So I rewatched Spider-Man 2 tonight
I still really like it! Though I don't remember Toby Maguire making me think quite this much of a concussed baby deer the last time around.
- "I accidentally fused myself with evil sentient octopus arms" is still one of the most hilarious villain origin stories I have ever seen.
- And yet somehow he manages to be incredibly sympathetic and tragic for all of that. Also still hot.
- I cannot believe the arms are not CGI but were actually built for the movie. They're incredible.
- I also really love how much of a presence the ordinary people in the city have. There are a bunch of very human little moments with various regular people, and also a recurring theme of people doing their best to save themselves. One of my favorite things along those lines was Spider-Man trying to rescue a toddler (like 2 or 3) from a fire, and when he falls through the fire-weakened floor and tosses her up to safety, she tries to help him back up with her tiny little haaaaands. ;____; MY HEART.
I don't anticipate being stolen away from my Falcon & Winter Soldier happy place by any future Spider-Man developments, but we shall see.

I love the arms. I loved Doc Ock, and I was blown away that he will be in the new one! I wasn't going to see the new one, really, but then I saw the trailer, and, well, shoot. . . . Best SM movie villain ever.
* I have turned to Brilliant Husband and done "Let's adopt!" in the Mrs. Potato Head voice from Toy Story in reference to him, I'm pretty sure. (In reference to Elijah Wood repeatedly, ok?)
