《A spider in the arrow-verse》I'ma say it

......I hate Tom Holland's Spider-Man.
Now before all you guys start attacking me let me just explain first off I'm going to tell you my favorite Spider-Man in order.
1)Andrew Garfield
2)Tobey Maguire
3)Tom Holland
The reason both Andrew and Tobey our first and second is because I grew up with Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man. So it felt like a classic to me and he was the first one I saw and that's what got me hooked on Spider-Man so much which lead me to go out and find out more about the others.
Andrew is my favorite because I like the way he tries to operate with his villains. Like he's not going to go in starting swing and he's actually going to try and talk to them. Not to mention unlike the other two Andrew actually cracks jokes while he fights like Spider-Man should. No I'm not saying Tom doesn't do this it just when it comes to him doing it it seems very annoying.
Tom is just iron man Jr. And he's practically the weakest I know a lot of people want to say that he's the strongest or try to come at my throat because I'm saying that. But honestly he pretty much is, here's why a lot of you Tom Holland fans want to try to use him picking the rubble up off of himself when he was fighting vulture, then you want to use the boat scene, and lastly the Bridge scene in the movie with Mysterio.
All three of those would be valid arguments if they all failed in comparison to the others. As you guys already know Spider-Man has the proportionate strength of a spider.
That is still very terrifying because a spider can lift 170x it's body weight. Now imagine a human being having that ability, which means however much they weigh they'll be able to lift 170x that amount even if it's a proportion of that strength it's still dangerous.
Tobey was able to lift 1/4 of a entire building that was going to crush MJ in Spider-Man 2. Tom only lifted the rubble and it clearly showed that he was straining himself or at least putting everything he had into lifting that.

In both of his movies Tom is still basically a teenager. While in the other two's first movie they were just getting their powers and still learning how to use them. By the time that their second movie comes out they pretty much got this thing down and our young adults meaning that they have gained some weight. Because when we grow older we get fatter, even if you work out you're still going to be gaining weight because your muscles are getting bigger.
Tom wasn't holding that by himself remember he had other webs holding it in place before it just sunk. And it was just enough time for iron Man to show up so he can actually stop it.
Even when the web started to break and he was holding it on his own it wasn't doing anything.
Tobey was pretty much trying to stop a train doing the technical same method. However there are some major key difference here he was actually doing that all by himself. Because the building sure as hell didn't hold up with all that weight that was going on. I mean true some did hold but not all of them because some of the city did get totaled.
This is the one that needs to chill out the most.
My guy, my dude, bro come here, just come here, come closer, come closer
..........
My guy I cannot give you points at all for that because you're acting like the others can't do that. True and their movies they didn't touch up on it like in Tom's but, I'm pretty sure they can still do that.
I can't even give you points for that because he didn't even know what it was at the time. He literally just called it his he even called it that himself before he did all that stuff. I am very much sure that both Tobey and Andrew can do all that they just didn't have the budget in their movies because of the time. Especially Tobey.
See all that? That wasn't just for dramatic effect that was literally his spider since going off telling him what exactly is going on and where everyone is. If you play this in real time and not in slow motion like it was on some scenes. This man has some insane reaction time.

