If it's animated they deserve a pass
Comment on Dakota Johnson on ‘Madame Web’ Blowback: “I’ll Never Do Anything Like It Again”

The real lesson here is never be in a Sony superhero movie. 9 times out of 10 they fuck it up.

The Spider-verse movie are some of the best comic book movies ever made. Sony should, um, maybe make more of those best movies ever made.

Honestly the DC animated movies are mostly great. Not high art or amazing, but fun superhero films.
My guess is that the animated department has way less oversight

Harley Quinn is excellent, too. Snarky & queer!

The only main DC movie I’d recommend is The Flash tbh. My expectations weren’t high, but it’s better than most of the other shit from the last few years of self-indulgent superhero rubbish.
That and James Gunn movies are pretty much all that’s worth your time.

I'm glad to hear that The Flash is good. It has Zack Snyder's Batman and Flash so I'm looking forward to watching it close out the DCEU, but I haven't dragged myself into seeing Shazam or Black Adam yet...who knows when (or if!) I'll ever watch those.

While I understand that opinion. I think low stakes, or a non tentpole movie. If it’s big enough to make some executive look good, they’re bound to stick their soulless noses in and screw shit up.

I was originally thinking about this while looking up some background actor.
Like, for many of these folks, these shitty movies pay bills. Many aren’t living a life of luxury. And if you get chosen for a Sony superhero film, And the pay is good, why not take it?

Integrity?
TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I can eat, keep the lights on, and have enough left over to not worry for a little bit. Otherwise I can starve on someone else’s principles.
There’s nothing morally wrong with being in a bad movie. Even if you meant artistic integrity (which is what I really assume) there has always been a lot of bad art (music, movies, plays, paintings, books, whatever) produced. There’s no shortage of people who want to be a part of that for reasons ranging from surviving to having a good time.
If you don’t like something, don’t watch it, read it, listen to it, or look at it. Don’t accuse others of not having integrity just because you can’t fathom why they do what they do.

But when they get it right they really get it right. The whole Miles Morales storyline came out of no where and fucking exploded.
GoodEye8@lemm.ee 3 months ago
In my mind it was great because it was an animation and execs think anime is dumb, so they won’t meddle with it. If they ever make a live action Miles Morales story it’s going to suck.
fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
They saw the success and decided to meddle with the second one. Which is why they absolutely had to spend a whole minute on the spiderman pointing meme.
Illuminostro@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Hence, the 1 out of 10. I agree, the Morales series is very good.

Is it some sort of scam where they have to make the movie or they lose the rights to them? I can’t think of any other reason for shit like Morbius.
Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 3 months ago
Yep. If you watched madam web you will clearly know how bad the movie looks. The spider lotus fan film is better than madam web. That’s how bad it is. Morbius atleast had decent visuals.

How long will I have to wait before someone says “it’s webbin time” cause i don’t think I can handle that kind of disappointment
Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 3 months ago
It won’t happen. Don’t worry. Tbh there’s a chance where the morbius meme might’ve been an advertisement by sony. Or maybe they jumped onto it after seeing potential that they even re released it the 2nd time lol. It failed. So they won’t do that shit again. Small conspiracy but the amount of time the meme/shitpost lasted makes me suspicious.

The visual effects at times were good but those moments were rare. The first appearance of Las Arañas was awful - the costume design and effects totally put me off. It had so much potential but Sony didn’t commit to making this film. They phoned it in and ruined the introduction of an influential character in the comics.
Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 3 months ago
Tbh I never saw the potential. For me it was clearly another quick cashgrab or a money laundering project from sony. I honestly think there should be a way for actors to sue production companies over their atrocities called movies.
Illuminostro@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Yes. That’s good they’ve kept Spiderman.
