Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse FILM REVIEW!

Alright, let's do this one last time.....Let's follow Miles Morales as he navigates his life balancing school and being your friendly neighbourhood Spider-man. It's been a year since Miles entered into the Spiderverse now he's going to go on a journey across it, to stop the menacing SPOT! The Spot may look like your average weekly cartoon villain of the week but don't tell him that because he will lose his mind and unleash hell upon you because he's a slippery devil to catch, let alone fight. Miles ends up with old friend Gwen going to different realities trying to stop Spot all the while meeting many other different Spider-Men and Spider-Women throughout the 2 hour 16min feature animated film.
My god the different animation styles are insanely gorgeous and just so brilliant from all the different spider-peoples and their worlds. Gwen's in particular has some of the most beautiful blends of colours which reflect moods and emotions and the goings-on in the world and story perfectly. Hobie Brown aka Spider-Punk is a show stealer with his ever-changing animation! There is about 20 mins of flashbacks and reminders to the last film just to show you that all this came from some just unthinkable out-of-the-box foreshadowing, I have ever seen in a film. The Butterfly effect in this film is insane, the attention to details the animators and writers and directors had for these animated films is extraordinary and out of the park. The story is quite dark and mature for a family friendly film, but don't worry there are jokes here, and they are genuinely funny. There's so much I could say, but I want to keep this spoiler free. My faves are Miles, Gwen, Peter B Parker, Miguel O'Hara, Spider-Punk, Spider-Man India, Spot and I know it's like I could name all the characters, but honestly they are all so good and the great writing and voice actors support it so much. There were some sound issues to start the film when I watched this, but It was not to a point where, I needed there to be subtitles haha.

Miles is fantastic as usual with his gripping story and how he balances life and spider-man. All the voice cast here are just excellent you know, I can't say enough of how good a job they have all done! All the cast and crew behind this film need a massive pat on the back for their outstanding efforts towards bringing us not only one of the best animated films and spider-man films ever made but also Spider-man stories! Daniel Pemberton kills it once more with his original OST! Metro Boomin with their licensed soundtrack is also a massive hit! Animation, music, soundtrack, voice cast, story are all outstanding, and I am willing to 100% say PHENOMENAL!

10/10!
This is in the league of the best Spider-Man films ever made and spoiler alert.......this was only part 1 of the two part Spider-verse films. March 29th 2024 cannot come quick enough!!!! Honestly I don't know what else to say. If you are a Spider-Man fan, you will love it. If you are not a Spider-Man go watch into the spiderverse first because you will be blown away! I got a video review on my youtube channel!

Thanks for visiting my blog true believers!
Stay Swinging and EXCELSIOR!

Top 10 MCU Movies (2008 - 2019)

The dust has settled and i feel it's time to do this list. I am only doing films from 2008 - 2019 at the moment okay, i know the mcu is ever expanding every year and superhero fatigue is strong but disney gonna milk that sum bitch dry of all its money til the money stops rolling in. So let's open the multiverse up and rank these suckers. 
10: Ant Man
The movie that taught us never to underestimate any small superhero again, and made us want to buy some Ant-Man comic books. Entertaining and funny. The relationship between Scott and his daughter is also lovely and touching to watch.

9: Iron Man
The one that started the whole idea of a shared cinematic universe. Totally deserves the respect it gets. Robert Downey Jr. absolutely nails it as the arrogant, yet caring, Tony Stark. It's very entertaining and light hearted.

8: Avengers Age Of Ultron
Of course i wish Ultron could have been done and designed better but i still very much enjoyed this film.

7: Iron Man 2
The best iron man sequel, not that its saying much but i found this witty and very enjoyable from its character work to action scenes to soundtrack but the final act is messy.

6: Captain America: First Avenger
This is a really fun movie. Although not perfect, it's a film that anyone can just sit down and watch without having to google the previous 12 movies to decipher who all of the characters actually are and have a good time.

5:  Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2
Not as good as the original but still very entertaining and still makes this list as one of my faves, I love how much they flesh out these characters and the larger universe too. 

4: Thor Ragnarok
This movie is so entertaining and exciting and the effects are really good, best Thor movie in my opinion.

3: Guardians Of The Galaxy vol:1
A great story, cast, soundtrack just no doubt about it, this is one of the riskiest moves for marvel which paid off so darn well. It's one of the best!

2: Endgame
I loved Thanos as a villain between this and Infinity War, I loved his final death. He knew he lost, he just sat down and took it like a man, no crying or last words. Great movie, but I preferred Infinity War, this had too many plot conveniences and the hype did not fully deliver for me but as a whole the fan service in the film and the imagery and cast and music is so good and has many fave moments of all time in the mcu for me in this.

1: Infinity War
This was a PERFECT culmination of 10 whole years and was, undoubtedly, a masterpiece. Josh Brolin did a REMARKABLE job as Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy and I'm glad we got to learn more about him in this movie. I loved the interaction between the characters and the actors' chemistry with each other, especially those who hadn't met beforehand! A villain so hard to hate is a great villain also. So yeah i feel this is the best we have had from MCU at this point.

So that's my top 10 MCU films, did they stack up to your liking? What is your 10? 

What did this list cost?..............Everything. 
Stay Shiny folks!

How DCEU Should Make Man Of Steel 2! Fan idea for the general plot of the sequel.

Since Lex is free let's have him antagonise Supes. Bring Metallo and Bizarro. Lex is obsessed with Supes can be the main story to why he went and created a bizarre superman and that he also wanted to take down the man of steel so acquired Kryptonite and helped make Metallo come to life.

