@AlexBoucher ummm buddy, nice video. But the comicbook is clear, spiderman has superhuman strength and durability, that's why his arm doesn't get detached when he swings. If not for that then I believe stan lee would've designed a different mode of transportation.
I also loved how in TASM, they incorporated more spider like movements. Like when he's fighting the lizard in the school in the first movie and wraps around him like an actual spider would webbing up their prey when webbing him up. It's literally just a few seconds but SO cool and one of my favorite scenes from the movie. As much of a Raimi fanboy I am, I really love and appreciate the Webb movies as well.
IMO His Spider movements and web effects during the Lizard Fight made him feel so weird- and unnatural, genuinely felt like a CGI Character with no bones
Too bad they made the story unnecessarily convoluted in TASM and ruined the whole franchise. It doesn't matter how smooth the Marvel Spider-Man cgi is when they decided story should be no 1 not the creases in suit
My jaw dropped watching the Japanese Spiderman doing a real swing under that bridge. The lengths these people were willing to go just for their art is incredible.
Some were like that but you also have to take into account how replacable these people were, if you didn't do the crazy stuff they wanted to film then you might just be out on your ass. Blackballing was, and still is, a thing. Companies don't want to hire stunt guys who say no. For all his faults Jackie Chan has a long history of taking it seriously if his stunt people say the risk is too high then he says it has to come out of the movie or he will walk.
It makes sense because Japanese studios during that time weren't really afraid to put their actors at harms way, take for instance the showa ere of Godzilla films, they had multiple incidents during those days and where they would use real explosions beside or strapped to the suit actors
costume design is severely underrated! the raised webbing and logo, the lights shining on the manmade textures, the bits of imperfection are what makes it perfect!
While a regular person _would_ have trouble swinging, they'd most likely lose their grip before their arm would rip off, but Spider-man's super strength is what prevents him from injuring himself during swinging. They even comment on it in TAS when he loses his powers temporarily. He tries swinging and injures himself and says he can't swing without his spider-strength. His body is strong enough to lift 10 tons or more depending on the version, so supporting his own body weight is no problem at all. It's also why he's able to generate so much momentum by kicking his legs out when swinging. Basically like gymnasts do on the bars but with exponentially more energy.
There's also the fact that in the comics (and animated shows and movies at least) he can control what he sticks too with any part of his body so it's kinda impossible for him to lose his grip unless he chooses to
I appreciate the logical explanation to why he can swing but even with super strength spiderman couldn’t work in real life. He would pass out because of how our circulatory systems work compared to spiders. Basically ur brain needs blood and enough downward g force will drain yours of it.

It was the scene that plays over the DVD menu, as well. I remember falling asleep at a friend's house during a sleepover while the movie was on, and when I woke up at like 4am, it was just going on endless loop. I watched it probably a hundred times straight, to the point where I have the whole thing memorized to this day

An indisputable fact. The whole movie has eye candy swinging scenes. The first interaction with electro and that final fight were just so top tier in that movie.
in my opinion, the epitome of spiderman’s web swinging actually came from the spiderverse movies, because those were animated, and thus not limited by real life, but also because the shading and general atmosphere mimics that of the comics’, and they actually get a bunch of classic comic poses for spiderman while swinging, and a few new but absolutely believable poses specifically for miles, like the leap of faith scene.
Also, that each spiderperson generally has a swinging style that goes with their personality/style. Like Miles utilizing more running into his swinging.
@@Navi15 You sure you're not confusing it with Spider-Man 2? Cause TASM2 was enjoyable but disappointing. The fact that I had Spider-Man 2 as the bar and it didn't reach those heights - Doc Ock was a far more compelling villain - says it all for me.
@@TaimaSpider-Man 2 is the best for it's time, hands down. If only the TASM movies had a story like that, it'd be the absolute best.

