@silveragenjoyer Fits into the theme of Peter indulging into being Spider-Man full time and shunning his life as Peter Parker. That moment in the montage where he's alone with the Key to the City is pretty good.
@FaceS_13@TsoDwayne That doesn't really mean anything when Gwen and Harry have been written badly + have been uninteresting before lol (Ex: SM3/TASM 1 + 2)
@kpdemon6@bornposting the only villains that fit this are, like ... Crimson Dynamo (whose been 3 different guys), Wong Chu who died in 1962 and didn't come back until 2000, and Black Widow (self-explanatory)
other than those three, the rest of Iron Man's rogues gallery are glup shittos lmao
@SongbirdDiamond@silveragenjoyer I don't really buy that considering that Twitter has gotten worse about being nuanced/normal about antagonists or really characters who are antagonistic, in general lol
Had Brand New Day came out, like, 8 or 10 earlier โโ the discourse would be more palatable.
@SongbirdDiamond@silveragenjoyer See, the thing is โโ nothing like that comes close to happening in the film. All that really happens is that Peter just sits and talks with her, that's it.
@FaceS_13@TsoDwayne I don't think BND is some flawless masterpiece or whatever โโ but a lot of critiques I see of this movie half of the time are people failing the basic tenants of film criticism for the sake of the typical checklist talking points.
@FaceS_13@TsoDwayne Okay, but shouldn't the solution here be like, I dunno, improving the writing of Ned and MJ?
like, people keep falling on this talking point and mystifies me. why do people think they would be better? because it's gwen and harry? characters they recognize?
@FaceS_13@TsoDwayne >Doesnโt really introduce anything brand โNewโ from the spider-man mythos like maybe the Osborns or Gwen
How would introducing the Osborns (who were the focus of five films) and Gwen Stacy (the center focus of TASM1&2) be brand new
like what you're asking for is a checklist lol
@silveragenjoyer Iโm just mentally checked out about the discourse surrounding this movie, man. Iโm sorry. Had a fun experience in the theater, two months later itโs nothing but a constant downstream of bad faith interpretations and unending discourse. Iโm just tired of all of it
