Sony can’t even muster the enthusiasm to astoturf some kind of “make sure to see it cuz woman and own the manbabies” campaign. Like nobody at the company actually wanted Madam Web to succeed. Not out of malice, just out of indifference.

I hate Shat and TOS. It's an ugly show with horrible makeup effects and set design, bad acting, and childish storylines that frequently saw them visiting planets that happened to look just like the paramount back lot that were peopled by aliens that happened to look exactly like humans. The music was lousy, too. I guess shat was ok in the movies, they at least didn't look like they were intentionally trying to make everything look as cheap and stupid as possible.

Please don't tell anyone how mad i am.

TOS should only be watched on a 10" Magnavox with a bad speaker.

Guys I spent $140mil on a movie about Z-tier list Spider-Man villain, Dr. Congo Laser, a character no one gives a single poo poo about, and it only made $20 at the box office. What am I doing wrong?

the videogame industry is bigger than ever. however, videogames themselves have turned into microtransaction delivery platforms

game indusry execs have no idea what they are doing and they are greenlighting turds left and right because they sucked out every ounce of creativity and artistry and more and more studios are getting gutted and having their corpses waved around as part of their marketing strategies.

"The film introduced a trio of supporting characters (played by Isabela Merced, Celeste O’Connor and Sydney Sweeney — now one of the top stars her age). It set up a future in which the three could have become a team of Spider-Women under the guiding eye of Johnson’s Cassie Webb. Now that’s not going to happen."

"Sony is willing to take some risk but also wants home runs — that’s good. And if [Sony’s upcoming Spider-Man Universe title] Kraven is a gigantic hit, the narrative could be completely different. So it’s too early to know the outcome.”"

I remember how angry people were about 15 years ago when Dunst suggested killing Spider-Man off and leaving MJ to raise their super-powered kid on their own.

Honestly, I probably would have liked to have seen that being the Spider-themed character story in the MCU rather than the reboot Tom Holland Spidey. It would be able to mirror a lot of the Peter Parker stuff, but you could probably put a new spin (no pun intended) for MJ/May in the Aunt May/Peter dynamic.

I’m watching The Marvels. I kinda just assumed that the movie would re-introduce Kamala Khan to audiences that hadn’t seen the Disney+ show.

But no, they fully expect everyone to have already watched the streaming Ms. Marvel series before they watched this new 200 million dollar blockbuster.

That might be the single greatest act of hubris in cinematic history.

Not really, even people who didn't watch the series felt she was the best part of the movie.

Which tells me everything I need to know about the film, honestly

A comic book would have had the badguy killed by a Diet Pepsi sign but the T fell off and killed him.

We'd be forced to focus on a single panel of DIE hovering above the guy as the T is about to splat him.
