I never thought I'd say this, but I think I'll actually start to miss Tobey Maguire! :D

Tobey is the OG spiderman to me since I was in high school and college when they came out, but I'm cool with all three. I recall a recent anecdote that Tobey is the best Peter Parker, Garfield is the best Spiderman, and Holland is the best mix. Looking forward to watching this with you. Or really the former you from when you were recording this. But am still looking forward to it.

... I was today days old when I realized that the annoying Maître d' in the restaurant was played by the same guy who played the annoying usher in Spider-man 1.

Usher was in Spider-Man 2. In Spider-Man 1 he played the wrestling MC. It's Bruce Campbell, star of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead movies.

The girl who plays Flint's daughter also played The Bride's daughter in Kill Bill Vol. 2.

Did anyone else shiver when Mary decided to tap her nails on her teeth or was it just me? Like please don’t 😂

people were itching to see Venom in live action back then and he was kinda forced into this movie. from sm1 we were all waiting to see it, then it came out and it was a a bit of a let down, this actor kinda stunk up the joint. but to be fair Willem Dafoe and Alfred Molina set the bar pretty high. it was kinda fun watching you roast this movie. you crack me up. it might be fun to watch some shitty movies sometimes :)

Tyler Foster

The reason this movie is overstuffed is because Sam Raimi was forced to use Venom. The character was hugely popular with fans from both the comic books and an animated series, but Raimi grew up on the classic comics before Venom was created, and wasn't really interested. However, the studio insisted because they wanted to please those Venom fans, so the character was worked in on top of the existing story they were doing involving just Sandman and Hobgoblin (which is the name for Harry, versus Green Goblin for Norman). The two things I would say about the Venom movies is that they are much different from this interpretation of Venom, even if they share details in common. I would also say again that the two Venom movies are the least-essential for your Spider-Man journey. They do *technically* come first, but you could easily get the full core NWH experience just watching the two Andrew Garfield movies next.

You are very correct in all you say. This movie is too overstuffed due to studio dictates. It wasn't Raimi's idea to have Venom in this movie. He was the most popular Spider-Man "adversary" at the time, even though Raimi had done Spider-Man's all time greatest villian, Doc Ock, to perfection in the previous movie. Would be fun to have you watch the Venom movie, but not necessary at all to see the second Venom movie. Would trade that watch for a watch of Daredevil's premiere episode of his series now on Disney+. It is not only a superhero origin story, but a cool legal procedural TV episode. Would you like to see a lawyer superhero? Interesting, huh? Why do you have to watch all these (5) Spider-Man movies and this other stuff? Trust us! It will all make sense after you see No Way Home. But as Tyler said, it is not necessary, but would be some extra fun for you. Hope I am not confusing you. The next two Garfildl movies, watch them please! Some Venom stuff and Daredevil stuff would be fun for you but not absolutely necessary, just extra fun.

Since I don't see anybody commenting, I'm assuming this is Theatrical, not the 2017 Editor's Cut?

Thank you for helping me remember why I hated this movie. The jazz club scene and the crap immediately preceding it.

John Smallberry

The Venom movies seem like very unnecessary viewing to me. Especially based on your reaction to this one. Just my two cents. You’re being a good sport going through all these old spider man movies already.

Thomas Yanez

The Venom in the stand-alone films is a completely unrelated adaptation, and is presented in a sufficiently different way (especially the comedic element), that I don't think it is fair to anticipate her reaction to them based on her reaction to Venom in "Spider-Man 3". Also, she specifically mentioned being confused about Venom's role as a character. The stand-alone films align much better with the expectation she had going into "Spider-Man 3".

Mike LL

I don't think it is a great idea to give a Pareon creator really any such detailed information about movies they haven't seen yet, much less YouTube videos about it.

Tyler Foster

The YouTube video is an interview with Topher Grace telling a Venom-related story, which does not go into anything about the Tom Hardy Venom movies (despite the video title), so it's basically about this movie. At worst, it suggests some details about the original comic book character of Venom, which neither Spider-Man 3 or the Venom movies really reflect. Only note is that the link Eric posted has "&t=305" appended to the end of it so it actually starts after the Venom stuff because it starts 305 seconds in.
