They had three of that team in this movie, after all.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-34974011446696158452017-07-11T22:18:49.860-06:002017-07-11T22:18:49.860-06:00Oh yea, no origin story.

It makes sense given the overall storyline and I enjoyed it. Was it just me or did Zendaya steal every scene? Can't wait to see her as MJ in the next one.<br /><br />I loved the second post credit segment. Fans expectations have grown bigger on these with every MCU movie and I loved the fact they trolled us hard. Sometimes patience leads to disappointment. So true.<br /><br />The most fun easter egg for me was Karen, the suit lady. I recognized the voice but couldn't place the name of the actress as I watched the movie. I looked it up afterward and found it was Jennifer Connally, who played Bruce Banner's girlfriend in the first Hulk movie but also the real life wife of Paul Bettany who voiced Jarvis, the 'Suit man' for Iron Man and who now plays Vision.<br /><br />It was good to see Donald Glover get a part in the movie after his public/controversial attempt to get the title role for the first reboot. That went to Andrew Garfield instead but the controversy raised by some fans helped Marvel to go against the grain (I love them for these types of things) and create Miles Morales, a black kid Spider-Man who takes over for Peter Parker. Glover makes an comment in the movie about his nephew who is in fact, Miles Morales. I'm not sure if we will ever see a Miles Morales Spider-Man down the line but it was a nice hat tip to Glover, who has also voiced Spider-Man in some of the cartoons.<br /><br />I was pretty surprised to see Gwyneth Paltow get fifth billing in the movie but it was nice to see Pepper Potts again. In her one scene, the camera panned between her, Jon Favreau, and Robert Downey Jr. that felt a little over the top and gratuitous. I suspect Downey is part of the reason. He has always insisted on roles for both of them in his MCU movies and with good cause. Without Favreau's direction/vision for the first Iron Man along with the chemistry between Downey and Paltrow, the MCU might not exist. Getting a easy payday for two people that did so much to create the today's comic book juggernaut was a nice touch. Doing it on Sony's dime is just icing on the cake for Disney.Kevin Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092721842140433268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-36796717985445563792017-07-10T16:51:02.565-06:002017-07-10T16:51:02.565-06:00I'm not so much into Spiderman (loved Wonder W...I'm not so much into Spiderman (loved Wonder Woman), but I've read good things about it.

She was in the movie too much to be just a generic character anyway.<br />I wonder how much they paid someone to put the Death Star together multiple times?<br />Heard that Holland can't keep a secret, either. For Civil War, they only let him have the part of the script with his scenes in it.Alex J. Cavanaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770065693345181702noreply@blogger.com
