Not only did the Spider People manage to get the baby into a good foster home, but they also managed to send along all her mother’s papers etc as well! Very thorough. Very thoughtful.
So… Just because they’re mythical spider people doesn’t mean they can’t simply FedEx a baby with all her mom’s prized possessions to a perfectly lovely foster home in New York. Happens all the time.
I think the Kamen Rider Amazon show has a similar concept, but outpaced this so bad it’s utterly entertaining big budget schlock piece in terms of quality by nearly 5 decades. Instead of actually being jungle-born, Kamen Rider Amazon (in most versions of the story though) becomes a half wild man raised by Amazon jungle natives after his birth parents were gone in a plane crash when he was a baby.

Mark, you're actually a really good actor. I'm serious. Do you ever try to audition for parts in films? I'm serious, man. You should. Just.. the funny stuff you do when you impose yourself into a scene and actually make it seem like youre there what with the reactions and that of the people who are actually in the scene and how you order it all together, its perfect, then the bits between scenes when you're making jokes... like your facial expressions and tone of voice, how you stare off sadly as if trying to hide your sadness about "not being invited to the truck stop diner to dance on the tables" lol dude, it's gold. Solid gold. You should try out for some roles somewhere. I have no idea how one goes about doing that, but you should try, Mark. You're an awesome actor, and from your experience and history, I bet you'd know where to go for some tryouts or auditioning. You're really a good actor, and I'm not just saying it to say it.
They employed the Wonder Woman method with Sydney Sweeney. Put glasses on her and she's suddenly not supposed to be one of the hottest chicks I've ever seen.
Those spiders must be the only animal on Earth that use their venom to give its prey "super powers" as opposed to just incapacitating or killing the animal it has bitten. Hunting for these spiders must be very difficult indeed.
"God dammit Dave, finish your food! Remember that fly that got super strength and flew away with one of those spider guys that worship us? Remember how hard it was to get them to forgive us? I had to do things Dave. I had to bite a dying woman to save her baby _Dave_... God that baby turned out so boring"
Tbf, the spider is much too small to have humans among its prey. It’s entirely possible that given its from a different ecosystem than humans evolved in that any interaction between its venom and humans may have surprising results. In terms of superhero movies, imo on the acceptable side of strange results.
Guardians of the Galaxy had a heck of an uphill battle. It was an obscure comic that only die hard Marvel fans knew, had a talking tree and a talking raccoon.AND SOME HOW, James Gunn was able to sell both. Then does it again with a talking shark in SuicideSquad. Madame Web was a spin off of an immensely popular comic, was featured heavily in the tail end of the 90s Animated series, and was for the most part more mainstream than Guardians.
Yeah; Guardians of the Galaxy was established in I think 1969, like right before the 70's started. They faded into obscurity quickly back then, but then suddenly, back in 2014, comic book movies and games and stuff had a resurgence, and James Gunn, like you said, was somehow able to sell people on a talking tree that could only repeat it's name(Groot),( who was also voiced by Vin Diesel); his friend, an Australian space raccoon, I think? They were all cool to me, honestly. There was also the space assassin, Drax, who was played Dave Bautista, the former wrestler, (who was pretty good); one of Thanos' many daughters, Gamora, and their "leader", Peter Quill, aka, Star Lord. I wasn't sure who they were, but seeing the opening scene where you see Star Lord dancing at the beginning, that kinda scene, is how you know you're getting into something that's fun, and the Guardians of the Galaxy are like a fun campy action/comedy movie. And also, The Suicide Squad, with the James Gunn talking shark, and also, Polka Dot Man, and Peacemaker, who managed to get his own series from this movie, and redeem himself. And yes, everyone who knows who Madame Web is, knows her from the 90's Spider-Man cartoon, in which Madame Web was a clairvoyant, blind old woman, who used her powers to help Spider-Man and his friends on occasion. But this movie has NO Spider-Man whatsoever. Sure, Ezekiel Simms, is technically like Spider-Man, he had the same powers as Peter Parker, but he was never a bad guy. He was an anti-hero. Also, Ben Parker(Peter's Uncle Ben), was also in the movie for whatever reason, as was Peter's mother, Mary Parker. Why they were there? I literally have no clue. And as someone who's favorite superhero is Spider-Man, it didn't occur to me that Madame Web was SUPPOSED to be the same character from the cartoon, but younger for some reason? But the cast they got to play Mary and Ben Parker weren't bad. I never would've expected to see Adam Scott or Emma Roberts as Peter's Uncle and Mother. Where's his father, Richard though? I know, his Aunt May and Uncle Ben raise Peter Parker, and were more like his parents than his actual parents, but did he just...NOT have a dad in this universe or something?
