Oh shit, yeah Spiderverse is literally better than 90% of the MCU library...imo. It's just clear as day when a movie is made by people who not only love the genre but understand it as well.

Can't wait for the spiderman game with Peter spider only in it for 15% or something. Like the witcher in season 3. What could go wrong?

Because theyve been trying to copy Marvel and make a whole movie universe all making tons of money, but they can only use the people from and created in Spiderman comics. So yeah they can only use B-D list characters
They should know their limitations, work within that. They can't do what Disney and Warner Bros are doing. The best they can do is set up a Sinister Six movie, and they are doing a terrible job at that.

They actually announced and planned many other movies. I think they started canceling lots of them.

Disney can't stop them making a Spider-Man movie about Peter Parker either. Sony own the film rights to everything Spider-Man related. If tomorrow they wanted to make a new Spider-Man film with a new Peter they could do.

I'm guessing Disney and Sony have some kind of agreement that Sony couldn't make another standalone live action Spider-Man movie while Holland is portraying MCU Spider-Man.

I say that because I'm surprised Sony has not tried to make Spider-Man 4 or The Incredible Spider-Man 3 after the fans were wanting more after Spider-Man NWH.

I mean...couldn't they at least do a 2099 movie? Or how about Spider-Man Noir as a gritty, Great Depression era detective movie?

You literally have a multiverse of things to do with this property, and instead you use a bunch of D-listers to pump out generic, early 2000s quality superhero movies.

Most likely the case. Spiderman is arguably the most popular Marvel IP at this moment. At least the animated Spiderverse movies are still kicking ass though.

The same thing that happened to all super hero movies of recent vintage: massive reshoots, evidently. I've heard one criticism lobbed at this movie that carries through most reviews that are credible: that the movie is a disjointed mess at best.

Blame Venom for giving Sony the smash hit they needed to keep limping along throwing out D-List* Spider-Man characters in the vain hope that one of them would turn out to be their very own GotG. Though to be fair, Venom was at least half-decent and had some fun moments (sequel was trash, though).

* to the inevitable nerd frothing at the mouth to pounce on this, no, I'm not calling Venom a D-List character.

Venom was half-decent, sure. The half that was bad was the writing which has only gotten worse with the rest of these films.

That's a little bit like asking why firefighters aren't fully decked out in their firefighting gear when they're at home having a beer. It's a uniform, not their casual day clothes.

But were here to see our superheroes in costumes not them having a beer at home. Rescue me has a lot of firefighter action. But thats also not the point Im making. Look at daredevil, he spends the whole series wearing burglar clothing

Tbf, that Daredevil outfit is pulled directly from the comics. And it works for that story, since the whole first season is how Matt becomes Daredevil.

Don't worry I'm sure Kraven will be good, Sony.

Still find it hilarious that the Spider-Man 2 Kraven game trailer dropped around the same time as the movie one and the game trailer just blew the movie trailer out of the water.

Perri Nemiroff's somewhat positive review:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pibn3wTebfk

Gave it a 2.5 but enjoyed herself.

She liked liked the chemistry, was charmed by the cheesiness and Dakota Johnson, and loved the Final Destination vibes despite being "riddled with problems"

I'm so glad the Final Destination vibes are there. That's really all I wanted. I'll definitely be buying Madame Web on 4K when it comes out.

I can understand the stuff she likes, but Dakota Johnson was clearly the worst thing about the movie and the worst part was she was in like 90% of the movie. Any scenes that didn't include her were instantly better. She doesn't have any range with her delivery and she does the same face majority of the movie. She was severely miscasted.

Her performance seems pretty divisive. I'll probably end up liking it.

what's sad is that they don't realize that Venom is a huge name, a huge draw, and a huge character. Venom didn't just draw because he's a spidey badguy, he's been building a solid fanbase ever since the 90s when he had a moment where he basically overtook spidey's fame.

they keep dishing out these spidey villain characters as if we give a shit. we don't give a shit. we give a shit about venom and carnage. that's it. everything else isn't worth throwing money into. but they just don't get it.

They know. But they don't have a choice. They're desperate for a universe but they literally only have obscure Spider-man characters to work with.

They also seem emboldened by the fact that MCU proved obscure characters can lead to successful films. Guardians of the Galaxy were nobodies to the general public before their movies, and even Iron Man was relatively obscure to the general public pre-2008. But unfortunately the movies need to be good movies. And Sony keeps messing that part up.

The movie was fine, not good, kinda bad, but not terrible. Unlike morbius it wasn't boring as shit. The main problem is the film doesn't seem earned, like there's some scenes where it's like, na the writing didn't earn this moment. Plus the entire thing feels like a bait and switch at times.
