A very attentive Twitter user in England discovered the television version of spider man was censored by British channel ITV2, which removed a line of dialogue from the successful Sam Raimi film when it was broadcast on television.
Although the Spider-Man character is accustomed to using funny phrases and making fun of his rivals, ITV 2 officials condemned the phrase he said earlier in the film as inappropriate when Peter Parker discovered his power. and learned to use them. .
At one point he decided to enter a ring to test his strength and ability, and in one of his confrontations he met the toughest rival in the area, to which he said: “Very cute suit, did he give this. to you? ” your spouse?”.
In the version broadcast on ITV 2, only the phrase “What a cute suit” remains.

The weather is changing
Clearly the understanding of the phrase in question is very different today than it was 20 years ago, when the film was released. However, expelling him from the film could be counterproductive because of the arguments he gives to protesters against a supposed “progressive censorship”. Debate and controversy remain open.
New from Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire
Sam Raimi, after the filming of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, said he was ready to continue working for Marvel. But most of all, he makes sure he’ll be happy to direct the hypothetical Spider-Man 4he said at the Screen Rant, and with Tobey Maguire!
“Then do Doctor Strange … I’ve realized in the Marvel universe, anything is possible, really anything, any team, ”Raimi said.“ I love Tobey Maguire. I love Kirsten Dunst. I believe that everything is possible. I don’t really have a story or plan. I don’t know if Marvel would be interested in doing that Spider-Man 4 right now. I don’t know what you think about that. I haven’t really chased that yet. But it looks beautiful. Even though it’s not a Spider-Man movie, I want Tobey to work again in a different role. “
The fact is that so far there is no indication that Marvel and Sony are willing to continue exploring new adventures with the previous Spider-Man beyond the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Note that Sam Raimi was already in charge of directing Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man trilogy in the 2000s.
