Spider-Man: Homecoming' anticipation thread

[Anwar]

In the comics, Hobgoblin was a direct knockoff of the Green Goblin, a villain who discovered Osborn's hideouts and equipment and was inspired to take up Goblin-ing himself (although, being comics, it naturally got much more complicated than that). However, the Hobgoblin came first in the '90s animated series, because the toy company insisted on it for some reason. They worked it out by having a pre-Goblin Norman Osborn be the one who provided the weapons and equipment for the Hobgoblin, then claimed them for himself when he finally had the accident that turned him into the GG.

It wasn't just that. At the time the 1994 cartoon came out, Norman was still dead (and frankly, hadn't been all that successful a villain at that point) and the Jason Macendale Hobgoblin was still active. No one knew Kingsley was the Hobgoblin then, so they went with Macendale

I don't think so. All of the Phase One love interests have been phased out, it seems. Pepper is MIA after her and Tony broke up off screen, Peggy is dead, and Jane will be written out because Natalie Portman doesn't want to come back.

More like Phases One and Two romances. And Marvel is doing a rotten job in portraying the end of these relationships, with the exception of Peggy. Her and Steve broke apart when he crashed into the Atlantic back in 1945.

By the way, Marvel could have hired another actress to portray Jane Foster. There have been three Bruce Banners aka the Hulk and two James Rhodes. Why not a second Jane Foster?

 

[Tosk]

Two Banners, not three.

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Yeah, have they asked Keira Knightley if she would like the role?

 

[Nightowl1701]

There's nothing Natalie does that Keira can't.

And sorry, Eric Bana's father issues are NOT part of the MCU. (Norton just barely qualifies at this point.)

 

[Marsden]

What about Jack O'Lantern, who became a Hobgoblin for a time. He'd be a good inclusion.

I'm still waiting for The Leader to come back. Maybe they're holding him for after Thanos?

Michael Giacchino will compose the score for Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Hopefully we get a trailer soon.

Rumor-- Peter's love interest will be Liz Allen played by Laura Harrier.

[Skywalker]

Liz Allen makes a lot of sense after Mary Jane Watson and Gwen Stacy were already featured prominently in Raimi and Webb's movies.

 

[The Old Mixer]

Especially as its authentic to the original source material. Mary Jane and Gwen in prior non-comics incarnations were usurping her role.

Not that Pete every really had much going with Liz. First he was interested in her and she wasn't, then vice versa. By the time she came around to him, he had a more reciprocal (albeit ill-fated) romance with Betty Brant.

 

[LJones41]

Two Banners, not three.

Three Banners. "The Hulk" is still a Marvel film. N'cest pas? And I find it odd that the 2008 film began where the 2003 film left off - with Bruce in South America.

 

[Skywalker]

Hulk was a Universal film, just like all the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and pre-Civil War Spider-Man films were actually Fox and Sony films. When Marvel Studios got the rights back to Hulk and did their own movie, they deliberately skipped over the origin story (only glossing over it in the opening credits, and doing a version that's not consistent with the one in Hulk) because people had already seen a variation of it not too long before. Since Marvel Studios was only just getting started, they probably started off with TIH meant to be at least a semi-sequel/soft reboot of Hulk, which is why we see Banner in South America in the beginning, but as the project developed things changed and the events of Hulk were no longer considered in-continuity.

So, yes, two Banners. Just like there's only been one Peter Parker in the MCU, not three.

 

[LJones41]

Hulk was a Universal film . . .

And so was 2008's "The Incredible Hulk". In fact, the latter was merely a reboot of the 2003 film. There were three Bruce Banners.

I thought the 2008 movie a loose sequel of the 2003 movie

It was made so that it could be taken that way by the casual viewer, but it presented an incompatible origin story in the main-title montage, as well as tying the Hulk's origin into the military's attempts to recreate Dr. Erskine's supersoldier formula, foreshadowing Captain America.

 

[USS Firefly]

Ok apparently I missed that.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Also, the character of Glenn Talbot was killed off in the Ang Lee movie, only for him to show up alive and well on Agents of Shield.

And to be not quite so evil. Also, Hulk turned Bruce's father "David Banner" into the Absorbing Man, while Agents of SHIELD had Carl "Crusher" Creel in the role.
