"When you take on great responsibility, great power will come" not only butchers a great line, it's just not true. Any idiot can have a kid, that doesn't mean you'll be a great parent. Any idiot can push the gas pedal, that doesn't make you a great driver.
100% spot on
This is the best and simplest analogy I read so far. So trueeee!
True, but the original line is equally nonsensical if you just look at the words being spoken. Great responsibility does not come with great power, but if you're a good person then it probably should, which is what uncle Ben was trying to say.
Makes more sense than this though.
Any idiot can make a movie doesn’t make it good.
@@goffe2282well actually what uncle Ben says is 100 percent true. If you are given great power then by proxy great responsibility is also given. For example, if you are made a king (power), then you have to rule (responsibility). Now you can be irresponsible by being a corrupt ruler, but the responsibility is still there. Another analogy is driving. When you are operating a vehicle (power), then you must follow the rules of the road (responsibility), or else you could harm someone. This is what Ben means by “with great power, comes great responsibility”
The madame web trailer playing right before the video…..they really tried to change my mind
Sony outdid themselves with this one. And we still have Kraven the Hunter to look forward to....
I......eh........yeah i guess?
Someone else I saw said it best - 'not every Spider-man side character needs a solo movie'
@legitdragon6202 exactly! These are good characters but they don't deserve their own films. They work better as villains or allies to Spider-Man.
Don't worry, I'm sure the film will provide some great background noise just like this one and Morbius.
@@legitdragon6202 I disagree, but it needs to be done with conscious care and planning. This is what comics do. All of the major studios seem to have a problem adapting from troves of good material like this. It's hard to comprehend how.
The Madame Web from the 90’s animated series had a pretty cool saga as far as I remember, she guides Peter through a series of challenges until she finally introduces him to alternate reality versions of himself, and they all team up to stop a power-corrupted Spider Carnage. We’re at a point where a 90’s saturday morning cartoon tells a better story than a 2024 live action movie
we've already been there. the x men cartoon did dark phoenix better than 2 films did lol
Don’t forget Batman The Animated Series being better than any DCEU film
lmao sydney sweeny trying to play an innocent shy dork is extremely low-hanging juxtaposition
That just makes her even hotter and more alluring in my eyes.
I think Sony has a fascinating tactic in making each successive movie worse than the one before, so by comparison each one looks better than it did before
yeah by the time Kraven comes out Morbius will be winning awards retroactively
I remember 10 years ago when the amazing Spider-Man 2 was considered the worst movie ever by everyone. By today’s standards compared to the output from the Sony spider verse it’s a masterpiece.
@@pcb1175Man, we had no idea how far we could fall.
It Sony lol right nowthey making movie to keep the Spiderman right. Most of their good writer got put in their gaming division.
@@khanhnguyen-tt3ff You mean we could have had a video game version of Madame Web or Aunt May instead of Peter Parker's Spooder-Man? Why that sounds INTERESTING, I'm sure it would have been a SUCCESS.
"Don't do dumb things," she says after they just followed a complete stranger into the woods...
“Don’t do dumb things”
Said Dakota Johnson, the star of the fifty shades of grey trilogy & Madame web
It's probably good advice tbh.
"Do as I say, not as I do"
It's Madame Time
It's Webbing Time
Oh ma damn
I think your comment about a high school drama and production team being able to do a better job than a major studio is extremely accurate and not an exaggeration AT ALL. That’s where Hollywood has been lately… so bad with writing, characters and plot that you think a high schooler or a RUclipsr just killing time with video making would do a much better job. That’s quite sad and how you know that Hollywood is just taking the money they can and not even trying anymore. Good shows and film are kinda rare now. If I didn’t have shows like House of the Dragon to still cling onto, I probably would’ve lost my mind by now. Because I’m a film nerd so this is just all very upsetting for me. So thanks to all writers and directors who still actually give a sh*t. You guys are keeping my sanity.
High school drama and production team at least will do it out of passion, this shit do it out of legal contract obligation
@@madtitan0825 Agree 100%
Yeah the movie poster has a tagline like 'They are connected by her web'. It sounds pretty lazy I don't know why 😂 like a grade schooler wrote it and thought it was clever, or someone had 5 minutes to turn it in and had to half-a** it lol
@@legitdragon6202 they just desperately want u to remember it’s all connected to Spidey lol
It's not that we think it, we Know it lol The proof is right here on RUclips. Heck I've seen better writing on Alter & Shutter in their 10 min mini movies.
How do writers these days manage to be SO bad?
Because it’s driven by woke ideology, not simply for the passion for the craft.
D.E.I.
