    I always read symbiote spider man in this movie as Parker with the confidence to act how he thought would be cool. And he thought it would be cool to answer the phone in an unexpected way.

    saying “shalom” or “namastey” or “hola” as a non-native speaker was an irritating “hip” thing to do when that movie came out, and that’s a scene where Peter Parker is trying repeatedly to be “hip” and failing spectacularly.

    Ya know, given recent events, certain people have made me aware that I often say shalom, call my baby daughter “bubby” and use other words like “schlep” and “schvitzing,” as though Yiddish was evil. They are, of course, assholes.

    Natural, I’ll continue to use those words because I was raised on Mel Brooks movies, especially Men in Tights, which is a goddamn classic.

      Yiddish and Hebrew are far older than and used by those who don’t support current events. It’s like the German language getting demonized in the US (and probably elsewhere) around the world wars; the language didn’t do anything, but people make assumptions of the speakers of those languages.

          “Bubbe” only meant grandmother originally. The “baby” meaning almost certainly comes from it being a false cognate with the English word.

    I could have sworn I watched this but I don’t remember the plot of the movie, let alone whatever this is. I feel like the only thing I remember from it was him telling the girl to make him different cookies.

    My takeaway from bad Peter’s sad attempt at being cool and edgy? A jazz bar dance? Strutting? But if you think about it, this Peter was raised by a very elderly May and Ben . His idea of hip music is the swing jazz that Ben could have played, his idea of cool is May and Ben watching old James Dean movies. This Peter is an absolute dork, even when he’s trying to be cool