0:10 Actually spiders do "swing'" from webs, kind of. When their born they'll create a web and blow in the wind till they reach a spot to make their home. Adult siders do it from time to time
Spiders indeed do swing on their webs my friend. Have you never watched them? They make a very long web, then crawl up it to make it longer, then they jump to reach their destination. It’s how cob webs across walkways and sidewalks are made. I’ve even seen spiders use the branches in our trees for momentum. It’s incredible

Yep. Comic book movie makers these days pick up all the goofy things from comic books, but not the essence of the character. Give us the accurate mannerism of the characters. We don't want costumes to be too comic book accurate. We have comics for that. Give us a wolverine who goes full on animalistic berserker rage mode, a cyclops that braces itself before the powerful optic blasts, a Spidey who does make comic book poses.
@@prod.gregupnext2958Which is an MCU movie and not a TASM movie. You're saying that the entire TASM film series failed to make you think it was actually "Amazing" even once, which means it did a pretty poor job.
@@HOTD108_ Yes, I mean for all the praise one scene in that franchise receives they're not good movies, the second in particular was a huge failure. The webslinging is good, but there is clearly more to making a good Spidey film
I watched the first Spider-Man movie when it came out, I was 7, and I want to thank every single person who worked on that movie, and helped shape it into the masterpiece it is.
I'm glad more people are talking about how dang good things like swinging is in the Amazing Spider-Man movies, they were so creative with some of it and it just felt *good*. I especially like the talk how the suit in ASM2 is the best (in many ways but especially) for including the wrinkles and folds and the looseness, I really hate how smooth and fake looking the Tom Holland suits are. It's such a strange choice to cg the entire suit all the time, much like how for the Falcon and Winter Solider show they talked about how they did something similar for taking away the folds in Sam's Cap costume and I was so annoyed, the bts footage before it was "fixed" looked so much better and realistic.
Tom’s suits not having wrinkles actually makes a lot of sense. It isn’t a suit that peter has made like in raimi movies or tasm, but it has been given to him by tony stark, which is tech incorporated. If you remember homecoming, when he wore his suit it was all baggy and wrinkly but then he pressed his chest spider and it was like body fit. And the fabric doesn’t exactly seem like one in which you could get wrinkles. But I bet the suit that we got at the end of nwh would have wrinkles its made by peter, just like the one in beginning of homecoming
Yeah, MCU!Spidey looks like a felt covered mannequin. It's weird that that's supposed to be a modern and high-tech take on the suit in and out of universe - it feels and looks cheap and uninspired. The lack of other textures gets to me most.
The irony of this is that Holland's practical suit looks amazing! It seems they had to redesign for some reason, and the only way to deal with that is to cgi over what had been filmed, and then they just kept doing that...
The Raimi swinging scenes are my personal favorite because i like the wide shots and its just majestic. i love how gorgeous and smooth Spidey swings in those movies. The TASM ones are more realistic, and the close up camera angles do a great job to show off the speed adrenaline. theyre truly beautiful too. The MCU ones… theyre alright. lol
Man I remember seeing Amazing Spider-Man 2 in theaters my senior year, that opening shot of him just immediately sky diving was incredible! The CG really pushed it in that movie, it all was just visually gorgeous from the suit, the scenery, to Emma Stone ;)
"And if they learn a lesson from Even Further back, instead of losing hundreds of millions of dollars, Risk losing a few stunt men instead" Is a wild thing to say not gonna lie Lol.
I mean, that's the job, right? Do the dangerous, possibly deadly stunts that the actors won't, or legally can't? It's literally the main risk of the job. It's why they get paid.
@@MarvNARK trying to make the films tie into future sequels was a nose dive from the start. Imagine how much better the first film would be if the lizard created the mutagenic spider in order to conserve the limited resources that oscorp was thinking of pulling back, and then the spider somehow got loose, and that explains why there's a spider-man making spider with recombinatory serum in its fangs somehow loose in the web room. That also explains Connors desperation to use the serum on himself with no further testing. He was running out of time and resources and had to act fast. The ending of the film is fine, with blank recombinatory serum landing on random New Yorkers possibly to explain for the extreme choice of becoming super villains in the future. As it is, there's some tie in with his parents being super spies who knew about this super spider, and oscorp is responsible for all the supers including Doc Ock... Which is somehow not as interesting and makes the world feel smaller, not like this chaotic universe where anything can happen...
