Assuming his character is in John Wick 4 that's probably going to be a posthumous role then, right?

All I've seen with Joel Kinnaman is For All Mankind, which started out with him playing a 30-something and, next season, probably a man pushing 70 despite not looking any different. And his character was born in the 30s, so we're not talking a modern-day 70, we're talking old-rear end 70.

Ah, just like the Yakuza video games.

Modern Harry Potter fandom is 100% nostalgia wanking and the #1 rule to nostalgia is to never revisit your memories. The Fantastic Beasts movies are bad but they also show that people aren't going to accept new Harry Potter content for the sake of content. I can't really see a reboot turning out well other than the initial flash in the pan publicity.

I'd put Men in Black 3 down as a good one, but none of the others worked for me past the first.

I liked Men In Black 2 as a kid because it's basically the jokes people liked in the first one but More So (the tiny gun! the talking dog!) but as an adult I realize those exact same things actually make it a terrible sequel.

I thought the axe hasn't actually come down on that yet, everyone is just expecting it because it follows the pattern of "Disney impulsively hands out Star Wars movie deal to darling director, cancels it after they publicly disgrace themself" (Taika and Thor 4, Patty Jenkins and Wonder Women 2, Colin Trevorrow and Book of Henry, the game of thrones guys and, you know.)

The Mulan movie systemically removed every bit of comedy and whimsy I guess because foreign movies don't have those, but looking at the numbers, it seems to have lost a lot of money. 200 million budget and 70 million box office seems...bad.

Harambe was just a meme because that gorilla was on national news for like a week until the Pulse Nightclub Shooting happened and there was finally some real news.

I think you're reading too much into it; it would sort of be like saying Morbius memes represent nihilistic disillusionment.

I mean it's like Harry Potter, or even LOTR to tie this to the earlier Hobbit conversation. For the vast majority of people, the series ended so they dipped when it was over. They enjoyed it while it was going on, but they don't care to see the secret story of Dumbledore's long lost brother or the winner of the previous Hunger Games or whatever.

I can't believe anyone is complaining about this scene. It's loving great.

The execution of it, from a technical point of view, is flawless. It should of been happening to a better developed villain, but who gives a poo poo if the logic of the ship exploding like that doesn't work?
It's also that character's death scene so it's a weird example to use of meaningless action scenes.

Basically, but Madam Web's lasting influence is largely with Spider-Verse stuff. She was in the 90's cartoon series (voiced by Stan Lee's wife) and plucked a bunch of Spider-Men from their home universes to help take down a version of Peter Parker that had bonded with the Carnage Symbiote. She has a similar role in the Shattered Dimensions video game (which was co-written by Dan Slott, who would later introduce the Spider-Verse fully into the comics).

But despite Spider-Verse crossovers being immensely popular in live action and animation, this version of the character doesn't seem to be having anything to do with it.

It...kinda has the same premise of multiple alternate universe Spider Persons? But not in a way that benefits from the Spiderverse associations at all.
