It came from the Toy Chest: I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye!

 

By the title, you can guess that I've got a Tobry Maguire.As Spider-Man specifically black version. I got in my bigbadtoystore and the markup was like $2 over Hasbro pulse. The savings.
Were on the shipping for this figure and a few more items including a naked snake funko pop.
Yes, the very first thing I did after opening the figure.Well take pictures of the emo Peter dance. 




Articulation
Pete does whatever a Peter can... Spider-Man, not so much.
His articulation rivals  that of renew your vows Spider-Man. Sadly it doesn't work as well.

The closest I can get to the MVC Stance.
4.0

Paint and sculpt:
This is essentially the no way home Spider-Man in black with silver webbing. The star of the show is the Emo Pete head. It has a much better likeness to Tobey than other figures. 
4.5


Accessories:
Spidey head
4 alt. Hands
Symbiote face attachment.

That last one feels like a comic book accessory and not a Spider-Man 3 accessory. I gotta be honest. The higher price point is not worth it. 
4.0


Overall:
Before I give the final rating. I have to say one thing: This figure should've been dark Peter and not black suit, Spider-Man. 4.17 is his final score.
By the way, happy 18th Anniversary of this shitty movie.

Odds and ends may 3rd 2025...

 Sam Raimi's Spider-Man turns 23 today... 


I cried when Uncle Ben died. It was seeing something I had read about hundreds of times, but for the first time, I felt it. Little did I know that roughly 13 years after that, my soul would be shattered by my Mom's death. I hadn't watched the Raimi trilogy in years. Last time I did Mom was alive. Now, I saw the first movie recently. It hurt. I wailed I ugly cried. I can't believe it's been that long.
Don't you dare remind me Burton'sBatman is 36 years old... or that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is 35... .I don't need reminders that I'm getting old. My body reminds me every single day.

Domino's has Stuffed Crust Pizza and...

It's OK tasting. I mean. It's not great, but it tastes slightly better than current Pizza Hut. Honestly I'm not a huge fan of the parmesan cheese. Sprinkled atop the crust. It took 25 years for Papa Johns to adopt the stuffed crust and 30 for Domino's. Holy shit! I can't believe it took so damn long.!

What in the Actual Fuck? 

I thought it was a joke, but Trump wants to be the Pope now?
Here are the requirements for Pope:
  • Must be a baptized Catholic male.
  • Must have the use of reason.
  • Must be eligible for episcopal ordination.
Donald Trump was raised Presbyterian and  now claims to be non-denominatinal.

Right out the bat, that eliminates him.

I will not touch number two because it will get political. But fuck it! Just by asking to be the Pope, despite not being Catholic, that automatically cancels point 2. There, and I didn't mention his politics at all!

Number 3 requires him to be a high level Bishop... which he isn't. So, all this ridiculousness is making him look bad.