Before 2009, Wade Wilson / Deadpool also was a D-list comicbook character. If you were to conduct a survey and began asking random passers-by on the street about him, next to no-one would know who he was at the time. The entire promo campaign from 2015/16 and how Reynolds and 20th Century Fox managed to sell the flick and the character to all those "Average Joes" was a sheer masterstroke. P.S. - Before 2008, Iron Man was widely considered a B-list comicbook character. P.P.S. - Funnily enough, before 2009 Madame Web was arguably more famous than Deadpool thanks to her fairly prominent appearances on the highly successful Spiderman cartoon from the 1990s.
@discobolos4227 I get that, Deadpool was just some nobody, BEFORE Ryan Reynolds' portrayal of him, because he'd ALREADY failed at being Hal Jordan/ the first human Green Lantern, and at the same time, he'd ALREADY portrayed Wade Wilson/Deadpool in the horrendously bad dumpster fire known as "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", and years before even THAT, in 2004, he'd played Hannibal King in Blade: Trinity, and caused some people doubt. So, before Wade Wilson in X-Men Origins Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds had messed up as Hannibal King, and Hal Jordan. But to his credit, Ryan Reynolds accepts responsibility for his actions, but also, I don't think he that badly as Wade...at least until the part where his mouth is stitched shut. But to be fair, that wasn't his idea. It was the main bad guy's idea. He even says to Wade: "You're a good solider Wade, the only problem is your mouth". Which I get. Deadpool is known for running his mouth, constantly, but that's a HUGE part of who he is as a character. Without it, you get Crappy Cy-Pool who looked like Tall Lex Luthor or something, I don't know. Yes, not everyone knows that Wade underwent horrific experiment's, that why his entire promo for the movie, and the execution of said movie, "Deadpool", was genius. I was willing to give Deadpool a chance, even after his bad first impression I got from in X-Men Origins. I mean, Spider-Man and Wolverine are my 2 favorite superheroes, and I already liked Ryan Reynolds as an actor, he's genuinely hilarious, and I actually didn't mind him as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern. I get why people were pissed about though. I mean, Sinestro, did look pretty bad, he looked like an evil Vincent Price, especially when he created the Yellow Lanterns, but I didn't hate the Green Lantern movie, honestly. I even liked Black Adam, too. I'm just saying. And yeah, despite being an "Average Joe", I thought the Deadpool promo was great. An ad I actually WANTED to see more of. Now that's something... And yes, I remember Iron Man being a low tier character too, before RDJ took the role and made the guy insanely, wildly popular. Also, him being in Tropic Thunder, (one of the best movies of all time), that same year, may also have had something to do with it, I mean, I'm only saying... and yeah, I know, Madame Web was well known and AS popular as she was BECAUSE of her role in the 90's Spider-Man cartoon, in which Stan Lee's wife played her character very well, and she wasn't even an actress! But yes, good sir, you're right, about Wade/Wilson Deadpool, and about Tony Stark/Iron Man in 2008.
IIRC, Dakota Johnson (which I absolutely adored in her role in Suspiria) didn't know this was taking part in a different universe than the Disney Marvel universe (because her agent either didn't know or didn't let her know). She thought she was joining the other big guns, so how much of a bummer it must have been to realize this was the lesser and often ridiculed Marvel universe, standing right next to Morbius... /vomit Yeah, she ain't coming back for a sequel.
Dakota was brilliant in Suspiria and Daddio from last year with Sean Penn. But no more super hero movies (or any maybe future 'many' shades movies/reboots) for her. Also, didn't dislike Madame Web as much as I could have.