Have the first half be Supes is back saving lives while Clark struggles getting back to the normal routine and then perhaps fails to save John Corben which is all part of a trap by Lex of course but supes won't know. John is thought to be dead members of Lexcorp take the body away supes is down sad he couldn't save someone's life and have Metallo come alive being brainwashed by Lex saying "It's his fault your like this, it's his fault your a metallic monster, it's his fault your METALLO!" which has Metallo power on snap at Lex holding Lex off the ground angry. Metallo replies to him: "Tell me where he is!" and Lex smiles and we cut to a peaceful day in the city all is well, until a train station is on the news being destroyed with people inside being trapped and killed from rubble and supes see's this and ignores it as he is down as he thinks he failed saving John's life. Louis talks Clark into going to save the people trapped in the train station as details emerge on the news it's some green robot is terrorising the city.
Superman snaps back to being a hero he's determined to stop this robot hurting others because he realises he can't always save everyone and what happened to John was not his fault and he saves those trapped uneed rubble and flies towards Metallo.  He lands near Metallo. Metallo: "So you've finally decided to show your face? Too bad you left it late, so many lives could have been spared if you wasn't so selfish!" Metallo blasts superman who dodges the blast. Superman: "You know greens not a good colour for you" Metallo: "You think so? Well come closer for a better look" Superman: "No thanks I'm good over here. So tell me, why are you causing all this senseless destruction" as superman starts to approach Metallo as the two talk. Metallo: "It's all a show, it's all for you of course, it's the only way to get your attention, for I have been looking for you" Superman: "You villains always like attention but there's a better way to get it without violence" Metallo: "Ok so please do show me, tell me what I have to do and I'll come with you quietly" Superman puts his hand on Metallo's shoulder as Metallo smiles and grabs superman tight as he can as metallo's chest plate goes down and reveals kryptonite to superman, making superman weak and in pain from Metallo's grip. The police see that superman is in trouble and are shooting at Metallo which has Metallo's guard drop and he is getting shot at pretty heavily so he releases superman and goes after the police instead which creates enough distance for superman to gain composure to lazer blast the exposes kryptonite in metallo's chest effectively blowing Metallo up. Of the explosion only metallo's head remains and he mutters to superman: "You've killed me again, you couldn't save me as a human and you couldn't save me as a machine, what hope do you inspire again?" Superman realises it was John the guy he tried to save and looks at him shocked and apologises to him before Metallo shuts down. Superman flies off.
Second half - Lex is mad at the news Metallo has been defeated so he decides to do something so drastic and that's to use the dna on what he has from superman to make himself a clone but he messes up and ends up with Bizzaro enraged at his failed superman clone he torments the clone, tortures him, telling him superman is the enemy and calls Bizzaro names and so on which enraged Bizzaro having him leave Lex's company to go kill Superman. One day whilst saving a family from a fire superman is just speared mid air by Bizzaro causing the two to Duke it out as superman is left reeling as he can't believe he has to fight a look a like of himself and he's trying to talk sense into Bizzaro but its not working so Superman fires back harder hits which does knock some sense into him but then emerges Lex from his limo wanting front row to see his failure actually succeed in killing superman. Bizzaro has superman in a choke hold as Superman tells Bizzaro "please don't do this I'm you, I'm not the enemy, I'm friend, I am brother,  I am family." which has Bizzaro let go of superman and questioning himself whilst Lex is yelling at Bizzaro, lex just bullies Bizzaro calling him useless and a freak and a ugly failure which Bizzaro snaps and picks lex up and goes to snap him in two but lex pulls a controller out and presses a button which causes a small bomb in Bizzaro to go off exploding his head as lex laughs and looks at superman saying "You can thank Amanda for her services there, as I have just saved your life" Superman looks at lex baffled and replies. "What do you mean,why would you do that?" Lex: "Look around you Superman, can't you see all the cameras, they now will all say that I saved you which means to the public I have redeemed myself so my companies stock can rise again!" Superman: "So you set up all this for money?" Lex: "Gee if you'd actually have a brain you'd know it's not about the money at all. If it was up to me I'd have killed you after your family but your a very lucky boy today and very lucky that I have a lot instore for not only you but also your friends, family and the entire world! It's going to be fun so I hope you like chess, because I've made the first move." as Lex gets in his limo and rides off, leaving Superman to have a quiet day and get back to the office supporting Superman of the new public opinion of Lex Luther. And if you want an after credit to my comment story I'd put Lex meeting up with a Mr. Savage ;)


I'd cast Sam Worthington as Metallo, there's a tongue in cheek Terminator reference to be had here :P 

I'd also cast Johnny Depp as Vandal Savage, i'm sure there's a tongue in cheek fragrance reference to be had there also. Why Depp as Savage? The two are quite eccentric and Depp can pull off the look and intensity of Savage easily. 

Thanks for reading this, if anyone did, I got carried away here haha.

Top 10 Spiderman Costumes

*Thwip thwip* Oh hi there, it's me your friendly neighbourhood 1stMetalGod! Just here blogging once again this time with Spiderman and my fave costumes of his! 
Some spider costumes on my list wont be all by Peter Parker.....tell me who is your fave spidey!

