I don't think that matters. If the point you are trying to make is that Peter Parker identity is now known to these villains, well it already was, that is who the spell was bringing across, every single villain that already knows Peter Parker is spiderman. That's every villain from across the multiverse so considering in most iterations of Spider-Man a lot of his villains figure out who he is, this is going to mean that you will see a lot of villains from across the multiverse crossing over.
Not to mention after the first event had freaking dragons, to then go to staring at a lake and a maze, really lackluster. People watch races sure but considering these were all life threatening events with seemingly a decent bit of action and suspense, doesn't feel like something people who are ok with watching water do nothing and a maze do nothing for an hour would come too or the type of people who would be interested in watching nothing for an hour.
That would make sense, if this season didn’t start right where the last one left off, so there has been time for him to gain that weight in the continuity of the show, and in the show he was still quite active because he was trying to keep strong from his back injury.
It’s really noticeable and kinda feels like he isn’t caring much about the show since he doesn’t appear to be the main focus anymore like it felt for the first couple season, so he’s let himself go and no one cares.
That's it the premise itself isn't bad and can easily succeed. The movie just became a complete and utter mess though, it was like the director had ADD and kept throwing different plot points and ideas into the mix never fully landing on one.
It tried to be smarter than it was and confused itself to the point by the end yeah it's like wtf did I just watch
Yet she still stays and then “falls in love” with him. She’s played off as the bad one not him because awww he’s just trying to find love but he’s not attractive enough that’s all.
Yeah it's a really weird movie and in the times of MeToo I'm kind of surprised this hasn't gotten some backlash. The guy is constantly portrayed as the victim in some weird incel type vibe of "Oh no woman wants me because all they go for is looks so I had to do this" it's yeah pretty messed up, especially when we see his profile pics later and they are horrible because as the girl said they make him look like a serial killer, no girl is liking the guy whose main photo is him holding an ax in front of him and rope in another.
I was waiting for the moment where Josh really gets called out for everything and he never does, it's all awww poor guy, rather than, dude wtf are you doing this is so wrong you are disgusting and you need to get help what you did is a massive violation and you should be ashamed.
The guy was obviously not a normal being and magic did not surprise anyone. Hearing the rules it would be super simple to pass this without dying in a years time. The set up completely puts the movie on the back foot from the start because the main character is being shown as well being incredibly dumb. By focusing on being all artsy it loses any real motivation for a compelling story because why root for someone who easily could have avoided their fate.
I get what going for and you are right.
But also get what the OP is saying too.
While we don’t need it to be super deep, it was really poorly handled in the show when they did do the geopolitical stuff and honestly I feel I need to rewatch it to actually understand what it was all about cause was so choppy and just badly written.
As you said you need some of it for world building. The some we did get in this though seemed to bring the world building down and felt just bad.
Literally every news report about this has stated this literally two seconds of googling brings up how Scarjos lawyers have written confirmation from Disney stating that should it be released on D+ they will renegotiate the contract. That’s literally been the main driving home point with this case because they have so much on their side of “Disney tried to fuck us here” and why Disney is acting ScarJos character.
Yes they do, only one that doesn’t seem to want too is you since you keep trying to defend Disney when literally everyone has pointed out to you that Disney is in fact the bad guys here like 90% of the other times they’ve gotten bad press. The public cares the care just doesn’t last long once it’s not in the news anymore.
Fans had been pushing for her solo movie way more than ScarJo ever did. Hell pretty much when she made the comment about Budapest fans latched to that and had been wanting a movie around that.
Also considering they have done this with other films and other actresses are now looking at suing it’s seeming way more like Disney just trying to get out of paying people and being dodgy with contracts and agreements.
