Spiderman Homecoming is basically Hey Arnold 

YOO MESS WID WUNNA US YOO MESS WID ALLA USS

The best part about your videos is how you show that enjoying pop culture doesn't mean you're vapid or 12, and you can criticize pop culture without being mean or getting on a high horse. Second best part is the wit

She's mastered the use of the after credits scene.

It's like I was saying on my way out of the theater: "This movie would have been way better if Spider-Man had a football for a head."

That bully thing reminds me of Arthur too. Binky was like, the bully character but he also kinda would just hang out with the gang.

I come from the future, at precisely 1:58 in this video, Jenny taunted the gods and ruined Peter Parkers life

They kind of cannibalized Miles Morales to make MCU Peter. The magnate school is straight out of Miles' origin, and Peter's BFF Ned is pretty much just Miles' BFF Ganke.

1:57 "There's never that moment where the public turns on Spiderman, like there's too much bad press and they hate him now. ... And this is post Avengers, so since he has the support of Iron Man, I don't think we're gonna see that happen in this universe at all" That aged well.

Every time she said “but like ok-“ I laughed so hard lol.

This video really made me appreciate what Homecoming did to subvert the tropes we've seen develop through the over saturation of the superhero market, and the over saturation of the Spider-man market. Homecoming understood its place as the second Spidey reboot in the last 20 years, and used this to its advantage by allowing itself to tread new ground rather than go through the same plot points we've seen time and time again through the previous 6 movies.

Jenny is what Cinema Sins could be.... actual in depth criticism and comparisons with snark instead of just complaining with annoying sound effects

At least they didn't do another Origin Story again which is a bit of a relief

Spiderman Homecoming is currently my favorite movie. I'm 15, and when I first saw it, I was going through a really bad time with my depression. I was convinced I wasn't going to get better, and I just spiraled endlessly and was in one of the worst places I have been in a while. Then, the movie was just kinda...sweet. It was a id who wanted to do good things, overestimated himself, got wrapped up in his own head, then kept trying. His whole arc about losing the suit made me feel like maybe I could work through this stuff, even when I didn't feel like I could. It just made me feel more hopeful, and I turn to it whenever I feel really down. It really helped me out of a funk.

The Raimi trilogy had one HUGE advantage over Homecoming: JK Simmons as J Jonah Jameson. It's like the man was born for that role, perfect casting. EDIT: 1. I know he's been cast as JJJ again. A dozen people have commented that, adding yet another comment saying the same thing is useless so don't. 2. This JJJ is the same name but is a lame excuse and different character altogether. It will never be as good as the Raimi JJJ.

Jenny: "We're not gonna see the public turn on Spider-Man." Far From Home: Hold my web fluid.

BONESAW IS READY

Spiderman is a menace!

Since I just rewatched the Raimi series, I get what you mean about how people treat Spider-Man and Peter Parker differently. I didn't really think about those minor plot points until you brought it up. It does give Tobey's Peter a sense of responsibility to everyone instead of those who like him. Kudos.

You're thinking of "magnet school"

Why the hell was this, like the _sweetest_ video I've ever seen? Like, on paper, I should not have been that interested in this presentation, but...here I am. Subbed, I guess. Shit.

Thor is basically Cars

The best Peter line from Raimi's film, "I cried like a baby when you played Cinderella." LOL, maybe that's just me.

I'd forgotten everything about this video except that it blew my mind with its core thesis, and that has happened once again. Did an excellent job at underlining the cores of each Spidey franchise, and why I like Raimi's so much better. That Spiderman is doing everything by himself. His stressful but manageable civilian life is stretched to and past its breaking point all the time because he always chooses to save people. His relationships are damaged, his academics are sabotaged, he loses jobs, and he keeps saving people.

Excellent points. Both the Raimi Spider-Man movies and Homecoming are true to the original comics in different ways. The nicer, friendlier New York of HOMECOMING is appropriate for Tom Holland's very young Peter Parker. I think it's easier to see 27 year old Toby Maguire struggle with the much harsher and meaner world of Raimi's movies.

"there is never that moment where Spider-Man gets turned on by the public" that didn't age well

I've never seen anyone who just took Nyquil with a fever put together such a good argument.

At 1:58 Jenny predicting No Way Home 5 years before its release Love it!!

I really loved the sweetness of the new Spiderman, but you articulated really well why it still feels somewhat empty

I felt the same way. Like Homecoming was an extremely safe environment for Peter. He's a nerd but he's in a school full of nerds so no problem. He's in NY but in a friendly neighborhood. Meanwhile Matt Murdoc, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage are hanging around the bad neighborhoods of NY while Iron Fist is hanging around Wall Street. Like all the bad people are hanging around Manhattan and Spider-Man is stuck with pickpockets and bike thieves.

a movie that Jenny actually likes somebody call Congress

yeah i was trying to compare Spiderman 1to Homecoming and they just seemed so different. like Spider-Man 1 has an epic feel to it and Homecoming is more of a slapstick comedy. And they are both good but in different ways.

