WB might. She won't.

In a way, I'm actually wondering if the film potentially flopping winds up being vindication for Lana in a way. "See, I told you it wasn't a good idea to make a fourth".

It can't be an statement of any kind if not everybody agrees with you. I didn't feel like I wasted my time. But to each their own.

Then again, Amy Pascal was the one who insisted on the rescores for SM3, so maybe it is just the times we're in.
Was it? I thought that was at least partly down to Raimi, especially after what happened with Spider-Man 2.

So let's get the obvious out of the way. The Matrix Resurrections is not quite as good as the original. It is good, though, at least as good as Reloaded was. It makes an awful lot of fun at its own expense (and it pokes fun at the current sequels-and-reboots machine Hollywood's got going). There are great parts in amongst good parts. The only souring note for me was the post-credit scene, which was basically making fun of the audience for sticking through to see it. Deadpool had such a scene and pulled it off much better IMO. Despite that, I think it's a solid film. 7/10.
10 minutes ago, Docteur Qui said:Afterlife, the fruitless exercise in nostalgia that completely missed the point of the irreverent original and turned it into a cross between The Force Awakens and an Amblin film from the 80s. At least the 2016 one tried to capture some of the SNL/improv-heavy, slapdash feel of the first one, even if it ultimately didn't work.

I would have gone further. I think Beyond is one of his best works to date. I just love the Yorktown Theme, it gave me serious Goldsmith-TMP vibes.

Wow, almost a year since last updated! Good thing I got a couple of things to share!
I got myself a ComposerCloud Plus subscription during the Black Friday sale, so I get all mic positions for about $20 less than I was paying for the ComposerCloudX subscription (which only included close and mid mic positions). So, I did a couple of things to test this out. At the moment, I don't have access to Hollywood Strings Platinum because my External HDD is only 1TB, so I'm using the EWQLSO Strings Platinum as a placeholder.
I also got hold of a free VST called 'Spook Keys' recently, which can emulate a theremin. So I came out with these to test all this out (plus a few of the instrument patches I had not used before)

Marvel has officially given designations to the Raimi and Webb Spider-Men:
Raimi's Spider-Man is called Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: https://www.marvel.com/characters/friendly-neighborhood-spider-man
Webb's Spider-Man gets the same designation as the film series he originates - The Amazing Spider-Man: https://www.marvel.com/characters/the-amazing-spider-man

Sandman finds out right at the end, after Venom is killed.
As for the others, it's not certain when they were taken. Ock's dialogue suggests he was taken right after he tried to throttle Spider-Man but before he overrode the arms' AI. It could of course be that he did survive somehow, but the AI affected his memory of the event. Electro was taken at the point he exploded. Goblin and Lizard are far more ambiguous - especially since Lizard never died in his film (unless you count being cured as 'being killed by Spider-Man')

They only have scores nowadays so they can sell soundtrack albums!
Because, you know. Those...uh, sell, by the truckload. A very tiny truck.

No. Mary Jane is mentioned though.

I enjoyed this movie, but here are some things I thought about during or after the film:
- Where did Doc Ock go after the scene where May dies? He kind of goes missing until he shows up at the end to stop Electro.
- Why does Doc Ock wear a turtleneck beneath his jacket, when in Spider-Man 2, the last we saw of him, he was wearing the overcoat without a shirt underneath? Is this a different Ock from a different multiverse?
- Why doesn't Ock get electrocuted when fighting Electro, when in the original film, he was electrocuted by Peter causing the inhibitor chip to fry?
- Why were the other Peters older, when their villain counterparts were the same age as they were in their respective films? My guess is that Ned summoned them from their current times i.e. 2025 or whatever the time is after the Blip?
- Aunt May would've had spinal damage from her injuries when hit by the Glider, so how was she able to walk after such a serious injury?
These were minor issues, but the film was certainly fun, and it was great to see Molina back as Doc Ock!
I'm guessing he went to recuperate before joinging the Spider-Men at the Statue of Liberty.
As for his clothing, it looks like his clothing from before the final fight - he doesn't have those glasses on either in the final scenes. His last memory is of choking Peter right after he unmasked... I just chalk it up to multiverse schenanigans.
Are you asking here why the chip wasn't fried a second time? Stark tech, I guess. The ending implies that Octavius recognises the arc reactor as being the perfect end-result of what he was trying to achieve with his machine, the same could be implied of the new chip he was given.
Ned didn't summon the Peters from other realities, they were already there (they both state they were elsewhere, then in the MCU - with Tobey's Peter actively looking for MCU Peter afterward). We don't know how long it's been since TASM2, but it's definitely been some years since Spider-Man 3. The whole implication is that those brought through were brought through around the point they discovered Peter's identity, though there are reasons this explanation does not quite work, same as the idea put forward that they all came through at the point they were about to die fighting Spider-Man (Electro never learned Peter's identity, Venom was brought through from the SSU even though it seems there's no Spider-Man there or at least he's not widely-known outside of NYC, Osborn learned Peter's identity at Thanksgiving Dinner and didn't appear as Business Man Norman, and the Peters would of course know who they are from the start). I don't think there's truly a 'point' they're drawn in from.
TBF, Aunt May would have died since she wasn't just rammed, she was impaled on the Glider's blades. She'd have been dead before Goblin even threw that Pumpkin Bomb. I chalk this up to just being a superhero story thing.

