Why Spider-Man 3 is My Favorite of the Trilogy 

Y’all act like you don’t randomly dance stupid like Peter when we’re alone. He just has the balls to do it where people can watch

Without Spider-Man 3 we wouldn’t have bully maguire

My favorite part of the movie is Peter tells Eddie Brock “you want forgiveness? Get religion” and the bastard actually prays to god in a church to kill Peter Parker. I fucking love that

“Want forgiveness? Get religion.” *minutes later* At church

The correct name for emo Peter is actually Bully Maguire

Spider-Man 1: Man vs. God Spider-Man 2: Man vs. Machine Spider-Man 3: Man vs. Itself That sounded a lot better in my head, I promise

Saying “weak” and “Alfred Molina” in the same sentence is a literal crime schaffrilis

The motivations of Doc Ock and the Goblin aren't as flat as you think. They represent thematic opposites to Peter's development. SP1 is about 2 people using their newfound power for completely different reasons. Peter to help those in need, and Norman to get revenge. The Goblin is like a pure villanous force who believes that great power should be used to get what you want. He successfully convinces Norman about this, and unsuccessfully convinces Peter, who's conviction to his uncle's words remains strong. Octavius wanting to rebuild the sun machine doesn't seem to make a lot of sense on its face, but makes more sense when you realize that the AI in the arms have the sole purpose of successfully completing the experiment, and that they're in control of him for most of the movie. Before the accident, Otto tells Peter that intelligence is a gift to be used "for the good of mankind", which is sort of a rewording of "with great power". This moral is pushed to the wayside when the arms take control, and Peter, unable to handle the effect being spider man has on his personal life, starts to reject it too. He comes back around just in time to save the day, and Ock does too, but only when it's too late, so he has to sacrifice himself. These villains are better written than what you give them credit for.

What people tend to forget when saying 'that 3 minute dance scene was cringy' is that rami was TRYING for it to be cringy. he WANTED it to be awkward. by saying that, youre saying that the scene did its job.

Schraffilas: *makes an entire video to describe why SpiderMan 3 is the “best” in the trilogy* Me: *i like black suit*

Actually, Harry's amnesia was taken straight from the comics where the real Green Goblin aka Norman Osborn was the one who actually got amnesia. He regained his memory after watching a record of Spiderman fighting Green Goblin.

Even at his lowest point, Raimi's Spider-Man still delivers.

I laugh a lot whenever I hear Toby Maguire trying to console Mary Jane and she says. *"This is not about you, it's about me."*

The exaggerated swagger of a New York teen possessed by a symbiote alien turning him emo

In the comics, Harry was more menacing and psychotic than Norman could ever be. He really strikes Peter at his heart, playing with his emotions while simultaneously torturing Peter both physically and mentally

When the film first came out, Sam Rami was like “I guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love them.”

My aim in life is to be a tomato meter approved critic

“How’s the pie?” S O G O O D

Spider-Man 3 wasn't supposed to have Venom in it, and consequently Sandman. It was the studio who forced Sam Raimi to put Venom in the movie, and he had to adjust his script, which initially had Harry as the only villain. It is honestly impressive that the movie did not turn out far worse and still had good moments and a good arc for Peter's character

In defense of the Venom film, it was marketed as a horror-type thing; when it's actually a romcom

The black suit is absolutely beautiful

I'm something of a critic myself lol

My cousin told me that Spider man 3 is more deep than I realized I think he was joking mostly, but when he mentioned that if you pay attention to Tobey’s dancing and being a chad to women he walks by. He’s literally dancing and feeling himself after walking out a store that’s having a discount sale and going out of business Douchebag Peter is what I miss 😂

Spider-man 3 was actually a much more focused film than most films now. There's a proper focus on Peter's character arc and the theme of the movie is clear as day- Revenge.

The Raimi trilogy is exactly how Spider-Man should be: dumb, funny, heart warming, etc.

Seeing the Title - Oh. So this person’s an idiot At the End - Yeah he kinda has a point

Sam Raimi's movies are great to me BECAUSE they're not afraid to be dumb. Classic comics were dumb. Raimi was just embracing what a good superhero story was.

Tbh, considering how many plot lines they were trying to juggle at once, it’s amazing that they still managed to make a somewhat coherent movie out of it all.