They use AI to write these
The cringer they are, the higher they get paid
@@Grogman9868 Even the AI isn't capable enough to write this amount of stupidity
Here's what I did the day this film came out: First I had to go to the dentist for a filling. They had to numb me up, and it took TWO injections to fully numb my mouth. After that, I came home to find out my mom has COVID. So I had to then get a test to make sure I wasn't negative, and then I got a booster since it was a year since my last one. So now both my mouth AND arm hurt.
I LITERALLY spent the day getting stabbed by sharp painful objects, and I'd still say that was a more pleasant experience than watching this movie.
Knew I wasn't gonna watch this movie once I heard that the Morbius writers were doing it. Glad to hear that decision was vindicated.
I’m gonna watch it. For ironic enjoyment
I mean the first red flag was definitely the fact that it was being made by the same team as Morbius. lol.
It's morbius without the memes
chilling
My mom was in the forest then got bit by a spider then died and had me… Too wordy to remember as a meme… Can’t even remember it right…
It's morbin time
I wish. It's borin' time instead
I want to give a morbus a hug for how we treated it
its webbin time
3:25 I’m surprised they didn’t make a repetitive joke along the lines of “You Won’t Like Me When In *HUNGRY* “
This film costs 80 millions dollars?!?!?
In small, unmarked bills.
Calling it a waste is an understatement!!!!!
It's Funny How THIS FILM! Got GREEN LIT/MADE When a SEQUEL to DREDD(2012) STILL HAS NOT BEEN MADE!.... Ah THAT'S HOLLYWOOD FOR YAH!
Yes. I was so hoping you'd cover this. Amazing breakdown as always. Thank you so very much for the engaging reviews and when nessessary roasts.
Loved how you just got right to the point, no unnecessary dragging intros. I will use "volcanic trash fire" as an adjective now 😅
Oh, man! I'm really sad to hear this. Firstly, because I wanted to give the movie a chance. Secondly, I used to collect Spiderman comics over 15 years ago and when I started my collection Spidey was going through the Morlun story arc, the "mystic vampire" that hunted spidermen throughout the decades. During the stories of this time, Spidey often asked Ezequiel and Madame Web for advice, since the villains had a more mystical approach to the spider powers. I have very fond memories of these comics and stories and was looking forward to seeing them brought to life on the big screen, but I guess it won't happen so soon.
2017 power rangers was a blast
I met the music composer to this film today, hope this won't get to him. Was the music any good anyone?
"IT'S WEBBIN' TIME!"
On a sidenote, 2017 Power Rangers was actually enjoyable and deserved at least a sequel, it wasn't a masterpiece by any means but not THAT bad, it had some redeeming qualities
My favorite part was when Madame Web said "It's webbing time" and webbed all over the place
Fuck yeah
Dude, I never was going to watch it.
I’m from the UK and I wasted my time seeing The Iron Claw. Which was brilliant
Next theatre trip is for Dune Part 2 definitely
It's not a waste of time if its brilliant
@@SuperLander-nj1sd I know. I highly recommend it. It’s really sad but that Rush montage was awesome
Don't believe I've heard of Iron Claw
Mb, I've heard of it
@@SuperLander-nj1sd It’s got Zac Efron in one of his best performances. No, his best performance
Wasn´t this written when the Writers Guild was on strike last year? If this was written by humans, I could see the evil corporate exes thinking that AI would do a better job.
Or not better, just exactly the same shit, but way cheaper and quicker.
This was shot in 2022
@@thehallowayboys My bad. Thank you for the correction. Then this movie doesn't even have a somewhat of an excuse to be written so poorly.
I have no intention of seeing this move but I'm so excited to see youtubers like you react to this dumpster fire 😂
Hi Supercuts Delight, my name is Malcolm White, and I just wanted to say that I am such a big fan of your RUclips educational channel, and the value that you add to your video topics are absolutely incredible, and insightful as well. Please keep continuing to do this brilliantly motivational channel up, and running, my good friend! PS: Do you think that you can do a video topic about Bounce tv's Saints and Sinners.
It has the same director as the long night prequel bloodmoon
Maybe they'll release it twice. In theaters.
I hope so. I missed it the first time.
This time will be harder, we can't gaslight Sony twice
The central character - a person who gets brief, random, puzzling glimpses of bad incidents in the immediate future, and tries to change things for the better in the nick of time - is enough to build a GREAT movie. It wouldn't even need a villain or any of that spider nonsense. It would have the three canonical struggles of a good story:
Man against nature : the partial, confusing visions oblige her to desperately and hurriedly seek more information before each disaster comes to pass
Man against man : medical authorities diagnose hallucinations and want to detain her
Man against himself : after some of her corrective actions make things worse rather than better, she is tempted to quit her self appointed role.
