Fun fact: in the comics, Spider-Man once got hospitalized. The doctors left his mask on out of respect for him and didn’t pry. They also told him he had visitors. All of New York City showed up to the hospital to thank him and pay their respects for looking after them.
Sam Raimi's experience shooting horror films shows during the operation scene when the robotic arms kill the doctors. It's one of the scariest sequences in a superhero film ever.
6:52 "You need it more than I do." "Nah- I can't take tha-" *"Yes you can!* For god's sake it's not much now take it!" This hits.. especially hard for me. My grandmother passed away around one or two years ago. And... she did this with me all the time. While sick, struggling with cancer, she put my own economic needs ahead of hers. And she would never let me refuse her. This movie is very personal to me, it's part of my childhood and it has extremely human characters. I've always felt for Toby's Peter and his extended family of characters always felt like people I knew.
You talking about your dad and getting nostalgic and emotional is EXACTLY what I hope for when I see people watch this movie for the first time. This trilogy makes me so nostalgic and puts me back in time, I always think about my mom because she’d watch these movies with me over and over.
Me and my mother were fans of these Spider Man films. Spider Mania in the early 2000s was pandemonium. It was such an era. I was there to witness the popularity of Spider Man. 🕷️🦸♂️
Big shoutout to feeling nostalgia and warmth from "poor food" instead of shame. I aspire to be a parent like your dad.... my kids are 6 and 9, and I feel every word you said.
What I love about this movie is that the worst possible things were happening to Peter but it is also the movie where he is at his most badass. He truly outdid himself more than ever and came out better than ever.
That speech about your dad was very heartwarming: my mother is disabled, so she has always been quite poor, but she will literally give until shes into the ground. I'm at university, and literally ate porridge with water for dinner for a week straight: only drinking water too. My mum literally gave me her last bit of money that put her behind on bills and I cried.
Thank you for sharing about your dad, that was really special. Just goes to show Aunt May was right. You don't need powers, or a suit. ANYONE can be a hero, they just have to offer a helping hand to someone in need.
I’m very sorry about your dad, we share the same type of agony, may he rest in peace! Also what a genius idea to put the last of us part 2 music in the background,well thought
Also, I love Spider-man as a superhero because his power level is great for having him be powerful (or super, if you will) but without having to go through absurd lengths to create a threat that can oppose him. He's strong, but his strength has limits. He can get hurt, tired, he can bleed, and it makes him so much more beliveable as a hero you can root for.
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. He seems like such a great person. My father also passed away a couple years ago. My father did something similar to how your father got your camera. Before my father passed, he got me for Christmas a comic book signed by Chris Evans, Anthony Mackie, and Sebastian Stan. And now I continue to collect in memory of him
So in the comics, the goblin goes from a personality from the serum to an evil spirit. It can manifest through insanity. Harry had went full crazy after finding out Peter was Spider-Man, so the goblin came to him in the form of his father.
Both: for as much as they could, they used the puppet arms. But they did use CGI for them when something was too complicated or had to happen too quickly to do with the puppet arms.
this is my favorite movie of all time, been watching it for as long as I can remember. In recent years I've transitioned from having fun watching the action scenes to absolutely falling in love with the story. Lately I can't watch it without crying at least once, depending on my mood I'll sometimes find myself crying multiple times throughout the whole movie. The story resonates with me so much in so many ways and means more to me than I could ever express. Im so glad to see people discovering how incredible this movie is!
Just so we are keeping track of how toxic Mary Jane is; At this point in the story, she has broken up with her high school boyfriend on graduation day. Made out with Spider-Man and flirted with Peter, while dating Harry. Tried to start a relationship with Peter at Norman's funeral. And in this movie, she tries to kiss Peter, while engaged, and leaves her fiance at the altar.
As ever, Tor, this was a delight to view and a joy to behold. From the always on point editing to your usual sweet, charming, funny, and thoughtful commentary, this was - no surprise - well worth the wait. I've said it before but these videos are genuinely among my absolute favourite content on all of RUclips. In fact, aside from your gameplay videos, I'm not sure there's anything on this site I look forward to as much as I do your movie reactions. You know, "Peter's just struggling on, like, every level in his life right now," might be the most evergreen statement one can make about Peter Parker. Sometimes it's not as bad as here, sometimes it's way worse than this, but in both the comics and adaptations, it often feels like he exists wholly to suffer. It can definitely help to humanize him in the face of his powers, but the comics especially can definitely over do it at times. Sometimes you just wanna see a character you like get to be happy, you know? Even if Marvel editorial often seems dead set against any such experiences for Peter. As for this movie specifically, though, aside from the continued presence of James Franco, there's not a lot I can complain about. I also saw this one in theatres, and while the first will always be important for being the starting point, this one was definitely my favourite at the time. Truth be told, this was probably my favourite superhero movie in general pre-MCU. The returning cast is still great and feel completely at home in their roles, and Alfred Molina as Octavius was such a tremendous addition. Far more than Norman was, Otto is such a tragic character here. He's a good person genuinely trying to make the world a better place, and his life and all his efforts just go up in smoke in the blink of an eye. And Molina does such good job of conveying that sense of hope punctuated by tragedy. You really feel how his situation could just break a man, even without the influence of the arms' AI. I think the biggest strength of these two films is the willingness of both the writing and the cast to take things seriously. At a time where superhero movies often felt like they had to either poke fun at themselves or drain themselves of colour and fun, these movies said, "What if we let Spider-Man wear a colourful, comic-accurate costume *AND* take himself, his emotions, and the danger he and his love ones end up in seriously?" As someone who grew up on the very sincere and earnest Marvel and DC animated shows of the '90s, these two films very much hit a sweet spot for me in that regard that stuff like the Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Nolan Batman films never came near. In my comment for your Spider-Man (2002) reaction I mentioned there was a scene in this one that was, "visually one of the most Sam Raimi scenes in any of his Post-Evil Dead films". That, as you could probably guess now, was the (would be) surgery scene. The camera angles, the editing, the screams, the people being dragged into the darkness while their fingernails leave trails in the floor - it's all very Evil Dead - and especially Evil Dead 2 - coded. It was both weird and cool, incidentally, watching Raimi go from Evil Dead to Spider-Man. I assume it was similar to what other people felt watching Peter Jackson go from films like Meet the Feebles and Dead Alive/Braindead to Lord of the Rings. I didn't know about Jackson's earlier work myself until post-LotR, but it's definitely a similar jump in tone and genre. One last thing, both in private or here and on social media, I'm never sure how best to handle talking about your dad. My experiences with both parents and losing them was... *very* different from what you experienced with your dad, and I always kind of worry about putting too much focus on such a sensitive topic at the wrong time. But I am sure about this, Tor: I love listening to you talk about your dad. It might make my eyes get a touch (or a lot) watery - especially if you get teary-eyed yourself - but it always and without fail warms my heart to hear the love in your voice when you speak of him and to get those little peeks into the beautiful relationship you two shared. My heart forever goes out to you over your loss, Tor, but I'm so glad you got to have the time with him that you did. I can't imagine he'd have traded that time for literally anything in the entire world. Like I said at the start, this was video was a delight. You are as always fun, insightful, and engaging to watch and listen to, and of course you look absolutely amazing - you know full well what I think of that beautiful natural hair of yours and how lovely that qipao looks on you. I'm very excited to eventually see you revisit No Way Home now that you actually know the Raimi versions of Norman and Otto. Then there's Spider-Man 3... well, suffice to say I have *a lot* of thoughts on that one, and I do look forward to hearing what you think of it yourself. Thank you for this lovely, lovely video, Tor. Whatever movie or game it ends up being, I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next time.