Do I even really have to say anything for this one?
Andrew and Tobey made theirs by hand Tom got his handed to him. And even if he did "Make His Own" it was with Stark tech. The web shooters I'll give him a pass because he did make his own prototype along with his first suit. But that's it seriously he has so much crap in that suit he didn't even know what to do with it. And that's not even me over exaggerating that is me being literal, his first Solo movie is pretty much proof of this claim.
I don't have much to say about Tobey's personality. Because at that time they were trying to focus on making the cartoon Spider-Man a real thing. Like the whole with great power comes great responsibility thing so he needed to be responsible and act mature. He did make jokes or do some funny stuff but it was more or less like the third or fourth thing he focused on. The OGs know what I'm talking about
Andrew was perfect, he made jokes when he needed to he was still acting serious when it came down to it. Even when no one was around he was still making funny lines.
Tom is annoying, like seriously all he does is talk and not in the funny way it's very annoying. You're not to mention his version of Spider-Man just asked to immature and new. You can make the argument that and like in some of the other Spider-Man TV shows he's kind of the same but to me no.
And I know that the new movie is coming out but thanks to the trailer I have better ammo. Because Doctor Strange was in the middle of doing the spell that made everyone forget he was Spider-Man.
And he was dumb enough to ask questions like
Like dude this was literally what you were asking for why do you choose now to act like you didn't know!!! And to make matters worse he kept on bugging Doctor Strange about people who he needs to know he's Spider-Man!!! You're acting like you just can't tell them again he didn't say you couldn't!!!!
The entire multiverse got thrown out of whack all because he didn't shut up.
And then lastly you have the city. Now for me I feel like when you're talking about Spider-Man the city itself is also a character.
When Tobey was trying to keep that train card thing from falling into the ocean that had people in it and Green goblin was trying to mess with him. The people of the city had his back and started throwing stuff at goblin so he wouldn't mess with Spider-Man trying to save other people.
Andrew I'm pretty sure you saw it in that video that when he got shot in the leg and needed to get to Oscorp Tower. The father of the kid Andrew saved got his buddies to move the crane so he can easily swing and get there faster so he can save the city.
Tom's city didn't have his back at all. That is according to the trailer, all these people were judging him pointing fingers holding up signs. It's like they all just thought Spider-Man was a menace even though that he has saved the day.
And to me that is very messed up because like if I wear this superhero and I've been trying my hardest to save you guys and I've nearly died countless of times trying to save the people of the city as my superhero alter ego. And when you guys finally find out who I am under the mask you want to criticize me and treat me like I'm a bad guy.
Like seriously tell me I'm wrong with this one. Even though his new movie is coming out you're not excited to see him you're excited to see The return of old villains an old Spider-Men.

Blaze
The story of a fire elemental's life in a world dominated by mages. He will have to learn how to manage betrayals, treachery, and maybe even love as he goes on adventures to find a meaning to it all. From dark, humble beginnings he will rise... or fall, devastating amounts in his journey across the world. Hello, Author here! I am, unfortunately, rather terrible at coming up with descriptions that seem to have the right amount of decorum and yet actually serve their function of adequately describing the story, so here's the coursenotes. - The story follows a fire elemental. (As you can tell from that, it is heavily besed on fantasy with mages and the like. Technology will not feature prominently) -As mentioned in the tags, this will have game-like aspects. (E.G. levels, stats. I will be trying to put my own twist on this notion however, so bear with me if the premise intrests you but you despise LitRpg) -It'll get rather dark, but not devastatingly so. (I'm trying to write a more complex story so it will have its dark moments, the prologue being one of them. Rest assured the whole story will not be this dark, though I'll make sure that no-one is a saint either) -The protagonist/protagonists will not be a Mary-Sue. (The plural will be understood when I'm further into the story. They also won't be impossiby unlikeable such as those in many Light novels.) -There is no prophecy (Anyone who says there is, is lying, trust me.)

Philippines in Another World (Because Japan is too OP. Please Nerf)
This is the Philippines, the Pearl of the Orient Seas. It is a country of sunny weather and sweet smiles, where life is relatively simple (unless you are into politics) and where people are friendly and warm. However, it is not without flaws.For instance, Philippines suffer corruption in the government like other developing countries as well as decades of insurrection. The rich only gets richer and the poor gets poorer, while since time immemorial the country's denizens have this habit of hating their presidents and loving foreigners more than their own countrymen.

Still, elite families control the government and social justice remains dismal. The younger population became increasingly materialistic while their parents are becoming more and more irresponsible. The problem has shifted from "how to decrease population" to "how to make spoiled kids' and parents' ass off to work".In terms of military power, the country has acquired considerate amount of firepower but remained one of the weakest in the ASEAN region thanks to politics. Worse, China and the USA has declared war against each other after a diplomatic blunder thanks to the incompetence of their respective new presidents. The world is doomed to a world war 3 while the Philippines was caught unprepared for war. Instead of finding solutions, politicians in the Philippines continued to blame their political enemies while the CBCP called everyone to prayer, hoping that God would make a miracle that make Philippines somewhat immune to nuclear weapons. Ironically, the prayer got answered in a way that is unimaginable....
