Spider-Man 2
The quintessential super hero sequel.
I feel like we’ve gotten use to superhero movies not being able to stand on its own two legs. They lack the personal stakes, and the creep on the extending universe casts a giant shadow on what should be a personal super hero story like (Ant-Man)
But in this one Peter struggles to balance his lives together. His personal life in shambles, he’s broke, he’s suppressing his love for MJ in an attempt to keep her safe, knowing that he could have is true love at any time if he just had the courage to jump. It’s making him sick, his webs don’t work, and with all the grief combining he puts down the suit.
I could get into all the great things about Doc Ock and how all of spider man’s villains are victims of themselves but I do want to bring focus on the city that spider man protects and the citizens that have grown to love and respect him. Seeing him without his mask and not even giving a second thought to protecting his identity. Even standing in the way and trying to protect him from Doc Ock.
Just love everything. I’d be writing for too long lol