TASM 2 to this day has my favourite spider-man costume and favourite spider-man dialogue. despite everything they messed up with that movie, the Spider-man, the sound track and the CGI was flawless.
@@AlexBoucher You should have wrote that in your script and said it then. If this were a talking head video with you just riffing off the cuff I could forgive it. But it's clearly a scripted and edited video, you had the chance to sanity check this. People are rightfully put off by the way you worded it, regardless of what your intent was.
I have never actually watched The Amazing Spider-Man 1 or 2 but oh my goodness I cannot believe how good that webswinging looks in 2 it puts modern MCU Spider-Man to shame
I really loved the direction they took with cinematography in those films it looks great compared to MCU spider man and Raimi spider man. I do have to say though, I prefer literally everything else about Raimi and MCU spidey. I love Andrew but the writing and directing in the other two trilogies are far superior in my opinion.
TASM 2 swinging will probably never be topped again unless the VFX artist are given time. And also all the coordinators had a clear vision from Marc Webb to make sure it was physics based. The real question is that are the new coordinators that marvel hire willing to push the boundaries and put in the effort to make sure it looks good? Am not so sure I think marvel is practically comfortable with using lazy CG
I think the spiderverse films are a prime example of how creative spidermans swinging, and overall fighting style can be, as they animators arent restricted by realism and practicality. I'de love to see if their talents could be applied to the live action films, as im sure they have had alot more room to experiment.
@@MarvNARK I mean, if people want the comic book poses and the "character" of Spidey as he's swinging, then the creativity is a necessary component, because I'm sure that doing acrobatics isn't the most straightforward or effective way of swinging around.
I'm sure they could make some nice stuff, but they'd be under a different set of restrictions with "real" people, since there's a limit to how much you can deform and bend a character that's supposed to be a real human, so they might employ more camera trickery like different angles to hide some things to make it feel more real.
Absolutely love this video! My one suggestion would’ve been to cover Dan Poole’s stunt work in his fan film “The Green Goblin’s Last Stand” from 1992. He has a making of movie too, definitely worth a watch! He swung from buildings without safety gear simply because his script called for it. Legend
Wow... Just wow... I thought with this much information packed into a video this channel must've been a Spider-man related channel, but it surprised me that you make video essays on a variety of topics. With this much research going into each video I thought you would atleast have a million subs but to my horror you had less than 50k! You deserve wayy more than what you have man, keep these videos up and you'll blow up in no time bro!
0:21 this is just incorrect. Yeah if you have no training and you're a normal joe schmoe going from 0 - 100 off the bat. It's not particularly easy but it's not impossible.
@@damnfk063 Spider-Man us 100x+ the normal strength of humans, impossible for humans, not for spider-man. Some think he's just a normal guy sith spider powers which is just incorrect by a huge margin
it probably wouldn't rip your Arms off especially if you have super strength the real killer is the g forces would suck the blood out of your head and cause you to pass out even people who fly fighter jets would have a problem with the g forced spider man should be expinencing
Listening to corridor crew about CGI, the number one rule to make something look real is to make intentional imperfections, but the Tom Holland suit doesn't have a single one, It's too perfect! The practical shot for the "boat pull" is so much better than the cgi one in the movie!
I hate the phrasing, since it sorta implies the lives and safety of people matters less than the bottom line, but I definitely do think relying more on stunt work would dramatically increase the quality of these scenes. Also locking in pre-pro early so they don't have to make constant changes during production or in post. You don't need to worry about replacing scenes shot with a physical suit with CGI if you finalize that suit in the first place!
@@IAMA1 Agreed, but the phrasing was clearly intentional as a tongue-in-cheek jab to the industry. It's meant to be a joke, not an honest assertion that stuntmen are less valuable than cash lol.
TASM 2 swinging scenes looked like PS4 cutscenes. This guy only used the opening scene for his example because that's probably where they spent the most time on while making the film.
In one of the comics his clone kane lives out in the mid west without any buildings around, so he ends up just running and jumping everywhere or slingshotting himself with his webs.
