Spider-Man: Brand New Day is actually melting the brains of people who can't see a character do actual bad things and have layered reasoning in a movie. Amazing. They're so in-deep conditioned by actual fascist storytelling that one fairly well-written and mildly challenging movie broke them.

Now this is fair to criticize - an Odyssey movie with Patel as Odysseus would be great but obviously not THIS Odyssey where it would be pretty bad to frame a brown guy as a symbol of the failings of American imperial policy.

In this piece, I regret the paragraph about the uses of the POC actors - who are all great, but IMO under-utilized (and why couldn‘t Himesh Patel be Odysseus instead?) I still think the film largely wastes its strong cast, but I framed it badly.

crazy the chokehold classical narrative and hero's journey bs have on people that they can't bring themselves to engage with one of the most beautiful pieces of sheer craft and free poetic dramaturgy bc they'll check out at the slightest sign of something off the curve. Anyway HER PRIVATE HELL rules

I've been a PlayStation owner all my life since PS1. Have never owned a single XBox console and was radicaly team Sony during the console wars in my teens. Chipping in to say it out loud that yes, if the next XBox keeps the disc drive and retains the physical media format, I WILL switch to XBox.

modern godzilla shit loves 2 treat the breath weapon like the craziest shit in the world. of immense importance and gravitas. u gotta feel it in your balls lifting up when he shoots that thing. but back in showa n heisei he just throwing it out like it's a command normal. dont even cost meter.

look i KNOW these are production stills and not footage but yikes. Terrible first look. Stale, no personality, bordering on the 2002 TV movie. We'll see how it goes but from these the 2013 version is owed a big time apology.
