I hate that I didn’t know the second ended on a cliff hanger when I watched it. Wish I had known, since I would have avoided it and waited for the third movie to watch it all. Cliff hanger still passes me off.
It doesn’t even foreshadow a cliff hanger is coming. It just ends mid conversation. No buildup or anything. Not a fun movie.
When the first Lord of the Rings movie came out, it ended, and a guy stood up behind me and yelled “DAMN! THAT’S IT???!?!?”
I got to explain “No, no, there’s TWO MORE…”
It ended on a cliff hanger?
Honestly can’t remember much of the film compared to the first.
Right at the end of a big action scene that should have serious repurcussions, if I remember right.
i just watched it last week and can barely remember it
It was so all over the place
It’s across the spiderverse
I’m sure they definitely won’t underpay and overwork the people working on it to get it out by an arbitrary deadline…
Haven’t they already delayed it a bunch of times?
Amazing how similar movie production is to game development these days.
Delays, whole projects being scrapped and rebuilt multiple times, and fixes being applied over a series of months after release.
This is fine…
Please don’t let this trilogy crash
imo, it already crashed (or at least is inches away from a crash). Into the Spider-Verse was an unexpected, yet solid 10/10 for me. Whenever I think I have some sort of “comic book movie fatigue” I can put that on still be blown away by how good it is, which drives home the point, for me, that it’s just modern MCU and DCEU movies specifically that I’m tired of because they just aren’t very good (I’ll agree to disagree with anyone on this point).
Across the Spider-Verse took all of that and crapped out an extremely ill thought out attempt at tying into the MCU multi-verse (thus tying itself into my growing dislike for the MCU). The idea of “canon” events that have to be allowed to pass is so antithetical to the genre I’m shocked it wasn’t tossed out during the brainstorming phase. You’re telling there’s a whole universe of heroes and all of them (except for Spider-Punk) accept the idea that they have to stand by and let people die because it’s canon to that timeline? Nah. A hero is someone who risks their own life to save other people’s lives. Full stop. An ordinary person will make a choice about which track the trolley goes down, saving either one person or many people. A hero would sacrifice themself to (at least attempt to) save all of the people on the tracks. Then when the movie came to a fairly natural stopping point, it kept going for a few more minutes to end on one of the worst cliffhangers I’ve seen in a very long time.
Across the Spider-Verse is a 4/10 for me. I would still give the third movie a chance (only because of how good the first movie is) but it will have to do some incredible course correction to redeem the second movie (if it’s even possible). Otherwise, I’ll just keep Into the Spider-Verse and think about how it’s a shame they never made any sequels to such a good movie.
I may have interpreted the movie wrong, but I think the movie is about setting up that conflict. The whole movie revolves around Miles not being a “true” Spiderman, an error. My understanding is that the trilogy is more about taking destiny into your own hands and showing the “spider-verse” assumptions are wrong. If true it plays nicely with the fanbase feuding about whether Peter Parker is the only “true” Spiderman, or if anyone can truly take up the mantle.
Now, miles dad usually does die, so maybe not exactly, but my takeaway from the movie was to not allow others to tell you what you should/shouldn’t be/do.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the 3rd movie was bad. 2nd one was very unsatisfying. It didn’t feel like it stood very well on its own, and it felt like the majority of the movie was spent explaining the whole “cannon” concept.
Every scene dragged on forever past it’s point. It was aggravating to watch compared to the first movie. And then bam, it just ends out of nowhere. They could have cut a ton of time out of it with better editing.
Oof. This is very concerning. Mostly because these rumors suggest that 2027 will be the release date and even then it won’t have a full resolution?? Hope that’s not true…
Sony scrapped what they completed for Beyond the Spider-Verse shortly after the release of Across the Spider-Verse.
That’s a pretty easy theory to put out when it was originally supposed to come out 7 months ago. I think they just vastly underestimated how long it’d take to finish. Scrapping the whole script so far would be an absurd overstep.
I bet they’re trying to scrub off Lord and Miller from the credits. And the best way to ensure it is to make sure that no-one is their work makes it into the final cut
What did they do?
They left, or were told to leave
This doesn’t seem very substantial to me? If it’s been scrapped last minute, why are the cast just now recording lines? Voice work happens months, sometimes years before scenes make it past thumbnails.
This reads like execs made a stupid promise without consulting anyone on production, and now they’re making excuses for production on a cartoon taking a long time.
All cartoons take a long time! It takes years to make a movie of this sort. Expecting it immediately is, I’m just going to be blunt, a real dumbass move.
Probably because, ideally, the two halves of the one super-long movie should’ve been produced sequentially. Miles-Spiderman-3 isn’t a fresh movie, #2 was ended mid plot as a part 1. If a part 1 was done correctly, part 2’s story would be relatively set in stone. This news means it isn’t, whoch is a bad sign for hopes of continuity
Not to mention they delayed releasing part 1 for years (or at least a year cause of covid). You’d have assumed they’d have taken advantage of that, but it could be a casualty of the writers strike.