Also would like to mention that in TASM2, in electro fight scene, the movement of spider man (Even though there was not much swinging) also looked really good
One of the best swinging that they gave tom's spiderman was during the vienna attack, really showed creativity there. Shame that the one spiderman with the most appearance drew the short end of the stick when it came to swinging.
I prefer always the raimi films for their heightened, stylish look. They didn't really need to look "real" because it just was not their style and tones, and allowed them to make creative camera movements such as the camera going out of the reflection in doc ock's glasses.
To this day, my favorite swing style is Tobey's. I know it's not perfect, but the gracefullness paired with the sound score is just so awesome. But without a doubt, that swing from Andrew's spidey is the best. Tom's swinging style still feels... inexperienced. If I was Bane I would say to him "You swing like young man, with nothing held back. Admirable, but mistaken."
One of my main issues with how most scenes look is that Spiderman seems to hit 100+ MPH in an instant. The distances one swing seems to cover is crazy, and when you consider that his attach point can't be super far away if he's going to maintain forward momentum (otherwise he'd be falling as he waits for a long shot to attach), then his web lines should be too short for him to swing super far on one line. The acceleration needs to be built up over several well timed swings, instead of them showing him flying through an entire city block in 2 seconds.
About that intro. I’ve seen spiders swing around on their webs before. Of course they didn’t use their hands or go from one to another but I’ve seen spiders swinging around on a string that made it look like they were flying
0:25 - bro every youtube "science" channel has brought up the fact that "a man cannot swing like that" completely forgetting the fact that Spiderman can lift upwards of 100 tons with his tiny human body...... he is not just "a man"..... and since he is still man-sized/weighted, his arms can most certainly hold the forces that it would put onto his arms from the swinging..... u cant just start trying to "science' comicbook characters and then say 'well its comics, so its all possible" and then at the same time cherry pick which powers you attribute to certain parts of whatever subject matter youre trying to apply to the character
The video: It's impossible for a man to swing like this, it would rip is arm off Also the video: Referring to a fictional man who has superpowers from a radioactive spider
Absolutely incredible how 15:38 is completely CG, Marc Webb's spiderman movies had something special. I would have bet all my money that it was a real shot of Andrew in suit
Finally someone talks about how boring toms swinging is! Literally almost every shot is zoomed in on his face and Zendayas hair, its honestly so boring to watch tom swing😭😭
I’m glad you made this video. Now we have a piece of media that expresses how I’ve felt about my favorite hero lately. Hopefully the Disney or whoever makes the next Spidey film not only takes reference & notes, but makes this part of a Spider-Man film a priority 🕷️
Aside from that end swing in SM (2002), SM2 (2004) really was the movie that, to quote IGN, made you FEEL like Spider-Man, lol. The carelessness of his swinging combined with some innovative shots like Peter passing "through" the truck and the little "woo"'s when he's pulling something more difficult off all made it look so much fun. Garfield's swinging wasn't bad, but it really got lost later with the MCU films..
Sometimes I wonder how films cost $100 million dollars to make. Then I see things like “construct a moving winch trapeze along an entire real life bridge for a stunt Spider-Man to swing around behind while we have dozens of stunt drivers driving underneath, and here’s a spider swing truck rig with human puppeteers.” And it’s like ya, okay, that makes sense now.
I really enjoyed this, definitely gonna go back and look at your earlier stuff! Also, you could've fooled me into thinking this was an alt channel from JLaservideo from how similar you both sound lmao
Spiderman one has the best web swing, the very first swing chasing uncle Ben murderer feels so raw, Tobey makes mistakes and corrects on the fly, you don't see that with the other two spider men.
I mean with the context of the mcu it makes sense that tom hollands spiderman has no wrinkles, cuz its a suite made by ironman which adjusts itself perfectly to the body. Also I agree when I saw that ending animation in no way home I also immediately saw how digital it looks.
The ending could've been used to change the suit functionality a bit since he himself made new suit with least amount of technology he has now...but no...