Emma Robert’s blaming memes as the reason why Madam Web did bad is so ironic because literally memes helped Barbie and Oppenheimer succeed commercially and critically too
Hi Mark, I didn't think it was possible to sink below the Birdemic standard, but Madame Web has given me pause at the thought that evolution can work in reverse.
Absurd, but not surprising. One of the producers probably said they should have Sidney Sweeny in a skirt dance on a table. Maybe add a stripper pol... wait, that's too much? Ok, then just a normal table in a truck stop. Why not?
This movie was written by the guys who wrote the Power Rangers movie. Unpopular opinion, I LOVED that movie, it understood what it was: an aged up Power Rangers experience. This movie however...makes me mad.
I can imagine the director starting a scene and one of the girls asking "What is my motivation here?" and him saying "You have none... Just get out there and do it."
@@fcsuper Exactly. This movie needed more emoting. They should have cast Calculon as the girl hero. Now there was an acting unit that knew how to emote and stand up to hack directors.
Another great one Mark!!! Thanks again!! 🤣 that skit..probably one of my favs!! Had me dying dude!! Happy Halloween!🎃 👻..Don’t forget to throw the candy on the ground🍬 🍫🍭 make ‘em work for it 😂
I felt my life evaporate from my body as I watched this. I am now simply a husk of my former being, a dark void of inescapable sadness since having replaced my soul.
They're not even a bad idea, as Miles Morales, Spider Gwen, or Black Cat could work as stand alone movies (or Venom, if the Venom movies were actually good.) The idea isn't the problem; it's the execution.
@@MarvinPowell1 Plus Sony doesn't really have a choice. They screwed up Spider-Man so bad with the ASM universe that nobody trusts them to do it anymore without Kevin Fiege holding their hands.
I used to watch a lot of your videos and I sort of stopped for no real reason but seeing you put a modern movie in the mix got my attention. You should consider doing more modern movies every now and then
Another thing I thought was weird about the marketing was that, not only did it not communicate WHY I should see this movie, it didn't communicate to me WHAT this movie even was about? I was very confused by the marketing. But I guess the movie was so all over the place that this kind of makes sense.
So, if the villain had done nothing, Cassy wouldn’t have interacted with the three girls and they wouldn’t have gone on to be a threat to him? His original action in murdering the mother also led to Cassy getting her ‘power’, which she later used to help the girls. He’s basically the architect of his own downfall. I can’t decide whether this is accidentally clever writing or just poorly thought through.
5:05 Mark, your editing skills keep getting better and better. Has to be the best insert you've done so far. The lighting, the clips of reactions, all of it. Thank you for the years of great videos! And here's to many more years of many more videos!!
It's insane that this movie even made it into the production and marketing stages. Genuinely everyone in the movie doesn't have any interest or passion at all. Even in the marketing Sidney Sweeney and Dakota Johnson were bored as fuck. Sony must be smoking all the good shit over at their office because after I watched this with my brother for shits and giggles I can confidently say this is the worst comic book movie ever made besides a couple close contenders.
I don't see why they didn't just make the movie about the three spider women and have maddam web be their mentor. Yes it's unlikely that it would have pulled in Spider-Man numbers but it probably would have been, at the very least, decently received.
@MamaMOB I understand people want Spider-Man. what I'm saying is a movie about three spider women would have been better received than whatever the hell Madame web is.