10) Superior Suit Mk2
To make himself a better Spider-Man, Octavius designed a new suit similar to the original Spider-Man suit, but with some modifications, these being that blue on the original costume was now replaced with black, the design of the symbol on the back was changed, the web design on the mask (mainly around the nose) was changed, the design of the belt is spikier, the lenses on the mask were now made of glass and could show a Heads-Up Display, all of the fingers on the gloves have retractable claws on them, and the big toe on both boots is separated from the rest of the foot and both have retractable talons. He further modified it, lacing carbonadium in the mask to prevent a mind-switch, a built-in communications device to activate nano-spider-tracers, and creating "spider-arms" on the back; as a possible homage to his previous identity. I think this one is very similar to Ben Reilly's suit and i like both a lot but there's something about this one that makes it here. 

9) Iron Spider
Before the events of the Superhuman Civil War, Tony Stark fabricated a new red and gold costume for Peter, utilizing much of the same technology used for his Iron Man suit, with the main difference being the suit's mesh-like quality. This new suit provided Peter with advantages he never had before in other costumes, such as radio transmission scanners and receivers, multiple biological sensors for himself and others (such as EKG readings, pulse rates, etc.), multiple vision settings, deflection of small caliber firearms, enhanced strength and limited gliding capabilities. The Iron Spider costume also provided Peter with three retractable pseudo-arms, named waldoes, though they weren't ideal for fighting. If Peter ever felt that he would like a change of pace in his appearance, Stark also built in a feature for the costume to change its appearance at Peter's will. This was an ideal feature for Peter because he never had to worry about trying to hide his suit in public. We also got our first live action sneak peak at the suit in Spiderman: Homecoming and it looked nice but was missing the arms. 

8) Stealth Suit
Spider-Man created this suit to combat the Hobgoblin's sonic screams; the suit warps light and sound around it, rendering it invisible. It was later changed when Kaine had it. 

7) All-New, All-Different Spider-Man 2099
When Miguel joined Parker Industries, Peter created a new Spider suit for him. This version glows red, and can change colour. The suit material is Unstable Molecules bonded to kevlar to increase durability immensely. It has better-integrated "light byte" material to improve gliding, and thrusters integrated into the boots for launch. Distance offensive capabilities are provided by "spider-saucers" running down the sleeves and integrating into the gloves, and the suit also has on-board sensors for complete vicinity readings. I love the design of the suit more then the original. 

6) Noir 
Set in an alternate Earth during the great depression Peter found his Uncle was killed and wanted revenge. a spider statue – breaks open and releases a horde of spiders. One of the spiders bit Peter, causing him to pass out and dream of a spider god. After waking up, Peter discovered he possessed arachnid superpowers. Donning a mask, Peter confronted Norman Osborn in his home in order to get him to give up his hold over the city. However, Peter was shocked to discover Urich, who was revealed to have been blackmailing Osborn with his information on the mob boss in exchange for fueling his drug habit. Angered, Peter left Urich. Upon returning home, Peter created a costume based on his uncle's World War I-era airman uniform and became the vigilante, Spider-Man. This suit is really unique and i love it!

5)  Cosmic Spider
After defeating the Tri-Sentinel, the Uni-Power chose to remain with Peter Parker, apparently due to his heightened sense of responsibility. Spider-Man soon came to see his old sparring partners as pedestrian threats, dispatching the likes of Venom and Hobgoblin with little effort. His sense of responsibility led Parker to attack larger and larger problems in the world, ignoring his personal responsibilities and his wife, Mary Jane. This continued until he tried to alter the basic earth and weather patterns of Africa to make it lush and arable. This brought him into conflict with Thor and then Doctor Doom, who wanted to steal the Enigma Force using his Absorbascann. Doom tried using Captain Universe's original host, Ray Coffin, as a hostage, but Parker let him die while trying to get at Doom. Spider-Man realized the Uni-Power was corrupting his sense of responsibility and expelled it. The Uni-Power briefly entered Doom, only to discover it was a mere Doombot. As Spider-Man became Captain Universe again, he used the Absorbascann to release the power of the Enigma Force from his body over the entire world. The cost was his spider-powers as well as the Uni-Power, leaving Peter Parker a normal man. Or so it seemed until he and Mary Jane gave birth to a baby daughter with signs of the Uni-Power within her. I always thought his outfit was very unusual, unique and cool. 

4) Future Foundation Suit
This suit was created for Spider-Man when he joined the Future Foundation following the death of the Human Torch. It is made from Unstable Molecules, thus it can repair itself, never get dirty, and change its appearance.

3) Spider Armour Mk3
Created by Peter Parker with Horizon Labs vast resources to fight the Sinister Six if needed in a last resort. When Doctor Octopus started his last master plan before dying, Spider-Man knew he would have to use it to stop Octopus' attempt to speed up the Greenhouse effect. The design on this is sic! 

2) Symbiote
During the Secret Wars, Spider-Man's costume was torn during battle and he was sent to a machine that would repair it. Unknown to Spider-Man, the machine was actually a prison that contained an alien symbiote, which copied Spider-Man's thoughts about the costume worn by Spider-Woman, and created a duplicate of it. Both during and after the Secret War, Spider-Man learned that the costume could respond to his thoughts, change its shape, and create a seemingly unlimited amount of organic webbing. However, after wearing the suit for some time, he began to feel unusually tired and consulted his friends, Reed Richards and Jonathan Storm. Richards said that the suit was actually an alien creature and that it was taking him web-swinging every night while he slept. Spider-Man then had Mr. Fantastic and the Human Torch remove the costume using both a sound wave generator and fire, as its only weaknesses are loud sound waves and intense heat, and locked it in a protective case. The suit eventually escaped and hung itself in Peter's closet, disguised as one of his red and blue costumes. Unfortunately, Peter grabbed the symbiote and it reattached itself to him, which forced Spider-Man to use the bells housed in Our Ladies of Saints church to remove the suit. Many issues later, the suit secretly found and bonded to Eddie Brock, who became Venom. I know there was no need to explain this suit as everyone and their grandmothers know the story but it's still awesome and the story gets changed a lot and this is the official first comic story of the suit.