@@tonuahmed4227 lol. maybe theyll end up changing it again for the real movie. Im pretty sure from all the rumors and leaks that we will only see spiderman again during the next avengers movies, and only in between that there's gonna be a new stand alone spiderman movie

Spiders indeed do swing on their webs my friend. Have you never watched them? They make a very long web, then crawl up it to make it longer, then they jump to reach their destination. It’s how cob webs across walkways and sidewalks are made. I’ve even seen spiders use the branches in our trees for momentum. It’s incredible
I feel like tasm had the perfect mix between human like movements and spider like movements
Too bad the movies were the worst out of all of them

Yep. Comic book movie makers these days pick up all the goofy things from comic books, but not the essence of the character.
Give us the accurate mannerism of the characters. We don't want costumes to be too comic book accurate. We have comics for that.
Give us a wolverine who goes full on animalistic berserker rage mode, a cyclops that braces itself before the powerful optic blasts, a Spidey who does make comic book poses.

@@prod.gregupnext2958 underrated?
the movies grossed close to a billion dollars each
It deserves a trilogy ✅
I watched the first Spider-Man movie when it came out, I was 7, and I want to thank every single person who worked on that movie, and helped shape it into the masterpiece it is.
I'm glad more people are talking about how dang good things like swinging is in the Amazing Spider-Man movies, they were so creative with some of it and it just felt *good*.
I especially like the talk how the suit in ASM2 is the best (in many ways but especially) for including the wrinkles and folds and the looseness, I really hate how smooth and fake looking the Tom Holland suits are. It's such a strange choice to cg the entire suit all the time, much like how for the Falcon and Winter Solider show they talked about how they did something similar for taking away the folds in Sam's Cap costume and I was so annoyed, the bts footage before it was "fixed" looked so much better and realistic.
Some Disney executive is OCD about wrinkles I guess
Tom’s suits not having wrinkles actually makes a lot of sense. It isn’t a suit that peter has made like in raimi movies or tasm, but it has been given to him by tony stark, which is tech incorporated. If you remember homecoming, when he wore his suit it was all baggy and wrinkly but then he pressed his chest spider and it was like body fit. And the fabric doesn’t exactly seem like one in which you could get wrinkles. But I bet the suit that we got at the end of nwh would have wrinkles its made by peter, just like the one in beginning of homecoming
@@dimplegargtgtsc.sambarocha344 The reason why it doesn't have wrinkles just makes it even more lame.
Yeah, MCU!Spidey looks like a felt covered mannequin. It's weird that that's supposed to be a modern and high-tech take on the suit in and out of universe - it feels and looks cheap and uninspired. The lack of other textures gets to me most.
The irony of this is that Holland's practical suit looks amazing! It seems they had to redesign for some reason, and the only way to deal with that is to cgi over what had been filmed, and then they just kept doing that...
The Raimi swinging scenes are my personal favorite because i like the wide shots and its just majestic. i love how gorgeous and smooth Spidey swings in those movies.
The TASM ones are more realistic, and the close up camera angles do a great job to show off the speed adrenaline. theyre truly beautiful too.
The MCU ones… theyre alright. lol
17:16 hey thats me! thanks for the shoutout (and for mentioning that we quit lol)

@@Ten_Thousand_LocustsBecause the director and his friends are scumbags.
Man I remember seeing Amazing Spider-Man 2 in theaters my senior year, that opening shot of him just immediately sky diving was incredible! The CG really pushed it in that movie, it all was just visually gorgeous from the suit, the scenery, to Emma Stone ;)
12:33 can you IMAGINE being a spiderman obsessed kid driving down that road when you see actual spiderman swinging through the cars?

I mean, that's the job, right? Do the dangerous, possibly deadly stunts that the actors won't, or legally can't? It's literally the main risk of the job. It's why they get paid.
i love how Japanese Spider-Man is basically just Super Sentai (Original Power Rangers) but Spider-Man 🤣
You say that, but it's actually the other way around! A lot of the stuff they did in Japanese Spiderman went on to influence Super Sentai.
finally The Amazing Spiderman films are getting some much deserved love and attention
You forgot *more because these movies were still liked, it's just the larger scale of the second movie story to build up future ones was a nosedive
@@MarvNARK trying to make the films tie into future sequels was a nose dive from the start.