But where are the writers who can handle real people in real situations? Were they ignored by Hollywood because they didn't tick enough checkboxes on the DEI spreadsheet?
you know whats crazy the cinematographer is the guy who did avatar, training day, and no way home. Mauro Fiore. all good movies, they look good. The editor also did no way home, also good. so why was this so bad?
Glad this channel is back! 😁
I knew that this movie was going to flop the moment I saw the trailer in theater. But oh boy I did not expect them to fck up this bad.
But did you watch it twice?
If I had watched it without knowing it was a big budget production from Sony I could easily have mistaken it for an Asylum Studios mockbuster knock-off of Spiderman.
Are these the same writers that were on a strike?
We keep lowering the bar on movies, shows, and just culture/society that there should be speakers set up playing the limbo song 24/7
What Madame Webb needs is Bully McGuire and Mobius edits.
I would really like to know your views on HBO show ‘Euphoria.’ I recently watched it and I found it so good and a show which should be discussed and appreciated. Could u make a video on it if u have watched it
supercuts did you hear about the upcoming series "shogun" ? it looks insanely promosing. a episode by episode review like tlou or hotd would be great
Taskmaster after everyone watches Madame Webb and is abysmally villian: "Miss me yet?"
Boring is always the cardinal sin in any creative endeavor.
Madame Web and Kraven were made by Sony for the sole reason to keep the media rights for these characters so they can be used in a future Spiderman PS5 game. Madame Web is in the comics a supporting character that was usually just to move the plot forward in the Spiderman comics.
Thing with Morbius though. From the trailers alone, I was genuinely interested. While I watched the movie and thought it was underwhelming, it was just like you said. It felt like a dream.
But from the trailers I’ve seen of Madame Webb. The way it was marketed, it just seemed so generic? It’s like, one of those live actions movies Disney would make.
They wasted Dakota and Sweeney, a topless spidergirl scene would have made.millions😂
Im glad i see ur vids and avoid atrocities like this
Idk if there’s any truth to this, but I read that Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney actually fired their agents over this, and that Dakota thought this was an MCU movie when her agent first secured her the job. Isabela Merced, meanwhile, literally went to DC to play Hawkgirl lol. Maybe a coincidence, or maybe she was so traumatized by this that she switched.
Either way, I feel bad for all of the actors in this movie, because none of them looked like they wanted to be there
I watched Kaylasays’ video on this movie the other day and she went to see the film with her boyfriend (her boyfriend happens to be a big Spider-Man comic fan) and he said it best that Sony in the presentation of this movie has created this worked mythology around spiders to make this movie work when the point of the Spider-Man lore is that Peter was a regular teen who happened to be bitten by a radioactive spider. It’s something that could happen to anyone and it happened to Peter. It creates a redundancy in that spiders are magical creatures.
And on the topic of the budget, I always think about how Leigh whannell had a budget of 3 million dollars and made the movie, upgrade. Which to me is one of the most unique and underrated movies in the last 10 years. What’s the point of having that big of a budget when you’re clearly not utilizing it?!
My favourite scene was when she shoots a web and it gets ripped up then she yells "my damn web!".
I saw this movie in theaters and when I left, I was unimpressed. I couldn't remember a single character name, except only two, the bad guy and Johnson's partner Ben. The acting from all the actors felt stiff, and uninteresting as though they weren't really trying to perform/act.
Come on, dracula untold was pretty good
I love that movie!
Best adaptation of a vampire I've seen in colour
No it fucking wasn't
@@EsteemedReptile What was the problem with it?
I am eternally grateful to you, sir. I almost wasted 120 minutes of my life on this dumpster fire that I would have never gotten back
Im shocked, i really thought that after the run of terrible sonyverse films, this was going to be the one that changes its. The one where they have Dokota Johnson playing Madame Web.
5:41 I actually WENT to that school. 😂
After I finished watching Morbius I just felt sad. Usually after bad movies I have a laugh. Sounds like Madame Web is more of the same.
I’m responsible for 4 cats. Still waiting on my power. My kitty kat powers…
She gets hit with a firework and gets blind
the best scene was when Sydney sweeney said "Its Madam,n time" and madamed all over the generic villain
Yeah that got me hard
You could really consider going to the EFAP Podcast to talk about this movie. I think youd be a perfect guest with a lot of insight
To this day, I still don't get the hate surrounding the Marvels. The only thing I could remember genuinely disliking in that movie was a dialogue between Fury and Danvers where Carol says something about negativity or some shit. Overall, I think it was a fun movie. Kamala and her family carried the movie!
I really liked it
Sony: we need to create a spider verse similar to the mcu to make billions of dollars.
Also sony: lets make the worst movies imaginable.
This movie had the same budget as The Creator...that's wild! While I wish the story of The Creator was more nuanced, it was by no means a slog to sit through in my opinion. Madame Web on the other hand immediately raised red flags just from the quality of the trailer alone. It's disappointing to hear that the studio probably made this just to hold onto IP instead of actually *caring* about telling a good story with said IP.