*Sandman was the first one to not feel so good before Infinity War*

Is this trilogy beyond stupid? Yes. Is it my favorite film trilogy of all time? Yes.

The butler telling Harry that his father was killed by the glider makes sense because Norman’s last words were “Peter, don’t tell Harry.” So it makes sense people close to Harry kept this a secrete until it was absolutely necessary for him to understand what really happened.

Despite what critics and some people say, I love Spider Man 3, but Spider Man 2 was the best. Doc Ock was an awesome villain. Willem Dafoe was absolutely brilliant as well. J.K. Simmons was definitely the best thing to come out of the Raimi trilogy.

The best quotable line from homecoming is Ned: “umm......... I’m looking at porn”

Schaffrillas: Sam Raimi could have made Harry this great twist villain. Callaghan: *That was his mistake!*

When you say that Dr. Octavius is a silly villain Me: I’m gonna put some dirt in your eye

24:40 i feel like this isnt a coincidence at all. Thr symbiote was dormant because it didnt feel any hatred until Peter found out about how Uncle Ben died. I dont know how the Symbiote works in the comics but it felt like it grew stronger from hatred in this movie. Which is why it influenced Peter, but didnt turn him into a full on murder machine like with Eddie who was just pure hatred by that point. Unfortunately the movie had to be PG13 so Raime couldn't give him the crazy violent scenes he so desperately needed.

I recently heard a good discussion on how the "emo" peter was not an accidental cringe fest. It was a cringe fist but entirely on purpose in the sense that to him that was the ideal perfect version of a cool person. No one else besides him thought it was cool but he doesn't understand that in the same way.

The funny thing about the Venom symbiote is that it's not naturally evil, it's just REALLY impressionable. So yeah when the film starts off with Peter getting a bit to egotistical the symbiote laches onto that and heightens it.

Idc if the old movies were cringe (in a good way) nothing beats tobey, he’s just THE Spider-Man for me. But, I love them all.

Nobody realizes how much of a absolute gem this movie is I swear.

The only real disagreement I have, ironically enough, isn't about spiderman 3. I think Alfred Molina did a FANTASTIC job playing Doc Ock, especially on the "father figure to Peter" front at the start.

"So how's the movie?" "Sooo freaking good, argargarg!"

I had never actually watched the Raimi trilogy until LAST WEEK to prepare for No Way Home. And I had the best time watching Spider Man 3 out of the three. This is mainly because I loved commentating my SHEER ANGER about Bully Maguire at my fiancé, who had already seen the movies but wanted to see my reactions to the whole trilogy. Harry was amazing for the entire trilogy and Norman's Green Goblin is now one of my favourite villains of all time in any media. Jazz scene in SP3 was incredible and I threw a sofa cushion at the TV when Bully Maguire hit Mary Jane and I almost knocked over and destroyed my TV BUT IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT.

The best bit about Harry disappearing behind a bus is that the guy behind him actually looks round as if Harry just dropped to the floor. He's still looking in the same direction when the camera cuts back over to Pete. Anyone who says this film didnt know what its doing hasnt been paying enough attention

Spider-Verse the least quotable? To that I say, "Hey"

My ringtone is Dane dehaan screaming you’re a fraud spider man and then flipping a table

Did you just compare the acting style of William Dafoe to the poor guy who played Venom in Spider-Man 3? Willam Dafoe is legendary. It’s like asking why your high school bully got floor when he took on Darth Vader. They are in 2 completely different leagues. I feel sorry for the next actor who will end up taking on the Green Goblin suit.

At 13:42, I couldn't help but laugh historically at Shaffrillas's comment and interpretation of emo Peter's line he gives to the landlord's daughter. "Do it again, but this time, I WANT SOME NUTS!" 🤣😂🤣😋🤣😂

"This movie has many problems but emo Peter is not one of them." Wow. After hearing SO MANY jump on the this-movie-is-bad-because-of-the-dance-scene bandwagon it's so good to finally hear somebody say that. (Genuinely like spider man 3 and the whole "original" live action spider man 3 trilogy.)

Nice try, Schaffrillas. I hit my head so hard I got amnesia and forgot your quote, but then I looked in the mirror and saw William Defoe AND REMEMBERED YOUR RUSE!!!