I'm glad you did another Spiderman movie reaction from this trilogy. This was everyone's favorite, including mines as well. Its always good to see you back, and its always a pleasure to see your reactions to the movies. Keep up the good work and do what you do best!
Willem Dafoe was never supposed to be in this movie. He just happened to walk by filming crew and Sam Raimi decided to have Willem Dafoe do his little part in the movie
PIZZA TIME! First off: excellent thumbnail image choice. You nailed it. Second off: excellent outfit choice. Big fan. Third off: YOU HAVE NATURAL HAIR? My mind is blown. Glad you got around to watching yet another one of my childhood favorites. In a world where comic book films have started to become a little paint by numbers, its refreshing to see a movie like this that has such a unique style, thanks to Raimi, and his horror background. I love those elements. I love the fights. Today those fights would have been much larger and crazier but I appreciate how scaled back but still impactful these ones are. Also, anytime I hear Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head I instantly think of this movie. Every time. This was a fun video, as usual, but the insert shot of you falling in Insomniacs Spider-Man 2 was *chefs kiss*. Great inclusion lol. I also really loved that you were so dedicated to the bit that you actually closed out of the movie. You easily could have faked it but no, you really did it. 12:24 this is the most relatable thing you've ever said and it doesn't come close 24:20 No. Stop it. Bad Tori. Great video as always. Looking forward to seeing you watch Spider-Man 3, and more of that Spider-Man 2 playthrough!
The real question I have always asked myself is why Peter choosed to bring Norman Osborn's body home, knowing that given the importance of this man it is a place that is guarded, maybe monitored with cameras, when he could have just made sure to separate it from the Green Goblin costume and put Norman's body somewhere visible, or even make it look like he was killed by the Green Goblin (since the Green Goblin Green killed the members of the Osborn Society Council, it would have been logical for him to go after Norman). So like this, no worries and everything resolves itself, without taking any unnecessary risks. OR even, let's be crazy, he brings back Norman's body as he does, but he disarms Harry at the end of 1 to EXPLAIN to him that during his fight with the Green Goblin, Norman was present but that he didn't unfortunately not able to save him but that he was able to get rid of the Green Goblin. By showing him and proving that in any case Norman's fatal wound really came from the front of the glider. (even if it's something that Harry should have seen... or at worst the doctors who took care of the body and had to tell him, but despite that he thinks in a totally stupid way that Spiderman would have killed him, and then come and drop off his body at his house, which is totally stupid! For a guy who is supposed to be quite intelligent, that really pissed me off...) In my opinion, they should have done something different if they really wanted Harry to be angry with Spiderman, because nothing is going well like this and i don't like to see Harry et Peter argue for something so stupid... it's a shame, but hey, that's the only fault of this trilogy!
5:22 Betty was actually Peters first girlfriend in the comics. Classic high schooled romance, dated for a while after Peter became a photographer at the Bugle but they later broke up but remained close friends. They met earlier in the comics, For the film they decided to have Peter get bit at 17 instead of 15 like the comics. And MJ was already a love interest in these films but I guess they hint a little at Betty and Peter flirting in this film. Peter's first serious relationship wasn't until he started College and met Gwen Stacy who is often regarded as his first real relationship. Then MJ was introduced but they kept her face hidden from the audience until a few years when we the reader met MJ for the first time along with Peter. Pretty crazy looking back that MJ, Harry, Norman, and Gwen were not introduced until Peter started College a few years after his origin comics.
Great reaction, Tofu. I can't even count how many times you had me laughing during that. And you don't ever have to apologize for going off on tangents, least of all about your dad. He sounds like a really good guy. Besides, your tangents and all the rest of your commentary's always entertaining. The qipao and red hair combo looks great on you too. Looking forward to the next video
Another insta-watch, right when I needed a good video too. There's just so much humanity in these films, even if it's cringe-inducing or awkward. But life is awkward and messy like that. Aunt May, Octavius and his wife, absolutely love just seeing them act like humans. And of course, your stories always add so much to the reaction, we stan tangents here on this channel :')
You’re so authentic. I love it, and if there’s ever any doubts as a human being I think I can say we all love you. You’re not alone, and never on your own. I’ve dealt with being broke, and in fact was homeless part of my life.
19:05 Yes, he absolutely did!!! His very first feature-length film was the iconic “Evil Dead” from 1982 which spawned two sequels (both of them directed and co-written by Sam), a three-season TV series, and two remakes!!
this version of spider-man has organic webs in his body, so depending on his physical and mental health it will affect his powers. He never lost them they were just dormant due to mental block but was always there.
Thanks for sharing those stories about your dad. For those of us with Dads like yours, it meant something, so thanks, and can't wait to see whatever's next!
My condolences to you & it's lovely how you remember your Dad. I lost my mother late in Nov to heart disease & nothing prepares you for loosing a parent, I'm still very numb to it all. Bang, heart attack & now she's sadly gone. I know it will get easier with time
fun fact: whenver Otto is in charge of the arms, the "eyeballs" of the arms are white, but whenever the arms are in control, they turn red. And if someone were to hack into the system, then they would turn blue. (You can see them white at 39:36)
Why doesn't Peter just tell MJ that he was in accident when he missed her show, he was fine, but his bike was messed up and he didn't make it to the theater until after the show started? He literally has the broken bike to show her, so it's not like he's even lying to her.
He literally tried telling her that during the phone call and apparently she wasn’t available enough to show her evidence since she was preoccupied with another man
Great reaction Tofu. Your commentary is always so much fun! I like this even better than the first one, honestly. Also, I lost my dad a few years ago, so your memories about your dad hit home for me. Very much appreciate you sharing those memories with us.
Hey Tori. ☺️ I just want to say that I love your videos. I also lost my dad suddenly 2 years ago now. I was the one who found him. And I lost my mum 5 years ago too. So it's been really difficult. Idk I just wanted to say that you don't need to apologise for that tangent. It was really sweet of you to think of your dad. And actually allowed me to cry a little bit too. It felt like I had this connection and we were grieving and telling stories together for a little while. I have a hard time accepting what's happened and crying doesn't come as easy- I think because to do so would be accepting what's happened and I don't want to. But I found your heartfelt emotions and compassion and willingness to be vulnerable there to really be amazing and help me too. It allowed me a moment to grieve and think about how my dad would get me little treats and chocolate bars and things, just because. Just to do something nice for me. Idk I'm rambling 😂😅I guess I just appreciate that moment as it was nice to feel like someone gets it and it allowed me a moment to actually cry a bit. Which I think I needed. Thanks. Anyway I hope you're doing well. Grief is a difficult thing and I hope we both can learn to live with it. Best wishes.
