Frank would’ve been in the next room with a gun to his own head the second those monitors flatlined. MCU really almost gave us the most devastating ‘I threatened to kill the kid’ payoff of all time.
a montage of all the different times ilya opts out of a cents after hours invite and it cuts to him either driving to montreal or opening his front door for shane. send tweet.
tom holland is actually the perfect guy for spider-man, the personality, the looks, the humor, the awkwardness, and the overall friendly energy that spider-man has, and he literally exuded all those in brand new day, he’s phenomenal.
the wrinkles, the ears, visible eyes, the way the mask gets sucked into the mouth
god it feels like an actual costume and not like a high quality super hero suit
its perfect.
and when the fanmail leaks and there's a montage of every single character seeing it and dramatically reacting in a parallel to the skip kiss, cut to hollanov obliviously cuddled in bed together not knowing a thing and theyre woken up by hayden frantically ringing the doorbell
if you think either one of hollanov are the villain or are worse than the other in tlg, you missed the point. they’re both flawed, they both made mistakes, they both struggle with communication, they both deserve grace, they both love each other more than life itself. full stop.
apart from hollanov, i think i'm most excited to see ilya hang out with shane's parents without shane being there, and realising he's got a brand new family that loves him no matter what. like that's a mama's boy and yuna is going to make sure he knows they're there for him 😭
one of the things i'm most excited about in season 2 of heated rivalry is the developing relationship between yuna and ilya, and i cannot wait to see how christina and connor bring it to screen because i know it will be even more perfect than we imagined
still cant believe im going to see shane hollander scrolling through ilya’s instagram which is basically filled with photos related to shane, crying and panicking bc they had a fight and ilya hasnt replied to his message even though its only been 20 minutes
Frank's reaction absolutely broke me.
In that moment, he truly believes he's killed one of the few genuinely good people he's ever met. Peter was everything Frank wishes his own children could have grown up to be a young man who only wanted to do good, someone whose soul hadn't been consumed by violence like his own.
That's what makes Frank and Spider-Man so different for each other
Frank has always seen Matt Murdock as a hypocrite. Not because Matt isn't strong enough to kill, but because he's constantly tempted to cross that line while still claiming the moral high ground. Frank believes they're not so different deep down.
But Peter...
Peter is always different.
He doesn't fight because of hatred not get controlled by anger
Before every blow, Peter chooses to save. He chooses hope over revenge.
That's why Frank respects #SpiderMan.
He sees a true hero. A kid who believes even broken people deserve another chance.
Then comes the heartbreaking moment...
Frank pulls the trigger, aiming at someone else, but Peter steps in and takes the bullet.
In that instant, Frank realizes he may have just killed the only person willing to sacrifice his own life to save someone he still believed could be redeemed.
