Nah that scene was great.
"He's...just a kid. No older than my son."

I never cringe. I hate the term.
But goddamn I hated that scene. Especially when it asks me to believe this train full of people will keep his identity secret. Blech.
This is now a Sam Raimi Spider-man thread.
Back on topic, I'm actually AMAZED that we haven't seen one iota of Civil War's actual main villain:
I still liked Venom... but he should have had his own movie. Spider-man 3 is NOT a "terrible" film, but it's just stuffed full of way too much, crammed full of way too much. It can't breathe. How can it? It's got THREE villains!

Part of me is hopeful that it's just Marvel knowing that they shouldn't play all their cards and reveal too much in this movie, because the character is obviously going to be working behind the scenes a good bit.
The other part of me is worried that he's gonna have an extremely minor role and be another underdeveloped punk ass like we've gotten before. But I trust the Russos, and it would be the first time the Captain America movies have dropped the ball with the villain.
Well he did just save all their lives and almost died doing it.
Besides, it's not like anyone actually knew who he was once they saw his face. The most they can say is "He's wasn't a Spider-Man, he's a Spider-Kid!"
Peter Parker wasn't famous but phones with cameras were popular in 2004

It's really not that hard to believe that a car full of people who were scared out of their minds and about to die were more preoccupied with whether the dude who saved them was alive or not.

Thor 2 is tied with IM2 as the worst of the bunch. By far.
SM3 is better then best of those movies. SM1 AND SM2 shit all over the MCU with the exception of IM1.
Ang Lee Hulk > Incredible Hulk
That is all.

I was going to bring up phones, but someone did it for me. I remember sitting in the theater and it was the first thought that popped in my head.
"Oh, New Yorkers are so virtuous that not ONE of these assholes will take a picture of him?" Couldn't buy it.

Did 2001/2002 cell phones even have cameras?
I'll chalk the "nobody used a phone" bit to them all being in shock at the fact they all almost died a horrible, fiery death. Afterwords, they were kicking themselves.
I totally forgot about this scene, lol.

No one snapping a picture of him aside... Where the hell did that kid find his mask? They show the damn thing fly off the train and away. God I hate the Raimi Spider-Man movies.

What's the chance of the new Black Panther movie coming out in 2018 being better than Spiderman 2?
I have faith in Ryan Coogler in the movie being good, but damn I feel like I should keep my expectations in check. I don't want to be disappointed.

Well, what were they going to say?
"He was a white guy with brown hair, kinda average looking"
In 2004 camera phones weren't as prevalent as they are today.

What logic are you using here?
Spiderman was the most famous man in New York at the time. A picture of his face would make evening news
"Hey billy did you see peter from our school is spiderman?"
"yeah that's crazy"
It would be all over the news and JJ would have it all over the papers.
Can I just say that this will be Falcon's time to shine?
He had some pretty bad ass flying moments that got forgotten because he fighting against jets and cannons then got clipped as soon as he went up against Bucky, but his maneuverability and speed is top notch.
I'd love to play as Falcon in some open world video game with that set of powers.

You cringed? Really? Dude just saved their lives and they did that as a thank you. Unless you're talking about everyone seeing his face and choosing to not do anything about it. I don't know about you but I don't think I'd reveal a superhero's identity after he saved me just for some fame when it might just ruin his life.
I was cringing so hard at this scene.
I really thought it would be. Heck, at that point, I wanted it to be.
yes, but they were super potato quality
the first picture ever sent by cellphone, 1997

Have you ever taken a NYC subway?
Having not really read comics, I don't get Falcon. Why is he the only one who uses those wings? Wasn't he trained to use them in the military? In Winter Soldier, they say there's only one set of wings left, under lock and key. Why? It seems his only superpower is being really good at operating a specific set of military gear, something Cap or Hawkeye or anyone could probably learn how to operate.

It was bad, yeah. But not as bad as that scene in the first movie with all the New-Yorkers shouting "You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!". I facepalm every time I see it.

"Thor was holding back" is such BS. Straczynski is a moron and a terrible writer for introducing that idea.
Every time the Avengers straight up lost a battle in the comics, the time or two when Thor actually died and had to be brought back to life somehow, he was just "holding back"? For what? Times when the Earth was in mortal danger and Thor failed to defeat the villain threatening it, we're supposed to believe he wasn't giving it his all? What a guy!
It's just a cheap way to give a character a power boost. You can do the same thing with a much lower stupidity quotient by just giving him an upgrade. Odin gave him a mystical raven feather or something that's a +5 buff to all his stats. Boom, done. Same result, and you haven't cheapened years of continuity.
Yeah so far, but that hardly counts.
Come on, he's already looking cooler in Civil War than in Ant-Man
Yea that aside I still want to know where the hell that kid found his mask.

An entire school kept it a secret in the first one so at least it was consistent.

Also, I'm calling straight BS on the idea that the same Thor who tried to straight up murder Steve Rogers for telling him to chill out would hold back against Ultron if he could just end the fight then and there.
They you know if that scene were believable at least three people would have attempted to fondle his genitals and steal his wallet while he was passed out.
Nobody remembers when Luthor took over Flash's body in Justice League Unlimited.
"I have no idea who this is."
I bet he's better at flying than Rhodes. Also more maneuverable
Yes, it is a gif on this very same page =P
ooooooooooooo I wanna punch that guy in the face

"Hey, do you think Spider-Man might be that kid who caught an entire tray of food and then fucked up Flash Thompson like a ninja that one day?"
Or
"I wonder if there's any connection between Spider-Man and that Human Spider guy who entered that amateur wrestling match, stuck to a wall, and fucked up Bonesaw."
New York ain't no squealers.

Hyperbole much?
Easily. Once Falcon is in the air, he's supposed to be untouchable in the MCU.
I don't get it