@@bigkmoviesandgamesIf I remember right; I think Madame Web was a character from the 1994 Spider-Man cartoon, and got her own comic book series because of that? She was also voiced by Stan Lee's wife whenever she was in the cartoon episodes. Where she has some of the same powers as in this movie: seeing into the future; starring in bad movies, but I can't say that I remembered Madame Web either stealing cars, or kidnapping 3 other girls. Just like Morbius, she's affiliated with Spider-Man, but both Morbius and Madame Web have their own comic book series. But their movies on the other hand? Feel like laughably bad parodies of Morbius and Madame Web. But at least Morbius had the stupid memes about it, and some dude dancing. This movie has some guy who stole Nathan Drake's shirt, is badly dubbed, and anticlimactically falls out of a window, several times in the movie, but when they ACTUALLY get to that part, he just dies even MORE pathetically. I'm glad I didn't see this trainwreck. Because I didn't even remember who the hell Madame Web even is. Also, for some dumb reason, Peter Parker's Uncle and I think either aunt or mother were in this movie just because they probably needed SOMETHING to tie it into Spider-Man. Ben Parker is the bearded paramedic guy who's whats-her face's boss, and I'm pretty sure that Peter's mom is the blonde lady at the baby shower or something? Still wouldn't have helped, even IF Spidey were in this, whether it was Miles Morales, Peter Parker, Miguel 'O Hara(Spider-Man 2099) or some as of unknown yet Spider-Man who's not Peter Parker. But I agree, it definitely would've made the movie a bit more interesting, even though I'm sure it would've still flopped anyways, but it probably could've at LEAST been less awful than Morbius...or even Suicide Squad...sure, it would've never been able to properly provide Spidey numbers, but it also didn't HAVE to be a complete and utter disastrous dumpster firey trainwreck of a disaster, like Joker 2...or the last 2 Venom movies. Geez, is Deadpool & Wolverine the only great comic book movie of the year? Or last 2 years? It sure feels like it...
@@shawnfields2369 yeah I remember the character from the animated series but she's more of a mentor and not really lead movie material. And yeah I do wish we had more good superhero movies lately.
@@bigkmoviesandgames Yeah, after talking about Madame Web(the character) I did remember all these things about her from the cartoon. Was never really the biggest fan of hers, that's probably why I barely even remembered her, and also, the fact that she's NOT an 80-90 year old blind paraplegic clairvoyant old woman, with precognitive powers, (and some stylish shades); in this movie, makes it feel like it was meant to be a parody, and NOT seriously meant to be part of the Spider-Verse. But whatever, Adam Scott as a younger Ben Parker, doesn't sound like a terrible idea. It just sounds like something SNL would've thought up, is all. But why even have Peter Parker's future Uncle Ben,and mother Mary Parker be in this, but not his father Richard Parker? Also if I remember correctly wasn't Ben Parker ALSO Spider-Man? The Scarlet Spider? Why not just make HIM Spider-Man for this film then? So his version of Spider-Man could help stop the bad guy(who's not even REALLY supposed to be a bad guy, Ezekiel Simms is supposed to be an anti-hero, like Venom, or Morbius, and NOT some random guy, who looks like Jeremy Jahns' evil twin). Yup, she's definitely not leading role material; I agree completely. Morbius, I could see that sort of working, but they just messed it up. With this, they didn't realize that Madame Web just is meant to be the supportive character, who advises Spider-Man, not goes on her own crappy adventures with 3 random women before they throw some guy through a rooftop building who out there asked for a Madame Web origin story movie? I'd have rather gotten The Amazing Spider-Man 3 or a Scarlet Spider movie WAY before this movie. Or even the Sinister Six movie...but I am glad we got something like Deadpool & Wolverine though...and the "Into The Spider-Verse" movies. Which prove that you can make a Spider-Verse without Peter Parker's Spider-Man, but you have to actually TRY, and care about what you're doing, not just shamelessly throw the name of a certain character out there, and hope for the best. Otherwise, you get movies like Madame Web and Morbius!
Idea fix: Have the movie set in the 1980s. Have the three girls already have powers, are already fighting crime and be under Madam Web's mentorship from the get go. Have it be a movie about the older and younger generations disagreeing but finding common ground to deal with problems they can't solve on their own. The villain can still be Ezekial, but have him be even more villainous and cruel. If you're gonna go that route with him, go ALL the way. Hell, if you want, you could have it be R-rated (and no, not just for Sydney Sweeney's Tits), but to show Ezekial killing people brutally with spider fangs or talons or something. At the end, you could have one of the girls or all three run into Richard and Ben Parker and telling Richard congrats on having a newborn baby. When they ask about a name, Richard calls him Peter and they say he's got a bright future ahead of him, with a remix of the Tobey theme playing for some fan nostalgia.