1) Classic Red & Blue
Of course this is number 1! This is the traditional suit that Spider-Man has used throughout his career. It is made from a skintight cloth, most likely Spandex or similar. The costume is mostly blue with red gloves, boots, mid-section, and mask. Peter designed a web pattern that covers the red portions of the suit, starting at the mask. The suit also has a black spider in the centre of the chest and a larger red spider on the back, both of different designs. The mask has plastic lenses with a chrome covering that allow Peter to see out, without letting others see in. The lenses also protect Peter's eyes from dust particles and the glare of the sun while he is swinging through the city. In addition, the mask helps to conceal Peter's identity by muffling his voice, thus making it unrecognisable to others. He also wears a twin set of web shooters on his wrists under the gloves. A web cartridge belt is also worn under the suit, which has a spider-signal on the buckle. The suit also contains a special ear-piece that protects Spider-Man from the effects of Hobgoblin's sonic attack. Spider-Man has recently updated the lenses of the suit to protect himself from Iguana's hypnotic stare.

Which suit is your favourite? 

A LIST OF MOVIE SUITS IS TO COME SOON!
For now that's all from me, thanks for visiting and reading, stay shiny!

Spider-Man: Homecoming: Superhero Drop Out? (REVIEW/RANT)

Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can! Spins a web.....hang on let him just make a formula for web cartridges and let him insert them into his wrist shooters....

Ok continue....Spins a web any size, catches thieves almost like flies he stumbles a long the way.....LOOK OUT! *Spidey gets hit by a bullet* For god sake i said "LOOK OUT!" not get hit by a bullet, COME ON WHERE'S YOUR SPIDER SENSE!? 

Ok let's continue the song....here falls a Spider-Man? Whatever go on....Is he strong? Listen bud he can lift more in a Stark made outfit than he can without one, what's up with that? I know he is a teen he's pretty scrawny but still he is supposed to have super human strength...jesus just carry on. 

He's got radioactive blood? No he does not because the purple glowy thing in the thing is said to react to radioactivity and blow up and so if Spidey is supposed to have radioactive blood why does the glowy thing not react to him holding it? Conclusion....no radio active blood maybe? 

On with the song....Can he swing from a thread? (Surprisingly so) Hey there! There goes the Spider-Man (do a flip!). In the chill of night, at the scene of a crime, in a streak of light, he arrives just in time (i guess) , Spider-Man, Spider-Man, Friendly neighbour hood Spider-Man (now that is true!) , Wealth and fame, He's ignored (Eh) , Action is his reward (Not really) , To him, life is a great big bang up (yeah if he's not passed his training wheels program), Wherever there's a hang up, You'll find the Spider-Man.

More or less i covered my review in the Spider-Man theme song for crying out loud. I love Spider-Man he was the first hero i got into as a kid. He introduced me to Marvel. I loved the Rami trilogy. The Garfield double was bad. Civil War Holland was amazing and stole the film. Spidey in homecoming in his big MCU outing well it has problems and feels more like spidey is trapped in an iron man film but yeah he put on a great performance. 

Now Spiderman Homecoming review/rant will continue in full below.....

***SPOILERS AHEAD***

I would have liked a throwback 5 min origins clip and not just a two second "oh I got bitten by a spider and here we are" when really honestly it does seem 95% of the film is just him relying on Tony Stark and the suit Stark made him for his powers. 

Spiderman does not need Tony Stark at all and the fact the MCU writers believe he does is annoying. They did not give him his one signature power either which is SPIDER SENSE! Yes that's right it was not in the fucking movie and that royally bugged me. There was pieces in the movie where you were like well I was like "ok a nice slow mo dodge here now...PETE WHAT THE FUCK!? WHY DID YOU NOT DODGE!? DO YOU NOT HAVE SPIDER SENSE?! Wait.......he does not have spider sense? MARVEL YOU HAVE FUCKED UP YOUR OWN CREATION, LET SONY HAVE HIM FOR GOOD!" That how i feel over the fact that he has no spider sense i did not see any part in the film where he had spider sense so if you seen that part come point it out to me so i can FLAME OFF.  So yes I protested heavily in my mind about that. Maybe Spider sense and spidey's abilities come like puberty does for him? After watching civil war and spiderman homecoming again in one night it does seem he was shown off better in Civil War and may have some spider sense but its not directly mentioned or shown just now and again he will dodge a punch or something going to hit him. 

Nice little Scorpion nod. Vulture was great. A lot of Vulture scenes and motives and some spidey scenes echoed that of the Sam Rami trilogy which was a nice homage i thought. 

A Indian smart Flash Thompson!? Marvel stop trying to change everything in your cinematic universe to keep diversities happy, I HAVE NOT read or seen any Spidey comic with Flash not as a white jock character who bullies others. Flash is a white jock guy who bullies Pete and others in school, a simple thing to get right and you swerve and fuck that up I mean how?! 

