre ones. It's one of the most unique animated films I've seen, a 3D movie in the style of a comic book. But that's not all, Miles Morales is a well written character and makes a great Spider-Man in his own right. In addition the film has memorable supporting characters such as Spider-Gwen, Spider-Man Noir, and of course Spider-Hamm. It's also has a great moral that anyone can be Spider-Man, no matter who they are.
​
So, there's my retrospective on all the movies until Across the Spider-Verse comes out. I'll give my thoughts on it sometime in the future.