Because it’s a fucking masterpiece. Definitely the most entertaining and rewatchable superhero movie of all time

This movie used to scare me cause venom scared me and seeing spiderman dark and edgy scared me. But now as a 20 year old, all I can think is that Spiderman looks naked in his dark suit

I love how the back of the 2 disc DVD describes Harry as a "ninja snowboarder." I'm not joking. Look it up.

"My Spider-Sense is tickling... if you know what i'm talking about." *Insert Woody's laugh from Toy Story 1 here*

Probably the only reason the CGI look worse during the first aerial battle is because neither character is a full CG model, rather they're being added onto a green screen background as they are. I agree it looks janky, but it's still impressive to a degree.

I absolutely love your idea of Harry working with another villain in this film. I can imagine that if he teamed up with Sandman, he’d offer him the money Flint needs to help his daughter if he works with him to take down Spider-Man. They could have balanced each other out really well.

Sam remi wasn't written into a corner by himself, he was written into a corner by the Studio. Sony wanted Venom, but Remi wanted to hold that off for another movie and focus on Harry and sandman (or the vulture), but Sony said "no you're putting Venom in now and maybe we'll talk about a 4th". This was before the MCU so anything beyond a trilogy was considered risky, and yet Sony wanted that easily marketable Venom merch in Stores. Remi hated this and resented Venom being in the movie to at least some degree. this is what the movie is cobbled together because it's 2 movies worth of plot in one.

All of the crazy jokes in the raimi films are 100% intentional.

25:47 Funny thing is that Sam Raimi actually wanted Venom's birth to be the ending of the movie and have it as a cliffhanger for Spider-Man 4, but Sony and Topher Grace didn't like the idea

Many years later, Puss in Boots The Last Wish finally managed to put 3 antagonists without letting the movie go off the rails

I'm convinced that in the scene when Harry disappears he just lays down in the seat when the truck passes. You can even see the guy sitting behind harry at the table look at him when the truck passes.

Him Spider-Man homecoming isn’t easily quotable Me: I’m looking at... porn...

I am a huge Tobey McGuire Spiderman fan Since I was younger I remember , I was so hyped for SpiderMan 3 in cinema I watched it directly when it came out. Seriously I was a huge Spider-Man fan back then and still I am. The third movie was actually and surprisingly my favorite one , even tho it has some issues and missed opportunity’s. Venom was my favorite part actually. Even only because of the fact that he was pure evil and disturbing in this movie. The suit , the atmosphere was perfect But I understand that people didn’t like him Because he was „too skinny“ or Topher grace was not good , but actually he was good. His Eddie character was a evil version of Peter Wich is exactly like the comics The only thing that disappointed me was venom didn’t had much screen time and the character building wasn’t that great. The villains build up was a disappointment too They should have spilt this movie in two parts just like the original plan was , the church scene were Eddie becomes venom should be the end and the in Spider-Man 4 they could have every villain character a good storyline and character build. My favorite scene of the movie was definitely the church scene where Peter try’s to take out the symbiot and Eddie became Venom. That scene was a masterpiece. It had a dark atmosphere And was perfect.

I just rewatched this movie last night and in all honesty, I'm fully aware this movie is horrible and most of the characters make the dumbest decisions and aren't good people. I mean, Harry is kinda creepy throughout the movie but I can't help but absolutely love this movie and I feel like emo Peter is the main reason I adore this movie so much! I was snort laughing so hard throughout the movie. Tobey Maguire has the best reactions ever! I love his facial expressions so much! This movie is a mess but it's a loveable and extremely entertaining mess that I'll always welcome a rewatch with open arms 😌

My favorite quotes: “You’re a *FRAUD* Spider-Man! GEAUH!” “Aww, look at little Goblin Junior. Gonna cry?” “Pizza time.” “I’m gonna put some dirt in your eye.” Feel free to add your own

Thank you for crediting the Sandman birth scene That shit is beautiful, it genuinely stirs the feels

19:14 Bro SpongeBob music at this part

11:34 best bit

People in 2007 didn’t understand the greatness of this cinematic masterpiece

Schaf : I kind of forgot Gwen Stacy was in any movie outside of Spider-verse Emma Stone : *Am I a joke to you ?*

The fact you played Wallace and Gromit when talking about Topher Grace is just brilliant

I feel like the problems you mentioned about harry and sandman where due to the executive interference of Sony/trying to force venom into it last minute which lead to a lot of their stories either being cut or forced to rework it. If raimi was allowed to make it his way I think their stories would have been handled better. Also, what you mentioned on the reworking of uncle bens death, I think it’s part of sandman’s character “I’m not a bad man I just have bad luck” . He’s a decent man that just has horrible luck or always ends up making a wrong decision so the idea of him messing things up and ending up killing a man works for me. Also he is no where as bad as the diamonds, he regretted the things he did & wished he could take them back while they went from not caring to boom, good guys

It's Sam Raimi. The humour was intentional.

you tell Venom that he'll never eat lunch in this town again!!!