Comedy was good it did hit a bit. Aunt May, jesus Christ so lame, the movie even took the piss of her being "attractive". Michael Keaton played Vulture brilliantly and stole the show. The first guy who played Shocker I liked but the second I did not why? The first one had more of an attitude that the Shocker i know has and was like and it did annoy me Shocker only had one shock gauntlet. Holland was good very entertaining. Tony Starks time in the film was roughly half hour so more than a Stan Lee cameo. Michelle and Ned were entertaining also. If Michelle ends up as MJ you know Mary Jane Watson i will be disappointed. Lots of references to spidey abilities I liked and a certain suit.


Its a spiderman film in a iron man film if that makes sense honestly its better than Garfields spiderman but not better than Tobey's. The film I would have made much more different some parts should have been cut out honestly. I am tired of every mcu movie having to reference or bring in bits from the mcu like we get it, it's in the same universe just please focus on the characters and story and not on past events. I can't say it blew me away. It kind of ruins the fun of Spider-Man when instead of discovering the joy of his own powers, he’s just playing with his new toys. You want to see Pete struggle with his powers which ok he kinda does as he is not big on heights but he gets there but honestly, you have to have 5/10 mins screen time of him finding out his abilities you know but as Marvel said "WE AINT GETTING INTO HIS ORIGINS ITS BEEN DONE TO DEATH" Well Marvel I have to say you are lazy bastards. Batman's origins have been done to death and look it still happening, don't get lazy you rich wankers. God damn it. 


I feel like a alien. Everyone has been like "IT WAS AMAZING" I have been like "It was good....just good....It has problems but it's just good nothing more." and then I have people yelling at me like "your a fucking idiot dc fanboy for disliking this film! ITS MORE THAN JUST GOOD IT'S AMAZING...NO SPECTACULAR!" I am here face-palming like "Liking DC has nothing to do with it! It's a good film take my compliment but it's no where near SPECTACULAR OR AMAZING!".... You know a lot in this spiderman film felt new and original like the characters maybe they took inspiration from newest spidey comics (which I have not read) maybe they did things just original. I am not sure but when it comes to spiderman I know what he should be like and characters around him are like. 

I feel Civil War showed off Spiderman more and better in the short time he was there than the full 2 hour solo film he has. 

One thing i have not touched on is the soundtrack, how was it? Pretty meh Ramones were in it twice the Marvel intro with a short Spider-Man orchestra cover was nice but i wanted it to be more fuller if that makes sense so lyrics and bit longer and more instruments. It's not anywhere near Guardians, Baby Driver nor Wonder Womans levels of epic soundtracks in movies at the moment for 2017. 

I am quite convinced he does not have any powers to be honest why? He is only using them in a suit. Maybe wall crawling he has and he has strength but not to the super strength calibre that he famously has. No spider sense, his webs are made by him of course but thats nothing new but again he is only supposed to use the powers when under concealed identity so no one knows its him but you know it's common for him to not have a superhero suit and be climbing up a wall or two before he has a suit. 

MCU fans and critcs love it and have no faults with it where as I have faults with it and the fact not one positive review from a critic has picked up on his no spider sense is really disturbing it must means comics have now fully transcended the "geeks only" wave to pop culture. If you have read or followed a spiderman cartoon or comic you will fully know that his signature abilities are not featured in this film well besides the webs but still. Only time he shows his powers is when he is in a suit. Now yes his homemade suit is obviously not the Stark material so it must be him actually wall crawling and not using some stark tech on his gloves and boots. He picked up a bunch of rubble so he must be strong somewhat. People said to me when I said: he has no spider sense. That "He don't need it he has Karen" KAREN IS NOT IN HIS HOME MADE SUIT AND HE HAS NO SPIDER SENSE REGARDLESS OF THE STARK OR HIS OWN COSTUME AS SHOWN IN THE FUCKING FILM! 
Marvel said "we wont include spider man origins or uncle Ben because everyone knows the story so it be a waste of time to do it again". 

Marvel people  and well I trusted you to handle a spiderman film but look at it, it's making you look weak and incompetent. Jesus so much wrong with the movie, HOW DO PEOPLE NOT SEE THE PROBLEMS I SEE? IT SPINS ME OUT! I am here as ever going "did I watch a different film". Critics and some friends who seen it say its amazing. Theres good, bad and ok super hero films and homecoming is in the ok category. Best superhero film this year so far is Wonder Woman i would say at the moment. 

I just read this quote from the director of homecoming on why no spider sense - "I feel like we have seen a lot of Spider-Sense in the previous films,” he said, “so we didn’t really lean into that as hard as they have in the previous films. But I do think it is a really interesting thing to explore.” Honestly saying that shit is more stupid than anything on the planet. He felt we seen the power too many times but is an interest to explore? That makes no sense. Of course we have seen it a lot, why? IT'S PART OF SPIDER MANS POWERS FOR FUCK SAKE! Jesus Christ how stupid can you get this director is gonna be blacklisted if I hear any other dumb comments from him from the film. Jesus more I look into the film the more a mess it looks WHY do this film if its going to be this messy did they purposely rush it? The cut scenes from the film were not supposed to be in the movie is what Jon also said. Jesus Christ Jon Watt sounds like a fucking genius doesn't he? 

God damn Spiderman homecoming is winding me up lol. Also it would have been nice to see him swinging through the city at the end of the film with a monologue going on. 
I think i live in a different world, i enjoyed Bat V Supes and Suicide Squad yet critics hated them and critics love Spidey: Homecoming and i thought it was half of what they say. 

