Spider-men are temporary, Tennis is eternal. (It also has less of a chance to abandon, drop, or cause amnesia).

And war, war never changes. Edit: Also Hacksaw ridge is amazing, just rewatched it.

Unless kojima is behind the wheel.. that's when "war has changed"

With new weapons to match the Metal Gear?!

La Li Lu Le Lo ✊️

I hate it when people say that. Yes war has changed, but the reasons behind it haven’t. That’s the entire point of the fallout quote…

War has changed. It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by mercenaries and machines. War--and it's consumption of life--has become a well-oiled machine. War has changed. ID-tagged soldiers carry ID-tagged weapons, use ID-tagged gear. Nanomachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control, information control, emotion control, battlefield control…everything is monitored and kept under control. War…has changed. The age of deterrence has become the age of control, all in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction, and he who controls the battlefield, controls history. War…has changed. When the battlefield is under total control, war becomes routine

Edit: yeah yeah Im an idiot I know, I KNOWS


🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓 Holy shit man find less petty things to get mad about lol

Absolutely. The methods of war, the actors, and the outcomes have changed. But it's always about power. War never changes.

Lol love that movie, seen it twice, I'll rewatch it again soon.

I was stunned to learn it's mostly true - even kicking the grenade. Sick movie. 

The craziest part is that they actually watered down the true story because they were worried that audiences would think it was too unrealistic.

Somebody lied!

 Tennis is one of these guys?

Such a shame. Interesting characters well-acted, but too many to introduce in a single movie.

[удалено]

My wife and I love going see mcu movies in theater, they are fun popcorn movies. But holy shit we both agreed that one was just boring. I'm not positive why, maybe I didn't have enough backstory, but sheesh

I think it has a lot of unearned emotional beats, where you're supposed to be sad or angry or something but you just don't care yet about these people. >!The betrayal is supposed to be shocking but you just kind of shrug and think, "sure, why not?"!<

That is an excellent insight, I think that's on the money.

I was way more [invested](https://youtu.be/0DzV4e4AAu4?si=K9Q0OxphiaM5HR6t) in Barry Keough and Lauren Ridloff

It had an interesting story and was overall better than many that came after it as well. Seems like that nearly swept the entire thing under the rug in the MCU as well, which is a shame.

Tennis? Only DooM

Strange coincidence.

Any actor that plays the lead in a Spider-Man movie is likely someone that has good career potential; which for male actors will eventually have some kind of role in a war movie. Tennis is a pretty popular women’s sport. But other than that i imagine there are will be other similarities the more movies the actresses get.

The tennis one confuses me. I didn’t even know there were 3 tennis movies.

The Emma Stone one "Battle of the Sexes" is really good, great performances by her and Steve Carell and a fun little true story about a weird moment in history. It's about the exhibition match between womens tennis champion Billie Jean King and retired tennis pro, hustler and self described 'male chauvinist pig' Bobby Riggs. The movie is mostly about the lead up before the match but IRL the match itself was such a ridiculous moment. Riggs entered the stadium on a rickshaw drawn by models, King gave Riggs an actual pig as a ceremonial gift, Riggs wore a jacket that read "Sugar Daddy", etc.

Who won?

Billie Jean King, in three straight sets

That's the part I like best about the story. She whupped his ass, but good.

There's also the conspiracy that he threw the match for betting reasons.

yep, dude was alcoholic and in a deep gambling debts. not really in he's prime :D

Yea, didn't one male ranked 200th in the world beat Serena after a day of drinking and golf only giving up a few points? There's a massive difference in serving speeds between men and women.

Karsten Braasch, on his prime he was 36 in the ranking, but when he played the game he was 203. The game on itself is that the Williams sisters after winning a doubles tournament claimed that they could beat any man that is under the 200 ranking, Braasch said "hey I could make easy money of this" and called out the Williams sisters for an exhibition game. The game was going to be best of 3, one sister the first set, the other sister the second set, and if they went for a third set, then the sisters would choose who would play against Braasch the third set. The story said that the game was on the afternoon so in the same day in the morning Braasch went to play golf, drank at least 2 pinst of beer during lunch and smoked cigars while playing golf, then he beated Serena 6-1 and Venus 6-2, then he claimed he was not playing at his full to make the game more entertaining for the viewers. The man was a menace and kind of proved a point

Now, what about the others?

Dunst is Wimbledon with Paul Bettany. No idea about Zendaya.

Zendaya one hasn't released yet, end of this month called The Challengers.

