Nobody says they were masterpieces. But they were entertaining - and excellent at it as far as cheap entertainment goes -, now they're just sad to watch. I followed it closely until No Way Home, that was my closing point. From now on, I'll only watch Spider-Man movies because I'm a huge fan of the character. Couldn't care less about the multiverse they're selling
Would also recommend GOTG3 if you enjoyed the first two films, I'd personally say it's my favourite of the trilogy
Yeah, I was worried because of how shit MCU movies have become, but James Gunn's still got it.
That and No Way Home were going to be the last I was going to watch, and I’m still trying to work up the energy (?) to watch the latter. I will, eventually, I guess, but with the Spiderverse movies being A Thing, it feels pointless.
Oh they do be selling it that's for sure. I haven't checked in to Spider Man since Enter the Spiderverse, which I thought was really cool. Marvel I didn't even like the style of the first movies, but I felt obligated to see them since I was technically part of what is now "nerd culture," and I think a lot of us felt the same obligation to see them for nerd cred. Now they've just commodified it to shit and milking every drop they can out of it.
