>You won't find the true meaning of marvel in Spider-Man Far From Home
>Spider-Man: Far From Home, the latest Marvel glue-trap, is yet another sequel, but this one has a Pixar title and a Pixar plot about returning to sentimental origins — American high-school kids on the old-fashioned school trip abroad get disoriented in the newly destabilized Europe.
>Homesickness is a bland point, especially for the first Marvel release to follow that apocalypse-not sequel Endgame. Away from home, teenage Spider-Man Peter Parker (Tom Holland) acts out a personal foreign policy, courting MJ, the new biracial girl-next-door (Zendaya). But this plot device, in which Spidey realizes duty and hormones, feels gimmicky to anyone not suckered by the Marvel-Pixar contrivance that makes formula analogous to “home.” (Think of the desolation expressed in that Morrissey song “Home Is a Question Mark.”)
>The idea of sequels is debased in Far From Home. But Stephen Chow’s The New King of Comedy validates that notion through affable genius. Marvel merely exploits its followers’ loyalty through repetitious plot turns and CGI hijinks. Far From Home’s F/X set-pieces merely bowdlerize the school-bus horror in Man of Steel and the crushing monster shockwave in Transformers: Dark of the Moon — landmarks that, for their poetic depth and aesthetic intensity, are not easily surpassed. But Chow respects his audience’s sophistication. Chow makes all of Far From Home’s gimmickry, and the ethnic exploitation of Into the Spider-Verse, not matter.

If that's a valid rebuke to criticism and irony no one ever deserves to be made fun of. The fact that you're trying to twist criticism into dishonest euphemisms and sophistry makes me think you're seething roastie. Am I wrong?
Jordan Perez
bro no shit there's a shot near the end of the film where spidey's ass is just POPPIN
you'll know when you see
Jordan Robinson
yeah yeah yeah you have no friends i understand
Kevin Flores
>so bad, even armond can't be contrarian and pretend to like it
Joshua Ward
marvel niggers on suicide watch
Cameron Davis
Toastier conformed
John Evans
>Toastier is that some incel term im not aware of?
>Mysterio reveals that Peter is spider man on daily bugle via JJ where the fuck was JJ i didn't see him at all in the movie and keep seeing screenshots on here?
i did go for a piss break so maybe i missed it
Isaac Cooper
He likes Disney, he just hates the current state of Disney
In the Dumbo review, he mentioned he liked the classic animated films Disney used to make and he liked the 2011 Winnie the Pooh movie
Christopher Sullivan
>Disney >It's a Sony movie
Alexander Evans
Have sex
Caleb Jenkins
Imagine how much Based Armond absolutely LOATHES having too watch so much MCU capeshit every year. I can't think of a worse punishment.
Disney and Pixar are garbage nowadays so what's the point here
Asher Lewis
If I could make a decent living writing about movies I wouldn't complain, no matter how much trash I'd have to watch. At least I could openly call it trash and get paid for it.
Mason Perez
If you haven't noticed, Armond is the only critic who regularly rips on Disney and that's because he's a black homosexual who writes for a tiny irrelevant newspaper. Anybody else would get deep sixed by The Mouse.
Aiden Parker
>Peter slaps Flash so hard he loses consciousness for a minute , finally.
I can’t wait until one of your co-workers snaps and shoots you fucks up
Nathan Richardson
"Put away childish things" is about maturing out of childish misconceptions- it's not about literally hiding your comic books and action figures. True adults are secure in their love for whatever they love- those who would bully them for that are the childish ones.
Ayden Sullivan
>2/3 of the excerpt consists of buzzwords >no other argument than 'plot point not original' this is supposed to be the based armond white

>Mysterio reveals that Peter is spider man on daily bugle via JJ
You know what makes this half-ass bullshit? The Sokovia Accords. The entire point of them is that if superhumans want to be do-gooders, they have to have sanction and public accountability. They won't shut the fuck up about how Pete's an Avenger. By the international law that governs them, that means Pete's identity already *should* be a matter of public record.
They could have done the Civil War arc justice and made Pete, the non-joiner with trust issues who's worried about bad guys going after his friends and family, an outlaw from the get-go, one that S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers try to turn a blind eye to. That would have already guven JJJ the grist he needed for his smear campaign and Mysterio framing him all the smoking gun JJJ needed to start braying for the authorities to bring that menace to justice, but that's way too much like actual storytelling for Disney.
Convoluted, self-contradictory shitshow.
Anthony Reyes
The Sokovia accords probably stopped being enforced after Thanos killed half the planet, stupid.
Camden Harris
that literally never happened, bugman
Andrew Thomas
>implying the identity of Superheroes would be available to the public just because they work for the government Just like the identity of spies is known to the public, right retard?
Logan Lopez
Then that should be a point in the dialogue. "Probably" is a bullshit excuse for a poorly thought-out, bullshit story. It is way, way too early in Pete's career for him to even consider becoming an Avenger. That's why these aren't Spider-Man movies. They're Iron Boy movies.
William Bailey
He's still not really an Avenger, he's just dealing with guys fucking around with advanced technology on a scale he can deal with.
Luke Wright
They said flat out in Endgame that world governments were in a shambles and stayed that way.
Easton Collins
Tony's identity is public knowledge. So is Banner's, Cap's, Falcon's, Ant-Man's, the Wasp's, Black Panther's, and Thor doesn't even have any other name.
Peter Parker walking around without a mask just introducing himself to other superhumans is utter bullshit. He has trust issues for reasons that should be obvious.
Adam Collins
Fury repeatedly refers to him as an Avenger and filling Tony's shoes. That's not remotely Spider-Man, but that's the shit we're stuck with.
Nolan Morales
That literally was not Nick Fury.
John Roberts
You think that makes it better?
Alexander Reed
Yes, because he was just smooth-talking him. Either shut up or stop watching the MCU.
Jaxson Hill
Didn't Tony Stark have a huge mental breakdown about how a single human shouldn't have so much power? Wasn't that one of the reasons he ended up having a "civil war" with Captain America and half the Avengers? Why would he hand over EDITH to Peter Parker just like that?
Hudson Thompson
Because he liked his instincts.
Xavier Evans
he's a conservative black homosexual he's a fucking treasure
Jacob Harris
>the identity of Superheroes who disclosed their identity to the public is a matter of public record You sure are retarded
Camden Ward
shill. every disney release comes with disneyshills flooding this board, calling everybody who criticizes disney or its movies incels.
