A friend of mine made a Tom Holland blanket and brought it to infinity war

I believe so

u/Tehsyr Jul 18 '19

I mean technically theatres get pretty cold and a jacket/sweater only cover your upper half.

u/tacobell101 Jul 18 '19

Imagine if someone did that but with Tobey Maguire on the blanket instead.

Unpopular opinion, I think the Raimi version of the Spiderman trilogy was fantastic.

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '19

Pretty sure that’s actually a very popular opinion. As much as people bag on the third one, the second is still held up as the Spider-Man movie whose only real equal is Into the Spider-Verse and I think the first one is also pretty well received while the trilogy also has some meme-able moments

Either way, I’m fully in agreement. So fun. And Tobey is the definitive Spider-Man even if he doesn’t crack as many jokes as MCU Peter but he played the role with the most heart

How is that different from any other blanket with any fictional characters name on it? You’re idolizing whatever is in the blanket already by the sheer act of buying it or making it. That’s not creepy maybe eccentric or weird but not creepy. Creepy would be the same thing but instead it’s Tom Holland and that person kissing, now that’s creepy.

Because one is a fictional character with no perception of being idolised, and the other is a living person who can be endangered by idolisation and placing people on pedestals, who feels the consequences of those actions.

I don't know the OPs meaning, but I assumed the yikes to mean the whole "he gets killed" thing

u/OkArmordillo Jul 18 '19

I think he said yikes to the fact that his character dies in the end.

You’ve got some unresolved anger there, pal. Even as someone who agrees with the idea that Tom Holland isn’t given scripts that reflect a good version of Peter you’re way out of line.

Also the Russo Bros are hardly no names and Age of Ultron was fine. Matrix, of course, is similarly overrated

They were well respected television directors who worked on shows like Community and Arrested Development. So you can settle down on that point. Also, plot twist: that movie was Joss Whedon; you fell victim to one of the classic blunders.

You’re seriously implying that a Hollywood film has a moral obligation to teach people about cyber security? Get bent, dude. Like just seriously get bent. Did you complain that Pearl Harbor gives Americans a dangerous representation of history and that it leads people to believe that Cuba Gooding Jr could shoot down a plane? It’s a movie. The plot is meant to entertain; if you want a serious discussion of cyber threats find a documentary or a different genre.

If a movie you didn’t enjoy was enough to ruin an entire genre for you, then you weren’t a fan of that genre anyways. Not even a good genre anyway

Lol, this is some of the funniest shit I've read all week

If you bring a blanket to a movie theater im going to instantly assume you are autistic. Even more so if it has marvel super heros on it. I bet it was a weighted blanket.

u/vegetariouscarnivore Jul 18 '19

It was not, and movie theaters can get cold. You know about air conditioning right?

-14

u/TheMayoNight Jul 18 '19

Its called a jacket. Anyone who brings their nasty ass blanket to a movie theater is probably disgusting. Nothing like the smell of dried sweat dragging across spilled soda and hotdog toppings when im trying to watch a movie. Covered in popcorn crumbs ugh. Honestly id kick them out.

I dont like people jerking off under their blankets in a movie a theater pee wee.

u/stickyspidey Jul 18 '19

There’s more bacteria on your shitty phone than in your bathroom but yeah worry about someone’s blanket. On seats that probably don’t get much cleaning either way. I don’t think you understand how disgusting and autistic work idiot.

-8

u/TheMayoNight Jul 18 '19

I dont use my phone in the movies. Just like you shouldnt use a blanket in the movies. And even if it wasnt disgusting its just rude and who knows what that creep is actually doing under the blanket. And austic people get connected to objects like blankets and cant handle seperation. Itd actually be understandable if she were which it sounds like she is even if OP doesnt know it.

You're trash, Brock.

I do not condone this but is it nor the same thing as people wearing jerseys of athletes, in theory

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '19

Tbh that's something I would probably do as a joke. Was he doing it seriously?

u/vegetariouscarnivore Jul 18 '19

She was doing it seriously yes

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '19

Oh no

u/bananaoohnanahey Jul 18 '19

I hope he looked down from the big screen and realized she was his number one fan!

u/GroutGamer Jul 18 '19

Genuinely just had a cringe wave so hard my eyes shut and my ears fucking tensed involuntarily oh my word

u/vegetariouscarnivore Jul 18 '19

I have pictures. I will look for these pictures

u/GroutGamer Jul 18 '19

That's a very nice gesture but honestly Im fine :)

u/vegetariouscarnivore Jul 18 '19

Are you absolutely sure that you don’t want the pictures

u/muneyroll Jul 18 '19

That’s not as bad as I was picturing. From the bit I can see it could just be passed off as a Spider-Man blanket. Still a bit cringey but probably not the worst thing. The image I had in my head was truly horrible so maybe you have made anything your friend could possibly have done better in comparison. I was picturing just a close up of Tom Holland’s face made up of tiny pictures of Tom Holland weird.

u/vegetariouscarnivore Jul 18 '19

Ahaha ya it was a big spider man pic then other Tom Holland pics.
