Madame Web co-star Emma Roberts remains loyal to the movie, suggesting it never stood a chance against the internet.
Considering what I posted earlier, this is perfect timing! 😆

I watched the movie. I am the target audience for the movie. I want an expanded spiderverse.
The movie was bad. Really bad. Direct to VHS bad. Terrible movie. The actors were OK, but the script was garbage and the plot was nonsensical. Why did the bad guy sound like Schwarzenegger in Hercules in New York? Why did the special effects look so bad? None of the super powers made sense. The costumes looked ridiculous and amateur.
The movie was bad.
There are a lot of misogynists online that took special glee in watching the movie fail. They piled on to make everyone aware of how bad a female-led superhero movie was.
There are a lot of film critics who are tired of comic book movies and enjoy trashing every comic book movie as it comes out. They also piled on in the hopes that they could signal the end of comic book cinema.
So, she’s not wrong. This movie never stood a chance against all of the people online who were hoping it would fail, because this movie was a hot, wet, splattery fart.
If we want to talk about the way people trashed The Marvels, that’s a different conversation. The Marvels wasn’t great, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as critics and misogynists wanted it to be. Pro-tip, anyone using the word “woke” in their critique is a dipshit with an agenda. Disregard their opinion whole cloth.
I just watched the marvels a few weeks ago. It was fun!
Exactly! It wasn’t meant to be some sort of heavily philosophical Seedish impressionist movie. It was fun and entertaining.
I really liked it. Definitely could have been tighter, and the ending was not well thought out, but absolutely a fun movie. I like Ms Marvel as a character.
Until you think about Dance Party planet and how it was destroyed.
Once it was over, I had the feeling Disney only made it so they had a place to put the after-credits scene.
I thought they made it so they’d have a place for a Bollywood dance scene.
Which I’m not against. Bollywood dance scenes kinda rock.
That might be the most scathing review I’ve read yet. Damn 😆
These people love to shit on “angry incels on the internet” for their movie doing poorly completely ignoring all the loved successful female led movies that aren’t hot garbage.
Sarah Connor, Ripley, spiderverse Gwen are all great characters.
It’s worth mentioning that each of those characters have been in poorly received movies. Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection, Genisys and Dark Fate, and the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies (all of which I enjoyed more than most people, except for Alien 3 which was actual garbage).
You’re right, but angry incels on the internet exist. They shit on everything they think is “woke” and feel validated when movies like this fail. They should not feel valudated. I’d rather go see a shitty movie than give a bigot the benefit of the doubt. In this case, the movie was bad, but not because it was “woke.” So both things can be true.
