Peter wasn't on that team. He took another person's spot to get down to DC. Even then he missed the competition. Peter was originally on the Academic Decathlon Team. He quit the team. Then he re-joined the team just in time for the trip to D.C. And he missed the competition because (as DHS and FBI would see it), <--Don't need this comma here he gave an explosive device to his best friend Ned to take into the Washington Monument to blow up the elevator so obviously Peter wouldn't want to show up for the team's trip to the Washington Monument when Peter knows that his best friend is going to blow up the elevator with an explosive device that Peter gave him. That's another reason why SMH is such a badly-written movie. DHS and FBI would've detained Ned for questioning until Ned gave up Peter as the guy to gave him the explosive device. Then DHS and FBI would've gotten a warrant to search Aunt May's apartment. You are comparing 2 different Peter Parkers. Not because of the universe they are in, but the time in their life. The Peter in Raimi's movies was in college and on his own. Homecoming's Peter is still living at home with May and in high school. That only means the jerk boss thing doesn't apply. But high school kids can have relationship problems like college students do. In Spider-Man 2, Petre's relationship with Mary Jane wasn't as close as what he wanted. In SMH, Peter not only gets invited to parties but also has a date to the Homecoming Dance with the girl he has a crush on. And in Spider-Man 2, Peter was struggling to keep up his grades in school. In SMH, Peter is doing so well in school that he's on the Academic Decathlon Team. And in Spider-Man 2, Aunt May is struggling to pay the mortgage, which makes Peter worried and concerned as well. But in SMH, Aunt May gets free meals in restaurants. So my point still stands. Peter Parker in Spider-Man 2 has many of the same problems that most of us have experience at 1 time or another so we can empathize with Peter and root for Peter to succeed. Nut in SMH, life is perfect for Peter. No relationship problems. No problems trying to keep up in school. No financial problems for Aunt May. Life is perfect and Peter's only concern is how to impress Tony Stark. There's nothing hard about Peter's life in SMH and nothing that makes us want to root for Peter to succeed in SMH. So you are saying he was on the team and had to quit it and then rejoin the team to get to D.C. Is that what you are saying? Because that is what I said. That Peter wasn't on the team and he took someone else's spot to get to D.C. Was he on the team when they were about to go to D.C.? Nope. The coach wanted him back on the team, but he declined until he needed to be where they are going he asked to join the team. And wasn't Peter locked in a storage vault overnight? And calling it an explosive device is like calling a microwave an explosive device. It can explode is all. The boss, the landlord, teachers, other bosses. His relationship with Mary Jane didn't go how he wanted it because Spider-man kept getting in the way. That's the crux of 90% of his problems. That's why he couldn't keep his grades up in the Raimi movies. His teacher even says he's always exhausted. Notice when he stopped being Spider-man all his problems vanished. Peter has never had a problem with getting a girlfriend. It was with keeping one. Either they died or moved on from him because he was Spider-man. And Peter went through the same thing that a lot of guys go through, as a teen and as a adult. You like a girl and she might secretly like you also. Peter just stepped up and it paid off. Peter's grades had nothing to do with him being on that team. He's smart and the coach knows this. You watching the Raimi movies is what has your mind screwed up on who Peter Parker actually is. Peter's life is not perfect in Homecoming. No relationship problems? He finally got the nerve to ask his crush out (who secretly liked him) and she moves away. And he also had to ditch her at the dance. He has no problems at school (besides detention) because he stays at school. He's not skipping every class to be Spider-man. He can do that in college because they aren't going to call May. They'll just tell him he's going to fail. And wait... So Peter has to be a loser for you to root for him? What kind of problems do you have in your life? And again, Raimi's Peter isn't how he is in the comics. Yes, Spider-man gets in the way of his life, but not to the levels that Raimi had it. And I noticed that you derailed this from talking about how the DC characters aren't cinematic to trying to bash the MCU again. I won't respond to you out of topic after this. |