I only knew of Madame Web from the 90s Spider-Man cartoon, but there she was an old blind lady who couldn't walk and floated around in a chair with a bunch of spider-webs coming out of it. She would give advice to Spider-Man from time to time. So I actually HAD heard of the character, but what I saw in the movie trailers looked nothing like that.
putting yourself on the couch was one of the best scene that you have done it was really good !!! like it looked like you where actually there with all the interactions and everything. I know most of the times you do it is on a crap flik or black and white flik. but this one was top notch !
the only good thing i hoped for this was, when that black spder suit appeared would be the reason why Jamieson hates spider-man, but no, its just there.
I want to see an entire film where it is just Mark wandering into scenes from other movies and saying snarky things. He has gotten so good at it that I truly believe he could pull it off.

The wig, the glasses, the catchphrase - brilliant

The tension of whether he would dump the chips should have been the A plot of the whole movie.

Honestly it would make the movie much better
@TimmmTim it made that scene actually entertaining UNLIKE the entire movie.... But yes I agree...
His movie inserts are my favorite thing ever. This was next level though. Still less socially awkward than the main character somehow
@christopherclemons-em7cf yes this one I think was absolutely perfect... The reactions, his delivery... Perfect!

Not only did the Spider People manage to get the baby into a good foster home, but they also managed to send along all her mother’s papers etc as well! Very thorough. Very thoughtful.

IIRC, Dakota Johnson (which I absolutely adored in her role in Suspiria) didn't know this was taking part in a different universe than the Disney Marvel universe (because her agent either didn't know or didn't let her know). She thought she was joining the other big guns, so how much of a bummer it must have been to realize this was the lesser and often ridiculed Marvel universe, standing right next to Morbius... /vomit Yeah, she ain't coming back for a sequel.
She and most of the other cast thought they were going to star in a Marvel movie, and not a SPUMM. And only found out after filming was done.
Dakota was brilliant in Suspiria and Daddio from last year with Sean Penn. But no more super hero movies (or any maybe future 'many' shades movies/reboots) for her. Also, didn't dislike Madame Web as much as I could have.
Emma Robert’s blaming memes as the reason why Madam Web did bad is so ironic because literally memes helped Barbie and Oppenheimer succeed commercially and critically too
We went to Denny's to dance on tables, the truck stops were too far away.
Hi Mark, I didn't think it was possible to sink below the Birdemic standard, but Madame Web has given me pause at the thought that evolution can work in reverse.
I've seen a lot of channels rip on Madame Web, but I already know Mark's take will be the best before I watch it
The dancing on the table is ABSURD
who......EVER thought that would be a good idea to just insert into a movie?
@@daxmiller35 it's all modern Hollywood has left: awkward dance scenes and musical sequences for no apparent reason. It's exhausting and awful
Absurd, but not surprising. One of the producers probably said they should have Sidney Sweeny in a skirt dance on a table. Maybe add a stripper pol... wait, that's too much? Ok, then just a normal table in a truck stop. Why not?
The producers saw COYOTE UGLY and thought, "You know what this movie needs?"
@@TemperedMedia You mean "Bollywood". Hollywood just stole it.
„Cassie‘s really shitty babysitting gig“ must be the best description of this movie 😂
Apparently the only reason Sydney Sweeney was in this movie was just so she could get "Anyone But You" greenlit
Just adding to the chorus that the chip eating insert had me rolling. Absolute perfection, give yourself a bonus and an extra day off next week!
This movie was written by the guys who wrote the Power Rangers movie. Unpopular opinion, I LOVED that movie, it understood what it was: an aged up Power Rangers experience.
This movie however...makes me mad.
I'm surprised the horrible product placement didn't get mentioned.
I hate spicy chips too mark, brilliant editing by the way
Yeah, really. Potato chips are great on their own, why add a bunch of this or that to them?
Dude you're getting good at putting yourself in the scenes. Looks damn clean, Mark.
I can imagine the director starting a scene and one of the girls asking "What is my motivation here?" and him saying "You have none... Just get out there and do it."
Or saying CUT mid-scene, "What's going on Dakota‽ You are emoting WAY too much! Just say your lines and stop trying to me a movie star!"
