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

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:

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.

i am not okay with 'peter tingle'

Reamed in the Ass by a Radioactive Spider

the crossover event of the decade

ASMRMCU

I would guess that 'Peter tingle' will be this movie's 'Penis Parker'. Which is to say: not employed with any seriousness.

But boy is my face gonna be red when Spidey is shown sportin' a woody in all subsequent cinematic depictions.

peter's poker, spider-dong

The new one looks to have landed on the wrong side of daft to be honest. And they seem to have got Mysterio completely wrong.

or have they

No, this is definitely the point where Feige went off the rails. Definitely. RIP MCU.

No offense, chap, but I don't understand why someone familiar with the character Mysterio would make any preemptive assessment of the onscreen action depicted in the trailer for a movie featuring Mysterio.

i have a feeling this will be one of the first marvel movies to get a lot of backlash. obv. I haven't seen it yet but they've put out three movies in quick succession; maybe they should have waited on this one for a while because anything coming after Endgame is going to be a let down.

This supposedly serves as an epilogue to Endgame. Like picking up immediately thereafter.

If the thoroughly unexceptional Captain Marvel could break a billion, there will never be a backlash.

3 stars - disaster!

It was nice knowing you, super heroed movies.

Give the people want they want, a movie about Peter trying to transfer his college credits and getting the run-around from admissions.

If the thoroughly unexceptional Captain Marvel could break a billion, there will never be a backlash.

they had pre prepared a backlash against any criticisms so it was a feature not a bug

"this is a very mainstream Marvel picture"

god Bradshaw is fuckin useless

That Guardian review is a lot of words considering it's effectively summarize a Wikipedia stub article

I was wondering when they'd finally pull the reins on all that outré experimental filmmaking. Brakhage's Iron Man film was fascinating but I could tell the audience wasn't into it.

Into the Spiderverse is a balls-out fantastic movie and I love pretty much everything about it but it's a very straightforward story; all of the innovation is in the visual style.

i just happened across a spoiler for this movie's post-credit scene which has honestly made my day

I know, right? Who could've dreamed that they'd be kicking off the Clone Saga so soon. #blessed

bringing back nicholas hammond as an aged ben reilly is a masterstroke tbh

This was a blast! Especially in its second half.

Really glad they seem to have taken some cues from Into the Spider-verse - some of the most visually interesting sequences in the MCU since Ragnarok.

"Bitch, please! You've been to space."

never trust any guy who willingly goes by the name “Mysterio” and wears a fishbowl on his head

the portrayal of high school kids on a school trip was pretty great!

I was having flashbacks to a high school orchestra trip where a couple of my classmates seemingly coupled up only to act like nothing happened when they returned. And they were two seats away from each other in the cello section!

realllly good. like the first one the cuteness of the teen humor just works so well

into the spideverse is on netflix and truly blew me away. a very deserving film, of any accolade.

This was really, really good. These Spidey movies seem to actually get the best villains aside from the Thor movies.

This was great. The fight sequences were fantastic.

I thought this was ok. They handled the villain really well, especially in the marketing and promotion, which had people double guessing the misdirection. The only thing I didn't like that much about the fight scenes is that they seemed very much like set pieces. As in literally set on and limited to one specific chunk of set, which I always find kind of cheap and cheesy.

Haha, whoops, looks like I picked the wrong credit sequence to blow off!

I do have a few questions, once more people see this and pop into the thread.

Oh we know

this was fun!