Imagine how much better the first film would be if the lizard created the mutagenic spider in order to conserve the limited resources that oscorp was thinking of pulling back, and then the spider somehow got loose, and that explains why there's a spider-man making spider with recombinatory serum in its fangs somehow loose in the web room. That also explains Connors desperation to use the serum on himself with no further testing. He was running out of time and resources and had to act fast. The ending of the film is fine, with blank recombinatory serum landing on random New Yorkers possibly to explain for the extreme choice of becoming super villains in the future.
As it is, there's some tie in with his parents being super spies who knew about this super spider, and oscorp is responsible for all the supers including Doc Ock... Which is somehow not as interesting and makes the world feel smaller, not like this chaotic universe where anything can happen...
I liked Andrew Garfield, but he was held back by bad writing and narrative choices.
TASM movies are absolute garbage, and shouldn't be getting any attention.
@@gamephreak5 Found the deluded Maguire fanboy.
TASM 2 to this day has my favourite spider-man costume and favourite spider-man dialogue. despite everything they messed up with that movie, the Spider-man, the sound track and the CGI was flawless.
spiderman has powers, that's why his arm doesn't rip off
i think his point about arms getting ripped off was more about how there's no way to get any real world references
I meant if a real human attempted to swing through buildings the way Spider-Man does, his arms would rip off.
@@AlexBoucher You should have wrote that in your script and said it then. If this were a talking head video with you just riffing off the cuff I could forgive it. But it's clearly a scripted and edited video, you had the chance to sanity check this. People are rightfully put off by the way you worded it, regardless of what your intent was.
no shit
@@ChristianAkacro chill its not that deep
Adding the spider man pizza theme to the background was a stroke of genius.
I love how Funiculi Funicula is basically the Spider-Man 2 theme song at this point
I have never actually watched The Amazing Spider-Man 1 or 2 but oh my goodness I cannot believe how good that webswinging looks in 2 it puts modern MCU Spider-Man to shame
I really loved the direction they took with cinematography in those films it looks great compared to MCU spider man and Raimi spider man. I do have to say though, I prefer literally everything else about Raimi and MCU spidey. I love Andrew but the writing and directing in the other two trilogies are far superior in my opinion.
TASM 2 swinging will probably never be topped again unless the VFX artist are given time.
And also all the coordinators had a clear vision from Marc Webb to make sure it was physics based.
The real question is that are the new coordinators that marvel hire willing to push the boundaries and put in the effort to make sure it looks good?
Am not so sure
I think marvel is practically comfortable with using lazy CG
Risk losing a few stuntmen was a wild thing to say 😂
Stuntman sacrifices are a small price to pay for salvation

@@darthvader6088 ahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I think the spiderverse films are a prime example of how creative spidermans swinging, and overall fighting style can be, as they animators arent restricted by realism and practicality. I'de love to see if their talents could be applied to the live action films, as im sure they have had alot more room to experiment.
really no need for creativity when the straightforward stuff will do but yes that is a very good assumption, even though it still is an assumption
@@MarvNARK I mean, if people want the comic book poses and the "character" of Spidey as he's swinging, then the creativity is a necessary component, because I'm sure that doing acrobatics isn't the most straightforward or effective way of swinging around.
I'm sure they could make some nice stuff, but they'd be under a different set of restrictions with "real" people, since there's a limit to how much you can deform and bend a character that's supposed to be a real human, so they might employ more camera trickery like different angles to hide some things to make it feel more real.
Kinda crazy that I also remember the impact of seeing the wrinkles in TASM 2, but didn't know everyone else liked it too!

nothing beats seeing the original trilogy spiderman swing maybe it’s nostalgia talking but i love it
Props on the director for doing the swing himself
Absolutely love this video!
