Kinda a cynical view point? You could apply that view to any film, really. The joy of these movies, and all movies really, is in the detail. The specific actions in scenes.

A good example of this is the coin toss scene in "no country for old men". A completely unnecessary scene yet an incredible scene.

We watch these movies for the interactions between characters. The brilliance of the writing and the acting.

Sorry to detract from your post, but...

You found the coin toss scene "unnecessary"...??

Neither of which has anything to do with anything put out by Marvel or DC

Right now poor old Hobgoblin is a lamb hovering above an enclosure of hungry MCU lions xD

Nah, seriously though thats an interesting comment and not that i would jump down @City Hobgoblin 's throat or even have that "just wait until he says something stupid, i'll pounce on it" mentality. It would be genuinely interesting to hear... then we kill him in front of his loved ones and sacrifice his lifeless form to Kevin Feighy (fuck knows how you spell his name) hehe.

It really would be nice to hear more on that as that was the main intention of this thread. Someone may watch Cleopatra (1960's) and fancy giving their take on it for example.

It is a great scene but unnecessary to the overall plot. Care to counter?

It's a pivotal part of the character's dependence to make life more interesting as he could just take your life there and then, but he wants fate to decide for him.

It adds fun to the 'inevitable' for him and he becomes a slave to the coin toss (this is all from memory btw!).

If he just decided to do what he wanted, what would the point of the film be...?