@@fcsuper Exactly. This movie needed more emoting. They should have cast Calculon as the girl hero. Now there was an acting unit that knew how to emote and stand up to hack directors.
Have you ever attended a party, where no one wanted to be there…
I watch and rewatch and then rewatch your videos all the time. Thank you for the hours of laughs!
Another great one Mark!!! Thanks again!! 🤣 that skit..probably one of my favs!! Had me dying dude!! Happy Halloween!🎃 👻..Don’t forget to throw the candy on the ground🍬 🍫🍭 make ‘em work for it 😂
Guardians..? Who would’ve figured opening with Ironman..?
TBH I’ve no idea what’s happening in which Spiderverse when..😳
I felt my life evaporate from my body as I watched this. I am now simply a husk of my former being, a dark void of inescapable sadness since having replaced my soul.
Time to go into marketing, I guess.
Holy shit... your green screen insert here is OFF THE WALL! Love your stuff... This is the BEST!!!
Spider-Man movies without Spider-Man are a bad idea
They're not even a bad idea, as Miles Morales, Spider Gwen, or Black Cat could work as stand alone movies (or Venom, if the Venom movies were actually good.) The idea isn't the problem; it's the execution.
@@MarvinPowell1 Plus Sony doesn't really have a choice. They screwed up Spider-Man so bad with the ASM universe that nobody trusts them to do it anymore without Kevin Fiege holding their hands.
Very true.
When made by Sony? Absolutely. I think Marvel could do it right, though. Maybe.
Especially venom ones
I used to watch a lot of your videos and I sort of stopped for no real reason but seeing you put a modern movie in the mix got my attention. You should consider doing more modern movies every now and then
Absolutely by far the best skit you've done Mark. It was perfect it actually looked like you were in the movie. And it was hilarious too. Bravo 🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂
Another thing I thought was weird about the marketing was that, not only did it not communicate WHY I should see this movie, it didn't communicate to me WHAT this movie even was about? I was very confused by the marketing. But I guess the movie was so all over the place that this kind of makes sense.
I didn't watch this trash but I noticed in all scenes they're in the rain forest, no one is even sweating a bit. Just zero effort. lol
Your self-insertions into scenes are getting better and better, Mark! This was fantastic. =D
Can we get a fanboyflicks and Brandon tenold collaboration please? The sarcasm would be epic. Two Canadian masters of bad films reviews.
I think that Brandon would get immensely pissed off and eat Mark alive before an end of their shoot. :D
I never clicked on a link so fast. Thank you for your awesome shows.
Totally agree with all the "best Mark insert: comments. He just keeps getting better and better.
05:28 "Peter Weder, the Wiener Beater". When I first heard this. I couldn't stop laughing, it's literally the funniest thing I've heard this year. 😅😅😅
So, if the villain had done nothing, Cassy wouldn’t have interacted with the three girls and they wouldn’t have gone on to be a threat to him? His original action in murdering the mother also led to Cassy getting her ‘power’, which she later used to help the girls. He’s basically the architect of his own downfall. I can’t decide whether this is accidentally clever writing or just poorly thought through.
Mark = Best baby shower guest ever!
Great video review
Ive been a fan for over a decade now
The sketches have gotten so damn elaborate at this point - even having different perspectives..
Love it, thanks! 🤣
At 5:50, u forgot the reflection of u in the mirror, Mark is a vampire :D
My boy Mark kept his word and actually started doing some newer films, I love it!
I think that's probably the best "self-insert" scene you've ever made. Those reaction shots are just perfect!
the spicy chips insert is just Genius, thanks WMWM
6:11 "Cassie keeps having visions of the future before it happens..." - is there another way?
😂
You thought Peter Parker designed the costume himself? Nope. It’s actually official spider people gear
I, too, have the superhuman ability to make everything awkward and have everyone think that I am weird. Am.. am I a Marvel superhero?
5:05 Mark, your editing skills keep getting better and better. Has to be the best insert you've done so far. The lighting, the clips of reactions, all of it. Thank you for the years of great videos! And here's to many more years of many more videos!!
