Yes, has a franchise entry ever been more upstaged by a spin-off film than NO WAY HOME? SPIDER-VERSE is more nimble and enjoyable even if I liked N.W.H.
Crikey, I wish this whole canon thing away - Maybe Dr. Strange could add that to his next spell!!
I used the 'Spiderman 8 1/2' thing mostly as an homage to Fellini. Not in any way slighting SPIDER-VERSE - it's clearly my favorite Spiderman on film.
Why didn't you go nuts on Jake? He's the one that first listed Maguire and Garfield as not canon. I was just agreeing with him. Heck, I even quoted him!
Cherry picking your pique much?
Good post, Jake. I only count the animated film as half because it's not canon. As I posted I disagree with most of your rebuttals, even if only mildly.
As a stand-alone movie, it simply hasn't deserved the kind of praise it's gotten including serious discussion of Best Picture.
It's a better...
OK. Finally waited long enough to attend SPIDERMAN 8 1/2 (the animated feature I'm counting as the half) and went to a virtually empty theater.
It's good. It has some nice bits - but, the greatest thing since sliced bread??!! C'Mon!!!
And, I honestly don't see the WOW!! factor many are claiming...
