So over the weekend, I watched The Marvels and Madame Web with the Wife... between the two, I thought The Marvels was the better movie. As far as the two Marvel animated series that I'm watching, I've made it up to season two of X-Men: The Animated Series, no progress on Ultimate Spider-Man though.

Marvel Comics

Ultimate Spider-Man #2

So people seeing the reviews of Madame Web? Sounds like we got another Morbius level film. I got to watch it to see how horrible it really is. Loved Dakota Johnson's press for the film saying she not seen any of the Marvel films, nor her own film.

I want to want to see Madame Web and I likely will at some point, but I'm not expecting much frankly.

Madame Web will not be watched by me. Other than the Spider-Man movies, I don't think I've watched any of the Sony Spider spin offs. Venoms, Morbius, I think that's it? Maybe can get on board with Kraven because he's such an awesome character but we'll see what people think of that one this fall.

I also recently watched the Marvels. It was...fine. Did not care about the villain at all, lack of any real story or motivation in my opinion. Iman Vellani was the easy highlight of the movie. And the Flerkens.

I enjoy the Venom movies, did not care for Morbius though.

From what I heard, Madame Web is well worth watching simply because of how very bad it is.

You and I have different criteria for 'worth watching'. 

Just finished watching Webb, and it was fun. Average early 2000's superfilm, that is unintentionally hilarious. Honestly, just swapping out Johnson would have made it a success IMO. The writing is not great, but Johnson is fucking awful. As was the implication this was even a superhero movie, which it is not at all.  

Still liked it more than the Captain Marvel or the Eternals.

Also think the three teen girls who go on to become spider-women would make for a killer series, as the girls were great. Johnson was just so unbelievably awful there was no saving this film.  These girls killed their rolls though and had great chemistry together.

Still had fun watching it, and plan to watch again with a group as soon as it is hits a legal streaming service.

Who are these even for?

c, my biggest issue, is that..

SPOILER: Click to show

every scene in the movie, with them in costume, is shown in the trailer, or at least it feels like it anyway. I was definitely disappointed that you only see them suited up un premonitions.

You forget the DC link Lony?

Not that it matters I'm sure most use this thread for posting regular talk.

IKR? They fucking did a hard ass bait and switch from the trailer. Expect superheros, get Johnson running over shit with her car.

Do find it funny after two bad films people still think Kraven will be good.

Haven't seen Carnage yet, but I'm guessing they just got lucky with Venom? Even then I know not everyone liked it...

Nah it's there.

I just forgot to add the DC: part of it.

My bad, Ness.

Also, for anyone that might care, Netflix's live action Avatar: The Last Airbender, comes out on Thursday.

Carnage was more Venom basically.  It was goofy fun.  But carried by a great cast.  Could see too the people doing it were having fun with it.  The other films, people did not care and you could tell.

DAREDEVIL #6
GODS 5

How is the new Ultimate Spider Man?

Got a grievance with DC, loves me some Guy Gardner so picked up How to Lose Guy Gardner in 10 Days for some great Guyjinx…and that’s just the first damn story, rest is about other characters. Bastards Buster Scruggs’d me. Also:

Batman
Batman/Superman: World's Finest
Catwoman
Green Lantern: War Journal
Justice League vs Godzilla vs King Kong
Nightwing
Superman
Titans
Wonder Woman

Cobra Commander
Walking Dead Deluxe

Daredevil
Edge of the SPider-Verse
G.O.D.S.
Guardians of the Galaxy
Incredible Hulk
Rise of the Powers of X
Spider-Boy
Ultimate Spider-Man
X-Force

That's why we digital. 9.99 but you only read 20/150 pages? Sucks unless it's free...

Haven't read it yet. Will probably wait until I have 4-6 issues built up.

Ultimate is def new feeling. It's not what you expect.

I forgot to mention it earlier, but at least Isabela Merced gets a shot at Redemption, as Hawkgirl.

Finished She Hulk, really think only episode 1 had the cringe otherwise it was pretty good. Shame we won't see more as I think going in this direction for street stuff could be fun. Got me thinking, who has more bodies Murdoch or Grayson? And I will say the lead has a great smile.

She Hulk is likely to be back in Daredevil.

Lony, where's my new nerd thread?! (sorry, been super busy myself)
