Two tropes I love equally. ♡

I kinda liked Madame Web. It worked fine as an origin story for Cassie:
1. I know they were some weird plot holes and things that could have been executed better. And since this movie was not a part of the mcu, the writers didn't have the excuse that they'd have to go through 50000 movies and shows to make sure there's no plot holes. They could have focused on their story and ensured it was solid. But alas in this house we give female led superhero projects a chance.
BUT
2. I liked how originally the disease was supposed to take her sight, and her mother fought to prevent that and she did. She'd have lost her sight and been a mutant (according to the comics) if her mother wasn't so dedicated to saving her. But she couldn't really escape her fate and eventually lost her sight in the final fight and the spiders gave her powers.
3. Ezekiel was a fun 'spider people' villain. There was something a little more scary about having a villain that uses physical combat and powers to fight 4 heroes with no powers / only precog or mental powers. And him brutally killing the 4 of them in Cassie's visions was kinda dark. Ezekiel is a dope villain name for some reason too.
4. Peter Parker being only the side plot was kinda fun. I loved a young Mary Parker played by Emma Roberts and the constant little hints about who her baby is. The last scene where Anya (I think) tells Cassie that Ben is enjoying being an uncle with none of the responsibility and Cassie responds with like.... that's what he thinks. That was oddly depressing bc she knew Mary wouldn't live long despite her being perfectly fine.
5. The time setting was a win for me. And all the 2000s bops. I need a coat like Cassie's.
6. The teens behaved like teens. They weren't over the top like Pretty Little Liars or Euphoria or something. But they also weren't as unique as Kamala. They were just normal girls, who were good enough people that I'd believe they'd become the superheroes Cassie envisioned.

While in the theater seeing "Madame Web" for a second time, I got to thinking how in a better, brighter universe, there would have been some kind of fast food tie-in promotion for this movie, with little Madame Web toys for children. Here, I have illustrated the concept as it exists in my heart, with both the toys and the box they would have come in. 🖤

Just finished The Librarians and, loved it, truly, such a good show and I will be obsessing over all the characters for the foreseeable future and watching the sequel series when it comes out but I have a Bone To Pick with that season 4 finale because WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY TIME TRAVELED THE ENTIRE SEASON OUT OF EXISTANCE???
The LiTs don't meet Ezekiel's mother and go on the most sibling-coded mission of their entire lives???
The team doesn't see Flynn actively choose his family over the library, even when his literal hero is telling him to do otherwise???
They never go to the team building camp???
Cassandra never goes to that "safest town in America" place and leads an entire community to face their fear???
Stone and Ezekiel don't get possessed by the spirits of two brothers whose love for each other ended a decades-long feud in the middle of a war specifically because the brothers knew they loved each other enough to make the same choice???
JENKINS DOESN'T JOIN A DND PARTY????????
Like yeah, Eve and Flynn remember and I guess they could have told them all but you're telling me none of the other characters remember the entire SEASON??? This is like when they memory wiped Ezekiel's time loop character development away but on crack I am distraught.
Also I'm actually fascinated by Christian Kane being the only confirmed reprisal how the hell are they planning on explaining everyone else being gone and Stone only being a reoccurring character I'm so afraid

absolutetly commendable of the librarians to let the weird bisexual neurodivergent math girl be the one with the most pull.
like you got the usually popular archetypes of "badboy w a heart of gold" and "daddy issues" and then cassandras just like science :) and every girl in a 10 miles radius is like pls eat me out im begging
