• Zendaya came out of nowhere so she can stare at a camera in the wind for a few minutes of screen time. She’s a pretty face, and that seems to be all she had going for her for the longest time. I literally don’t know if she can act, because I’ve never seen her acting for more than a few seconds at a time in the movies I’ve seen.

    Holland made a good spider man I think, but like so many, not a good Peter Parker. I think Toby was the best parker.

      Go watch Euphoria (the show you refer to as “nowhere”)

          They probably don’t have a similar cult following and/or not such a pretty face, granted - but she did not come out of nowhere and she can act is what i am saying.

      It’s difficult to criticize Zendaya without being mistaken for a chud who is still upset over a POC MJ.

      • Simple: just don’t bring up her role as MJ. Honestly I don’t understand why so many people get bent out of shape over the actors skin color not matching their mental image, or previous portrayals. Oh no, her skin color is a little darker than it was in a comic book oh nooooooo.

        They’re fictional characters in a fictional world.

        Its like all the people complaining about the little mermaid and how “she wasn’t black!” motherfucker you are arguing about the skin tone of a MERMAID.

        Zendaya has plenty of other mediocre roles to pick from.

        Funny thing is, I really first noticed how little she’s on screen because of Dune, and I think pt 2 has her best acting I’ve seen. She just isn’t as good in a lot of other stuff.

      I’ve seen her on TV shows and stuff so I know she’s a better actor than Holland. But still not what I’d call a generational talent or anything. The obsession is a bit odd.

      I always thought Topher Grace would have been a good peter parker. I still cannot believe they had him play Eddie Brock though.

      • I think he’d make a good spider man, but it really is hard to nail down that Peter Parker quality and still be a good spider man. Toby was the one I think hit the nail on the head. Nerdy, not a loner type but just not necessarily widely accepted socially, awkward.

        Maybe I just haven’t seen TG in enough stuff, but I think he’d be a good pick.

        If I had money and a time machine, I’d go back and have them do a movie with Toby as Parker, and Topher as spider man. Have them train for a few months so that have more similar bodies to make it more convincing.

          My opinion was mostly based off how he played Eric in That 70s Show. It’s very possible I could be wrong, and he’s too old now anyway.
