Set a man afire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

"Dad, I'm not sure that's how the saying goes."

"Shh, son, you'll scare off all the fish."

Credit here, because crediting the creator is important, just in case there's someone who doesn't know this comic.

I hear that guy's a tastemaker.

I hear that guy's a tastemaker.

Mostly from him.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have our new Spider-Man.

I hope they tell the origin story again! 3 in 15 years is some sort of record...

 

[Gryfter]

I really hope they have him appear as Spider-Man already stopping street crime and everyone wondering who he is and maybe recap the origin briefly to someone during the movie..... please god we do not need to spend another 40 minutes of film telling everyone how he becomes Spidey.

 

[Fun Size]

I'd like it even better as a throwaway line:

"So what's your deal?"
"Bit by a radioactive spider."
"Good enough. Meet Hawkeye. He shoots arrows good."

 

[fade]

"was he bitten by a radioactive arrow?"

 

[IronBrig4]

We also don't need to see Uncle Ben get shot while Peter realizes that his great power demands great responsibility... again.

Also, I'm wondering what kind of Aunt May will be in the MCU. The frail, kindhearted Aunt May from the comics and original trilogy, who seems to have been born in the 1890s? The middle-aged Aunt May from the Andrew Garfield movies? Or the elderly but vivacious Aunt May from the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, who seems to be a female Teddy Roosevelt with all her high adventure activities?

 

[CynicismKills]

I'd like to get Ultimate comics Aunt May, she's easily the best of the bunch in my opinion.

 

[Bowielee]

Well, that probably has something to do with her not solely existing as nursemaid for Peter.

 

[bhamv3]

They could also give him an MCU-related origin. Another infinity stone appears on Earth and mutates a spider with its energy. The spider bites Peter...

 

[PatrThom]

There's always an opportunity to explore the Cronenberg origin.

Yeah, some of her best stuff came from

Spoiler

the fallout of Peter's death and meeting 616 Peter.

Selma director Ava DuVernay has been hired to direct Black Panther. (via Jezebel)

Also, Marvel is reportedly courting Kenneth Branagh to direct Thor: Ragnarok. (via JoBlo.com)

Branagh made Thor work - it should have been stupid and goofy but somehow he made it kind of grandiose and awesome. So that's good news.

I think it's very interesting and smart to hire the director of a critically acclaimed movie like Selma to handle Black Panther.

Does she know that it's not about the black power group? Huey Newton joins the avengers?

 

[Celt Z]

At a glance, I thought you wrote

Huey Lewis joins the avengers?

And I had to reread that first sentence.

It's love, PatrThom, before you jump in and do your thing.

I'm curious to know what my "thing" was gonna be.

I was thinking you would have arduously labored for a tenuous connection to any reference other than Power of Love and then put it forward, just because. Like, making two people be stuck together and like it, or something.

Nah. I haven't seen any of the Avengers movies (at least, not since the first Iron Man) to be able to get that kind of context.

Had forgotten that, thanks.
If anything, I would've tried to link it to "If This is It."

Well, he is working for a living.