I enjoyed Spider-Man: Homecoming as well... But BLESS YOU JENNY. You've highlighted a key thing about what makes those older ones so great (not to mention acting, directing, cinematography, theme, action, sound design, reactions/perspective). I also think the Raimi ones are better (and PERFECT).

"The public doesn't turn on him because of bad bress" "He has support from Iron Man, it's not gonna happen in this movie" Spider-Man 2k19: hold my web

You straight up predicted what would happen in the second one because now they're actually after him. So much so that he broke the fourth wall n left the MCU. Maybe this is a sign he'll have a Deadpool Spider-Man movie

THE HEART OSBOURNE! FIRST WE ATTACK HIS HEART!

If Spiderman Homecoming is Hey Arnold, what does that make Sam Raimi's Spiderman? Doug? Rocko's Modern Life?

Glad I'm not the only one who still likes Raimi's Spider-Man the most.

I swear Flash is low frequency gay for Peter.

*WAIT!* are you telling me that the people who live in NY's shaddy neighbourhoods aren't colourful and corky!? i should rethink my trip ti NY, then

The scene where Spiderman saves the train in Spiderman 2 is one of my favorite scenes ever

I was trying to figure out what why Homecoming rubbed me the wrong way. I enjoyed it, but I could not wrap my mind around why I didn't completely enjoy it. You just nailed the reason completely. Everyone loves Peter in this universe, and there are literally no personal consequences for him being Spider-Man. Aunt May freaks out at one point, but doesn't ground him, or reprimand him, she just wags her finger at him and says "you scared me" [paraphrasing]. The closest thing we have to a consequence is that Peter doesn't get the girl he has a crush on, because she doesn't understand he's spider-man, and we get the sense that he barely knew her anyway so...

Haha, spot on with the comparison to Helga!

Watch out! there's a spider behind you.

You are a good blue car.

That spider collection is looking a little weak... if only you could buy a comically large one

It is midnight, but I see Jenny Nicholson uploaded a new video. I must stay a simple man. *click*

the word your thinking of to describe the kind of school he goes to are: "Private" and "fucking expensive"...

"Go web- oh my god- why did I do that?" ... That's what I think every time I do that too

I don't even need to agree on her opinions, because I know I'll agree with her points.

1000% agreed. Whenever Homecoming looked like it could push into a weightier more earnest/harrowing moment for the character, it seemed like the director got scared and backed off just a little bit. It's a shame, because the performers are really strong, and I think they can take the characters to those places. Fingers crossed for some actually emotional Peter/May scenes in the follow up. Also, No more tech Spidey suit...and lastly, I'll bet the events of Infinity War might affect the universe in such a way that the public isn't as fond of Spidey in future movies. I definitely see them moving in a direction in keeping with that classic Spidey relationship with the public.

Because you're sick, your eyes are watering all the time and it looks like you've been crying for a while now, like the movie emotionally touched you. It's kinda hilarious actually.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is my favorite on screen iteration of Spider-Man honestly. He’s actually played by a teen which is great, and Tom Holland has done suuuuuch a good job with the role.

The directors literally prepared us in every interview and quote that this movie isn't our typical spiderman movie. And yet we still weren't prepared.

"Since he has the support of Ironman, I really don't think we're going to see that [public hating Spider-Man] happen in this universe at all." WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THAT END CREDIT SCENE IN FAR FROM HOME THOUGH.

3:54 I hope everyone appreciates this joke as much as I do. It's hysterical!

Best part of Spider-Man 3 is the pie scene -- not just for the pie line, but because of Bruce Campbell as the French waiter. His role gets bigger and better each movie!

It's a Magnet School.

This was a good analysis of why the Raimi films are still superior to this day... 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' was good, but like she said, they basically played it too safe.

I came for the Hey Arnold / Spiderman Homecoming comparison, but I left with deeper understanding and love for the original spiderman trilogy. You snuck that in there, and I thank you for it! :D

Just like the line in spider-verse when they say something like: but above all a Spider-Man always keeps getting up! That made me cry. Just like now, when you described the Raimi universe and how it's so powerful! Well I didn't cry this time, but my eyes got so watery. What a beautiful hero, the Spidey is. ❤️🥺

Spider man homecoming is tied for best representation imo. Rami's movies and Homecoming both accurately portray aspects of the character, but honestly I don't think any movie has done the character perfectly. Homecoming lacked bite to me personally; I don't remember any real fight or direct conflict, there were engagements but it was mostly the environment utilised which didn't feel impactful enough. The comedy came less from Peter being quippy and sly and more from him being the butt of the joke and failing comically (which has merits obviously) but after a while started to feel like a diversion from his character. There was one fantastic scene where Peter is trapped and has to lift and object that even with super strength he has no right to move, which references one of the most iconic moments in the comics, but even that was bittersweet because I feel like that scene might very made a perfect crescendo in a later film where Peter could be facing a much lower point. Also am I the only one who thinks we really need an Into the Spiderverse film where Toby and Andrew reprise their roles as Spiderman and return as hyperbolies of their characters in the previous films. Can you imagine a hyper emotional Maguire and Ultra-sexualised Garfield acting with the relatively normal, level-headed and now canonical Tom Holland. Would also satisfy all fans of previous films and neatly tie up in a bow all the previous reboots. IT'S AU FAAMMM

Best thing to take away from Homecoming: it has a much more "natural" feel than previous attempts. There's no "style" at work to make the movie cool. It keeps loose and fun which is really what Spidey is about. Also on a side note, the villian is given his introduction first much like the Joker in TDK. Always a good way to open a film and set things up. Good stories begin with the villian not the hero.

