No one asked for this movie and the plot sounds completely fucking stupid. The fact they kept Ben and Mary Parker in it despite apparently having to drop the entire Spider-Man-related plot line is even more stupid.

Sony thinks anything spidey related will sell. Hell, apparently sony wants to toby and Andrew to return for the next spiderman movie and Marvel wants something smaller.

It probably will bomb, but I'm looking forward to it and I will definitely but the 4K. I've liked all the SSU movies thus far.

Venom and Morbius are legitimately in my top 10 Marvel movies of the past 16 years.

Also, I think the plot of Madame Web sounds great. They probably won't go into the thriller aspect as much as I'd like, but a Final Destination-esque superhero movie with Ezekiel Sims being an evil Spider-Man trying to murder the Spider-Women he envisioned killing him sounds fun.

More entertaining than the lackluster stuff Marvel Studios has been putting out lately. Couldn't even get through Secret Invasion or Echo.

The same two writers for Morbius wrote this. Also two women wrote for MW.

I fully expect when the movie bombs, the two women writers will be blamed for it.

Tom Hardy, word-of-mouth, Venom's relative popularity as a character, and it being a decent turn-your-brain-off superhero flick to serve as antidote to the MCU's 'homework requirement' sold that movie a lot further than anyone expected.

Can't say I see Madame Web hitting all or even some of those notes, but ya never know.

Madame Web in the comics was an elderly, blind, paralyzed mutant. She was clairvoyant, telepathic and had precognition. The movie is doing their own version, making her young and able-bodied, but keeping the mind powers.

Basically the plot of the movie is that both Madame Web and Ezekiel Sims (also artistic license'd) can see the future. Ezekiel Sims sees three Spider-Women being the cause of his death, so he's trying to murder them before they get their powers, with Dakota Johnson's Madame Web trying to save them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGfWAJJ7fq8

It's been described as a thriller, reminiscent of Final Destination.

In an interview with Total Film, director SJ Clarkson said "It's a thriller at the end of the day and it was exciting to be able to have those thriller-slash-horror moments." when they brought up the comparisons and blood.

I personally think the talk of it being an actual thriller is just marketing hype like how Multiverse of Madness was going to be the MCU's first horror movie but I'll take what I can get.

It's a poorly known IP, stuck in a genre that is having a rough time, from a studio that hasn't been able to put out well received movies.

It not bombing would have always been the more shocking result.

Dakota Johnson is playing Cassandra Webb.

Edit: I should note that she does briefly get her youth back when she becomes immortal, but that's not what they're doing here.

It looked boring, like an attempt to meld prime time TV police or hospital drama with superheroes. I guarantee there is an audience for something like that, and it could probably be done well - but I dunno if it's going to draw the audience they want.

Then the rabid misogynist online culture will declare it "went woke and got broke" - because a female superhero is automatically bad now.

I still have no idea how or why this was greenlit.

I know they wanted to add more spider characters but why? Theyre all mostly like minded super heroes with the same power sets who all do the same things.

Sure you can differentiate them but at that point why not just use whole other heroes?
