Anticipating Spider-Man: Homecoming (and then presumably Spider-Man: Prom)

No worrie

s

uh oh, forks and OL got broken into atoms while posting

I don't know why I typed forks, I was thinking Hoos

fuckin' Thanos

forks vaporized offscreen

mr lunch, i don’t feel so good

I told you it was old bizarro, I told you

I have no idea where Venom fits in with the spider-flicks at this point, but I caught it on a plane last night and it was about what I expected- the Marvel movie it reminded me most of was Blade. Cheap, kind of fun, mostly silly, with a relentlessly, needlessly grim n gritty attitude. The best part was Venom offering his rationale for siding with Brock by saying "on my planet I'm kind of a loser".

it’s a weird weird movie... rote plot, clumsy script, and then batshit moments like that that make it not an entirely wasted 90 minutes

I’m still laughing at the Eminem song that played over the credits

that was hilarious- he gets his own theme song!

What rhymes with "venom?"

"Eminem-om?"

I left the theater as the song started because my first thought was “I can’t do this right now”

Venom is fun, esp if you pirate it.

the answer to the rhyme q is “hit ‘em” and “get ‘em”

I saw it on an opening day and ate venom-themed chicken wings and drank a venom-themed beer

should've been chicken heads

also woody harrelson's hair was extremely lol, he looked like sideshow bob

Venom was totally fun. I'm surprised at the backlash against it when Ant Man gets so much praise; they were similar to me in that they didn't take themselves seriously at all (and are both set in SF). It doesn't directly link into any of the Spiderman movies in existence.

Venom was dull as dishsoap after the first 40 minutes

i couldn't read the credits to see if they gave McFarland co-creator credit for the character

they did

Billy McFarland's getting his entrepreneurial fingers into everything now, huh

What IS the deal with that? Are we getting trailers for post Endgame MCU movies now?

...so we got multiverse now:

we're believing anything this mysterio guy says? seems sketchy

it's mysterio so might be probably lying. this is a character that started out as a green alien who got retconned into being an fx wizard pretending to be an alien.

xp

well that was a grammar failure. you know what i mean.

Of course I was just about to post the same thing. Take every Mysterio-related plot beat with a grain of salt.

MILES

MORALES

WHEN

I doubt they'd take this direction verbatim, but the last paragraph on the Ultimate Marvel version of the character sets up a possibility:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysterio#Ultimate_Marvel

as long as Sony's got the license for Spider-Man they're going to milk as much out of other characters as they can without being burdened (or enabled, depending on the input) by the Disney Marvel stuff imo

Unrelated but I scrolled up the Wikipedia page (because iirc Mysterio was replaced by his Ultimate version in the comics and...now doesn't even exist?) and saw this really fun passage

Francis Klum, a mutant with the ability to teleport, was sexually abused by his older brother Garrison (Mr. Brownstone) and forced to use his powers to assist Garrison's illegal activity as a heroin dealer. When Garrison dosed the Black Cat with heroin and attempted to rape her, Francis decided to stop his brother's cruelty for good, teleporting within and blowing up Garrison's body.[59]

and immediately wondered whether it came from that fucking Kevin Smith Spider-Man/Black Cat miniseries I never read and, well, sure enough. Good times!

yeah but miles tho

when

go watch spider-verse, bg

I have no idea how throwing that character into the MCU would be a net positive for developing Miles as his own entity, but maybe they'd pull it off

that fucking Kevin Smith Spider-Man/Black Cat miniseries I never read

Didn’t technically everyone not read it? IIRC either he or the Dodsons just gave up after two issues

Mysterio was definitely in his Daredevil run, though, eight issues about which I can remember nothing but Quesada trying to draw Mysterio scary by wreathing himself in smoke while he hung out in his home office

They actually did complete that six-issue miniseries after taking a couple years off to rest.

Drawing that many tits can take it out of you. And just imagine poor Smith, having to think them up

... I just realised that possibly the sort of comicsgater idiots that rally against Kamala Khan and Squirrel Girl in their punching comics came of age in the Jemas era, and a lot of things made some horrible sense

Dril is not a fan of the movie's approach.

"multi verse" fuck your self. you`re only allowed to have one universe per costumed dipshit. absolutely none of this is my problem

apparently donald glover's character in homecoming was miles' uncle aaron, but good luck getting him back

Anyway, should you want more info:

https://www.fandango.com/movie-news/exclusive-interview-spider-man-far-from-home-director-jon-watts-breaks-down-that-wild-new-trailer-753743

Fandango: Gotta ask about Miles Morales, who was hinted at in Homecoming. Does this new multiverse mean we get to meet Miles in this film?

Jon Watts: There is no Miles in this film, or at least not yet. But who knows... we edit these films down to the last second, so you never know.

hedging his bets cuz jaden smith hasn’t finalised his contract just yet i guess

if they wanted mysterio to look like jaime lannister they should have just hired nc-w.

Hah, my first thought was that Mysterio was played by the dude from the '90s Hercules TV series, but then I realised he must look a bit older these days.

what

The film also introduces a new twist on Spider-Man's early warning reflex, "Spidey Sense", where it is renamed the "Peter Tingle".

anyway, in a decision I may come to regret, just booked a Homecoming + FFH back-to-back screening on Tuesday.