This is one of the most well done videos I have seen in a long time

love your channel.hope you feel better jenny

I grew up in the inner city and I remember thinking to myself that high school is nothing like they portray it in 90210 or regular high school movies. Cool kids, gangbangers, geeks, jocks, busties, we all saw each other in the same parties. So I actually thought this movie was way more accurate in portraying schools in dense populations. And Hey Arnold is my favorite cartoon growing up. It was the only cartoon that understood what ghetto neighborhoods are like in the inner city.

"I think its kinda nice to tell kids not to expect high school and the entire world to be mean and scary and hostile." Yeah you don't wanna spoil their surprise when they find out by themselves, lol.

adorable to watch this in the context that Jenny is putting up a heroic fight against nyquil the entire time

I am totally impressed by how long you were relatively coherent & you totally stayed on the storyline too!!!! Omg, I'm dying! Hey Arnold!!!

No I have work in the morning I can't... okay I'll watch it.

Go web! Oh God. Why did I do that? I'm dying.

love your videos so much

Your reviews are so funny when you are sick, but I hope you feel better soon!

She pointed out the issue I had with the movie, there was no conflict or (my own personal issue) sense of danger. Throughout the movie Peter never gets hurt, he never bleeds or is bruised, he gets beat up a ton but always seems to be fine. Also small potential spoiler, but he does not react to his hands being burned in the end when you clearly hear the sizzling sound used in movies to indicate a burn. So basically no sense of danger for Peter and as Jenny pointed out there was no conflict. Some amounts of conflict appeared to be in the movie but it never really culminated in anything. Everything ended up okay and the conflict never really caused any change in Peter or repercussions he had to learn from or deal with. Don't get me wrong it was a good movie and I like this iteration of Spiderman, I just left the movie feeling like I enjoyed the small bit Spiderman had in Civil War more than his own movie.

Love the Fabulous Lightning McQueen in the background :)

Your perspective on movies is always very intriguing. It's not easy to find people willing to give non-subjective viewpoints on subjects. You look at the plot development and audience's emotions and character development, while most people look at special effects and actors. I wish there were more kinds of people like you in the world to have an intellectual conversation with. Cool shirt by the way.

I just realised this is why I loved Spectacular Spiderman the animated series. It wasn't a mean world.

New subscriber after watching your intellegent and witty commentary on the greatest show man. My young boys prefer the Homecoming Spiderman because of Iron Man. Interestingly Iron Man provided some of the only objections or push back that Peter faced, but even he was supporting him in the end. Great thoughts.

I like the fact that Jenny only makes quality videos rather than making videos just for the sake of views.

so much of the start of this so hilarious to look back on like “there’s no bad spiderman press” “there’s no point where he has no friends” oh poor 2017 jenny

Glad you're back, missed your content

i enjoyed the fact that it was a more untraditional origin story. i thought that was very creative and liked not hearing the same thing over again about how he got his powers

"oh my god, why did I do that?" Ha, I feel that on too many levels

Honestly, this was a really great video given that I actually didn't care about the new Spiderman movie but I was really interested in your take on it given that it's a new flick (I like consensus reviews). I started watching your videos because I stumbled your bit about Westworld, which I have never seen (film or show) was goddamned hilarious. I showed to a friend and joked "she stole my bit!" about playing two characters yourself. I really hope to see more videos from you, you're a talented writer if you ask me.

That was great Jenny!!

Jenny does delirious very well. thanks Jenny

"Reimi Spider-man is better though" HAHA loved it

jenny, that actually incredibly insightful. excellent work.

that "go web" followed by half assed "oh my god" was the cutest thing ever and I'm a freshy sub like this is only the 2nd video of urs I seen. keep this up ur funny.

WHy'd you jinx the "not enough bad publicity" thing, Jenny?

"this spider-man has the support of iron man so i don't think we'll ever see that happen in this universe at all" "at the very end, the bad guy won't even give up spider-man's true identity" Depending on how you look at it, this video either aged like milk, or like fine wine

Your whimsical voice you always have and your nonchalant jokes remind me so much of a friend I have. That's a good thing by the way, she's very endearing

I love you Jenny!

This is the best asmr channel!!

That was a pretty great critic

I Love you Jenny you are so funny and make great videos!

omg i love your content so mush and the way you present it without music and audio effects

the percentage guys to girls in your patron list.... lol

It's gonna be very hard to give this movie a truthful review with negative points because of the general consensus that it is a great movie

jenny your fricking amazing.keep up the awesome vids girl!

Love the comparison. It's fresh takes on movies like this that make me like Jenny and her videos
