Tanker-truck of hindsight, this one is as, if not more, pivotal than Raimi-Spidey.
Yes, I'm going to explain. Buckle up.
Previously....
From the first link....
Mike Stoklasa from Red Letter Media summed it up thusly.
"It fell flat on its fucking face!".
Fuck Mike Stoklasa, fuck Red Letter Media, and fuck anyone connected to them.
They got on that whole anti-SJW hate train; Rich is an Armored Skeptic fanboy, and armored Skeptic ripped his mask off as a white supremacist; fuck all racist/sexist CHUDs.
That anti-feminist stealth-Trumper bullshit ruined practically everything I used to like online from the 2010's. Fuck you sneaky swastika kissing phony fucks.
Anyway!!
I said it best in the second link...
I didn't get the boiling hate Red Letter Media dished out on it.
I mean, yeah, Sony are cynical assholes, but you can't take that out on the art.
Yeah, it had a lot to live up to with Raimi-Spidey, but it's fine.
It's a Spidey cartoon turned to flesh.
Raimi sprinkled his weirdo signature style sauce on it, where Webb played it pretty faithful and straight.
Nothing wrong with that at all.
I was just bitter when I thought it had robbed me of an Avengers crossover, but we got all that, and more.
It all worked out fine.
If anything, having Andrew and his villains in "No Way Home" made it so much better.
Hell, without Webb-verse to pad out the villain count, "No Way home" might not have even been a thing.
The stars aligned just right, and Sony's blunder became our boon.
Couldn't have happened better if they'd actually planned it that way.
I'd argue Webb-verse flat out saved Spider-Man.
We probably don't get Holland-Spidey in MCU without Amazing 2 crashing.
And Amazing 2 wasn't even bad, it just went up against fucking "Guardians", "Winter Soldier", and "Future Past" for fuck sakes.
Stacked fucking year.
I mean, the Sony hacks/leaks put it over the top, but they were secretly putting out MCU-crossover feelers before that.
Yeah, there it is, you have Webb and Garfield to thank for "No Way Home".
Think about that next time you want to get snotty about any goddamned movie.
In 10 years, you'll be eating crow.
With chopsticks, and without napkins.
