Yeah, in Age of Ultron they just got their powers via Infinity Stone. This is why I don't think the X-men should ever be a part of the MCU, before you can even start telling stories with them you need to explain what mutants are, where they come from, where they've been all the time while the Avengers have been Avenging ect, you need an 'origin story' for an entire subset of characters.
Compare that to the F4, where they could be inserted into the MCU with a 5-minute 'there was an experiment, it went wrong, now they have powers' intro before the title screen and you're good to go... Well, you still have to deal with the fact they're not really that interesting in a world that has The Avengers, but at least they'd fit into the universe seamlessly, just like Spidey has.

Well, Michael Keaton is 65, so he's definitely no spring chicken.

While not yet another origins story, it sure looks like yet another origins story. . .

That was masterful. Truly a pun worthy of the webslinger himself.

Orkeosaurus, on homophobia, the nature of homosexuality, and the greatness of George Takei.
English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleyways and mugs them for loose grammar.
Probably best to wait and see and enjoy it anyway?
Maybe, or skip it. Comic book movies have to look off the chart awesome for me to see them now.
It just doesn't spark me.

Thanks! I was pretty proud of myself when I wrote it so I'm glad it didn't go unnoticed!

Yeah. He looks like every Scoobie Doo villian, ever!
That is a huge insult to the villains of Scooby Doo: Mystery Inc.
This may be the first Spider-Man film I am excited to see for its own merits rather than for its impact on the sub genre (Maguire 1 and 2) or not at all (Garfield). I usually ended up lying back and thinking of X-Men.
Keaton may also be the first MCU villain as threatening as William Defoe.
The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

And there's already talk of Spidey exiting the MCU after the Homecoming sequel. This just days after Sony announce they're doing non-MCU Venom and Black Cat movies.
Sony, what are you doing? You've attached yourself onto a filmic golden goose and now you want to cut ties? Are you insane? Who is the idiot they have running.... oh.

Stark has really done some work on the suit then right :
