Crazy how quickly this movie is making money. This movie should in theory have less draw than No Way Home and people are eating it up. Shows what a good story can do. There is for not at least no Spider-Man fatigue.
I hope the lesson here is not “just make more Spider-Man” movies.
Unlike before now there has been widespread discussion and criticism of facial recognition software. So to not touch the general dislike towards it and just use it like any other tool is “trying to normalise it”. Also Tom Cruise using mass surveillance is way different than the Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man using it. This in my opinion was a deliberate push by Disney. Why do you think they are making Spider-Man of all characters always having an AI assistant?
I guessed the Edith reply was coming. You’re right on that. But it’s funny to me that MCU Spidey took 8 movies to “grow” as a character and yet he repeats the exact same mistakes. It’s tiring atp.
They are giving him ai because it’s kind of everywhere now? There’s even been ai characters and villains for some time now in comics. Hell, Ultron was ai. I assume it’s getting more flack because it’s topical. Spider-Man not learning from his mistakes is a pretty common staple. It’s been a really long time since I’ve read one of the comics, but rising and falling is kind of his thing. Batman and Superman have similar character structures in that they tend to stay the same. I guess one can argue that Nolan’s Batman tried to be different since he actually managed to quit.
I don’t think you understand my point. Have fun watching Peter Thiel Parker.
