Whoever needs to hear this, this is for you. If you knowingly use ai, in any of its shapes or forms, ( outside of being forced to for your job ) you are insulting me & pretty much every creative person you think you admire. You’re doing harm & damage to people, the environment & your own self.

-- William Faulkner called "the human heart in conflict with itself." It's a very human story, emotional without being slow or dull or self-indulgent. It feels like stepping into a really good Spidey comic. Well done to all concerned (and even those unconcerned).

To be clear I've enjoyed all the Spider-Man movies. But for my money, this latest iteration feels most authentically Peter, and Spider-Man. So many comic movies have fallen into MacGuffin plots, looking for the code, the stone, the box, the sword...this one is all about what --

Just came back from the Marvel screener for #SpiderManBrandNewDay No spoilers. Loved it. Some people are calling it the "most grounded Spider-Man" movie of the current franchise. I can see that. To me, it was the Spider-Man movie that felt the most like a comic book brought to life.

The problem isn't Doom, it's the Deux ex machina. For Thanos, it was the Infinity Stones & they were introduced throughout the whole of the Infinity saga. Doom's motivation is, presumably, some consequence of the multiverse which Marvel has half arsed. That's the real problem leading into Doomsday.

Kevin Feige broke his silence about the way Marvel Studios has been building up Doctor Doom vs. Thanos and addressed fan complaints: "Doomsday is an introduction and story on Doom. You feel the onion and learn about him as you go." Read More: bit.ly/4fn1RMl

Nightwing's plummet from a main eventer to the midcard has been a painful one to watch. From an Eisner winning solo title to a painfully depressing solo book. From leading the DC Universe in 3 crossover events, to being a passenger in a B tier team book and barely mentioned in an ever expanding JLU.
