comic books and their associated movies are for children
I dunno what saying this is supposed to accomplish. Lots of things that could be called "for kids" are lots of fun for anybody. Mrs. DevsBro and I literally took a dte a few weeks ago to one of those go-kart putt-putt laser tag places and had the most fun we had had in months.
But even though it doesn't make a difference what the target audience is, making an R-rated kids' movie is a pretty sure-fire way to make zero money.
the point is that arguing about the intellectual qualities of a movie where the plot is "teenage boy gets bitten by a spider and gains spider powers, and then fights a man who dresses up like an octopus" or "man dresses up as a crime-fighting bat and then fights a man dressed like a clown" is just inherently pointless.
nothing wrong with enjoying it but let's call a spade a spade
we got ourselves a real film connoisseur here guys, our plebeian tastes could never measure up to his refined standards ---
