Bravest doesn’t have a point. Bravest never has a point. He just sees that something is popular and reverse engineers some pseudo-intellectual horseshit to justify being a petulant, contrarian jackass. Then, if people make the mistake of actually engaging with him and pick apart his horseshit, he just plugs his ears and yells “Nuh-uh!!!”

Mel Mudkiper posted:You don't think there is a tangible sense of anxiety behind corporate ownership of the character behind the story? No. That’s someone forcing a movie into a tortured metaphor to serve their puerile self-aggrandizing whining. Why would it be about that when several people have pointed out several themes that fit much better with what’s shown on the screen without having to invent behind-the-scenes tension?

Mel Mudkiper posted:What narrative purpose behind the selection of the characters in the film exists beyond the arbitrarily of including them? If alt-Parker is meant to be aspirational, and Gwen is meant to be supportive, what roles do Noir, Ham, and Peni play other than "popular and funny" Giving it half a moment’s thought, they very effectively illustrate the film’s main message, that “anyone can be Spider-Man”, even a prepubescent Japanese girl or a cartoon pig.

Mel Mudkiper posted:That's kind of BotL's point though, that they are there for reasons that are not narrative as much as the film's desire to be effective as a product for consumption. A film and everything in it is a product to be consumed. Pointing this out serves no purpose. quote:ok, but why the japanese girl and pig? If it could be anything, why them? Because they are fun, diverse takes on the character. Why not a Japanese girl and a pig? Had they been anything else, you’d be asking the same question.

I Before E posted:Peni, Noir, and John Mulaney all split the role of comic relief, and having all three of them there kind of does a disservice to what any one of them could have been if given the full role, and while I do enjoy all of them, if they'd trimmed it down to just Nic Cage, the one with the funniest C-plot, I wouldn't have complained. Another “main” character would have threatened to steal focus away from the existing mains, though. Into the Spider-Verse is nicely lean and focused. The comic relief Spiders hint at the diversity that exists in the Spider-Verse, serve the film’s main theme, and provide levity. It’s actually amazing to me how effectively they were able to fit them in without the movie seeming crowded.

I Before E posted:Personally I'd rather have one well-built comic relief character than three half-assed ones I really don’t think “half-assed” is a fair assessment. At all. There’s no failure on the storytellers’ part, here. They made a deliberate choice, one that better served the film. Taking away any of the lesser Spiders would have diminished the film, I think.

credburn posted:Is there evidence of this in the film or is this speculation? Or, is this in adherence to the comic which already explains this... which now that I think about it sounds like it's kind of the obvious answer. You hear Gwen’s voice and see a smaller version of the shimmering light of the accelerator’s portal.

Olympic Mathlete posted:This is what annoys me about BotL, he seems to be incredibly anal about meanings of words to suit his purpose without realising that lots of words have more than one meaning. It's a dipshit move and he's a lovely poster because of it. This is a pretty common bad faith debate tactic, and I’ve seen it used from time to time in CD. Last time I checked in on the Infinity War thread a bunch of people were acting really smug about how the sequel was misusing the word “decimate”, completely ignoring the fact that it hasn’t meant “remove exactly one tenth” for hundreds of years and, in fact, probably never meant only that. It’s an easy way to score quick credibility points.

Spider-Man doesn’t fail at being a superhero at all. That’s just some bullshit unattainable standard BotL whipped up. A big deal is made about “Parker luck” and how Peter seems to struggle more than most heroes, but how in the hell does that make him less heroic?

Pirate Jet posted:I didn’t even bring up BotL, you did. I was just agreeing that it’s dumb to claim that a random anecdote of a black kid enjoying seeing another black kid in the movie is a better topic of discussion than anything in the actual movie. First of all, happy kids are awesome and it’s always good to have fun conversations about them. Second, I never said people shouldn’t talk about the movie. I said talking about happy kids is better than still talking about a pathologically dedicated shitposter who’s been exiled from the thread, which is an objective fact. Nobody’s forcing you to talk about kids.

SomeJazzyRat posted:Stop letting the BotL re-reg poo poo up the thread with racism. Put him on ignore, let everyone know, and keep talking about how loving cool this movie is. I think it’s fascinating that Prowler (distinct from Aaron) is a character who’s basically, like, 70% sound design. Visually, he’s not all that imposing at all; gangling of limb, goofy cape, ill-fitting mask. With the addition of a single sound, though, he goes from being laughable to utterly terrifying. There’s something primal and disturbing about that noise, and it’s great how effective it is.

SirSamVimes posted:I'd say there's also something about the way he moves that turns a design that doesn't appear that intimidating into something terrifying. The way he moves is basically Batman (dramatic leaps/broody perching) with a bit of Wolverine (or maybe anime) thrown in (running hunched over with his claws extended). I don’t think that would have worked alone, though, since you’ve still got his character design actively working against you there.

Harrow posted:My only complaint is that I wish the movie had more time to develop Miles's relationship with Aaron. Even one more scene might have helped really solidify it before everything goes to hell. I don't know that I'd cut anything for it, though, so I can see why they didn't have enough time for that arc, but I wish they had. I thought their relationship felt incredibly solid for how quickly they conveyed it. While Jefferson is critical of Miles’ artistic endeavours and dismissive of his doubts about school, Aaron is unequivocally supportive. That right there gives you such a perfect feel for their family dynamics.

My friend took his 4-year-old daughter to it. I asked him if she was freaked out by Prowler because I, a 40-year-old man definitely was, and he said she had no problem with him but was terrified of Doctor Octopus.
