I just, can't get over how atrociously bad the writing in this film is lol.
and not even like, the gaping holes in logic necessary for the movie to even work. just like, the basic writing isn't good. Forced plot points all over, shoving in well tread origin story beats because it has to tie in with nostalgia beats, dull villains, and just zero weight to everything. The audience knows what's about to happen at every step, it's so boring.

this is like a glimpse of the future of Marvel films I feel, where the constant references to other films is the point of the film. where there's barely even a movie that stands on its own because it relies entirely on different movies to fill in the emotional plot beats.
movies that become nothing but referential fan service of films that themselves aren't anything but references to other things.

@triumph_forks I'm watching Red Rocket on Tuesday, excited to go back to watching good movies. 💅
No Way Home spoilers
@triumph_forks I'm waiting to watch that with friends, but yeah, I expect a good, hammy movie that mixes guns with gender with that one
No Way Home spoilers
@maolfunction But yeah, I got invited to watch Spider Man and I honestly didn't really give that much of a shit about it. It's probably the most blatant nostalgia-bait flick since The Force Awakens lmao
I really only watch these MCU movies hoping to see famous actors ham it up - and Willem Defoe and Alfred Molina didn't disappoint.

@triumph_forks they did Molina dirty with that wig tho.
Dafoe tried to carry the movie on his back with the 10 minutes of screen time he was given lol
No Way Home spoilers
@maolfunction tfw they only casted Jamie Foxx just for him to make an offhanded comment about a black spiderman for the five minutes he was in the movie. Must be nice to get the bag like that
No Way Home spoilers
@triumph_forks I thought the same thing lol. I was sitting there wondering what it felt like to be cast just to be the token black character, where a third of your lines is devoted to making a shout out to the black Spider-Man who doesn't make an appearance

@maolfunction LMAAOOOO
Waiting for the day an actor risks never getting a call from Disney again by saying these movies are shit, actually

@triumph_forks Marvel films and Scorsese films will never be the same because one can't use the word fuck in them. 
No Way Home spoilers
@triumph_forks this is why Marvel films are bad, and Scorsese films are critically lauded

@maolfunction lmao holy shit

@maolfunction @triumph_forks let tom holland say fuck

@maolfunction @triumph_forks MCU will always be bad because Disney won't let them have as much fun with it as Toei had

@MochaKoffee @triumph_forks I do love how multiple people were cool with just swinging a toy Spider-Man into the side of a model and cutting to a completely different looking terrain of the actor rolling down a hill to sell the effect

@maolfunction I might stream Matrix since it seems to be doing a good job of pissing off both the comic book dorks and the culture warriors
