saying "shalom" or "namastey" or "hola" as a non-native speaker was an irritating "hip" thing to do when that movie came out, and that's a scene where Peter Parker is trying repeatedly to be "hip" and failing spectacularly.

I always read symbiote spider man in this movie as Parker with the confidence to act how he thought would be cool. And he thought it would be cool to answer the phone in an unexpected way.

That's exactly what it was. He wasn't supposed to be cool, he was doing what he thought was cool. I don't understand how people watch the part of him walking down the street finger gunning everyone and miss that.

I could have sworn I watched this but I don't remember the plot of the movie, let alone whatever this is. I feel like the only thing I remember from it was him telling the girl to make him different cookies.

Ya know, given recent events, certain people have made me aware that I often say shalom, call my baby daughter "bubby" and use other words like "schlep" and "schvitzing," as though Yiddish was evil. They are, of course, assholes.

Natural, I'll continue to use those words because I was raised on Mel Brooks movies, especially Men in Tights, which is a goddamn classic.

Yiddish and Hebrew are far older than and used by those who don't support current events. It's like the German language getting demonized in the US (and probably elsewhere) around the world wars; the language didn't do anything, but people make assumptions of the speakers of those languages.

Many Yiddish words like "schlep" are so mainstream that it doesn't even register with me.

Doesn't bubby mean grandmother?

So apparently it can be both Grandma and baby, and I have no idea why. I did double check, though.

He looks like an emo twink and his daddy dom just told him he's been a very naughty boy.

To me it looks like what I thought Macaulay Culkin would look like when he was older instead of what we got.

The symbiote keeps kosher, doesn't it.