Childhood movie right here... It feels a bit strange to me that this movie is basically *20* *years* *old* now... This film legitimately has some of the absolute best and most heartfelt and memorable moments in the ever expanding genre of superhero movies... From Peter Parker trying to deliver pizzas as Spider-Man, to the entirely original Mr. Ditkovitch landlord character (who wasn't even in the original comics...) who's constantly asking for his rent, to the horror hospital scene with Dr. Otto Octavius and his robotic octopus arms, to the entire bank fight scene between Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus, to the references to the "Spider-Man: No More" storyline directly from the comics, to the "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" scene, to Peter Parker saving a little girl from a burning building without his powers, to the small sweet scene where Ursula offers Peter a piece of chocolate cake, to Aunt May's motivational speech scene where she talks about how everybody loves a hero, to the hilarious scene where Peter tries to get his powers back but he just ends up breaking his back, to the scene where Peter *does* finally get his powers back and he's fully back in action again as Spider-Man => 34:27, to the entire train fight sequence between Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus, to this little moment right here => 35:23, to Spider-Man stopping the runaway train before it plunges into the New York Harbor and the train passengers helping him out and promising to keep his identity a secret right afterwards, and all the way up to the final swing that ends the movie => 42:15. Just... *so* *much* to remember about this *iconic* movie... This movie definitely has a *lot* of my favorite moments in a superhero movie and it definitely holds a special nostalgic place in my heart along with the Spider-Man 2 movie tie-in video game on playstation 2 that released the day before this movie came out. I *really* enjoyed this reaction commentary Tofu and I'm *so* glad you were entertained and enjoyed the movie too.
Spider-Man 2: 2 Spider 2 Man :Ρ Been looking forward to this, and as always babe, you delivered. The qipao looks cute, and with the red hair out, the MJ vibes are in full _swing_ for this video. 😎 ...anyway lol Props to the editor for the appreciative qipao whistle Loved you being seconds ahead of the Spider-Pizza delivery. Didn't love you having a moment over James Franco, but we can move right along. lol Don't you dare apologize, that was a very sweet tangent. Your dad always sounds like the best guy. You definitely get your generous heart from him. I'm so glad you have all those nice memories together. ❤️ Everytime you cracked up at Peter, it got me too 😂 Otto and his wife are very cute. The fucking usher at the play, not so much. I'm sure somebody's brought it up already, but that's Bruce Campbell, and he's in every one of these movies in some bit role. Perks of being old friends with Raimi. lol Sorry, babe, we can't claim Raimi-verse MJ as one of ours 😭 You're 100% right, Raimi got his start in horror, and the arm scene is a whole throwback to his slashery comfort zone The jumpscare was so good, and the fakeout outro was _perfect_ 😂 You just know those puppeteers were having a great time with Ock's arms *claw pinchies* lol The train battle is so dope, even all these years later. And same, the moments where you see how much Spider-Man means to people are some of my favorite. Not you calling Raimi on his kinks in the middle of this big climactic moment... 😂 Right there with you about Otto, and Alfred Molina's fantastic performance. Top-tier stuff. Another great one, Tofu. Funny as always, and you never fail to elevate the experience with how much of yourself you bring to these. Even when it hurts and my eyes are swimming and I just wanna give you a hug. 🫂 I would _love_ to watch a Spider-Man 3 reaction whenever you get a chance. I could definitely see that being a good time. Can't wait for whatever you put out next. ❤️
Fun fact from the official Spider-Man 2 graphic novel: during the scene where Doc Oc fights Peter on top of the building he kept losing consciousness but the arms kept waking him up. Remember, Otto is just an average man while Peter is super-human. Same goes for the train scene. Peter was hitting Otto so hard that even the arms began to feel pain which is why they decided to sabotage the train so they could get away. Peter's Spider-man was a straight menace!
I love that you brought up the ladies and their FANTASTIC screams. That’s actually very common in Sam Raimi movies. He is a sucker for a great scream. It’s one of the small details that make this movie fantastic :)
I've been actually going back to watch your gaming play-throughs recently. So when this popped up, I was like, 'Hell yeah!' Love your content! Also, don't ever feel like you need to apologize for stopping and talking about your dad. For me personally, it's very touching to hear you speak about him. I lost my dad when I was 19, about 8 years ago, from suicide, and the pain sometimes is so fresh it feels like it just happened. It will get better though. Also, not sure if you were joking about the autism thing, but for someone like me with high-functioning autism, I'm always on the lookout for people who are similar. Anyway, gonna go back to your Tales from the Borderlands play-through. Will be back for the next movie review! Thanks again for everything you do 🤗
Interesting fact. Tobey actually hurt his back filming the rooftop scene. I'm pretty sure because of it they were thinking of recasting Tobey or holding off on filming
That story you told about your Dad is so touching. I'm sorry for your loss. This is still my favourite Spider-man movie. A big part of it is Dr. Octopus who was brilliantly portrayed in the acting and action sequences. That entire train sequence is iconic.
"What's with these horror movie screams?" Sam Raimi got his start directing the Evil Dead trilogy of horror movies. That's where his filmmaking sensibilities come from. The scene where Doc Ock's tentacles come alive and go on a rampage in the operating room is vintage Raimi.
2:42 The artwork for the intro was done by comic book writer and artist Alex Ross. His artwork is amazing, has this very timeless look and fill combined with a very realistic depiction of these characters, as close as one can get to live action in comic book or graphic novel form. So here's a little list of some amazing works I recommend looking into. Kingdom Come - Amazing Graphic Novel with stunning Artwork. Marvels - Showcases the Marvel Universe from the POV of the Public. Batman: War on Crime - A great look at Batman in this style. Justice League World’s Greatest Heroes - Great look at the Justice League.
I don’t think I watched a video where you laughed so much. Seeing you laugh always made me laugh 🤭. Plus your outfit is 🔥 as always. Can’t wait to see your Spider Man 3 reaction!
Marvel Movie you need to watch: Elektra (2005) Jennifer Garner Venom (2018) Tom Hardy Hulk (2003) Eric Banner The Incredible Hulk (2008) Edward Norton Logan (2017) Hugh Jackman
19:05 Raimi did do horror movies before, not only that but after the success of the first spider man movie a lot of the die hard horror movie fans complained and said Raimi sold out and went mainstream so he did that hospital scene to let the fans know he still got it
Thank you for sharing your beautiful feelings and emotions... I'm HERE after hearing and seeing you THIRST for Willem Defoe on all fours (nice to see someone is still alive on planet EARTH... and then I let RUclips just run on to the next video. Hence me being here. PS Great EYES. never change. Your father would be so proud. He created you. He must have been a DIAMOND. Take care now. I'll pop back now and then to see a lovely human SMILING... LIVING... GIVING.... and not being affraid to CRY and share one's stories and feelings felt in LIFE. You are helping OTHERS feel. Thank you.
The story is that Willem Dafoe just walked up to the set one day during the filming of SM2 and they decided that since he's already there, they'll just put him in the movie 😂
"you killed my father!" "What? What makes you think that?" "You brought his body back to his family and respectfully laid it with honor" ..."yeah so...same question."