Definitely shouldn't try and do the Black Suit and Venom condensed into one film again.

Mid credit scene with Tom Holland was pretty funny, guess we’ll find out what the leftover blob will be me up doing.
I think you mean Tom Hardy
I'm guessing the piece of Venom being left behind will lead to the Black Suit in the MCU. Don't know if we'll get a new Venom though.

Can we talk about how the film ended? Some people say it's a downright depressing ending, but I think it's bittersweet.
Sure, everybody forgets Peter Parker (and not Spider-Man), he's lost Aunt May in a manner very similar to Uncle Ben in previous incarnations, and it's a bit gut-wrenching when he goes to see MJ and Ned, but I thought 'that's such a Peter Parker thing to do' when he decided to leave them to their happiness rather than bring them back into his world so soon. And that ending: he actually hand-made his own suit! Somebody got a couple of shots of it on Twitter and it's very much a classic Spider-Man suit, inspired evidently by the Raimi and Webb suits, but with touches of the original comicbook version (the light blue) and retaining the one part they needed to from the MCU's previous suits - the moving eyes. This whole film feels very much like the origin story of Spider-Man. This ends with it feeling like he's actually become the 'friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man' he started as in the comics. For the first time since he was introduced to the MCU, I'm actually excited to see where it takes Spider-Man.
Re. the previous Spider-Men returning: I actually enjoy all the previous films on various levels, even though some films are hit-and-miss at best. I love how the returning Spider-Men's characterizations are consistent with their films - and that was kind of a big concern of mine. I love how TASM Spider-Man gets the closure he so desperately needed following the death of Gwen, and I feel a restored appreciation for the Raimi Spider-Man. The interactions between the three Spider-Men just felt natural. A small little thing as well, just to show the filmmakers did their homework: each Spider-Man retains their unique web-shot sounds, rather than just using the MCU sounds.
The one thing I wasn't sure of is where the villains returned to. But then again, we don't know exactly when they came from, either (Ock and Electro are the only ones we can pinpoint, since Ock recalls the last thing before being transferred is grabbing Spider-Man by the throat after he unmasked, and Electro remembers being caught in the power grid) - it's just the assumption that they all transferred at the time of their deaths (Lizard and Sandman never actually died in their timelines). In Loki, it's stated such events would create variant timelines. My impression here is that they either return to roughly a point in their timelines following their demise, or to the time their respective Spider-Men come from. Ergo, they 'die' but their return doesn't create the variant timelines.

Speaking of, I found him to be waaay creepier in this film than in first Raimi film. I wanna know if he was pulling all those kinds of faces under the mask in the first film!

I personally think it was one of the best Spider-Man films. It's right up there for me with Spider-Man 2. Too high praise? Maybe, but that's how I feel. Definitely want to see it again.

You're gonna have a real fun time avoiding talk of this movie given it's still on track to release tomorrow in some places.
Hopefully tracklist comes up in the next couple of days.

According to both Avengers: Endgame and Loki, the past can't be rewritten, so when the villains are removed from their timelines, it creates variant timelines for each of them. They're not sent back to their 'universes of origin'.
Sucks for them: according to Loki, the TVA is destined to prune each and every variant timeline.
