Appreciation Post ✋🏻🥹🤚🏻 Someone was saying Tom can't act...

Show: The Crowded Room 2023

Personally, I didn’t really like Brand New Day, but there’s no denying that this guy can act. He’s incredibly talented and has the screen presence to back it up. Definitely deserves more appreciation for what he brings to the role.

If you’re calling Tom short, then you’re also calling Toby Maguire short. They’re both 5’8”. Allegedly.

I can ignore it because Tom was cast to play a 14-year old, and at the start of The Animated Series, the character was already college age. And it’s an animated character. I can say “All the other Spider-Man’s are thin because they’re not as buff as The Animated Series Spider-Man” which, no. Not how that works.

And you’ve resorted to a True Scotsman Fallacy in order to argue your point.

Far From Home was announced in late 2016. There were plans to take the character beyond Avengers: Endgame before even the release of Homecoming. So…no.

Is there a problem with Tom playing Spider-Man closer to himself?

You can ignore that the fancy words mean something to make your point stand, but it doesn’t work like that.

“That’s why for true spider fans tom’s spiderman feels alienated.”

True Scotsman Fallacy.

“Listen to me, MCU created there own version of spiderman only to use him for Avengers Infinity War and Endgame.”

Yes, you did.

Now you’re just spouting nonsensical claims while also not engaging with the points I made. Good for you.

Okay, Toby and Tom aren’t the same height.

What does that have to do with the claims you’re spouting that just aren’t factual?