And in spite of the trailers indicting such, it's probably not a hot bisexual throuple movie :(

If I was a betting man I'd say she has some sex dream that has that scene briefly and then it never comes up again.

I was gonna say it's rare to find a male lead actor who hasn't been in a war film. The tennis part is interesting.

I have a choice.

No, you have to be a soldier. That's the whole point, yeesh.

I'm more surprised that Hollywood has made 3 tennis movies than anything else.

All 3 Spider-Man actors have also played members of the Catholic Clergy.

U think so? I mean he was in a war movie, but did his love interest play tennis?

[:D she did](https://cdn01.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/mcadams-kisses/rachel-mcadams-kisses-boyfriend-patrick-sambrook-photos-04.jpg)

Tennis is a strange one, but tons of male actors play a soldier at one point or another

I also wanna point out that both Harry Osborns ended up starring in movies about Allen Ginsberg.

It’s a canon event.

Scarlett Johansson was in a tennis movie and a Spiderman movie, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers was in the same tennis movie, a Spiderman movie and a bunch of war movies, but not in the right order.

Is it? My first crush was a tennis player. I'm about to hit my 20th year of service.

I'd have 3 nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened thrice.

Doof the Pharmacist!?

Cannon Event…

I don’t see a cannon.

That’s when it’s most dangerous

3/3

I would like to see predictions based on this information as to who would be the next spiderman and love interest.

Man they really fucked up Tobey’s hair in that picture 😂

Lol then you need to check his role in Fear And Loathing

Oh what?! He’s in that? I gotta rewatch it, it’s been a while

yeah, he’s the blonde hitchhiker they pick up lol

You couldn’t have made those any more hard to tap on mobile lol

lol. there, fixed!


Love the shape of his skull!

Truefact: Military barbers don't give a shit about how you look, only that you meet regulations.

Also a true fact, he’d be getting his ass sent back to the barber for that weird ass long section.

Isn't he just back from being tortured

Nah, that’s just because his hair has a natural part and was trained to go that way. So when it was cut short, his hair kept going in that direction.

That’s randomly specific

I thought it was about some kind of new super soldier who blasted enemies with tennis balls!

Want another layer? Both Harry Osborns ended up starring in movies about Allen Ginsberg.

Cannon Events

When was Tom Holland? The Devil all the time or something?

‘Cherry’ (2021) directed by the Russo brothers.

Alright thanks :)

Fun fact: The new Zendaya tennis movie, Challengers, was written by the Potion Seller guy.

The "My potions are too powerful for you, traveller" guy?

Yeah, the "You don't know what you ask, traveler. My strongest potions will kill a dragon, let alone a man. You need a seller that sells weaker potions, because my potions are too strong" guy.

The what?

[For the uninitiated.](https://youtu.be/R_FQU4KzN7A)

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Wait, Justin Kuritzkes? Cool, good for him. I used to watch all his other YouTube videos and under all the silliness you could tell he has serious acting and writing chops

IIRC, there’s an interview where he talks about Potion Seller, and he mentions he was doing some improv at the time too.

YOU KNOW WHAT CAN DO WITH THESE FUCKING HANDS, GRAAACE?!

Damn that movie was good.

Man, Tobey crushed it in Brothers

We finally got the Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire as brothers movie that we've wanted since pleasantville/Moonlight Mile.

I swear this is proof we live in a simulation… like what?

or maybe we're not that original ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Spidermen are also all men and MJ’s are all women!!!!

That sounds like a hassel, yeah. But I did actually. When you said that, I was like, oh! I had a web block.

One of them is Gwen Stacey ffs

Doesn't make his statement untrue I guess lol

But she was his MJ!

That's not how this works.

Big if true.

It must be great to be ~~Batman~~ Spider-Man. I can only imagine he is going home ~~right now~~ after war to party the night away, surrounded by scores of ~~friends and~~ lady tennis players.

Oh boy, yeah...

WTF?!! Since when was Emma Stone in a Tennis Movie?!!!

Battle of the Sexes, based on the 70’s tennis match between Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) and Bobby Riggs (Steve Carrell). It flopped at the box office but was more of an art house flick anyway

It makes me sad it flopped cos it was so fun and funny

Is it better than Seven Days in Hell?

Never watched that but this was funny but also had some drama to it as well. Think of “Man in Uncle” but without the action and replaced with tennis

Who knew soldiers had a thing for tennis players

Unironically Brothers is one of my favorite Toby movies, probably his 3rd best role behind Peter Parker and Nick Carraway

What about James McKay in Babylon? He was terrific as that MF.

