Madame Webb (2024): Spinning a Web of Confusion and Bad Decisions
🎬 Welcome back to We're Too Literary! 🎬
"How did we get to a fireworks accident causing total character redundancy?" That moment had us laughing in disbelief as we tried to make sense of the critical plot flaws in the latest Spider-Man universe movie.
This episode dives into the tangled web of poor storytelling choices in "Madame Web (2023)." From the befuddling female spider names and inexplicable timeline issues to the severely underutilized characters like Spider-Woman, we unpack every misstep that leaves the audience scratching their heads. We even floated our ideas on how the story could've better spotlighted sidelined characters and delved into more dynamic and meaningful narratives. Think Spider-Woman is at the forefront, with Madame Web as a pivotal supporting character.
Naturally, no review would be complete without touching on the film's questionable character development, or lack thereof, and critiquing the decisions behind focusing on a character with underwhelming powers. And, of course, we question why a character with precognition didn't foresee her own catastrophic injury.
Join us as we navigate through Sony's uneven attempts at expanding their Spider-Man universe, discussing the flaws, frustrations, and potential improvements for future iterations. Plus, hear our take on how Marvel crossovers and a more engaging cast could save this tangled web of a film.