My one suggestion would’ve been to cover Dan Poole’s stunt work in his fan film “The Green Goblin’s Last Stand” from 1992. He has a making of movie too, definitely worth a watch! He swung from buildings without safety gear simply because his script called for it. Legend
Wow... Just wow... I thought with this much information packed into a video this channel must've been a Spider-man related channel, but it surprised me that you make video essays on a variety of topics. With this much research going into each video I thought you would atleast have a million subs but to my horror you had less than 50k! You deserve wayy more than what you have man, keep these videos up and you'll blow up in no time bro!
0:21 this is just incorrect. Yeah if you have no training and you're a normal joe schmoe going from 0 - 100 off the bat. It's not particularly easy but it's not impossible.
At low speeds Joe schmoe can do it right away. At high speeds you'd have to be Spider Man to not get a dislocation or damage from repeated stress.
Film theory already proved you'd get severely injured

@@damnfk063 Spider-Man us 100x+ the normal strength of humans, impossible for humans, not for spider-man. Some think he's just a normal guy sith spider powers which is just incorrect by a huge margin
it probably wouldn't rip your Arms off especially if you have super strength the real killer is the g forces would suck the blood out of your head and cause you to pass out even people who fly fighter jets would have a problem with the g forced spider man should be expinencing
Once you notice the prop body, you can't unnotice it
Listening to corridor crew about CGI, the number one rule to make something look real is to make intentional imperfections, but the Tom Holland suit doesn't have a single one, It's too perfect! The practical shot for the "boat pull" is so much better than the cgi one in the movie!
In terms of swinging style
No. 1 - TASM Spidey
No. 2 - Raimi Spidey
No. 3 - MilesMorales
No. 4 - MCU Spidey
“Risk a few stuntman” is crazy. But hey, if it gets us TASM 2 levels of swinging or even better. It was all worth it. 💀💀💀
Thank youuuuu
I hate the phrasing, since it sorta implies the lives and safety of people matters less than the bottom line, but I definitely do think relying more on stunt work would dramatically increase the quality of these scenes.
Also locking in pre-pro early so they don't have to make constant changes during production or in post. You don't need to worry about replacing scenes shot with a physical suit with CGI if you finalize that suit in the first place!
@@IAMA1 Agreed, but the phrasing was clearly intentional as a tongue-in-cheek jab to the industry. It's meant to be a joke, not an honest assertion that stuntmen are less valuable than cash lol.
TASM 2 swinging scenes looked like PS4 cutscenes. This guy only used the opening scene for his example because that's probably where they spent the most time on while making the film.
@@cxssetteman182PS4 insomniac copied tasm web swinging just show how good tasm web swinging compared to your shitty fav
In one of the comics his clone kane lives out in the mid west without any buildings around, so he ends up just running and jumping everywhere or slingshotting himself with his webs.
Also would like to mention that in TASM2, in electro fight scene, the movement of spider man (Even though there was not much swinging) also looked really good
High-level video dude, great job!
Thank you for this. This is a real documentary, and I can not praise it enough.
The TASM movies had the best swinging scenes of all time. I really hope all the future movies takes inspiration from those scenes.

I really like how insighful this video. Great job. Keep it up!
I think people tend to forget he’s not a normal human being. Like on the thumbnail the bad labeled swinging makes sense if he got super strength.
Supaidaman (the Japanese spiderman) is just iconic every time you see him you just gotta shout his name and phrases
One of the best swinging that they gave tom's spiderman was during the vienna attack, really showed creativity there. Shame that the one spiderman with the most appearance drew the short end of the stick when it came to swinging.
I prefer always the raimi films for their heightened, stylish look. They didn't really need to look "real" because it just was not their style and tones, and allowed them to make creative camera movements such as the camera going out of the reflection in doc ock's glasses.
To this day, my favorite swing style is Tobey's. I know it's not perfect, but the gracefullness paired with the sound score is just so awesome. But without a doubt, that swing from Andrew's spidey is the best. Tom's swinging style still feels... inexperienced. If I was Bane I would say to him "You swing like young man, with nothing held back. Admirable, but mistaken."
