    It felt like it was really good, but I’ll have to watch again to fully process everything. I didn’t quite buy the rumours about who Sadie Sink would be, so after the revelation of course I was thinking that she’d been getting up to some pretty messed up shit to later be redeemed. Of course, Spider-man in the state he’s in in this movie recognises that she’s totally alone and doesn’t have anyone, which creates this perfect arc for him to bring Jean back from the brink by reaching out and simultaneously allowing people back into his life again. The idea that someone who’s gone too far might still be redeemable is a big recurring theme in Charles Xavier’s speeches in the old movies, and maybe something we could do a bit better in real life.