Your best Skit so far.
Usually films play a bit of ‘standby to see an arachnid’ music before showing one. E.g. Dr. No. It’s a kind and considerate custom.
5:09 Mark just makes the movie so much better. Emma Robert's reaction is gold.😂👍💯
16:47 😂✌️
5:45 this scene is just awesome! Love how you did this
My sister and I turned it on and we only got about 20 minutes and had to turn it off. We are convinced it was written by AI
The insert was so good, so incredibly good!
Someone needs to go check on poor Peter.
Yep, probably.
This was your best insert scene EVER. Truly perfection.
your videos are getting funnier and funnier as the years go by! keep up the great work ! love from NJ!
There was a bloke in my village called Michael Hunt. People called him Mick, even though we say "me" instead of "my" 😂
Haha it translates on both sides of the pond.
It's insane that this movie even made it into the production and marketing stages. Genuinely everyone in the movie doesn't have any interest or passion at all. Even in the marketing Sidney Sweeney and Dakota Johnson were bored as fuck.
Sony must be smoking all the good shit over at their office because after I watched this with my brother for shits and giggles I can confidently say this is the worst comic book movie ever made besides a couple close contenders.
It was either written by AI or by someone that has never had any real legitimate interactions with other humans.
The no 1 reason that madame web failed is because it was abysmal. It’s not a mystery.
Come for the video, stay for the inserts.
"It really says something when you'd rather have Shazam! 2 numbers." 💀
I don't see why they didn't just make the movie about the three spider women and have maddam web be their mentor. Yes it's unlikely that it would have pulled in Spider-Man numbers but it probably would have been, at the very least, decently received.
No it wouldn't have. People don't want spider women they want Spider-Man.
@MamaMOB I understand people want Spider-Man. what I'm saying is a movie about three spider women would have been better received than whatever the hell Madame web is.
@@bigkmoviesandgamesIf I remember right; I think Madame Web was a character from the 1994 Spider-Man cartoon, and got her own comic book series because of that? She was also voiced by Stan Lee's wife whenever she was in the cartoon episodes. Where she has some of the same powers as in this movie: seeing into the future; starring in bad movies, but I can't say that I remembered Madame Web either stealing cars, or kidnapping 3 other girls. Just like Morbius, she's affiliated with Spider-Man, but both Morbius and Madame Web have their own comic book series. But their movies on the other hand? Feel like laughably bad parodies of Morbius and Madame Web. But at least Morbius had the stupid memes about it, and some dude dancing. This movie has some guy who stole Nathan Drake's shirt, is badly dubbed, and anticlimactically falls out of a window, several times in the movie, but when they ACTUALLY get to that part, he just dies even MORE pathetically. I'm glad I didn't see this trainwreck. Because I didn't even remember who the hell Madame Web even is. Also, for some dumb reason, Peter Parker's Uncle and I think either aunt or mother were in this movie just because they probably needed SOMETHING to tie it into Spider-Man. Ben Parker is the bearded paramedic guy who's whats-her face's boss, and I'm pretty sure that Peter's mom is the blonde lady at the baby shower or something? Still wouldn't have helped, even IF Spidey were in this, whether it was Miles Morales, Peter Parker, Miguel 'O Hara(Spider-Man 2099) or some as of unknown yet Spider-Man who's not Peter Parker. But I agree, it definitely would've made the movie a bit more interesting, even though I'm sure it would've still flopped anyways, but it probably could've at LEAST been less awful than Morbius...or even Suicide Squad...sure, it would've never been able to properly provide Spidey numbers, but it also didn't HAVE to be a complete and utter disastrous dumpster firey trainwreck of a disaster, like Joker 2...or the last 2 Venom movies. Geez, is Deadpool & Wolverine the only great comic book movie of the year? Or last 2 years? It sure feels like it...
@@shawnfields2369 yeah I remember the character from the animated series but she's more of a mentor and not really lead movie material. And yeah I do wish we had more good superhero movies lately.