Madame web was unintentionally the funniest movie I’ve ever seen in cinema. My fav part was the villain walking around barefoot in every scene he’s in for absolutely no reason
imagine if he stepped on a bed of nails hehe
Ahaha….You’ve got some real bangers bro! It’s hilarious when you start shred’n’ em up. Lol,,, 🤷🏻♂️ but thanks for the heads up!
I really hated that awkward close focused 180 pan around they kept doing on her
Madame Web legit becomes Bran at the end...
Its like someone tried to make Charlies angels without watching Charlies angels
At this point in entertainment industry reviews are more entertaining than movies themselves
Somebody is pocketing the change
PLEASE do a Devoid of Logic video for Madame Web!!!🙏🏻
I would love to see you just absolutely destroy this dumpster fire of a movie through memes GOT S8 style.😂👏🏻
Hot Take: As soon as Beyond The Spider-Verse airs, I want Sony and/or Disney to quit making Spider-Man movies forever.
Beyond is sony
It’s Madam web time
Pepsico Bro 🤠
I saw this because I was entertained by Dakota's aloof attitude towards this. That was probably for a reason lol
Why is that man barefoot on the train?
To be fair, Matt Smith carried that entire movie on his back. He’s the only reason I didn’t walk out tbh 😂
Morbius solos.
Didn’t even bother checking in with the trailer which seemingly came out of nowhere not surprising tho 😂😅
I got a feeling it's studio interference in the story and editing to make it " a safe bet" because most producers treat movies like a investment instead of art
The problem with Madame Web actually really lies with how everyone reacted to Morbius, bc I get it was all ironic, but we all made a bunch of memes about a bad movie and trusted a large corporation wouldn't cash in on that WHAT WERE WE THINKING
I believe this movie was made as either a tax write-off or Sony's attempt to retain the Spider-man license.
This must've part of the spooderman universe.
If it was the first one, they wouldn't had released it at all and keep the money for the promotion
@@NekoHibaCosplay Most likely the second option.
They probably could've had more luck just making a Spider-Woman movie starring Sydney Sweeney.
The thing is it could’ve been decent if they just adapted the Spiderwoman Volume 3 storyline. You have Cassandra in her mid 40’s, you change Charlotte Witter from being her granddaughter to her abandoned daughter, have Charlotte be the villain instead of Ezekiel going after spider powered women to become THE Spiderwoman and have Matty gain Charlottes spider legs at the climax of the movie via magic ritual rather than mid way. Far more interesting, closer to the source material and doesn’t infringe on Spider-Man at all.
But I honestly don’t get why they went for this in the first place as there is no brand synergy right now, in the comics Cassandra and Matty are dead, Julia is the current Madam Web and Anya is well as forgettable as ever as it’s not like there’s a fan base looking for this movie nor will new fans get anything out of looking for these characters in comics other than reading older stories which will not relate to the characters they see on screen. It’s like someone said what if we have a movie where the villain is a dark Spider-Man and they said well e could use Ezekiel who really wasn’t a villain to being with.
i don't like how they changed her, madame web was supposed to have spider powers with the ability to see the future and she was supposed to control the threads of fate for all the spider totems throughout the multiverse, in the comics she is not a hero but an ambiguous entity/person who helped spiderman in major ways during his biggest issues and she had her own dimension the webs of fate where she could see and read each spider Totem's fates
They filmed like two house down from me, too bad they fumbled the bag hard
It’s Madam Webin’ time
Maybe getting the guys who wrote Morbius and Gods of Egypt was a bad idea.
so they weren’t even spider woman?? she just could see them becoming that??
It's wild that Sony won't learn their lesson
Wait, Sony is _still_ trying to make a Spider-Man cinematic universe without Spider-Man? I thought they gave up after they got morbed.
Even godzilla minus one only costs 15 million lol
VENOM had the writer from 50 SHADES OF GREY (who is also directing VENOM 3)
MORBIUS had the writers from GODS OF EGYPT (Who are also behind MADAME WEB)
And KRAVEN THE HUNTER has the writers from TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT
AVI ARAD ruined everything again
And he isn't even involved in MADAME WEB
Too late, I already seen it but I seen it on the firestick and I'm glad I seen it there because wasting $40 at the movies to watch that is insane.
Wow i just got an Ad from madam Web right before this
get yt premium!
I only found out about this movie existing through RLM
Just know the more we bash movies, the less creators will feel like creating.
I have only seen the trailer but Jesus is it visually disgusting. Is Sony trying to make garbage?
I made it as far as the spider people living in the jungle and that's all she wrote for me...