I seen amazing spiderman in cinema once and I seen amazing spiderman 2 in cinema three times....yes the film has problems but I liked it a lot more than amazing spiderman. I seen Spiderman Homecoming twice in cinema also. 

Do they need to have another go at Spidey? YES. Will they? Most likely not now until end of MCU. Best Spiderman film? No, I will put it by Tobey Trilogy though but not first place. 

Spiderman: Homecoming - 6/10 

To rank all the spidey films my order would be = SM 1, SM 2, TASM 2, SM3, SM H, TASM.

Thanks for reading and visiting my blog, can not thank you enough. 

Do you agree with me? Do you disagree? Got something to say? Comment and let me know. 

Maybe you can point out or debunk things more about the movie?

1 like and 1 comment can save Spidey from being ruined by film studios!

Top 10 X-Men Characters

Hey yo, so i seen the fantastic Xmen: Apocalypse this weekend and like i said it was fantastic,i was gripped and hilariously fueled by it's brilliant acting,cgi and story that it just sucked me in. I honestly loved the movie. The first class Xmen films have been just phenomenal!

There are critics of course that hate the movie for these reasons and yes these are the legit key words "messy,boring,lack of fun and emotion and colourless." Once again just like Batman vs Superman we must have seen a different film! Those critics don't know shit honesty judge a film yourself! Yet these same critics who hated Bats V Supes and Xmen Apoc they liked Civil War which if you ask me, i am going to be brutally honest the story i could not give a crap about i was bored with it despite that the fight scenes and humor made Civil War great! 

Ok i know, i'm getting heated up like Cyclops optic blasts but hey enough of the chit chat bub and let's get down to ranking my top 10 Xmen characters. Oh and i will say all characters on this list are open to characters of the xmen series and not strictly limited to the actual X team it's self but rather the characters or rather mutants that exist in their universe! 

The X-Men is a team of comic book superheroes in the Marvel Comics universe. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, they debuted in The X-Men #1, published in September 1963.

The X-Men franchise has grown to become one of America's most popular comic books, producing dozens of spin-off series over the years and turning some of its writers and artists into industry stars. 

Since it's birth its worth mentioning that the X-Men comics were steeped in deep political and social themes, particularly the civil rights movement. It’s no coincidence that, ironically, Professor X is modeled after Martin Luther King Jr., while the series’ chief antagonist, Magneto, has much in common with the controversial Malcolm X.

As the franchise progressed, X-Men stretched past the geopolitical climate of mid-century America and morphed (or mutated) into something much larger. The series came to represent an overarching allegory for discrimination as a whole and specifically, anti-antisemitism, racism, and gay rights. 

X-Men has always been in the spotlight media of pop culture by it tackling these issues and for bringing new things to the table. It is why it's one of Marvel's and the comic industry's biggest successful comic franchises of all time.


THIS LIST CONTAINS A LOT OF INFO AND MAY CONTAIN POTENTIAL SPOILERS OF SOME KIND TO THE COMIC AND FILM SERIES, ALTHOUGH I WILL BE TRYING TO AVOID SPOILING THEM. 


10: Havok
Alex Summers aka Havok is Scott Summers aka Cyclops older brother and is one of the first to bring into the comic series the concept of relative mutants can not hurt each other with their powers.

A bit about Havok now - Alexander Summers was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. He is the second of the three known sons of Christopher Summers, a United States Air Force Major and test pilot and his wife Katherine Anne. 

Havok's powers -  Havok is a mutant possessing the power to absorb ambient cosmic energy, process it and emanate it from his body as waves of energy that heat the air in the path, turning it into plasma in the form of a blast or discharge, with a tell-tale concentric circle pattern. These waves will emanate from his body in all directions unless he purposefully tries to channel them in a single direction, usually along the length of his arms. This results in control over an extremely powerful sort of destructive force. He is immune to the adverse effects of most forms of radiation and heat. In the past, he was not entirely able to control this ability, which made him a danger to those around him unless he wore a special containment suit equipped with special sensors for measuring and controlling his power output. Havok is immune to his own powers and to those of his brother Scott. He is resistant but not immune to Vulcan's powers. The energy that Havok releases is not truly a concussive force. Should Havok direct his energy at the lowest level, he can project it towards a human being and his target will suffer a severe headache, but will not burn up. He can absorb cosmic energy from his environment (such as starlight, x-rays, and gamma radiation) and store them in his cells, metabolizing the energy to generate plasma wave discharges that super-heat and disintegrate objects. His absorption is normally passive, but he has shown that he can actively drain and absorb energy as well.

9: Apocalypse
In the harsh, unforgiving desert of ancient Egypt, ruled by Rama-Tut, a band of nomadic raiders found an infant, gray-skinned and freakish in appearance, abandoned by the settlers of Akkaba. The nomads took the child for their own, giving him the name En Sabah Nur, “The First One,” and teaching him to be "strong" in order to survive the desert as a child. This idea, that "the strong will survive," would shape Apocalypse's actions throughout time. Apocalypse came upon some alien tech and infused himself with the tech to give him his near cybernetic appearance. Apocalypse almost always recruits mutants to serve as his personal guards, known as the Four Horsemen.

