Episode 3 was great. Also really excited about the “uncle.”

Waiting until they are all out and I can binge them.

    I’ll avoid the thread. Spoil away!

    Spoiler, Jeremy Renner sucks.

    Off to see the new Spider-Man tomorrow. Skipped the last one in theatres (rightly so, it’s IMO the second worst movie in the MCU after Thor The Dark World, Mysterio sucks as a villain), but the reviews for this one made brave the masses. Although movie theatres here have covid passports.

      Homegrove My stepson is seriously pissed I’m not going, but I cannot stand that runt who plays Spiderman.

      That’s £15 saved and two hours down the pub whilst they fuck off out the house.

        Dan I reckon after Barman, Spiderman is now my least favourite movie franchise, too many reboots and continuous bad casting choices. Although, in fairness, it’s a bit like rating ‘my least favourite dog shites that I barely notice’.

          They go like a runt ro play Peter Parker, for sure. Next up: Eddie Redmayne (shivers) and/or Smallman.

          Amps Barman sounds like a great chacter, deffo a brummie-accent. Tom Holland’s the most comic accurate Spider-Man to date so there is that. IMO of course.

            Homegrove Who fuckin cares, there’ll be another one along in five minutes. Hollywood at it’s absolute worst.

            Is Spiderman just a bit too wet to ever be of any interest? Defo feels more suited to the animated versions.

            Barman, can’t quite pin down his super powers, but can’t get away from him looking like Al Murray’s ‘Pub Landlord’.

              Amps but can’t get away from him looking like Al Murray’s ‘Pub Landlord’.

              Well only when he’s not in his superhero costume, obvs.

              Saw Spiderman this morning. Left the cinema satisfied 👍🏻

                Amps I hear the Incal has been given the green light to be made into a film. Firstly, not everything needs to be a film. Secondly, this really doesn’t need to be a film. Thirdly, just fuck off. Forthly, I’m willing to put my copy of Disk 2 on them including the probe droid, because, you know, fan service is everything these days, and fuck the actual story.

                See my point above. Not the most action packed of books. Tedious at times. Can imagine this being a slow burning, claustrophobic number, as there is little story. Think Ad Astra, but somehow worse.

                Her playing Kleopatra has also pissed off some people with feelings about Palestine.

                Really liked the new Spider-Man. It also managed to surprise me a few times.

                So the new Spider-Man movie took in nearly 600 million dollars on it’s opening weekend. Third biggest opening EVER. Just in time too, as many countries are closing cinema’s again.
