TBF the Dr ock name joke was terrible

I'm of the opinion one should never declare a film great, terrible or anything without having seen it. Increasingly it feels like people make up their minds about films way in advance of stepping into a cinema and I think that's a bad inclination. The hype build up is partly to blame, you're invited to engage with films way before release, but it seems like the idea of going into the film with an open mind is getting increasingly rare

I'm talking about film Twitter, that's a bunch of weirdos with an angry opinion. But sorry for not hating a movie I haven't seen and pointing out a thing I've seen around social media. I guess.

I'm not devastated or anything but I would have liked to have seen that at the end of the movie and not from a tweet. Feel like that's actually one of the more interesting post-credits scenes they've done! It's got a dual WTF of the casting decision and the choice to use that character after the date rape drugs arguments of that She-Hulk storyline.

A bunch of people in the audience gasped when they said he was the brother of Thanos. I think that's a good hook to get people immediately interested in him.

The joke is slightly better if they are making fun of the Oct- part and for some reason that just wasn't included in the trailer. Or they're just Simpsons fans.

Letterman used to do this. Mostly played for laughs, but the coroner segment was genuinely interesting and I'd totally watch more of the welder guy's reviews.

There’s a video on Tiktok that says they’re pretty sure it’s a dodge and they’re really talking to one of the other Peter Parkers. They noted that the backgrounds of both the Ock and Scooby Doo gang shots are kinda different.

Whistler was based on a black guy in the comics, right? Jamal Afari. Maybe they're hewing more comics accurate.
