Produced by Columbia Pictures and Di Bonaventura Pictures in association with Marvel Entertainment and TSG Entertainment, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing, it is the fourth film in Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU). The film was directed by S. J. Clarkson from a screenplay she co-wrote with Claire Parker and the writing team of Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless. It stars Dakota Johnson in the title role, alongside Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O'Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Emma Roberts, and Adam Scott. In the film, Cassie Webb (Johnson) confronts her past while trying to save three young women and their futures from Ezekiel Sims (Rahim).

      Would I regret it later? Who knows.

      That also messes the meaning of the original phrase. The original was about taking accountability for your own actions. That the theme behind all three SM movies made by Sam Raimi, Peter and the villains taking responsibility for their mistakes.
      The MW version flips the meaning. Now power is the reward for taking responsibility. It is all transactional. Don't be responsible because it is the right thing to do, be responsible because you'll be rewarded for it. It is this close to being a villain quote.

    Here's my theory: I think this movie was originally a straight forward time travel thriller where a guy is hunting down the people who will one day kill him, inadvertently causing them to unite and kill him, but was then changed to be a Madam Web movie when it was pitched.
    It would explain why the narrative feels so disconnected from the spider-man elements, at least.

      It is probably so they can keep them around longer to make more money off of them. Ya' know older someone is the greater chance they have of something going wrong with their health. Or maybe they think they are appealing to a younger audience? If the person is younger though they have a greater chance of making like 10 movies with them. *shrug*

    From what I've read/heard, Dakota Johnson initially thought/was told(?) that this was an MCU Marvel movie and not a Sony one. After she did the movie, she found out and apparently has been dunking on it throughout her press tour! Not sure about the other actors, but I wouldn't be shocked if it was the same there.

    At first, I didn't have a problem with Madame Web being young because I thought Dakota Johnson was playing Julia Carpenter, a Spider-Woman who became the second Madame Web after the first one died. Julia was a lot more active in the field as Madame Web, and Dakota Johnson's outfit in the movie is clearly based off of her. When I saw Sydney Sweeney in Julia's Spider-Woman costume, THAT was when I realized Dakota Johnson was playing the original Madame Web and I knew the movie would fail. Having Dakota Johnson play Julia Carpenter would've solved SOME of the movie's problems. 🤦‍♂

    I feel like that "when you achieve great responsibility you achieve great power" line might have been a Freudian slip by the writers. The whole idea of Spiderman being given his powers that he must use them for good, these writers want this character to be given the opposite, the right to do something so that she can have the power. That's a slap in the face to anyone who has a cursory understanding of the real lore of these things.

    Here's the icing on the cake:
    Originally, this was meant to tie-in with Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man, but refused because he remembered what happened with TASM2. Rewrites and reshoots happened to make Madame Web connect to Tom Holland's Spider-Man (which makes sense since the actresses were convinced that this would eventually crossover with MCU). However, Sony realized they got the time period wrong and removed any references to Spider-Man whatsoever.
    I wonder why couldn't they just use Tom Holland's Spider-Man or just hire a script doctor for this universe. I'd be surprised if Sony's Marvel Universe ends up more successful than DCEU ever was.

    I'm convinced Dakota Johnson thought she would be in a MCU movie but then realized too late it wasn't.

    Happy to hear Doug and his wife had a good time with this.
    I will pray for any couple who saw this on Valentine's Day, statistically, at least one couple is gonna break up because of this shitshow

    I think Eternals is bad but the good in it, I remember much more than the good that’s in something like Thor: The Dark World.
    I’m glad this was at least a fun movie to make fun of.

    Someone used the Surf Dracula example to say this movie feels like a Pilot episode to a whole ass first season that eventually leads to stuff we actually wanna see
