    Spider-Man has been a huge part of my life so when I heard about the Lotus fan film project, I almost jumped out of my underoos. Luckily they stayed on, and I was blessed with the chance to go see the film premiere in person. What does this film mean for the future of filmmaking? Let's chat about it and have some fun along the way.

      1.) you’re just a lotus fanboy defending a terrible fan film from criticism. It’s shot poorly, the lighting is trash, the acting is bad, and the dialogue is also corny.
      2.) there’s dozens of videos dismantling this shit lotus mess
      3.) it doesn’t matter if the director or actor did “stuff years ago” they are admitted racists and toxic people, which you probably are yourself since you condone that behavior.
      4.) Green Goblin actor John Salandria is a pedophile and admitted he was waiting for one of his actors to turn 18.
      5.) You’re probably one of the few friends of this generational cheesy kids behind of the film’s failure.

    As someone that backed and saw this film, it wasn’t good. The pacing was bad, the writing was awful, and the cinematography wasn’t good either. We can argue about budget but writing is free and it costs nothing but time to do revisions on the script. The chemistry between talent was cringe as well along with those long establishing shots. Overall I know it’s a fan film but so much could’ve been saved and done right. 4/10

      Some people can forgive due to understanding people can change. Some cant.

      How do you know why he apologized? How would it look if he didn't apologize? What would have been better? You speak as if your past is shiny and as if you've done no wrong. He owned up to his mistake and decided to go full thrust into his project, completing it. If I a afro latino male can forgive this man and not use his past against him then so can you. Cuz while you're not forgiving and focusing on the past, he's moving on going to the next project. and the next.

      Or perhaps having a premier is a nice way to celebrate and honour the various cast and crew members for their hard work on an ambitious project years in the making. As for the comments made by the Director, perhaps there are some people who are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he has grown into a better person since then, and not judge and condemn him for the rest of his life for mistakes he made when he was a dumb edgy teenager looking for attention. Surprisingly, there are a lot of people out there who like to believe in the best of people and that we can all grow as individuals, rather than support the cancel culture movement and ruin a person's life forever because they have a moral superiority complex on Twitter.

      @@jonarbuckle778actions and words have consequences. Being uploaded to UA-cam is enough to honor the cast and crew, but it doesn’t deserve a premiere like this, especially since the racist remarks were just a couple years ago. If we just say “ We CaN fOrGiVe, MaYbE hE gReW “, then any racist action or derogatory term said by anyone won’t mean anything when it should. This film and director didn’t deserve a premiere like this.