I lost my dad about 7 years ago. Both of my parents were the same way in that they always made sure I had what I needed and sacrificed for it. Life has a way of teaching you lessons and missing the people that treated us well when they're gone. I like to think that my dad is in a better place where he doesn't have to struggle any more. I hope your dad is there with him too.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how good Tofu looks in this video. As someone who lost their mom last year I understand how much it means to feel a connection with a lost parent.
I appreciated your brief interlude about your father. I miss my own father a great deal too and I like telling people about him. Similar stories of what a great guy he was. Sharing something from your heart like that should never be apologized for. In a way it's very appropriate for a Spider-man reaction because Peter's "father" was such a wonderful influence on him.
This reaction was so much to watch for me, seeing you remember your father reminded me of my mixed Asian friend when she described her father in a similar way. She has such a good heart, and it was disheartening to see how much that’s hurt you both.
finally got the time so let’s do this 2:06 this a great start 😬 7:07 it’s funny that you inadvertently spoiled this moment for me the other day. you talked about crying at it and in my head I was like, ‘haven’t seen that video yet!’ 7:31 trust me when I say you take after him that way. you are so incredibly generous. you don’t hesitate to offer to help your friends and it’s kind of a humbling experience to have someone always ready to help in whatever way they can. your dad sounds like he was a kind, loving man and his daughter turned out just the same 9:30 don’t ever apologize for your tangents. those are little glimpses into who you are and if someone doesn’t want to hear them then they’re missing out on knowing an amazing human 10:58 the PTSD i just got 11:19 gonna screenshot this real quick 21:19 sometimes men have performance issues 23:35 didn’t let me down. knew you’d recognize him 24:26 if it’s so sad, what’s with the grin? 24:34 …..no, I don’t think you are 28:31 love a dramatic moment followed by your gusher struggles 31:35 that’s how I walk when I wake up in the morning 36:59 the change-up 😂 38:11 maybe you just have a dirty mind? 40:11 you’re stupid and adorable 42:10 all that complaining about them not kissing and then your gonna talk about the LIGHTING during the actual kiss? you are unique 43:45 I think that’s exclusive to the game. it’s mostly just a lab accident with the arms this was so much fun. Spider-Man 2 really is one the best superhero movies of all time. can’t wait to keep the Spidey journey going with you
38:46 the reason the magnetic pull doesn't work on the metal arms is the same reason they were created - he needed some non-magnetic metal arms to reach into the reaction field where human hands couldn't reach. Also Mary Jane was pinned under a large piece of rubble and couldn't move when Peter was over her.
This is the best Spider-man film of all time in my opinion. Spider-man has always been unique in that he's an every man. He struggles to pay his bills, he's unlucky in love, when he's out of the suit he's awkward and lacking in social skills - but despite all this, or perhaps even because of it, he's a hero. He sacrifices his own wants and needs in order to keep being a hero and to keep doing the right thing. Raimi understood that in such a pure way and really put it front and centre here. The only thing that comes close to this perfect understanding of what makes Spider-man Spider-man is the first PS4 game. The Raimi films have that core of who the character is down pat and a pure sense of humanity that I don't think any other Spider-man media has been able to capture.
I love this movie. The struggle between everyday life and superhero responsibilities takes a toll on a guy like Peter who wants to make everyone happy.
16:53 Fusion is a nuclear reaction in which atoms of a form of hydrogen called deuterium (one proton, one neutron, and one electron) combine to form helium atoms (two protons, two neutrons, two electrons), releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. Nuclear fusion happens in a sustained reaction in the center of all stars, but is incredibly difficult to do here on earth. In fact, there has never been a sustained manmade nuclear fusion reaction. All fusion reactions we have managed to initiate were very brief, either in the form of thermonuclear weapons tests or brief reactions within experimental reactors.
Off topic to the movie here but your story reminded me of my struggles in life. There was a time when I could barely afford to feed myself and my parents were always there to help even when I knew they didn’t have much either.
"Is she flirting with us or just being nice?" Sometimes I can't tell." We all felt that comment.
😔
Yup
Well come to the male psyche 👏👏👏
Super relatable !! It was fresh hearing it from the perspective of a girl though :D
That aptly describes the first 30 years of my life.
It is such an honor getting to hear you talk about your dad. You are sharing something unimaginably valuable with us.
Thank you for letting me share 🥹

Fun fact: in the comics, Spider-Man once got hospitalized. The doctors left his mask on out of respect for him and didn’t pry. They also told him he had visitors.
All of New York City showed up to the hospital to thank him and pay their respects for looking after them.
Sam Raimi's experience shooting horror films shows during the operation scene when the robotic arms kill the doctors. It's one of the scariest sequences in a superhero film ever.
I was watching that as a kid and got traumatised for like 3 years 😂
Sam Raimi directed Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness, which is said to be a horror film.
There's a deleted scene where Jameson was in the Spider-Man suit pretending shooting webs in his office 😂😂😂
That wasn't deleted,I saw the film in it's entirety, and It was there

This hits.. especially hard for me. My grandmother passed away around one or two years ago. And... she did this with me all the time. While sick, struggling with cancer, she put my own economic needs ahead of hers. And she would never let me refuse her.
This movie is very personal to me, it's part of my childhood and it has extremely human characters. I've always felt for Toby's Peter and his extended family of characters always felt like people I knew.

she was just being nice btw.

Fun Fact. During the Train Fight and final fight, every punch Toby threw kept knocking out Doc Ock, but the Arms kept waking Otto up after each punch
Wait what!? Is that canonically confirmed or is it a theory?
Cause I've always asked myself how doc ock didn't get knocked out from spidey punches
@@STierJimmyin the novelization for Spider-Man 2 it mentions how Doc Ock was struggling to stay conscious while fighting Peter
@@mastere7048 dude that is brutal. Poor dude.
Tony was NOT holding back in these movies 😅
You talking about your dad and getting nostalgic and emotional is EXACTLY what I hope for when I see people watch this movie for the first time.
This trilogy makes me so nostalgic and puts me back in time, I always think about my mom because she’d watch these movies with me over and over.
Me and my mother were fans of these Spider Man films. Spider Mania in the early 2000s was pandemonium. It was such an era. I was there to witness the popularity of Spider Man. 🕷️🦸♂️
Big shoutout to feeling nostalgia and warmth from "poor food" instead of shame. I aspire to be a parent like your dad.... my kids are 6 and 9, and I feel every word you said.
“Wait is she flirting with us or just being nice?” Story of my life
What I love about this movie is that the worst possible things were happening to Peter but it is also the movie where he is at his most badass. He truly outdid himself more than ever and came out better than ever.
That speech about your dad was very heartwarming: my mother is disabled, so she has always been quite poor, but she will literally give until shes into the ground.
I'm at university, and literally ate porridge with water for dinner for a week straight: only drinking water too. My mum literally gave me her last bit of money that put her behind on bills and I cried.
Your mother is an angel and I'm sending the two of you so much good energy and love right now 🩷

Thanks comrade: hope you have a lovely day yourself 🙏
6:50 Rosemary Harris really nailed working-class anxieties, especially in the lead up to the Great Recession just 4 years after this movie came out.
This was MY movie when I was a kid. Every shot, every line of dialogue, every musical flourish is etched into my brain. What a masterpiece.
