Should Ben Schwartz replace Andrew Garfield in Sam Raimi's upcoming Spider-Man Spider-Verse Movie?

Compare it with this exchange from the original Amazing Spider-Man and I think you'll find some uncanny similarities:

I maintain it's funny if you're familiar with the discussion surrounding The Amazing Spider-Man film on then-videogame-now-white supremacist website circa 2012. I'm beginning to realise it's a niche audience. You didn't even like the phrase "Spider-Cum" though? That's broad.
Why the fuck would I want to replace him? The only reason why this potential multiverse Spider-Man meet up is so interesting and will blow the internet is because of the 3 original Spider-Man actors from their own Spider-Man movie universes meeting each other.
What the hell is this thread?
Humorous weekend threads need to be aware they are weekend threads, and the humor has to be at the expense of the OP. OP needs to know this, and frame their insanity in such a way that generates discussion and makes people leave the thread feeling better because it's funny or they learned something. You can't exclaim it is funny yourself—people have to agree that they get the joke or offbeat humor. You can't automatically jump into defense mode because it fell flat. 🤦🏻‍♂️
I do like Spider-Man though.

You have honestly put more thought into this than I have and I wrote a page and a half of a fake film script. I'm sorry if my posts about how much I liked Silence came over as defensive; I honestly didn't actually like it that much.
"The following is a list of my loved ones" got a chuckle out of me to be frank. :)
JUST to humor anyone up for an actual talk though,
- I don't believe the next Spider-Man film will be a Spider-Verse thing
- If it is, I DEMAND Garfield, 'cause apart from the horrendous script (or lack thereof) I legitimately liked his Parker way more than Maguire's.

I'm glad!
To be genuine, I've had a pretty awful time since I posted this thread and I think much of that is on me for both not being prepared for typical forum combativeness and for then responding to and encouraging it. At the start, I honestly thought it was funny and most people would realise that it was a joke and - less understandably - parse my criticism of The Amazing Spider-Man films. Oddly, I didn't learn from my experience from posting a similar thread about Jurassic World, though that seemed to have a higher ratio of posters who "got" it. It's my fault for being obtuse and weird I guess.
The only instance where I think I was roughly handled was that Babadook meme, which I think is frankly ableist if you dig into it at all. I don't think the poster necessarily intended that but that's the obvious subtext.
At any rate, I'll be logging off now, as I'm no longer in the mood - as much as I ever was. I hope everyone has a good rest of the day and enjoys the next Spider-Man film when it comes out.
I applaud OP for a vintage taste, if a bit coarse.

The fact so many people believe this thread isn't parody is blowing my mind right now, satire is truly dead
I'm with you OP, the script was clearly amazing. It's no surprise people are convinced it's the real deal. Which it obviously is.
I was about to write two paragraphs on this before I realized this was a weekendEra thread posted on a Tuesday.
Is this actually a thing, intentional weekendEra threads? I thought the whole point of Era's insanity was that it just happened.
.....It's more fun that way anyway. :U

My thoughts exactly. It's only Tuesday, can't process this just yet lol
Uh-Green Golbin is the WOOOOORST!
Aunt May I had to go to that wrestling match because technically we are HOMELESS!

Garfield was not the reason that the ASM movies were lackluster. Dude was perfectly good in the role. Hell I like him better than Maguire.
I seem to be missing some factual information that would make this thread somewhat understandable.
I think this thread was ultimately redeemed by the number of people who clearly didn't actually read the OP, or they did and thought it was serious. Their responses made me chuckle, so thank you for this fine Tuesday gift OP.
Nah lol, I can't really see the connection. Ben Schwartz is great, probably a big part of the reason I enjoyed Sonic. He should definitely get more work.
