That is along the lines what I'm thinking too. I as well watched the movie yesterday and I couldn't see the point in it at all.
With WandaVision I could understand Wanda's pain with the kids, even if they weren't real and there was at least some manner of redemption at the end of it. Here they just threw it all out the window and made her go full villain, in the worst way possible. I still stand by the fact they should have stuck to the House of M storyline.
Why did Chavez needed to have two mothers? Would it have changed the tone of the narrative if it was just two regular parents? It feels like an afterthought so they can please some morons in their fanbase.
The cameos were so badly used. Having Haylay Atwell back in the MCU, this time as Captain Carter, and she just gets obliterated after a few seconds. The best part of all this was to hear the little X-Men tune playing when Professor X arrived. Other then that it was just a total waste of time, which can be said about most of the movie.
The CGI was weird as hell too. At times completely up to the standards of today, and then there times where the humans looked like something out of the Matrix Reloaded era.
I remember seeing Tony Stark getting suited up in the Mark III suit and thinking, shit this is fantastic. Those were the days I would actually fork over money for a cinema ticket at least. I don't see a clear way forward for the MCU at this point, it just feels like some random movies and series just for the sake of getting those characters in there, without any clear direction.
Daily reminder that Sony apparently thought an entire film
about Aunt May being a super spy with no spider powers was going to be a worthwhile entry in their franchise. As a point of reference, Spider-Woman, Jessica Drew, does have powers and was also a spy, and they could have done
that. They weren't going to do that, they were going to do Aunt motherfucking May.
So yeah Kraven being some hippie is actually a lot less stupid than some of the shit they had already rolled down the pipeline already.
I would love it if they brought Spider-Woman to the big screen. They'd probably muck it up in some fashion, but still. The sad part is that more people would actually go and watch it if it was actually an Aunt May film, then if it was a Spider-Woman movie.
