This movie is a movie that made some choices and half of me wants to make a mediocre YouTube movie review channel just to rant about how weird it is. You should do it. I want to see if you actually have pink hair and live in a graveyard.

The others presently announced are Sinister Six, Nightwatch, Jackpot, El Muerto (they uncancelled it last month for some idiot reason), and Hypno-Huster. I really wonder how long they're going to keep doubling down because they keep losing money on this and every one of them is a punchline at this point. They can't possibly dig themselves out of the hole they're in at this juncture. Sinister Six isn't a terrible idea. In competent hands, that could be fun. But of course, this is Sony so given the trackrecord, it isn't going to be competent hands. I thought you were joking about Hypo-Hustler, but I just checked and it's legit. LOL is there a single person on the planet calling out for a Hyno-Hustler movie? He's a completely D-list villain. In fact, he's below D-LIst. He's a non-entity. It’s me. I’m the fan.

Despite it's failure, Sony apparently is doubling down on making films

I'd actually love a Sinister Six movie from the POV of a low level villain who's the straight man surrounded by crazies and egomaniacs. Somebody like the Sony universe Shocker realizing halfway through the film he's in a way over his head and basically trying to get out while not getting himself killed or arrested in the process.

I could see that or make it like a wacky screwball comedy where they keep trying to kill Spider-Man but keep bungling it for each other without him actually having to do anything.

I wasn't sure what part of this film I find weirdest, but after a week or so of thinking I'm gonna say the Taxi.
If you've seen it, you know.

I'm not gonna put this in spoilers. The movies been out for two weeks now, if you haven't seen it you're not going to and I doubt anybody cares enough about it now.
So in another thread I said this movie takes place in 2003 and I could not for the life of me think of a single reason why it needed to take place in 2003. After some contemplation, here's my best theory - Sony were really hoping to convince Disney/Marvel to canonize this to the MCU as showing the birth of the Tom Holland version of Spider-Man. The 2003 date would be a bit of a stretch, but it would more or less work as a birth year for him. It would also explain why both Uncle Ben and Peter's Mom (two character I don't think we've ever seen in the MCU) are featured in it, but Aunt May is nowhere to be seen. They really didn't want to have to find an actress that looks like Anger Management-era Marisa Tomei.
By the way, Ezekiel's computer hacker sidekick woman, is she based on a comic character? Because I have no idea who she's supposed to be. She just disappears from the movie with no resolution as well, doesn't she?

I will say I got a laugh out of Sydney Sweeney introducing herself on SNL with the line, “You may have seen me in Anyone But You or Euphoria, you definitely did not see me in Madame Web.”

The "SONY" logo at the start of any movie has now supplanted "Platinum Dunes" and "Vertical Entertainment" as the most obvious signifier that the movie I'm about to watch is going to be absolutely terrible.

It's sole hope to lessen the bleeding was for it to be a big hit in China and it flopped there as well.

I'm just waiting for her to do one interview for the movie, whether it be now or in the future, where she basically throws up her hands and says, "Between Madame Web and the Fifty Shades trilogy, I have gazed into the bottom of the barrel and it has gazed into me."

Pretty much already is. uk.yahoo.com/news/dakota-johnson-candid-ever-comes-095625966.htmlObviously it sounds like the script changed up a lot, and Sony are definitely a studio prone to death by committee and interference. But it's also sounding like the MCU theory is true. That Johnson thought, or her talent agency thought, she was signing up to do a proper MCU film, not Sony's odd Spidey-only corner of Marvel. Hence why the agency got ditched. Might seem a little far-fetched no-one did due diligence on all this, but it seems increasingly plausible, and that Johnson wasn't the only one roped into this production in the same way. Hell, I think the Bill Murray thing around Garfield and the Coen Brothers some twenty years ago now was the point where I realised even smart and well-connected actors and creators can make really dumb moves at times. When your name is on that dotted line, it's on there.

I saw a headline that Hideo Kojima had just seen Madame Web.
I'll assume he said that it all made perfect sense to him.

As for Dakotas agents I guess they just really wanted a superhero payday and didnt do their diligence.
