I really hope that's not an actual SpiderVerse story Like it'd be *REAL* lovely if Miles' first story is the one where there's a poo poo ton of Spider-Men running around. Kind of invalidates his role as Peter's successor

I don't really care for the mix of 2D and 3D, but it doesn't look bad. It's about time we got some Marvel animation that doesn't look ultra cheap, they could learn something from DC when it comes to that.

It's really too bad they couldn't use some of that budget to lock down a consistent framerate. The design, the action beats, everything else is hella awesome, but being smooth one second and choppy the next with 3D models is a real bad look.

It's not choppy, they're going for a stop-motion effect with some of the movement and texture-swapping. It's not like one of the artists hosed up and had their frame rate set to 15fps and they went "Well, too late to fix it now!" It's a really cool intentional stylistic effect. I love it.

3D animation is notoriously resource-intense to render and every project works under time and budget restraints. Sacrificing the framerate of simple walking sequences and the like so the lion's share of processing time can be dedicated to the showpiece action sequences is certainly an intentional choice, though.

Speed Racer, Valerian, and Batman v Superman are fearless examples of embracing it.

Yeah, if they did the opposite of what most animations do and spent the budget making sure all the fight scenes were 30fps and dipping back to 12fps for all the dialogue scenes that would be laudable. I think in this case it's a stylistic choice to do a CG/Stop Motion/Hand Drawn fusion. I noticed when I was making that falling gif there are a few frames of some 2D "!!!" and comic book attention lines that pop out from Spidey's face before he does his big swing. Like comic dialogue.

I actually like the look for Battle Angel. I think it hits the nail on the head of being close enough to human looking but not quite getting there, and that makes it really off-putting. It's that creepy feeling you get when something is trying really hard to be a person, but can't quite get there.

Maybe go Cartoons for general audience and just nut up and give the $300 million to the porn parody movies so fanatics can get their 100% literal visual translation of comic book bodies and costumes and accuracy to the big screen.

Like After Silence of the Lambs came out and deranged serial killers were "cool" for that brief period where a kid could buy trading cards of Jeffrey Dahmer and stuff there was a Joker comic series that was the dumbest poo poo ever. I think in that whole lineup the only things that I'd want to see are Suicide Squad 2 and Harley Quinn if they're able to get everyone back. Oh and of course Nightwing will be incredible. What is Gotham City Sirens? Is that like Birds of Prey or whatever?

I spoke to someone who was into that once and she said for a lot of women that the thing isn't the abuse but instead the power fantasy of "reforming" or having a person be into you such that they're an abusive dangerous character but not to you. The idealized situation of if Harley Quinn actually succeeded in getting the Joker to give a poo poo about her instead of the status quo of how the characters are usually portrayed. Zod was the last hero and martyr of Krypton I guess, Michael Shannon is amazing.

I watched Spider-Man Homecoming I have a few problems with it. First I'll say, it's easily better than Amazing Spider-Man 2, even if ASM2 has the single best Spider-Suit of them all. It might be better than Amazing Spider-Man but I honestly am not the one to ask about that, I've only seen ASM once. I MIGHT like it better than Spider-Man 3, honestly not sure. So this isn't the WORST SPIDEY MOVIE EVER or any garbage like that. What it does do is something baffling. Does Uncle Ben exist in this universe? Because the way Peter acts for 90% of the film is like a Peter Parker that never lost Ben. Like, he acts like the cocky, immature asshat who never learned that his actions have consequences that he always is before Ben gets shot. He just constantly fucks up and never takes anything seriously enough and is just a child- right up until he's trapped under the rubble. At that point he grows the gently caress up and starts acting like Peter Parker, a young one yeah but Peter Parker all the same. Every situation Peter either causes or makes worse in the movie until the end. If this was intentional, it's interesting, but you're still left with a lovely person as the main character until he figures his poo poo out at the end. Regardless it's nice to see him develop and change, only... Next we'll go to the best thing about this movie. The villains. The Vulture is fantastic, Keaton blows it away, and in ANY OTHER MOVIE he'd be the hero of the film. Shocker is fun though sadly under realized. Keaton is just really goddamn good, and would have fit in perfect in the Raimi movies. His initial suit isn't great but his final improved wingsuit is fantastic. A lot of the school poo poo is just awful teen drama nonsense that's just white noise, but they have some good scenes there. The real problem of this segment is Liz Allen herself. She's just, not a character. Why does she like Peter? What does she think about things? What does she want from life? In the movie she's just The Love Interest (but the temporary ones so don't worry) She's The Point Of Drama between Peter and Keaton. The worst thing is, she didn't have to be. If time could have been spent on her she could have added a whole other layer to the entire movie, some extra depth. She could have been the love interest version of Harry Ozborn. Here's how badly her character is treated- she never ONCE gets a scene alone with her dad. Not once. In the entire movie. They're barely on screen with one another as it is, and share like, three lines of dialogue. Because as far as this movie is concerned, she doesn't matter. But she should. SHE'S the emotional center of the loving film where all the characters revolve and their conflict with one another makes them both lose her. They just didn't want to do anything with her. Or maybe they couldn't. Maybe they didn't have time Because instead of letting this be a real movie that stands on its own, we get Marvel poo poo intruding on it EVERY GODDAMN TIME. So we start the movie with Tony Stark loving over the little guy and driving them to crime with his illegal and shifty business practices. We then spend the entire rest of the movie with Tony subbing in as Peter's dad and then are supposed to be so happy that he's getting married. WHY ISN'T HE THE VILLAIN AGAIN? Tony has learned absolutely nothing, and the movie should have ended with Peter calling him out on all of his ugly, stupid, corn-encrusted bullshit. Instead Peter is still super nice with him and just goes on his merry way. You'd think he'd be bitter at Tony for making this whole ugly mess go down, or for not taking responsibility for what he has done, or ANYTHING. No. Nope. Nothing like that. And then we get to the real problem with the Marvel poo poo. Ever since Joss Whedon left, there has been this psychopathic urge to ruin every potentially serious or sincere scene with some kind of joke. This happens in Doctor STrange a loving lot, Thor, Guardians- Civil War is about the only movie it doesn't happen in to my memory And like okay. Thor 3 is mostly a comedy, sure fine. Guardians is meant to be weird and insincere sure. Fine. The story of Spider-Man Homecoming is not insincere, nor is it a comedy. Funny things can and DO happen, but they should be from the characters. Some of the stuff with Peter's friends is hilarious, Keaton gets a few good jokes here and there, but they're earned. They're a natural event of the narrative. Whenever Marvel poo poo is happening, no matter what without fail, TO THE END WITH TONY AND PEPPER, some whacky tone shattering thing happens like a wet fart blaring over the sound track. Happy tries to have a heart to heart with Peter- Toilet Gag! Peter tries to be serious with Tony- YOU NAME IT Peter's suit is the loving worst thing in the world. Karen is just the goddamn most awful and incoherent thing. One moment she's super savy and smart, the next she's super literal and does not get hu-mon thinking and emotions. I am so happy she's just gone from the movie after the two third mark. The problem is that nothing is learned! Peter learns NOTHING from this movie. He accepts Tony's suit all over again instead of making his own. And we KNOW in Infinity War, he's going to accept the Iron Man Jr suit Tony made for him. It's infuriating because there's a really good movie in here that I want to like, but all of this poo poo keeps happening that takes me right out of it. I am dead tired of the Marvel Formula, and if this is how they want to treat Spider-Man, I'd rather Sony keep a tight hold on him.