@BloodyMunchkin You've seen Spider Man 2 many, many, many times?
@@moisepicard195 ... yes?
Some of the dialogue didn’t age well. Some of it comes out as cringey nowadays tbh
@@Troublesome_96 Maybe some lines here and there, I'm sure. But I don't think overall the writing has aged bad at all.
Thank you for sharing about your dad, that was really special. Just goes to show Aunt May was right. You don't need powers, or a suit. ANYONE can be a hero, they just have to offer a helping hand to someone in need.
I’m very sorry about your dad, we share the same type of agony, may he rest in peace! Also what a genius idea to put the last of us part 2 music in the background,well thought
Thank you :) and yeah, the TLOU2 score hits a little bit differently now...
@@QueenTofuspider man 3 🙏
Its called trauma dumping..
@@QueenTofu I am so sorry about your dad. May he rest in peace.
@@QueenTofu I am so sorry about your dad. but he rest in peace.😥
Also, I love Spider-man as a superhero because his power level is great for having him be powerful (or super, if you will) but without having to go through absurd lengths to create a threat that can oppose him. He's strong, but his strength has limits. He can get hurt, tired, he can bleed, and it makes him so much more beliveable as a hero you can root for.
(or spider, if you will)
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. He seems like such a great person. My father also passed away a couple years ago. My father did something similar to how your father got your camera. Before my father passed, he got me for Christmas a comic book signed by Chris Evans, Anthony Mackie, and Sebastian Stan. And now I continue to collect in memory of him
So in the comics, the goblin goes from a personality from the serum to an evil spirit. It can manifest through insanity. Harry had went full crazy after finding out Peter was Spider-Man, so the goblin came to him in the form of his father.
Yeah cause he was a fuckin junkie
If I remember correctly, the mechanical arms were not CGI, they were practical.
Yea, puppet hands.
Which is *awesome* !
Both: for as much as they could, they used the puppet arms. But they did use CGI for them when something was too complicated or had to happen too quickly to do with the puppet arms.
this is my favorite movie of all time, been watching it for as long as I can remember. In recent years I've transitioned from having fun watching the action scenes to absolutely falling in love with the story. Lately I can't watch it without crying at least once, depending on my mood I'll sometimes find myself crying multiple times throughout the whole movie. The story resonates with me so much in so many ways and means more to me than I could ever express. Im so glad to see people discovering how incredible this movie is!
Can’t think of a better way to embrace a romantic moment in the movie than to go for a critical analysis of the lighting
"I have nothing else, except Spider-Man"
I quote this anytime I have a problem.
it feels so Soap Opera-y, maybe why Franco did soaps for a bit. Imma start quoting this now
Just so we are keeping track of how toxic Mary Jane is; At this point in the story, she has broken up with her high school boyfriend on graduation day. Made out with Spider-Man and flirted with Peter, while dating Harry. Tried to start a relationship with Peter at Norman's funeral. And in this movie, she tries to kiss Peter, while engaged, and leaves her fiance at the altar.
😂😂😂 so true
Mary Jane the Chernobil Woman
not me crying when you were talking about your dad...... i'm seriously so so sorry for your loss
As ever, Tor, this was a delight to view and a joy to behold. From the always on point editing to your usual sweet, charming, funny, and thoughtful commentary, this was - no surprise - well worth the wait. I've said it before but these videos are genuinely among my absolute favourite content on all of RUclips. In fact, aside from your gameplay videos, I'm not sure there's anything on this site I look forward to as much as I do your movie reactions.
You know, "Peter's just struggling on, like, every level in his life right now," might be the most evergreen statement one can make about Peter Parker. Sometimes it's not as bad as here, sometimes it's way worse than this, but in both the comics and adaptations, it often feels like he exists wholly to suffer. It can definitely help to humanize him in the face of his powers, but the comics especially can definitely over do it at times. Sometimes you just wanna see a character you like get to be happy, you know? Even if Marvel editorial often seems dead set against any such experiences for Peter.
As for this movie specifically, though, aside from the continued presence of James Franco, there's not a lot I can complain about. I also saw this one in theatres, and while the first will always be important for being the starting point, this one was definitely my favourite at the time. Truth be told, this was probably my favourite superhero movie in general pre-MCU. The returning cast is still great and feel completely at home in their roles, and Alfred Molina as Octavius was such a tremendous addition. Far more than Norman was, Otto is such a tragic character here. He's a good person genuinely trying to make the world a better place, and his life and all his efforts just go up in smoke in the blink of an eye. And Molina does such good job of conveying that sense of hope punctuated by tragedy. You really feel how his situation could just break a man, even without the influence of the arms' AI. I think the biggest strength of these two films is the willingness of both the writing and the cast to take things seriously. At a time where superhero movies often felt like they had to either poke fun at themselves or drain themselves of colour and fun, these movies said, "What if we let Spider-Man wear a colourful, comic-accurate costume *AND* take himself, his emotions, and the danger he and his love ones end up in seriously?" As someone who grew up on the very sincere and earnest Marvel and DC animated shows of the '90s, these two films very much hit a sweet spot for me in that regard that stuff like the Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Nolan Batman films never came near.
In my comment for your Spider-Man (2002) reaction I mentioned there was a scene in this one that was, "visually one of the most Sam Raimi scenes in any of his Post-Evil Dead films". That, as you could probably guess now, was the (would be) surgery scene. The camera angles, the editing, the screams, the people being dragged into the darkness while their fingernails leave trails in the floor - it's all very Evil Dead - and especially Evil Dead 2 - coded. It was both weird and cool, incidentally, watching Raimi go from Evil Dead to Spider-Man. I assume it was similar to what other people felt watching Peter Jackson go from films like Meet the Feebles and Dead Alive/Braindead to Lord of the Rings. I didn't know about Jackson's earlier work myself until post-LotR, but it's definitely a similar jump in tone and genre.
One last thing, both in private or here and on social media, I'm never sure how best to handle talking about your dad. My experiences with both parents and losing them was... *very* different from what you experienced with your dad, and I always kind of worry about putting too much focus on such a sensitive topic at the wrong time. But I am sure about this, Tor: I love listening to you talk about your dad. It might make my eyes get a touch (or a lot) watery - especially if you get teary-eyed yourself - but it always and without fail warms my heart to hear the love in your voice when you speak of him and to get those little peeks into the beautiful relationship you two shared. My heart forever goes out to you over your loss, Tor, but I'm so glad you got to have the time with him that you did. I can't imagine he'd have traded that time for literally anything in the entire world.
Like I said at the start, this was video was a delight. You are as always fun, insightful, and engaging to watch and listen to, and of course you look absolutely amazing - you know full well what I think of that beautiful natural hair of yours and how lovely that qipao looks on you. I'm very excited to eventually see you revisit No Way Home now that you actually know the Raimi versions of Norman and Otto. Then there's Spider-Man 3... well, suffice to say I have *a lot* of thoughts on that one, and I do look forward to hearing what you think of it yourself. Thank you for this lovely, lovely video, Tor. Whatever movie or game it ends up being, I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next time.
