#i'm mostly meh about the movie itself but by god this man is the best mercutio i've ever seen

[andromeda3116]

i mean for real look up other actors' deliveries of the queen mab monologue and then come back and tell me any of them did it better than harold perrineau

like most of them are just. saying the words like any other, or trying to spin a tale kind of randomly which i guess is fine and sort of establishes mercutio as being Out There, but they don't particularly characterize him as standing out that much

but harold perrineau delivers that speech like a man with some serious shit he needs to sort through, and strongly sets up the kind of character who would throw himself into a duel on impulse and scream a plague on both your houses! while dying senselessly

none of the others make mercutio so manic, so hectic, a candle so bright that it's burning itself out in a blaze of bitter glory

his mercutio is gregarious, living large, here for a good time not for a long time, living fast and dying young and boiling with energy and a kind of rage under the surface like he wants to burn the world down and let it take him with it

his is the most compelling and realistic mercutio i've ever seen

no other portrayal can compare

SPIDER-FIT CHECK: THE MOVIE SUITS (Part 1)

Happy Spider-Man day!! Today ill be goin through every live action Spider-Man suit ever put to film!

The Human Spider: 6/10

Ha! You thought it was gonna be the Tobey suit. No before he made the first Spider-Man suit, Peter suited up in this sweater and ski mask combo to fight Bonesaw. And its perfectly suitable, not much to talk about aside from the neat negative spider in the chest.

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: 10/10

Here we have our first interpretation of Spider-Man on the big screen and god they knocked it out of the park. The raised silver webbing is such a good look and im a fan of the angular eyes on this suit. (I'm aware that the suits used through the trilogy change with every film, but not enough to warrant seperate rankings)

Symbiote Suit: 9/10

Black suits are so cool and that remains true here. The raised webbing and angular eyes are still big highlights, but it just being a simple recolor stops it from being the same level as what it came from. Those yellow lenses are cool af tho.

Amazing Casual Suit: 5/10

Andrew's first suit is much more thrown together than the Human Spider or the upcoming Homemade suit from homecoming. And while it has its own unique charm, that mostly comes from how Andrew's Peter carries himself, rather than the suit itself.

Amazing Spider-man: 8/10

I LIKE THE BASKETBALL SUIT AND IM TIRED OF PRETENDING IT ISNT COOL. The unique materials on this suit plus the yellow eyes make it so unique and stand out from every other suit here.

Amazing Spider-man 2 Suit: 12/10

The best version of the classic suit ever put to film. The eyes? Perfect. The colors? Vibrant. The eyes? Spot on. This is what I think of when you say Spider-Man.

MCU Homemade Suit: 7/10

The best starting suit of the 3, the moving lenses, bright colors, visible bulky webshooters, and spray painted symbol are big highlights. Big Scarlet Spider energy.

Homecoming Suit: 8/10

Its so close. So close to being perfect. But im sorry some things on this suit hold me back from giving it a perfect score. I dont like the barely visible webbing on the red, and I absolutely despise the dark blue running through the cyan. But those things don't tank my enjoyment of this suit too much, the colors and moving eyes are still phenomenal.

MCU Iron Spider: 2/10

This is awful. Im sorry but taking the amazing Iron Spider from the comics and deciding to make it a washed out red and a deep cerulean blue makes me hate it. They should've just adapted the suit from the books instead of trying to mash the Sensational and Iron Spider together to a suit that doesn't meet the sum of its parts.

MCU Stealth Suit: 4/10

...Meh. I dont really have strong opinions on this? Its a little on the bulkier side, and I dont like the head straps that are only there to justify the moving eyes.
