이번 『스파이더맨: 브랜드 뉴 데이』가 걸작이라 평가받는 이유

스파이더맨 원작 커버를 다 재현해놔서
덕후들을 미치게 만들었음

일반 관객은 그냥 액션이 멋있다고 느끼지만
진짜 팬들은 그 순간
원작에 대한 존중과 애정을 동시에 느꼈다고..

A terrifying fact you should know:

Imagine a parallel world where 39-year-old Maradona was the best player at the 1998 World Cup and led Argentina to the final.

Where 39-year-old Zidane was the best player at the 2010 World Cup and led France to the final.

Where 39-year-old Ronaldo Nazário was the best player at the 2014 World Cup and led Brazil to the final.

Where 39-year-old Ronaldinho was the best player at the 2018 World Cup and led Brazil to the final.

Sounds absurd, right?

Yet that’s exactly what Lionel Messi did at the 2026 World Cup.

Messi’s longevity is something football may never witness again and to maintain that level at 39 years old is simply unprecedented. 🐐

[MC @CrewsMat10]

No player in football history has been favored more than Cristiano Ronaldo.

-His 4 UCLs with Real Madrid were won with corruption and referee bias.

-Won the 2013 Ballon d’Or without a single trophy in his cabinet.

-Scored controversial offside goals in decisive UCL knockout matches.

-Shamelessly discredits awards and trophies whenever he doesn’t win them.

-Refused to give a guard of honor after losing a Saudi final.

- Refused to play whenever his opponents signed quality players to compete, becoming the first player to effectively go on strike.

-Constantly throws his teammates under the bus whenever things don’t go his way.

If you’re talking about a legacy that’s under constant scrutiny, it’s Cristiano Ronaldo’s. His career has been filled with controversy, excuses, and entitlement as much as trophies. Yet somehow, people still try to paint him as the victim.

I’m going to take my time with this one. If you’re busy, save this post and read it later. Don’t miss this trust me.

I just want to put one final point on Messi’s story: football has never truly been an individual sport—except when it came to him.

Football is a team game. No matter how great you are, you still need the players around you to compete, even if the entire system is built to maximize your strengths.

Yet even with Messi, people kept repeating the same old narrative about Xavi, Iniesta, and Guardiola. The reality is that Messi only spent about four years playing with that historic generation, and even that team looked lost before Guardiola arrived. Messi contributed just as much to their greatness as they did to his.

When that generation left, Barcelona became almost entirely dependent on Messi for two years. Then Luis Enrique arrived, along with Suárez and Neymar, not to carry Messi, but to help share the burden.

After Neymar left, and with Suárez well past his best, Messi was once again carrying Barcelona almost entirely by himself, surrounded by average players. He was one game away from another historic treble, and once again, he was the team’s standout player.

Many people forget that in 2014, after Messi became La Liga’s all-time leading scorer with a hat-trick against Sevilla, Barcelona fans were handed flyers asking: “What if you woke up tomorrow and Messi was no longer at Barcelona?” Even then, some people still couldn’t bring themselves to give him the credit he deserved.

Messi even wanted to leave in 2020, and the situation nearly ended up in court. But he stayed because he didn’t want to fight the club he loved. In the end, he was still forced out in one of the saddest exits in football history.

Argentina was no different.

For years, Messi carried one of the worst-run national teams in modern football. In 2010, Maradona played Germany with four attackers because he believed more forwards meant more goals. Argentina lost 4–0.

Yet Messi was the one blamed.

He was called a failure, a choker, and a coward by people who ignored the reality that, without him, Argentina might not even have qualified for the 2014 World Cup. Every Copa América final they reached was because Messi got them there in the first place.

The difference was enormous: with Messi, Argentina reached finals; without him, they struggled even against much weaker opponents.

The 2022 World Cup wasn’t just about a great team—it was also about Messi bringing confidence, leadership, and belief to a group of players who followed him. He carried the responsibility while everyone else played their role.

Even in the latest World Cup, at 39 years old, Messi was covering huge areas of the pitch, playing 120 minutes repeatedly, and constantly finding new ways to win games almost by himself.

Most people will never care about these details or this context. Future generations will only look at trophies and short tournaments.

In the end, every argument people used against Messi eventually disappeared. They said he had no World Cup—he won it. They said he had no Copa América—he won it too.

To me, Messi is the most unfairly judged player in football history. No player has been blamed for more things beyond his control or had more false narratives attached to his name.

That’s Messi’s story—through logic, reality, and everything he had to endure.