19:05 "that was a horror movie scene
Sam Raimi : 😀
I'm glad you did another Spiderman movie reaction from this trilogy. This was everyone's favorite, including mines as well. Its always good to see you back, and its always a pleasure to see your reactions to the movies. Keep up the good work and do what you do best!
36:11 When you had Taco Bell for lunch and it hits you in the middle of your 1 hour commute home, clenching with all your might.
Willem Dafoe was never supposed to be in this movie. He just happened to walk by filming crew and Sam Raimi decided to have Willem Dafoe do his little part in the movie
OUT AM I?
Willem DaFoe's BTS fooling around as Dock Ock is just hilarious
PIZZA TIME!
First off: excellent thumbnail image choice. You nailed it.
Second off: excellent outfit choice. Big fan.
Third off: YOU HAVE NATURAL HAIR? My mind is blown.
Glad you got around to watching yet another one of my childhood favorites. In a world where comic book films have started to become a little paint by numbers, its refreshing to see a movie like this that has such a unique style, thanks to Raimi, and his horror background. I love those elements. I love the fights. Today those fights would have been much larger and crazier but I appreciate how scaled back but still impactful these ones are. Also, anytime I hear Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head I instantly think of this movie. Every time.
This was a fun video, as usual, but the insert shot of you falling in Insomniacs Spider-Man 2 was *chefs kiss*. Great inclusion lol. I also really loved that you were so dedicated to the bit that you actually closed out of the movie. You easily could have faked it but no, you really did it.
12:24 this is the most relatable thing you've ever said and it doesn't come close
24:20 No. Stop it. Bad Tori.
Great video as always. Looking forward to seeing you watch Spider-Man 3, and more of that Spider-Man 2 playthrough!
The real question I have always asked myself is why Peter choosed to bring Norman Osborn's body home, knowing that given the importance of this man it is a place that is guarded, maybe monitored with cameras, when he could have just made sure to separate it from the Green Goblin costume and put Norman's body somewhere visible, or even make it look like he was killed by the Green Goblin (since the Green Goblin Green killed the members of the Osborn Society Council, it would have been logical for him to go after Norman). So like this, no worries and everything resolves itself, without taking any unnecessary risks.
OR even, let's be crazy, he brings back Norman's body as he does, but he disarms Harry at the end of 1 to EXPLAIN to him that during his fight with the Green Goblin, Norman was present but that he didn't unfortunately not able to save him but that he was able to get rid of the Green Goblin. By showing him and proving that in any case Norman's fatal wound really came from the front of the glider. (even if it's something that Harry should have seen... or at worst the doctors who took care of the body and had to tell him, but despite that he thinks in a totally stupid way that Spiderman would have killed him, and then come and drop off his body at his house, which is totally stupid! For a guy who is supposed to be quite intelligent, that really pissed me off...)
In my opinion, they should have done something different if they really wanted Harry to be angry with Spiderman, because nothing is going well like this and i don't like to see Harry et Peter argue for something so stupid... it's a shame, but hey, that's the only fault of this trilogy!
5:22 Betty was actually Peters first girlfriend in the comics. Classic high schooled romance, dated for a while after Peter became a photographer at the Bugle but they later broke up but remained close friends. They met earlier in the comics, For the film they decided to have Peter get bit at 17 instead of 15 like the comics. And MJ was already a love interest in these films but I guess they hint a little at Betty and Peter flirting in this film.
Peter's first serious relationship wasn't until he started College and met Gwen Stacy who is often regarded as his first real relationship. Then MJ was introduced but they kept her face hidden from the audience until a few years when we the reader met MJ for the first time along with Peter. Pretty crazy looking back that MJ, Harry, Norman, and Gwen were not introduced until Peter started College a few years after his origin comics.
Peter Parker also dated a girl who was introduced in Spider Man: Homecoming who happened to be The Captain of The Debate Team.
Great reaction, Tofu. I can't even count how many times you had me laughing during that. And you don't ever have to apologize for going off on tangents, least of all about your dad. He sounds like a really good guy. Besides, your tangents and all the rest of your commentary's always entertaining. The qipao and red hair combo looks great on you too.
Looking forward to the next video
Another insta-watch, right when I needed a good video too. There's just so much humanity in these films, even if it's cringe-inducing or awkward. But life is awkward and messy like that. Aunt May, Octavius and his wife, absolutely love just seeing them act like humans. And of course, your stories always add so much to the reaction, we stan tangents here on this channel :')
You’re so authentic. I love it, and if there’s ever any doubts as a human being I think I can say we all love you. You’re not alone, and never on your own. I’ve dealt with being broke, and in fact was homeless part of my life.
19:05 Yes, he absolutely did!!! His very first feature-length film was the iconic “Evil Dead” from 1982 which spawned two sequels (both of them directed and co-written by Sam), a three-season TV series, and two remakes!!
this version of spider-man has organic webs in his body, so depending on his physical and mental health it will affect his powers. He never lost them they were just dormant due to mental block but was always there.
Thanks for sharing those stories about your dad. For those of us with Dads like yours, it meant something, so thanks, and can't wait to see whatever's next!
My condolences to you & it's lovely how you remember your Dad. I lost my mother late in Nov to heart disease & nothing prepares you for loosing a parent, I'm still very numb to it all. Bang, heart attack & now she's sadly gone. I know it will get easier with time
That story about your dad was absolutely brilliant. Much love💙
fun fact: whenver Otto is in charge of the arms, the "eyeballs" of the arms are white, but whenever the arms are in control, they turn red. And if someone were to hack into the system, then they would turn blue. (You can see them white at 39:36)
Why doesn't Peter just tell MJ that he was in accident when he missed her show, he was fine, but his bike was messed up and he didn't make it to the theater until after the show started? He literally has the broken bike to show her, so it's not like he's even lying to her.
Exactly
Only problem was that Peter came out unscathed and Spider-Man was sighted that night. She might put two and two together
@@sylvester3018probably yea
It's not a full blown lie but it is a half-truth and I think Peter is just a little too honest/noble for his own good.
He literally tried telling her that during the phone call and apparently she wasn’t available enough to show her evidence since she was preoccupied with another man
Wait until you see the fight and action scenes in Spiderman 3
Great reaction Tofu. Your commentary is always so much fun!
I like this even better than the first one, honestly.
Also, I lost my dad a few years ago, so your memories about your dad hit home for me. Very much appreciate you sharing those memories with us.
I will never stop enjoying seeing your enjoyment/reactions of these things from my younger years, its so genuine and honest. thank you as always.
Her sharing her feelings about her dad and going on tangents is the best.
Hey Tori. ☺️ I just want to say that I love your videos. I also lost my dad suddenly 2 years ago now. I was the one who found him. And I lost my mum 5 years ago too. So it's been really difficult. Idk I just wanted to say that you don't need to apologise for that tangent. It was really sweet of you to think of your dad. And actually allowed me to cry a little bit too. It felt like I had this connection and we were grieving and telling stories together for a little while. I have a hard time accepting what's happened and crying doesn't come as easy- I think because to do so would be accepting what's happened and I don't want to. But I found your heartfelt emotions and compassion and willingness to be vulnerable there to really be amazing and help me too. It allowed me a moment to grieve and think about how my dad would get me little treats and chocolate bars and things, just because. Just to do something nice for me. Idk I'm rambling 😂😅I guess I just appreciate that moment as it was nice to feel like someone gets it and it allowed me a moment to actually cry a bit. Which I think I needed. Thanks. Anyway I hope you're doing well. Grief is a difficult thing and I hope we both can learn to live with it. Best wishes.
