Marvel exec: “Hear me out. We literally just bring back all the Sam Raimi supervillains”
Fellow ghoul: “Oh, like write the same characters?”
Marvel exec: “No I mean literally the same actors portraying those particular versions of those characters coming from the Raimi universe”
Fellow ghoul: “…I love it!”
I’m of two minds about this whole thing
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse already did an amazing job of the whole multiple Spider-Men thing and this just feels like the lazy man’s way of getting the entire Sinister Six into a movie
But also, we’re finally getting a superhero movie from Disney that’s basically just them being like “Yeah, we own all these action figures, let’s slam them together and make noises while we do it”

“finally”?! was that not what all the avengers movies were?
I meant in terms of previous actors and characters they’ve picked up since Avengers
After all, nobody cheered when Hawkeye showed up in Thor, because Hawkeye is small-time (all offense to Jeremy Renner meant)
This is big time, “we own nearly every character and actor who ever portrayed them” levels of media
Into the Spider-Verse was amazing. Straight up a landmark in animation history and a great story. Oh, and the sound track was masterful
I mean, if it means Willem Dafoe in another villain role, I’m obligated to watch it
Yeah. ‘pander to people’s nostalgia by bringing back the only good capeshit ever made’ seems like a pretty decent attempt at getting my attention.
Yea it seems odd to complain about like, the best parts of the Raimi movies, the excellent actors cast as villains with good performances being brought back lol
I’m not complaining I’m just taking the piss. I will absolutely be watching this movie
Honestly I know we all dunk on it because it sucks but at the same time, I feel like the passion is gone. Folks: were dunking for attention. Were dunking just to dunk. Thats why I move we place marvel dunks into the low effort bin, right next to their movies.
Dunking on MCU always kinda sucked because there’s nothing there. The movies are made in a lab to appeal to the maximum amount of people globally and thus there isn’t really anything to them. It’s like dunking on Kim Kardashian. Yeah she’s rich but she carefully avoids saying or doing anything controversial. With MCU, I don’t even hate them, I just think they’re boring af.
Ah yes my favourite capeshit slop. Looks like brainless fun.
Can we just dunk on why trailers show the whole movie? I feel like I’ve seen it just watching.
Yeah so Peter Parker is notorious and everyone knows his secret identity so he does a spell that makes everyone forget him except he messes up and it doesn’t work and now the multiverse is open which lets some version of the sinister 6 into the world, half of which are played by people who knocked Tobey Maguire’s teeth in, but he can’t fight them all on his own so he gets assistance from Dr. Strange and his two best friends (one of which is a love interest) but mostly his friends even though Dr. Strange seems to be the one best suited to deal with inter-dimensional fuckery, so despite everything getting ramped up and going wrong at the last minute, they manage to get the McGuffin and resolve their differences over how to handle it, which likely involves Peter either turning around the city’s opinion of him, completing the spell, or coming to terms with his own responsibility.
That about it?
Two predictions because I am, despite my best efforts and knowing better, a complete nerd burger and sucker for this shit and deserve the wall because of it:
-Topher Grace will make an appearance and have a very brief monologue about how he is finally going to get his revenge…which will be cut short when Tom Hardy appears from off screen and eats him with some quip about “Man that guy was lame”. 50/50 chance he gets the white venom motif after this.
-Its an open secret Garfield and Maguire are both in this, and I couldn’t really care less. Never liked any of their tenures as spidey. However, I maintain that Marvel has kept at least one other spidey hidden in secret. Who you ask? No, not Miles…although that is definitely another possibility and one I would welcome for sure.
No no no. The true hero of the movie, who will show up at the 11th hour while things look their bleakest to save the day is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1PePr8hAsc
The spider mech that doesn’t even have a spider motif is what does it for me.
