I guess I need to stop reading journalism about movies when they come out

Into the Spiderverse is both the best Spider-Man movie and the best animated movie of the year.

What journalism do you mean? Everything I've seen about the movie has been positive.

Well it *was* positive coverage, but the way it was praised and what was focused on made it sound very unappealing. (basically equivalent to think pieces, and just as badly written and half-assed as that implies.) It was several outlets too, likely all copying off each other.

But I'm glad that it seems to be getting generally good coverage, because the trailer didn't exactly hype me up and I like Miles Morales as a character. (And we need more actually well-made animated movies.) But my next challenge is finding someone to *see* it with, maybe I can convince my roommate to go.

Not exactly a high bar we are setting is it?

That trailerdidn't hype you up? I'm convinced now. You are actively trying to hate things. There's no other explanation for why you act the way you do.

Not the only one. XD

Well when it was first introduced and promoted, it didn't show "Spider-Ham". So I sort of had a different genre/tone in mind. The other trailer gave 'this will be the teen titans/big hero six movie' vibes. ^_^'

@Dynamo Frokane To generalize, because late at night and using phone, they seemed to be heavily politicizing it. And the movie wasn't political at all, so I don't know why it was spun that way.

@Dynamo Frokane I stand by my earlier comments. There have been three good Spider-Man movies and one that is just okay but a victim of its own era.

Just because something isn't blatantly political doesn't mean it isn't. Spiderverse might not be as aggressive as Black Panther but it's still making a statement with its existence and presentation anyway.