Childhood movie right here... It feels a bit strange to me that this movie is basically *20* *years* *old* now...
This film legitimately has some of the absolute best and most heartfelt and memorable moments in the ever expanding genre of superhero movies... From Peter Parker trying to deliver pizzas as Spider-Man, to the entirely original Mr. Ditkovitch landlord character (who wasn't even in the original comics...) who's constantly asking for his rent, to the horror hospital scene with Dr. Otto Octavius and his robotic octopus arms, to the entire bank fight scene between Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus, to the references to the "Spider-Man: No More" storyline directly from the comics, to the "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" scene, to Peter Parker saving a little girl from a burning building without his powers, to the small sweet scene where Ursula offers Peter a piece of chocolate cake, to Aunt May's motivational speech scene where she talks about how everybody loves a hero, to the hilarious scene where Peter tries to get his powers back but he just ends up breaking his back, to the scene where Peter *does* finally get his powers back and he's fully back in action again as Spider-Man => 34:27, to the entire train fight sequence between Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus, to this little moment right here => 35:23, to Spider-Man stopping the runaway train before it plunges into the New York Harbor and the train passengers helping him out and promising to keep his identity a secret right afterwards, and all the way up to the final swing that ends the movie => 42:15. Just... *so* *much* to remember about this *iconic* movie...
This movie definitely has a *lot* of my favorite moments in a superhero movie and it definitely holds a special nostalgic place in my heart along with the Spider-Man 2 movie tie-in video game on playstation 2 that released the day before this movie came out.
I *really* enjoyed this reaction commentary Tofu and I'm *so* glad you were entertained and enjoyed the movie too.
Spider-Man 2: 2 Spider 2 Man :Ρ
Been looking forward to this, and as always babe, you delivered. The qipao looks cute, and with the red hair out, the MJ vibes are in full _swing_ for this video. 😎
...anyway lol
Props to the editor for the appreciative qipao whistle
Loved you being seconds ahead of the Spider-Pizza delivery. Didn't love you having a moment over James Franco, but we can move right along. lol
Don't you dare apologize, that was a very sweet tangent. Your dad always sounds like the best guy. You definitely get your generous heart from him. I'm so glad you have all those nice memories together. ❤️
Everytime you cracked up at Peter, it got me too 😂
Otto and his wife are very cute. The fucking usher at the play, not so much. I'm sure somebody's brought it up already, but that's Bruce Campbell, and he's in every one of these movies in some bit role. Perks of being old friends with Raimi. lol
Sorry, babe, we can't claim Raimi-verse MJ as one of ours 😭
You're 100% right, Raimi got his start in horror, and the arm scene is a whole throwback to his slashery comfort zone
The jumpscare was so good, and the fakeout outro was _perfect_ 😂
You just know those puppeteers were having a great time with Ock's arms *claw pinchies* lol
The train battle is so dope, even all these years later. And same, the moments where you see how much Spider-Man means to people are some of my favorite.
Not you calling Raimi on his kinks in the middle of this big climactic moment... 😂
Right there with you about Otto, and Alfred Molina's fantastic performance. Top-tier stuff.
Another great one, Tofu. Funny as always, and you never fail to elevate the experience with how much of yourself you bring to these. Even when it hurts and my eyes are swimming and I just wanna give you a hug. 🫂 I would _love_ to watch a Spider-Man 3 reaction whenever you get a chance. I could definitely see that being a good time. Can't wait for whatever you put out next. ❤️
that talk about your dad had me tearing up, beautiful story and thank you for sharing with us. He is a great man, and a great father.
Harrys Seto Kaiba moment "I don't like being touched by people who don't have money." 18:22 😅😂🤣
"Real-life footage of me playing Spiderman" then backing it up with real footage made me laugh so goddamn hard.
You should have seen spider-man 2.1 it includes all the fight scenes that where cut in the movie as well as J Jonah in s spidey suit lol.
Fun fact from the official Spider-Man 2 graphic novel: during the scene where Doc Oc fights Peter on top of the building he kept losing consciousness but the arms kept waking him up. Remember, Otto is just an average man while Peter is super-human. Same goes for the train scene. Peter was hitting Otto so hard that even the arms began to feel pain which is why they decided to sabotage the train so they could get away. Peter's Spider-man was a straight menace!
I love that you brought up the ladies and their FANTASTIC screams. That’s actually very common in Sam Raimi movies. He is a sucker for a great scream. It’s one of the small details that make this movie fantastic :)
I've been actually going back to watch your gaming play-throughs recently. So when this popped up, I was like, 'Hell yeah!' Love your content! Also, don't ever feel like you need to apologize for stopping and talking about your dad. For me personally, it's very touching to hear you speak about him. I lost my dad when I was 19, about 8 years ago, from suicide, and the pain sometimes is so fresh it feels like it just happened. It will get better though. Also, not sure if you were joking about the autism thing, but for someone like me with high-functioning autism, I'm always on the lookout for people who are similar. Anyway, gonna go back to your Tales from the Borderlands play-through. Will be back for the next movie review! Thanks again for everything you do 🤗
Interesting fact. Tobey actually hurt his back filming the rooftop scene. I'm pretty sure because of it they were thinking of recasting Tobey or holding off on filming
I think it might’ve also been because he was making the movie Seabiscuit.
He hurt his back filming Seabiscuit and was actually going to be replaced by Jake Gylenhall, the scene with the rooftop was a little joke with that
That story you told about your Dad is so touching. I'm sorry for your loss. This is still my favourite Spider-man movie. A big part of it is Dr. Octopus who was brilliantly portrayed in the acting and action sequences. That entire train sequence is iconic.
Aunt Mae giving Peter her last $20 is such a heartfelt ♥️ thing.
"What's with these horror movie screams?"
Sam Raimi got his start directing the Evil Dead trilogy of horror movies. That's where his filmmaking sensibilities come from. The scene where Doc Ock's tentacles come alive and go on a rampage in the operating room is vintage Raimi.
🦹🦹🦹🦸🏻🦸🏻🦸🏻🦸🏻🦹🦹🦹And Also Doc Ock Was Also Also inspired By His Own creation Darkman🦹🦹🦹🦸🏻🦸🏻🦸🏻🦸🏻🦹🦹🦹
You gushing over the actors hair styles and I'm just sitting here bald af. Lol
2:42 The artwork for the intro was done by comic book writer and artist Alex Ross. His artwork is amazing, has this very timeless look and fill combined with a very realistic depiction of these characters, as close as one can get to live action in comic book or graphic novel form. So here's a little list of some amazing works I recommend looking into.
Kingdom Come - Amazing Graphic Novel with stunning Artwork.
Marvels - Showcases the Marvel Universe from the POV of the Public.
Batman: War on Crime - A great look at Batman in this style.
Justice League World’s Greatest Heroes - Great look at the Justice League.
