For some reason I’ve just never liked Spider-Man. He comes off as a whiney, ignorant child that never seems to grow up or mature despite everything he goes through. I love a good coming of age story, but he just never seems to become an adult.

    Eh, people only fawn over him because RDJ is just perfect in the role, and in a way marked his comeback from some really public struggles.

    Chris Evans is great (and a huuunk!) but he’s was/is much younger and plays the role of Government-BrandedHeroWhoIsBasicallyJustSoldierWhoAteHisWheaties.

    Chris does the job well, but I mean, RDJ kills, and IMHO is a massive reason marvel got to continue making movies.

      I found that Tony’s slide to fascism following his PTSD and thinking he knew better than everyone else was a good character development in a show where he’s not the hero. What we’re missing is a 4th solo movie where he faces his fuck-ups and his selfishness, but no, he went out like a hero through sacrifice after causing it and blaming the rift on Cap (when returning from Titan).

      I also found that early Steve really needed to get a better angry face, but that evolved well between Infinity War and Endgame.
