Movies in General

Free broadcast TV is the most restrictive. Cable you can used more curse words and partial nudity. Premium cable you can do anything basically with only one's own tastes that holds it back.

There was a story recently where the creator of the Vikings TV series on the History Channel criticized Game of Thrones for violence. Has he seen his own show? He glorifies a people that in any other case if they weren't the protagonists would be seen as evil. Just because he's on basic cable and he can't be as graphic whether it's nudity or violence, he romanticizes people he depicts who in practice are not anywhere near being good people.

Hollywood will get it wrong if they think that by slapping an "R" rated sequel to an existing comic movie will improve their success similar to Deadpool, they will be sadly wrong. Deadpool (I haven't seen it yet) success was due to the movie maker staying TRUE to the comic book stories. No PC pampering in that movie.

First, comic book based movies have held R ratings before. Blade, Judge Dredd, The Punisher and Spawn. The reson DP got an R was not a gimmick it was being somewhat loyal to the source material. (I say somewhat because being blunt DP comics could easily go NC17).
So often Hollywood super hero films have for the most part been watered down. They have allowed brief flashes of fights but mixed them with physical comedy, avoided actual moral grey zones like the training of adolescent sidekicks occasionally recasting them like Chris O'Donnell a adult playing a character that is supposed to be a adolescent.
They have avoided the hard stories in favor of fluff.
But then came The Dark Knight trilogy and the X-Man films that started actually pushing hard stories.

Finally, Spiderman joins the league but is he a bad guy?

Spidey looks CG. The eye are to the least.

Only thing I am not really digging from the trailer is spidey's looks. It is a new take though. I think that they'll give some b.s. excuse on how the "emoting" lense helps him auto target.

Is it just me, or does Spidey sound like Tobey Maguire?

He's not the only one. Vision, Ironman and War machine, ant man and Black Panther are wearing motion capture suits with CGI suits.
The eyes may emote which tracks back to the comic. In this case I suspect that the explanation for the eyes. Is that Peter used his love of Photography to influence his Spiderman suit. The eyes function with a shutter mechanism like a camera, any emotion will have to do with there shutters being controlled by sensors on Parkers face tracking his eye movements meant to augment his eyesight in low light.

The
actor is not Toby Maguire however neither the actor who just had the last run of Sony Spiderman films.

Actually, even the iron man suit is a composite of physical prop and CGI. I recall images of a "pant less" (green spandex) iron man strolling along the age of ultron set.
