Still not letting myself watch Spider-Man (2002) again bc I donโ€™t wanna lose my marbles over it again butttt
That last post reminded me how differently characters are handled in ~20 years with No Way Home (2021)โ€ฆ.namely my normie gobby babygirl ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿ’šโœจ
NWH kinda has that flavor of the โ€˜you fell for the characters charade which you are meant to dismantle!! ๐Ÿ˜‚โ€™ post. Like awwww donโ€™t you feel bad for him, audience? He killed someone but he didnโ€™t knowwww ๐Ÿฅบ he just needs help and heโ€™s soooo sorry ๐Ÿฅบ heโ€™ll be better now for sureโ€ฆ
Which is funny because he tries that appeal to forgiveness in the first movieโ€ฆas a trick to do more harm! And that thirst for revenge (for damage to his fragile ego) is what kills him. He decides to indulge in his worst impulses and suffers the consequences for it. Killed with his own weapons he developed for the US military to kill other people with. Love that for him ๐Ÿ’š
Iโ€™m not the type to be like โ€˜clearly The Studio does not understand the character as good as Meโ€™ because thereโ€™s a lot at play between the two movies. There are differences because of studios, writers, directors, audience expectations (especially for superhero movies), etc etc etc. But I do find it funny that jumping ahead 20 years they want me to pity the big corporate weapons guy and root for him to get a second chance (arguably his third) because suddenly itโ€™s not his choice and thus not his fault (?) anymore. I love him sooooooo so much but I would prefer he be killed again actually ๐Ÿ’š