I don’t think I watched a video where you laughed so much. Seeing you laugh always made me laugh 🤭. Plus your outfit is 🔥 as always. Can’t wait to see your Spider Man 3 reaction!
Marvel Movie you need to watch:
Elektra (2005) Jennifer Garner
Venom (2018) Tom Hardy
Hulk (2003) Eric Banner
The Incredible Hulk (2008) Edward Norton
Logan (2017) Hugh Jackman
28:18 Others: What a heartfelt moment...
Tofu: This effin Gusher!🤣
I love that Sam Raimi goes back to his old slasher movie roots for the hospital arm scene. So good
19:05 Raimi did do horror movies before, not only that but after the success of the first spider man movie a lot of the die hard horror movie fans complained and said Raimi sold out and went mainstream so he did that hospital scene to let the fans know he still got it
Thank you for sharing your beautiful feelings and emotions... I'm HERE after hearing and seeing you THIRST for Willem Defoe on all fours (nice to see someone is still alive on planet EARTH... and then I let RUclips just run on to the next video. Hence me being here. PS Great EYES. never change. Your father would be so proud. He created you. He must have been a DIAMOND. Take care now. I'll pop back now and then to see a lovely human SMILING... LIVING... GIVING.... and not being affraid to CRY and share one's stories and feelings felt in LIFE. You are helping OTHERS feel. Thank you.
The story is that Willem Dafoe just walked up to the set one day during the filming of SM2 and they decided that since he's already there, they'll just put him in the movie 😂
@NowakP That is really cool.
"you killed my father!"
"What? What makes you think that?"
"You brought his body back to his family and respectfully laid it with honor"
..."yeah so...same question."
I lost my dad about 7 years ago. Both of my parents were the same way in that they always made sure I had what I needed and sacrificed for it. Life has a way of teaching you lessons and missing the people that treated us well when they're gone. I like to think that my dad is in a better place where he doesn't have to struggle any more. I hope your dad is there with him too.
Dr Connors is such perfect casting. Shame we didn't get to see him as the Lizard.
“Didn’t Raimi do horror movies?”
Absolutely yes he did. You need to watch the evil dead series
32:58 "Don't hurt Peter!"
This will always be my favourite Spiderman movie for sure. Into the Spiderverse comes a close second.
7:57 Moments like that are why this film hits on an emotional level that most others in the genre don't.
Nicee!! fun reaction vid! & Oh im sure your reaction to part 3 will be well worth the wait! definitely looking forward to that one lol.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how good Tofu looks in this video. As someone who lost their mom last year I understand how much it means to feel a connection with a lost parent.
I appreciated your brief interlude about your father. I miss my own father a great deal too and I like telling people about him. Similar stories of what a great guy he was. Sharing something from your heart like that should never be apologized for. In a way it's very appropriate for a Spider-man reaction because Peter's "father" was such a wonderful influence on him.
This reaction was so much to watch for me, seeing you remember your father reminded me of my mixed Asian friend when she described her father in a similar way. She has such a good heart, and it was disheartening to see how much that’s hurt you both.
The lead up from the first Spider-Man into the end of Spider-Man 2 is the greatest thing marvel will ever do
finally got the time so let’s do this
2:06 this a great start 😬
7:07 it’s funny that you inadvertently spoiled this moment for me the other day. you talked about crying at it and in my head I was like, ‘haven’t seen that video yet!’
7:31 trust me when I say you take after him that way. you are so incredibly generous. you don’t hesitate to offer to help your friends and it’s kind of a humbling experience to have someone always ready to help in whatever way they can. your dad sounds like he was a kind, loving man and his daughter turned out just the same
9:30 don’t ever apologize for your tangents. those are little glimpses into who you are and if someone doesn’t want to hear them then they’re missing out on knowing an amazing human
10:58 the PTSD i just got
11:19 gonna screenshot this real quick
21:19 sometimes men have performance issues
23:35 didn’t let me down. knew you’d recognize him
24:26 if it’s so sad, what’s with the grin?
24:34 …..no, I don’t think you are
28:31 love a dramatic moment followed by your gusher struggles
31:35 that’s how I walk when I wake up in the morning
36:59 the change-up 😂
38:11 maybe you just have a dirty mind?
40:11 you’re stupid and adorable
42:10 all that complaining about them not kissing and then your gonna talk about the LIGHTING during the actual kiss? you are unique
43:45 I think that’s exclusive to the game. it’s mostly just a lab accident with the arms
this was so much fun. Spider-Man 2 really is one the best superhero movies of all time. can’t wait to keep the Spidey journey going with you
38:46 the reason the magnetic pull doesn't work on the metal arms is the same reason they were created - he needed some non-magnetic metal arms to reach into the reaction field where human hands couldn't reach. Also Mary Jane was pinned under a large piece of rubble and couldn't move when Peter was over her.
I love your vids! please do continue on having fun while doing your videos, you got our support. I'll support this channel no matter what:))
So excited for this! I love your movie reactions and all the commentary you have to say during them.
Nice cosplay.
You looks really good as redhair, i think you should stay like that.
Hugs from Spain and may the force be with you.
To the loss of your dad, there's a saying we'd repeat at my old church when we would talk about those we've lost: "Those who are remembered, live."
J. Jonah Jameson’s laugh will forever live rent free in my mind 🤣
36:47 - uncle Joey 😀
This is the best Spider-man film of all time in my opinion.
Spider-man has always been unique in that he's an every man. He struggles to pay his bills, he's unlucky in love, when he's out of the suit he's awkward and lacking in social skills - but despite all this, or perhaps even because of it, he's a hero. He sacrifices his own wants and needs in order to keep being a hero and to keep doing the right thing. Raimi understood that in such a pure way and really put it front and centre here. The only thing that comes close to this perfect understanding of what makes Spider-man Spider-man is the first PS4 game.
The Raimi films have that core of who the character is down pat and a pure sense of humanity that I don't think any other Spider-man media has been able to capture.
“And that’s the story of how Elijah became a vampire”
Close. Werewolf.
4:46 Thats Temperance Brennan from Bones
6:18 That might be one of my favorite hairstyles on "masculine people."
Um, you mean like a man? 🤔
The drawings in the opening were done by legendary comic book artist Alex Ross, who's art is very painterly and photo real.
Whenever I'm watching a movie and there's a cool transition I think to myself "Ooooh Queen Tofu would like that transition"😂😂
I love this movie. The struggle between everyday life and superhero responsibilities takes a toll on a guy like Peter who wants to make everyone happy.
16:53 Fusion is a nuclear reaction in which atoms of a form of hydrogen called deuterium (one proton, one neutron, and one electron) combine to form helium atoms (two protons, two neutrons, two electrons), releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. Nuclear fusion happens in a sustained reaction in the center of all stars, but is incredibly difficult to do here on earth. In fact, there has never been a sustained manmade nuclear fusion reaction. All fusion reactions we have managed to initiate were very brief, either in the form of thermonuclear weapons tests or brief reactions within experimental reactors.
Off topic to the movie here but your story reminded me of my struggles in life. There was a time when I could barely afford to feed myself and my parents were always there to help even when I knew they didn’t have much either.
"Might be" is an understatement, this movie is the GOAT
