Pete Parker a Pansy?
 

(This is a bit toungue in cheek lol )

I was just watching Spiderman again that last scene in the graveyard is perpetually aggravating.

You remember the scene? He is kissing MJ and basically says that he just wants to be friends.

Lets sum up what happened to that point.

Boy loves girls since they were 6 years old. Boy has no chance with girl, until the fricking Universe itself takes mercy and intervenes.

The boy is given superpowers and the girl is placed in an outrageous jeapardy from which only he can save her. Seemingly all so that he can just get close to her.

And finally his life long dream comes true and he chokes.

I have heard it argued (ZetaAce;)) that he was being noble, trying to protect her from his enemies.

But I say there is a very thin line between nobility and martyrdom and that by making that decision, to deny them both emotional happiness, crosses that line.

And worse, its like condemnation of nerds everywhere.

ITs like telling nerds that no matter how much they may rise above the appearance of social misanthropy, physical effeminancy, and lack of desirability to members of the opposite sex; They will still bring their problems with them and fail to get the girl even when she tells him she wants him.

Talk about disen-fricking-powering to the socially challenged everywhere!

OH LORD! Will there be no end to their miseries!

Anyway, what do you guys think?

Peter Parker, Nobel Or Martyr?

Ah but James, with great power comes great responsibility!:p

He has no choice. Maybe we can go ask Arya!

That scene was far more dramatic than it really needed to be. In the comic Peter Parker eventually marries Mary Jane and I thought it was kinda wack how they just had him leave her like that. We'll see how it plays out in the sequel

I think they did that to set up a sequal.

Nice usage of alliteration in the subject by the way! :)

They're going to hook up later.

The Great Arya has seen this thread and blessed this thread with his wisdom. Peter Parker is not a wimp. He is merely unsure if he will be to accomodate Mary Jane in his life along with Spiderman. Hence, he is taking the tough road in putting his responsibility to his community before his own need. BTW, in the comic book, Mary Jane married, but then later on divorced PEter Parker. Don't know what is going on lately though, so they might have come back together.

they were filming a wedding scene last i heard

as far as pete being a pansy. . .i wouldn't say that he was a nerd. he was a loner.

loner and nerd have two different meanings

and i know that this comic was in the olden days. . .but i don't remember rich boys hanging out with loners. usually, they're at the top of the heap.

and i'm sorry if james franco was a loner at my school. . .but i would jump on him in a second. he's cute. but that's beside the point.

nah, dude was a sara lee coffee CAKE!!! but then again, MJ wasn't too tight to begin with, so maybe he might waiting for a nicer looking chick, lol.

I learn so much reading these threads.

starang21,
are you saying that
there's no difference between a nerd and a loner?
i beg to differ

nah, i'm saying he was a cake.....with frosting and shit. and not the good whipped kind, the nasty ass sugary kind that disintegrates when you put it in your mouth, lol. i personally could care less if he was either....i think more of a nerd, becuase he had his boy, norm or whatever his name was.

hmm, maybe i'm looking at it the wrong way

in the movie, i think that toby played him like a cake

but then again, now that i think about it

in the comic book, he DOES look feminine in his outfit
(is it a one piece or two)
he's skinny with only a little bit of chest muscle
he's got a tiny waist and tiny feet
he uses no special swords, guns, or cool cars
he just gracefully glides on spiderwebs
and manages a bit of kung fu

maybe he is a coffee cake
well, compared to like superman and his powers
and the ambiguously gay-i mean, batman and robin
he does look the part

wow, i never thought of it that way

i think it's a two piece, he probably wants to feel extra sexy in it. he's not getting any kind of lovin' so he wants to justify his manhood by going celibate and not mashing out with average looking MJ.

i don't know
but don't they have to wear skintight clothing
so that they can glide without getting caught on something

what, you can't fly around in jeans?
