The Spot is being built up to be a massive threat, in a "people will never view this guy comically again" sort of way.

Besides, there's other threats out there. The most recent Spider-Verse event in the comics made use of the Spider Wasp Queen Shathra

Damn it’s getting bigger.

What a great movie!

The crowd on opening night was very involved with the cheering, laughter and gasps.

Looking forward to the next one...

Miles dropped back to back bangers.

Is Spider-Gwen really trans?

Nah that’s just some fans headcanon.

Those ****ing pedocreeps ready to proclaim any attractive female character "trans" all just to pretend that men can "pass" as women. Reality is that most of those transcreeps are fat, ugly and you need to be either blind or extremely drunk to confuse them for women in any way shape or form.

Its like those Tumblr losers who were saying Gay characters in every single character. Just significantly worse.

For now.

But if enough people demand it, and if Sony cares more about social credit than profit, it will definitely become canon.

Gwen Stacy retconned into a boy would be the best thing ever

Girl is literally only ever famous for her controversies.

Don't get me wrong, MJ has her controversies too, but she always survives them and is remembered fondly as Peter's wife and mother of his children regardless . Gwen? "Oh she died, oh she's a clone, oh she's had sex with Norman Osborn, oh her kids were clones created by a supercomputer, oh she's an uninteresting superhero who barely moves sales"

It sounds to me like they put juuust enough in the movie intentionally so that people could read that into the character if they so chose.

Just like it was fortold in all the commercials, this truely is the greatest Spider-Man movie ever, period end of story

I just watched the movie. It's fine but seems a bit bloated, I legitimately doubt it needed to be 140 minutes long, it really does come across like they decided to release an extended blu-ray edition in the cinema. What's there is mostly pretty good but I can't help but shake the feeling you could cut at least 30 minutes out of this movie and it wouldn't hurt the quality much, maybe even that you could even splice this with the next movie into the 140 minutes runtime this one got, possibly shorter still.

I'm also a little bit confused about the "canon" concept here, George Stacy or a similar character needs to die? The whole universe will be destroyed unless some cop dies? OK, even if you accept that, is Miles seriously going to be able to save his dad without destroying the world? Or is Jeff going to die anyway? Or maybe they'll cop out and say Jeff isn't the George Stacy stand-in and someone else dies?

As for the elephant in the room, the "Gwen is trans" thing. No, the movie never states that she is trans nor does it have any hard hints that she is, so in theory you can come out of this movie not thinking that she is... And I thought I would come out of this thinking the movie wasn't actually trying to imply anything like that… But it is true that she has the "protect trans-kids" poster and her dad does appear to wear a trans flag and... Yes, there are a lot of scenes focused on her using the pink-light-blue-white color scheme all over the background, to the point where you see those colors more than any acutal objects in the background. Again, never explicit or even very implicit but once you know of that interpretation, it's kind of hard to ignore.

The thing is, I'm not sure how this aligns with Sony's contract. The 2011 contract states that Spider-Man (any character called Spider-Man, not just Peter Parker) must conform to this statements "He is male", "Not a homosexual (unless Marvel has portrayed that alter ego as a homosexual)" or else Marvel can sue for damages. Granted Gwen isn't "Spider-Man" and if she's trans that might override the idea that Miles (who is called "Spider-Man") has a homosexual attraction. And of course the contract is 12 years old and may have been updated to make sure it is allowed to have trans-spider-characters? Still, it's possible that it isn't allowed to even strongly hint that she is trans, which is why anything that would imply this is vague but still prominent, i.e. someone working on this movie really wanted her to be trans and this is as close as they were allowed to get? I really don't know. Ultimately, the contract was only ever explicit about how Peter Parker and Spider-Man should be depicted, Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales are really only mentioned there by civilian names and that they must be following some character integrity traits if they are depicted as Spider-Man. Technically speaking, aside from the Spider-Man integrity stuff, Sony would be allowed to change virtually everything about Miles Morales because the character just isn't described beyond beyond being an acceptable alternative to Peter Parker.

Turns out there was originally a post-credits scene involving the Spot that was cut along with a scene earlier in the movie that set it up

I read on IGNs Snapchat that some people were experiencing sound issues when they went to see it, blaming theaters for not having the volume up sufficiently. I’m wondering if it’s not a case of rediculously loud background music that seems to plague a lot of movies and even television shows. It sucks when you’re watching something and the damn background music over powers the dialogue

Sounds (heh) like you're familiar with Portuguese fiction.

Maybe it will all be explained in "Part 2" (or is it Part 3?), but...

Spoiler:

This movie seems to attach WAY too much weight to the generic "Death of a Police Captain Close to Spider-man" as an essential character-defining canon event.

Like...
that's Uncle Ben level-stuff that would implode a universe's entire reality if it didn't happen? Surely there's at least one Marvel What-If? comic where that event didn't happen in Spidey's history.

The small favour to trans rights has cost the movie some money
