You missed the best part about the cat. It’s not her cat. It’s a stray cat that comes through her window and she gives milk to, and says “Us strays have to stick together.” Like who signed off on any of this 😭

[@ehmaherrera3870]

Madam Web literally took the plot line from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” where Holly shows how much she loathes relationships by not naming her cat, so she calls it Cat and feeds it everyday. It’s an important plot line to slowly show her vulnerability as she cares more about Cat, especially when it runs away and foreshadows her initial distance and eventual openness to her main love interest. That being she accepts she wants to BELONG to someone as she wants Cat to belong to her. I’m genuinely PISSED that Madame Web took such a raw ORIGINAL idea and then literally LAZILY dumbed it down to a “us strays got to stick together” throw away line to show literally NOTHING 🙄 THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THIS !!!

Just for some clarity--I think we are in the warned phase of movies/tv/content in which the writers strike warned us about pre-during the strike itself. So I'm not trying to blame it entirely on that, but I do think it is something to consider with film right now. Rushed plotlines under studio greed, underpaid and undervalued writers tired at changes at a whims notice, the general lack of care in craft because of burnout, everything is catching up to us. HOWEVER, since the strike, we may be in for an upcoming golden age in 1-2 years. Just thought I would put in my 2 cents.

I dont know how i dont know when i dont know why but one day i will be sitting and this movie will be playing

How much did the DC comics pay this guy to criticize this movie? Because it seems like he did not even watch the movie. The cat(in the movie) was a stray not her pet. Hence the no name

A lot of people hated this movie. The bad dialog was mostly bad. But a lot of the janky camera work felt like a choice. Madame Web is disoriented by her own power, and the camera work is doing that. One point I felt sick, right in the moment madame web also felt sick on the subway. The way the future seeing powers had like 3 different layers of detail was super interesting. In the beginning, we see scenes layout with very little visual ques to tell she is seeing the future. Then, as she starts to realize something is up, it gets more disoriented. Peeking at the subway scene where she and the viewer is sick. Then what I felt was the act 2 climax of going back to the pool she manages to get full visions of the past. She's then mastered her power, and they only give small glimpses of what she is seeing to the viewer to keep tension. Then she reacts with superhuman speed to explosions and is totally in control of what should be chaos. You said her power reveal was lame, but I feel that ignores the full mastery of the future seeing powers in the prior scene. You're right, the multiple astroprojected bodies to help the kids do pull ups lame. That power could have been shown off in a better way. But overall, the dialog choices were my biggest problem with the movie and even that is forgivable. They were very on the nose. Madame web had character development in my opinion. I felt like calling the cat "cat" was also a choice. She doesn't like attachment because she never really had attachment growing up. This is showcased by her hatred of the baby shower, refusal to go to the funeral, and not giving the cat she feeds often a name. She grows to accept the kids into her life and feel as though they are a family. The biggest misstep in my opinion was killing off the captain guy in the scene directly after he was introduced. Audience needed more time to care before killing random guy #1.

I watched this with my friends on my 19th birthday and it was a magical experience. 10/10.

Glad I got a Madame Web ad before the video

[@Hook2099]

I was warching another critic before this and he commented that "Morbius is the Dark Knight compared to Madam Web", pretty funny

[@squiggly2947]

I refer to my cat as cat all the time so it felt really natural to me lol her randomly very natural sounding lines made the experience even funnier bc its so jarring 😭

Increasingly there seem to be more movies like this… ones that I will never watch, but enjoy watching probably double the run-time of KZbinr reviews bashing them. Crazy. I feel rather sorry for the genuinely hard-working majority (crew, stunts, the army of poorly-treated vfx workers, the list goes on…) who help make these films, but don’t get to feel especially proud of their hard work.

Man, imagine if they’d just stopped at endgame and left the whole thing in like this, golden era. I know that’s an impossible scenario because, moniiiiiii, but wow, sometimes I just like to think about it 😢

I've not seen this yet, but I did see Morbius. I'm not a big fan of Marvel blockbuster films but I enjoy the ride when I do see one like 80% of the time. Morbius made me laugh as much as Aquaman but I was also bored a lotttt. My friend who I went to see it with was extremely excited for a) Jared Leto b) vampire movie c) Leto as a vampire, and she came out a little embarrassed in insisting on taking me. Anyway, these new 'good because bad' movies from the studio make me very happy because I enjoy them a lot more when the cracks are circled in big red marker pen. I always thought that it wouldn't take a lot to tip any Marvel movie to this territory, I really don't think there has been an excellent Marvel movie that don't rely on hype to prevent the eye rolling mass they deserve. Like I genuinely don't think there has been one that hasn't made me cringe or confused about the choices made. Maybe Ragnarok?