@@bigkmoviesandgames Yeah, after talking about Madame Web(the character) I did remember all these things about her from the cartoon. Was never really the biggest fan of hers, that's probably why I barely even remembered her, and also, the fact that she's NOT an 80-90 year old blind paraplegic clairvoyant old woman, with precognitive powers, (and some stylish shades); in this movie, makes it feel like it was meant to be a parody, and NOT seriously meant to be part of the Spider-Verse. But whatever, Adam Scott as a younger Ben Parker, doesn't sound like a terrible idea. It just sounds like something SNL would've thought up, is all. But why even have Peter Parker's future Uncle Ben,and mother Mary Parker be in this, but not his father Richard Parker? Also if I remember correctly wasn't Ben Parker ALSO Spider-Man? The Scarlet Spider? Why not just make HIM Spider-Man for this film then? So his version of Spider-Man could help stop the bad guy(who's not even REALLY supposed to be a bad guy, Ezekiel Simms is supposed to be an anti-hero, like Venom, or Morbius, and NOT some random guy, who looks like Jeremy Jahns' evil twin). Yup, she's definitely not leading role material; I agree completely. Morbius, I could see that sort of working, but they just messed it up. With this, they didn't realize that Madame Web just is meant to be the supportive character, who advises Spider-Man, not goes on her own crappy adventures with 3 random women before they throw some guy through a rooftop building who out there asked for a Madame Web origin story movie? I'd have rather gotten The Amazing Spider-Man 3 or a Scarlet Spider movie WAY before this movie. Or even the Sinister Six movie...but I am glad we got something like Deadpool & Wolverine though...and the "Into The Spider-Verse" movies. Which prove that you can make a Spider-Verse without Peter Parker's Spider-Man, but you have to actually TRY, and care about what you're doing, not just shamelessly throw the name of a certain character out there, and hope for the best. Otherwise, you get movies like Madame Web and Morbius!
Idea fix: Have the movie set in the 1980s. Have the three girls already have powers, are already fighting crime and be under Madam Web's mentorship from the get go. Have it be a movie about the older and younger generations disagreeing but finding common ground to deal with problems they can't solve on their own.
The villain can still be Ezekial, but have him be even more villainous and cruel. If you're gonna go that route with him, go ALL the way. Hell, if you want, you could have it be R-rated (and no, not just for Sydney Sweeney's Tits), but to show Ezekial killing people brutally with spider fangs or talons or something.
At the end, you could have one of the girls or all three run into Richard and Ben Parker and telling Richard congrats on having a newborn baby. When they ask about a name, Richard calls him Peter and they say he's got a bright future ahead of him, with a remix of the Tobey theme playing for some fan nostalgia.
Thanks for the episode, had some good chuckles.
That was good. Not only was your editing great on your insert but the dialogue you came up with about hot chips. Hehe
I always wait to see how he'll insert himself into a scene and each time is always better than the last.
Ugh. We used to have the freedom to talk on the internet. Until Google came along and started banning everything.
Love your movie reviews. Your scene insert was hilarious!
I only knew of Madame Web from the 90s Spider-Man cartoon, but there she was an old blind lady who couldn't walk and floated around in a chair with a bunch of spider-webs coming out of it. She would give advice to Spider-Man from time to time. So I actually HAD heard of the character, but what I saw in the movie trailers looked nothing like that.
5:09 fine work my sir, truly great stuff
keep em coming Mark... funny as always
putting yourself on the couch was one of the best scene that you have done it was really good !!! like it looked like you where actually there with all the interactions and everything. I know most of the times you do it is on a crap flik or black and white flik. but this one was top notch !
Great video Mark! You never disappoint!
Been watching for 10 + years now. Still happy to see you making these 👏🏾 Don’t ever stop 😁
After that amazing insert in the baby shower scene, Weird Movies With Mark just got a whole new meaning. A literal one.
Emma Roberts must have seen Drew Gooden's Little Italy video too.
the only good thing i hoped for this was, when that black spder suit appeared would be the reason why Jamieson hates spider-man, but no, its just there.
I want to see an entire film where it is just Mark wandering into scenes from other movies and saying snarky things. He has gotten so good at it that I truly believe he could pull it off.
This channel, is one of the greatest hidden gems that I've come across, in a long time.
