@BearsEatBeets I'm not a huge fan of the Tom Holland ones. Didn't like the teenage/school stuff in them. And the amount of stupid decisions made by some of the characters in the last one stated to annoy me eventually.

@LN78 To me Spider-Man gets a pass with regards to casting people in their late twenties. Reason being is that you need to be fit and strong for that role. It's incredibly hard to find someone who is 18, a great actor with experience, who also has the physique for a film like this. There's a reason no Spider-Man film has ever cast someone younger.

@Kidfried Tom Holland (and his supporting cast) look the appropriate age, though. How hard can it be? And if finding actors who looked correct was a problem, why did they have to set the movies in a high school? There are tons of comics about college age (or even later) Spidey — and it would've made for a cool point of distinction with the Raimi flicks.

@nomither6 Thankfully @nessisonett has pretty much covered for the tardiness of my response.

@JohnnyShoulder that's fair, there are certainly aspects of the Tom Holland ones that don't quite work for me too. I wasn't big on Ned's character especially his sudden 'talent' in the last one. I am interested where they go with the next one though as the last film kind of wipes the slate and puts him in a more interesting place. No-one knows his identity and he seems to be without any Stark tech. Plus he will be in college era. Not sure where they are with a new Spidey film at the moment and if they are still working within the Disney MCU or if that deal has now finished.

None of them have completely nailed it for me, with the first 2 probably the best efforts.

Oh yeah and another disappointment with the
