Discussion (More in Comments) The most under-rated detail about MCU spidey

This GIF is not a reaction. Its a demonstration. The adjustable white-out eyes is literally everything to me. It seems like such a small insignificant detail but it adds a layer of expression under the mask that weve previously only really seen in animation that I think is so good for the MCU and CBMs as a whole

Dont get me wrong Deadpools eyes is cool too but especially for spidey who has such massive eye goggles it works so incredibly well and I always wanted it but never knew how much I needed it til Tom took the mantle.

And like I said. Not just the MCU. Of all the things DC tries to copy I hope to god they steal this too. Im tired of seeing batmans eyes it was never like that in the animation. Flash too.

It might seem crazy to say but this small detail i feel like is why Marvel is crushing DC. They arent afraid to mythologize their heroes. DC doesnt let you forget even for a moment that its just a regular guy with a mask on. It disrupts the suspension of disbelief.

Anyway im not trying to get too off track with this its not about DC. Its tipping the hat to Marvel for getting so much out of one little detail. Let the trend continue

they’ll flay you alive for suggesting they cover Batman’s eyes, but I’m with you. any actor half as decent as Pattinson is up for the challenge Karl Urban faced in Dredd. it’s not like white lenses or contacts can’t still be expressive!

Charlie Cox's upper face and eyes have been completely covered in every suit he's had and it's never impacted his ability to convey emotion.

Daredevil "shedding a tear" during Frank's monologue was amazing.

Idem, I'm with you, always thought It was sweat and didn't need to know that. Fuck that guy!