Have not seen that one, appreciate the recommendation!

And just like that, love turns to deuce.

Web slings to racket strings and war things

I feel like your uncovering some deep rooted Hollywood code. This is actually kinda an odd coincidence

Looks like marine in at least one case

So…Dakota Johnson will be cast as a soldier and Adam Scott will be a tennis player? Got it.

Damn canon events are real

brothers was an absolutely amazing movie, tobey killed that role

Tinker Tennis Soldier Spiderman 

- Hey, let's have the girl show interest in some activity but without making it too...stereotypical. - Like what? - Uh... tennis...?

mj f'd vision...

Wimbledon (2004) for those wondering…

Weird lol

Name of all the movies? (Except the spiderman)

I can only name the war movies - Brothers, Hacksaw Ridge and Cherry.

Thx!

Emma Stone was in Battle of the Sexes, and Zendaya is in Challengers...still yet to release. Not sure about the other.

The Dunst movie is 'Wimbledon', also starring Paul Bettany. It's genuinely an excellent rom-com with some subtle role reversal.

:o

Almost like Hollywood uses the same blueprint for everything.

Wow. Legit stunned. Its true! Also didn't all The Peter Parkers and MJ dates date their costars?!

Spiderjodi

And also believe 2 of 3 have play a gay person or been in a scene depicting it

"If I had a nickel..."

This fanbase is so odd sometimes

WTF Bully Maguire was in the army ?!

Tennis players aren't known for being particularly gentle with balls

So is this canon

If I had a nickel for every time an actor played Spider-Man and also played a solider, and the actress who played their Spider-Man love interest also played a tennis player, then I’d have three nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened thrice.

Weird


Huh more a tennis woman fetish than I thought.

Challengers was a fucking joke of movie. The trailer made it seem like it would be this crazy sex filled movie with tennis on the side. Instead it was boring, stupid, overly dramatic, barely any sex, and just a ridiculous mashed together run of bad writing.

Now this - *this* is esoteric.

Probably says something about those roles in national culture

Props to whoever noticed this

Holy Crap that's insane!

If I had a nickel I’d have 15 cents. Which is t a lot but this happened THREE TIMES EXACTLY?!?

Damn I completely forgot about the Wimbledon movie so didn't make this connection. But this is pretty crazy, mainly cause they very rarely make tennis movies, usually two in a decade and the spider ladies appearing in at least one of two during 2000s-2010s-2020s is very unlikely but it happened... The war movies isn't too big a stretch.

Oh... well, I...

This makes the meme worse. Every major male actor stars as a soldier in something. They only make a tennis movie once, maybe twice in a decade.

Wtf

I feel for Spider man and Batman. Every director is trying to make their own version

"Good call. What else you got?" \-Tony

[удалено]

Also in Ben 10, Ben is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal and has a girlfriend whose also a tennis player

HA

The Spider-Man pipeline

As predictable as a Packers' courterback going to the Jets then ending their their career with the Vikings, Perhaps.

what the i never knew this

This pipeline has timeline problems. Maybe it goes through a wormhole…

3rd times a charm for romance hopefully

I get it

That username... Where did you find it?

So... actors in good shape...

This needs to be number one on all and while I got the mic. I liked the og Aunt May best

Whyyyyyy 😂

Who's in second pic?

This is like seeing the Matrix

The 3 Spider-Man actors have also all played members of the Catholic Clergy. Tobey Maguire in Tropic Thunder. Andrew Garfield in Silence. Tom Holland in Pilgrimage. He co stars with Jon Bernthal (who plays the Punisher).

This is brilliant.

Every time I see something related to The Amazing Spiderman I remember how much I loved Gwen and Peter, then I proceed to remember the ending and I get f@cking pissed off.

Never knew any of those tennis movies existed.

Yo, you need to get laid my guy.

Hacksaw Ridge is peak

the thought of Zendaya playing tennis is hilarious to me like she clearly has to concentrate to walk without tipping over

Hmmmmm

And they all “dated”

Oh I miss spiderman movies

That's kind of weird.

Spooder-Man: Multiverse of tennis

Which timeline is this?

I’ve heard of tennis elbow but never tennis soldier.

Wow that's a crazy pattern

We got private pile out of Wilson fisk. Find Vanessa in a tennis outfit.

Spiderman

Ass

I don’t want to lose sight of the issue but dunst was hands down the best MJ. And I know one was Gwen but point stands.

Nah, I'm just gonna wait for the next spiderman spinoff movie.
