People are tired of superheroes. Big CGI mess at the end! All of these movies feel the same.

Is there going to be a Spoiler Corner for No Way Home? Because I really wanna talk about the movie.

I thought it was drop dead hilarious that Tom Hardy didn’t actually get to do anything in the MCU. Don’t get me wrong, I would have loved an actual crossover. But the way this actually played out — with that big post-credits arrival at the end of Venom 2, only for him to just leave in the post-credits of the very next…

In the Venom 2 post-credits, Venom showed an awareness of the multiverse and implied he'd already been to different universes, so it may be as simple as the symbiote being a creature that is capable of multiversal traversal akin to the way an amphibian can live in two biomes.

Idk, it’s much more interesting than “sentient space goo comes to earth and bonds with a human” for nth time. It gives you the symbiote as an established character who already has a history, familiarity with earth and people, without having to waste time on the “how they got there” part.

Actually, I’m with you on this. Especially after this movie (which, apart from a somewhat flabby/muddled mid-section, I really enjoyed, both for the incredibly energetic opening - that really maintains the momentum for much longer than it should - and for the surprisingly heartfelt beats in the finale, where it…

Yeah, but if what you just wrote was the review of a movie, would you think it’s a good review? That’d be like a review of West Side Story being “It sucks, it’s a musical.” Some folks don’t like musicals, and find it an annoying and repetitive genre, but even if you’re one of those people, that isn’t a good review.

I’ve had a few replies saying this and I want to refute that notion but I just don’t have the data.

Honestly, we probably should have twice already. The internet is cobbled together from protocols someone threw together over a weekend as a proof of concept fifty years ago, which have just been gradually patched and had some security elements bolted on as time passed.

at this point, we might as well nuke the Net and start over.

Why not do this?

I also don’t at all buy the takes that Iron Avengers Spider is a problem. My entire life has been filled with the “traditional” Spider-Man story. It was plenty.

Reviews of Spider-Man stuff leave me feeling like I’m the only person in the world that likes the team up aspect of the MCU version.  Will Spider-Man ever get a solo outing?  YES! He had five of them already!  Spider-Man, setting the 90s prevalence of Wolverine aside, has always been the ultimate buddy superhero,…

Strunk and White’s Elements of Style isn’t gonna fuck you bro.

(But I agree with you that this kind of note in recent MCU reviews is getting a bit repetitive. SAUSAGE COMES IN ‘SAUSAGE SKIN’ SHOCKER: CONSUMERS AGHAST.)

This is, again, just a new variation on the Marvel business model of extended universing.

Big. Damn. Relief.

The same reason I can guess your color by that comment.

If they get the cast of Spider-Man: Far From Home to make a cameo here placing both the Sony and MCU Spider-Men within the Spider-Verse, we’ll have the superhero movie equivalent of a turducken. A...Spi-turducken.

How can Hailee Steinfeld be a Hawkeye and a Spider-Gwen at the same time? What kind of mad interdimensional trickery is this??

No, he’s flexible in both directions, since he spends most of his podcast going up his own asshole.