His powers: Apocalypse's full extent of powers remain to be revealed, especially to the extent of which powers have since been augmented by alien technology. Apocalypse claims to have control of his body on the molecular level-- allowing him to shape change and elongate with virtually unlimited range, to increase density and allow his body to mimic metals and armors, to teleport, and to be virtually immune to the effects of age. Apocalypse can also increase his strength to levels surpassing that of the Hulk, grow to giant sizes, and gain the power of flight, sometimes through turning his arms into wings or jets. Apocalypse can also transform himself into a variety of human disguises. He has exhibited energy absorbing and projecting abilities in the past. Apocalypse has been termed an "External," due to his mutant ability of immortality. Briefly, Apocalypse has shown potential to be a powerful psionic. It has further been hinted that Apocalypse's body is ravaged by a techno-organic disease. Many of his regenerated bodies must use an exoskeleton body armor to prevent his energies from consuming him. Apocalypse can apparently merge/switch host bodies to continually revive his self-consuming body.


8: Nightcrawler

My fave variation of Nightcrawler has been his swashbucklin form, he is so badass with his trusty sword that's fo sure!

Faith should have a prominent role in Xavier's Dream. However, almost all of the faith-based concerns fall on the shoulders of Nightcrawler. Deeply religious, Nightcrawler is feared and hated for his devilish appearance (and German accent). Oddly enough, he seems to receive more venom from religious zealots than most X-Men simply because of the way he looks. Religion is one of the few commonalities that could bring mutants and humans together and it is through his faith that Nightcrawler has stayed true to the X-Men for so long. In Nightcrawler's earlier comic book appearances he is depicted as being a happy-go-lucky practical joker and teaser, and a fan of swashbuckling fiction. Nightcrawler is a Catholic, and while this is not emphasized as much in his earlier comic book appearances, in later depictions Nightcrawler is more vocal about his faith. Oh and spoiler but Nightcrawler is the son of Mystique. 

Powers: Nightcrawler possesses superhuman agility, the ability to teleport, and adhesive hands and feet. His physical mutations include indigo-colored skin which allows him to become nearly invisible in shadows, two-toed feet and three-fingered hands, yellow eyes, pointed ears and a prehensile tail. 

7: Mystique 
Throughout most of her history, Mystique has been a supervillain, founding her own Brotherhood of Mutants and assassinating several important people involved in mutant affairs. At one point, she mentions that she is over 100 years old. Mystique is the mother of the villain Graydon Creed, the X-Men hero Nightcrawler, andadoptive mother of the heroine Rogue. She is forced to abandon Nightcrawler, but raises Rogue for a number of years, and the two women have mixed feelings towards one another. She has been on both sides of the fence of the Xmen team over the years and has been portrayed brilliantly in Xmen first class era of films.

Powers; Mystique is a shapeshifter who can mimic the appearance and voice of any person with exquisite precision, and her natural appearance includes blue skin and yellow eyes.

6: Rogue 
Hailing from the fictional Caldecott County, Mississippi, Rogue is the X-Men's self-described southern belle. A runaway, she was adopted by Mystique of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and grew up as a villain. After Rogue permanently absorbs Ms. Marvel's psyche and Kree powers, she reforms and turns to the X-Men, fearing for her sanity. Rogue's real name and early history were not revealed until nearly 20 years after her introduction. Until the back story provided by Robert Rodiin the ongoing Rogue series, which began in September 2004, Rogue's background was only hinted at. Her name was revealed as Anna Marie, although her surname is still unknown. She has sometimes adopted the name Raven, which is the first name of her foster mother Mystique.

Powers: Rogue has the involuntary ability to absorb and sometimes also remove the memories, physical strength, and superpowers of anyone she touches. Therefore, Rogue considers her powers a curse. For most of her life, she limited her physical contact with others, including her on-off love interest, Gambit; but, after many years, Rogue finally gained full control over her mutant ability.

5: Xavier
He has always been portrayed brilliantly if you ask me in all the media forms he has appeared in be it, video games, tv series to live action films.

Xavier is a paraplegic variously confined to either a wheelchair or a form of personal hovercraft. One of the world's most powerful telepathic mutant minds, Xavier is also something of a scientific genius, having earned Ph.Ds in genetics, biophysics, psychology, and anthropology, as well as an M.D. in psychiatry. He's put his combined talents to use by serving as a leading authority on genetics, mutations, and psionic powers. Furthermore, he has shown noteworthy talents in devising equipment to greatly enhance psionic powers. Xavier is perhaps best known in this regard for the creation of a device called Cerebro, a technology that serves to detect and track those individuals possessing the mutant gene, at the same time greatly expanding the gifts of those with existing psionic abilities.

Although quite at odds with his consistent use of the X-Men to fight threats of evil by engaging in purely physical battle, from a social policy and philosophical perspective Xavier has been shown to deeply resent the violent methods of those like his former close friend and occasional arch enemy, the supervillain Magneto. Instead, he's presented his platform as espousing uncompromising pacifism in order to see his dream to fruition - one that seeks to live harmoniously alongside humanity, just the same as it desires full-fledged civil rights and equality for all of mutantkind. Xavier's actions and goals in life have therefore quite often been compared to those of Martin Luther King, Jr. for his involvement with the American civil rights struggle, whereas Magneto is often compared with the more militant civil rights activist Malcolm X.

Powers: The founder of the X-Men, he himself is an exceptionally powerful telepath who can read and control minds of others. While running a private school in upstate New York in order to both shelter and train mutants from around the globe, Xavier also fights to serve the greater good by promoting peaceful coexistence and equality between humans and mutants in a world where often zealous anti-mutant bigotry is widespread.

4: Magneto
Magneto is a badass! One of the if not the best Xmen villain but he has not always been on the wrong side of course he has been the X-men's greatest ally aswell!

