I’m feeling conflicted about this movie. I’m a long time Spider-Man fan and I’m fairly accustomed to Tom Holland’s version of the character. I recognize that he’s not everyone’s cup of tea, and many people prefer either Tobey McGuire or Andrew Garfield and that’s perfectly fine. Seeing the lightning indicative of Electro, the signature menacing cackle of Green Goblin and then Doctor Octopus, you’d think I’d died and gone to Superhero Heaven to converse with Stan Lee. Plus, barring a push-back, it’s dropping on my freaking Birthday. I should be excited. I should doing cartwheels and bouncing like an idiot. Frankly, I’m hopeful but I also recognize that MCU Phase 4 is going in an extremely unwanted direction. I’m hoping for the absolute best, but I’m already prepared for the worst.
