Morbius was indescribably bad. Every decision they made on that film was the wrong one.
I have no confidence in Kraven, either. If nothing else, they tragically miscast him, and stripped away his Russian accent for Taylor-Johnson's high-pitched, boyish squeak. I guess they did that because Quicksilver had an Eastern European accent, but whatever. I'll be happy if I just get a satisfying Rhino.
The jury's out about Madame Web. I'm skeptical about how strong a character she is, but the movie's introducing like a half dozen Spider-Man auxiliaries, so maybe one of them will stick. Why would they hire the Morbius writers a second time?
The Marvels tanked because it's been five years, it required homework, and it was under-marketed in part because of the strike. It screams "Wait for Disney Plus," so I think its numbers will climb then. Flower Moon and Napoleon also tanked hard, making me think that people just don't want to go out for movies as much any more, and/or the "Weekend Box Office Estimate" system isn't as accurate any more.
I haven't watched Season 2 of Loki yet, but I didn't much care for Season 1. I just watched Gen V, which was good but not quite up to The Boys standards. The next thing I'm really looking forward to is Echo next January.