One of my main issues with how most scenes look is that Spiderman seems to hit 100+ MPH in an instant. The distances one swing seems to cover is crazy, and when you consider that his attach point can't be super far away if he's going to maintain forward momentum (otherwise he'd be falling as he waits for a long shot to attach), then his web lines should be too short for him to swing super far on one line. The acceleration needs to be built up over several well timed swings, instead of them showing him flying through an entire city block in 2 seconds.
About that intro. I’ve seen spiders swing around on their webs before. Of course they didn’t use their hands or go from one to another but I’ve seen spiders swinging around on a string that made it look like they were flying
18:31 WHAT?!?!!!!😂
this was incredibly well made, the amount of research that had to be done for all the interesting details, well done!!
0:25 - bro every youtube "science" channel has brought up the fact that "a man cannot swing like that" completely forgetting the fact that Spiderman can lift upwards of 100 tons with his tiny human body...... he is not just "a man"..... and since he is still man-sized/weighted, his arms can most certainly hold the forces that it would put onto his arms from the swinging..... u cant just start trying to "science' comicbook characters and then say 'well its comics, so its all possible" and then at the same time cherry pick which powers you attribute to certain parts of whatever subject matter youre trying to apply to the character
No likes and comments from this? Let me change dat
The video: It's impossible for a man to swing like this, it would rip is arm off
Also the video: Referring to a fictional man who has superpowers from a radioactive spider
Absolutely incredible how 15:38 is completely CG, Marc Webb's spiderman movies had something special. I would have bet all my money that it was a real shot of Andrew in suit
Finally someone talks about how boring toms swinging is! Literally almost every shot is zoomed in on his face and Zendayas hair, its honestly so boring to watch tom swing😭😭
I’m glad you made this video. Now we have a piece of media that expresses how I’ve felt about my favorite hero lately. Hopefully the Disney or whoever makes the next Spidey film not only takes reference & notes, but makes this part of a Spider-Man film a priority 🕷️
*Disney executives furiously taking notes watching some guy’s video essay
Aside from that end swing in SM (2002), SM2 (2004) really was the movie that, to quote IGN, made you FEEL like Spider-Man, lol. The carelessness of his swinging combined with some innovative shots like Peter passing "through" the truck and the little "woo"'s when he's pulling something more difficult off all made it look so much fun. Garfield's swinging wasn't bad, but it really got lost later with the MCU films..
With great budget, comes expectations.
Each passing day more people realize how underappreciated TASM were
Amazing video. You hooked me in from the start. I have a newfound appreciation for Raimi’s Spider-Man. It broke CGI barriers.
can we just appreciate how well all of this is made. wether some are worse than others, or not. their all great. we should appreciate them for that
“Risk loosing a few stuntmen instead” Bro 🤣
Sometimes I wonder how films cost $100 million dollars to make.
Then I see things like “construct a moving winch trapeze along an entire real life bridge for a stunt Spider-Man to swing around behind while we have dozens of stunt drivers driving underneath, and here’s a spider swing truck rig with human puppeteers.”
And it’s like ya, okay, that makes sense now.
I really enjoyed this, definitely gonna go back and look at your earlier stuff!
Also, you could've fooled me into thinking this was an alt channel from JLaservideo from how similar you both sound lmao
Spiderman one has the best web swing, the very first swing chasing uncle Ben murderer feels so raw, Tobey makes mistakes and corrects on the fly, you don't see that with the other two spider men.
I mean with the context of the mcu it makes sense that tom hollands spiderman has no wrinkles, cuz its a suite made by ironman which adjusts itself perfectly to the body. Also I agree when I saw that ending animation in no way home I also immediately saw how digital it looks.
The ending could've been used to change the suit functionality a bit since he himself made new suit with least amount of technology he has now...but no...
@@tonuahmed4227 lol. maybe theyll end up changing it again for the real movie. Im pretty sure from all the rumors and leaks that we will only see spiderman again during the next avengers movies, and only in between that there's gonna be a new stand alone spiderman movie
A 20 minute deep dive into Spiderman's web swinging? This is what TH-cam was made for.
“With each character retaining their unique swinging behavior” 16:48 I like how Tom’s Spider-Man is the only one not striking a pose