Magneto is not only the most famous X-Men villain by far, but one of the most complex in comic book history. A Holocaust survivor, Magneto has seen first-hand what hatred and fear of those who are different can cause, and has determined that he won't let it happen. So in that regard, Magneto really isn't a black-and-white "villain" like many of the characters on this list. His motivations are understandable; even sympathetic. Of course, doing things like ripping out Wolverine's adamantium skeleton or frequently attacking humanity on a massive scale is less sympathetic.

His powers consist of control over magnetism and the manipulation of ferrous and nonferrous metal. While the maximum amount of mass he can manipulate at one time is unknown, he has moved large asteroids several times and effortlessly levitated a 30,000 ton nuclear submarine. His powers extend into the atomic level (insofar as the electromagnetic force is responsible for chemical bonding), allowing him to manipulate chemical structures and rearrange matter, although this is often a strenuous task.

3: Deadpool

Now what can i say about this guy? He is just insanely brilliantly awesome? Yeah sounds good! 
Ryan Reynolds portrays him perfectly in the deadpool movie. STILL CURRENTLY MY FAVE SUPERHERO FLICK OF 2016.

Deadpool is aware that he is a fictional comic book character. He commonly breaks the fourth wall, which is done by few other characters in the Marvel Universe, and this is used to humorous effect. He often has conversations with his two internal monologues, which are shown as caption boxes in his panels; in Deadpool #28 it is revealed that the villain Doctor Bong, a foe of Howard the Duck, is the logical voice appearing in yellow captions,and in Deadpool Annual #1 (2014) it is revealed that Madcap, a foe of Captain America, is the psychotic voice appearing in white captions with a typewriter serif. Wade Wilson's early life is mostly unknown. His mother died of cancer while he was young and his father (who was in the military) was physically abusive. Learning that he had contracted cancer, Wilson broke up with Vanessa rather than force her to remain with a terminally ill man. In Canada, he was offered hope in the form of Department K, a special weapons development branch of the Canadian government. Wilson became a test subject in Department K’s branch of the joint U.S./Canadian superhuman enhancement project, the Weapon X Program; his cancer was temporarily arrested via the implantation of a healing factor derived from another Department K agent, the mutant adventurer Wolverine. During one mission, Wilson killed his teammate Slayback. As a result, he was rejected from the Weapon X Program and sent to the Hospice, allegedly a government facility where failed superhuman operatives were treated. However, unknown to the Canadian government, the Hospice’s patients served as experimental subjects for Doctor Killebrew and his sadistic assistant Ajax, with the patients placing bets in a "deadpool" as to how long each subject would live. Killebrew subjected Wilson to various torturous experiments for his own deranged satisfaction. In due course, Wilson formed a semi-romantic relationship with the cosmic entity Death, who regarded him as a kindred spirit. Wilson’s emotional strength during his trials earned him the respect of his fellow Hospice patients. Then Ajax, angered by Wilson’s taunts, lobotomized one of Wilson’s friends. At Death’s prompting, Wilson killed his friend to end his suffering. However, under Killebrew’s rules any patient who killed another was to be executed; Ajax subsequently tore out Wilson’s heart and left him for dead, but Wilson’s thirst for vengeance was so strong that it jumpstarted his healing factor, regenerating his heart, although not curing his scarred body. Wilson then attacked Ajax, leaving him for dead in turn, and, taking the name Deadpool, escaped from the Hospice with his fellow patients.

Powers: Deadpool is depicted as having an accelerated healing factor, which not only prevents him from being permanently injured through enhanced cell regeneration throughout his body, but also causes psychosis and mental instability, as his neurons are also affected by the accelerated regeneration. It is thought that while his psychoses are a handicap, they are also one of his assets as they make him an extremely unpredictable opponent. Taskmaster, who has photo-reflexive memory which allows him to copy anyone's fighting skills by observation, was unable to defeat Deadpool due to his chaotic and improvised fighting style.Taskmaster has also stated that Deadpool is an expert at distracting his opponents. The character is known for his talkative nature, has been nicknamed the "Merc with a Mouth".

2: Cyclops 
As a kid i loved Scott Summers because he lead the Xmen and was pretty cool and not so dramatic like in the 2000's xmen films. 

The student has become greater than the master. That's the nature of the world and so to is it with the X-Men Universe as Scott Summers has surpassed Xavier to become the greatest X-Man. A heavy burden was placed on his shoulders as a young man. He was chosen to lead a team of mutants on a crusade that would likely determine Homo Superior's place in the world. He's lost two wives, reunited with his space pirate father, discovered two lost brothers, fought beside both a son and daughter from alternate futures, and defended The Dream as a knight might protect the Holy Grail. Through all of this, he's still standing. 

Powers: High-intensity, continuous optic blasts.

1: Wolverine
SNIKT* No surprised here but by far the most popular and one of my faves is of course the kick ass Wolverine!

Though he may have become oversaturated, Wolverine is no less one of the greatest of all X-Men. Logan is a loner by nature and a man fighting to keep his animal instincts from controlling his actions. He argues regularly with his fellow X-Men and leaves the team often to pursue his own personal agenda. Yet his support of the X-Men rarely, if ever, wavers. He may not be a team player, but Logan has the best interests of the X-Men at heart. Despite his wandering ways, Wolverine has been one of the most reliable X-Men over the years.

We all know Wolvie well by now from the many media sources that he has appeared in shape and forms over the many years so i won't go too much into him.

Powers: Healing factor, six adamantium claws capable of cutting through almost any material, heightened senses.
