Lawnmower Boy

I'm getting an 'if you see this, you'll be dead in 7 days'....

OK, let's consider...
Agree 100%.
 
 
So we will never have any new Directors?  What was James Gunn's track record with Supers before he directed GoTG?  How many had Joss Whedon directed before Avengers?
 
 
Agree.  That does not mean proven talent.  Who else would have hired RDJ?  Tom Holland wasn't exactly a household name either.
 
 
Honours, sure.  But as I recall the source material, Peter Parker had no real friends in high school.  His early crushes/girlfriends were Betty Brant (a secretary, not a fellow student), Liz Allen (a white blonde), Gwen Stacy (ditto) and Mary Jane Watson (a white redhead). His Aunt was elderly and frail, as I recall, and never knew Peter was Spider-man (certainly not in his high school days).  I don't recall any Filipinos in his high school classes, but I do recall Flash Thompson, a red-haired white jock. 
 
Some might say the various castings are
 
 
but I'd say they
 
 
 and
 
 
Finally...
 
 
So ditch those teachers, that high school buddy "Ned Leeds" and any father figure for Peter Parker?
 
And we certainly would never want any new characters creeping into the MCU, or the comics for that matter!  In fact, the movies should stick to high-profile characters like the Hulk (how did his movie do again?), not B-Listers like Iron Man and Thor, much less more minor characters like Hawkeye, GoTG or Black Panther.
 
Did I get all that right?
 

Happy Merryneum!
 

NONE of the year's MCU movies have been abject failures critically or at the box office, no matter how much certain people would like to impose that narrative. The previous three did quite well given that they were released during a global pandemic. But it's no surprise that they're being outdone by a movie featuring Marvel's most popular and well-known character, which is also the third in a series of well-received films about that character. I think the last two Avengers movies were the only safer bets in the entire franchise.

Well...we enjoyed Shang Chi and Eternals too. "shrugs"

I don't even know what a hamburger costs in D&D so I can't compare monetary systems.

Well, I suppose the easiest way to start would be to list villains book-by-book, and then figure out how you want to organize them. For starters, here's the roster from Classic Enemies, including the page number where their write-ups begin.
