I think the superhero genre will always be here. But it will also never be what it was; the days when a middling movie could be a box office hit are long past.

I think everybody - it's the end of the multiverse, after all!

I think it's more they didn't want to go full body-horror. Plus it wouldn't have worked on a thematic level imo; Spidey needed to accept the two parts of himself, to bring them together. But if one of those parts is literally an inhuman monster, that becomes a much less empathetic choice!

Gotta be honest, I felt this season was a bit underwhelming in the end; too disjointed for my liking. What were your thoughts?

Yeah, I think original content on Disney+ will mostly become special presentations and animations. It feels a bit of a shame; they're throwing the baby out with the bathwater imo. More Skeleton Crew, please, Lucasfilm!

SUCH a good show!

They're casting for characters who are in their late teens. Jean is older than Buffy was in BtVS Season 1.

Definitely a hot take! That said, I think the key thing running through here is that people's tastes are different. I admit, I was never a huge fan of Venom in the comics, so the films didn't really appeal to me; I haven't actually gotten round to Kraven yet. That said, some of the MCU films you'd mention... well, I can't argue they're quite poor lol!

I couldn't disagree more tbh :) X-Men are basically superhero soap opera, and having them as teens maximizes that. I mean, X-Men: Evolution showed just how great this could be!

To be fair, I think they kind of assumed Season 2 would be as big as Season 1. Imo it hasn't been as good; it's just been too disjoiinted.

Absolutely adored it. My personal favorite for Spidey since possibly Spider-Man 2!

Yeah this is SHOCKING. I can only guess they want Cretton on the movies.

I can see it happening, especially given Chinese box office predictions. Plus.. it is GOOD.

Personally, I... absolutely LOVED it. I think this may be my favorite live-action Spidey film since Spider-Man 2!

I wouldn't have done it until BP4 tbh. We've literally just had a movie about Shuri becoming the Panther, and then we move to a new one in the next film lol?