19:55 No it actually makes sense if you view it from this perspective The butler knew Harry would help Peter so he told Harry the truth, so there was a high chance of Harry's death, leaving no one to claim Harry's inheritance except for the butler himself as Harry doesn't have any close relatives.

Tobey's Spiderman movies are the Shrek of Spidey movies. Might me seen as memes and goofy to some because of their time but nonetheless a masterpiece trilogy

13:00 this is absolutely right. This is what a dork thinks cool dudes act like, and it's beautiful.

Did you know that Sony forced Rami to add more villains, he wanted this movie to be the best but Sony was like “Either put more villains or give us the movie to reboot.” Rami was so fed up he basically felt just finished with the movie.

The Raimi trilogy embraced the silliness of old comics tbh.

19:37 What I always found odd was why didn't Peter point out to Harry that Norman's Glider Malfunctioning was what killed Norman?

The fact that Sam Raimi made us feel bad for CGI sand, easily makes him the best Spider-Man director ❤️❤️

“If Jameson were there, it probably wouldn’t be his tempo” Easily the best thing in this video

20:30 OH COME ON!!! PERFECT TIME TO REFERENCE AMAZING FRIENDS

Schaff on Norman's death: "Did they not do an autopsy?!" Harry's butler: "Hello, I made it myself!"

“It was at this moment that I realised that James Franco was actually hiding under the table.” - Dunkey

I beg of you to make a *MEGAMIND* review, please.

everything schaf says either ages well or milk expiring superfast

21:35 Is… is that Bahamian Rap City?

Damn, that climax would be a thousand times better if it was Jameson in distress

“You’re a goblin Harry!” Gandalf.

I thought, due to Normans quick dying Wish in Spiderman 1 the Butler nor Peter when Harry found out about His Secret Identity told him the truth. But now that Things escaleted and Peter still didnt Tell him the truth, He'd do it so that Harry finally comes to his senses, ignoring Normans wish in Order to save Harry from being consumed by rage Like his father was

just wanna say ur video editing and writing is absolutely top tier and literally makes me laugh out loud

I actually looked up why mj was captured at the end of Spider-Man 3 and here is what I found. “ Kirsten Dunst only agreed to reprise her role in the third film on the condition that Mary Jane would not end up as the Damsel in Distress. Executives agreed. MJ was originally going to have a more proactive role in the film's climax (Gwen was going to be the damsel while MJ would be the one to talk Harry into helping and forgiving Peter; her lines from this scene remained in the trailer). When the plans changed, they made sure MJ was an Action Survivor during this particular distress as means of making it up to an upset Dunst. Throwing a cinderblock at Venom was thrown in, they let her jump and swing on hanging webs herself before needing to ultimately get saved, and any of MJ's screams during the scene (Peter's too, for that matter) were recycled audio. On the audio commentary, Raimi tells a rough story of coming to the process that in order to finish the movie on time, they had to put MJ in danger, which not only angered himself for reneging on his promise to Dunst before production started that he wouldn't, but that summoning the courage to tell her was one of the hardest things he's ever done in his long time in the business.”

Apparently explaining why Spider-Man 3 is the best of the Raimi Trilogy is super easy barely an inconvenience.

Recently watched the movie again, they did reveal Flint was pinned as Ben's murderer in a scene before it cuts to Flint being chased by the cops.

As a Ness main, seeing him edited over you saying “okay” was very funny to me. My favorite smash bros taunt of all time. Except maybe Zeldas laugh/wave goodbye or Peach going “lalalalala”

There better be a clip of Scott the Woz saying "Don't worry I'm going to the doctor to get my opinions fixed"

to basically put this whole video into a sentence "It's good because it's bad."

"Ok, spiderman, do a flip!" I havent watched homecoming in ages but that scene absolutely slayed me

Rewatching the video that introduced me to this amazing channel after seeing the awful news
