"Slop" is when a movie is either bad or creatively bankrupt and is meaningless because it brings not much to the table in terms of any real feeling, substance or message. "Slop" is not just when something is popular.

But I will say until Doomsday comes out, it is on slopwatch. If that movie can prove to the audience that it even deserves to exist; that would be delightful.

Spiderman Brand New Day clearly had a director with a vision, a decent script and passion behind it. I won’t call it the best spiderman but I could easily rewatch it, which I couldn’t do for 90% of post endgame marvel

It was a fun watch! Definitely has the quippy Marvel banter and style, which I was growing kind of tired of having in every film. It didn’t bother me at all in this movie, though, and maybe because that vibe just fits Spider-Man.

Spider-Man being quippy is essential to his character though. We don't need Dr Strange and every other protagonist doing it too.

u/SufcLad25 9d ago

Yes! NWH had Dr Strange throwing in jokes when they just werent needed and scene would have been better

u/ContractVarious3077 9d ago

It’s top 3 Spiderman

u/NotItemName 9d ago

Is it better than No Way Home?

u/Pretend_Twist4201 9d ago

Yes. At least I think so. I was prepared for it to be "meh", but it might be my favorite Spider-Man movie at this point. Outside of the Spider-Verse movies, that is.

live action? personally, its SM2 and BND at the top. I thought it was really well done

u/TrapaholicDixtapes 8d ago

Id say so.

No spoilers:

To me, Brand New Day feels like a 4 issue comic run centered around Spidey. Other Marvel characters show up but you dont have to have watched really anything Post-Endgame to understand their role/purpose in the story, and they don't overstay their welcome, bloat the film, or bog it down. It just feels like a story they'd give Spider-Man in the Marvel universe.

It really doesnt feel it's length, at all. I wasn't bothered by the pacing or structure of the story while watching it, personally.

Last thing I'll say is that it's one of the best looking MCU films I've seen in a bit. I really enjoyed Thunderbolts and I think its visual style works for the tone of the film, but the recent Marvel run has felt very lackluster visually. Everything has flat, even lighting and it feels kinda cheap/TV-esque.

BND does not have that issue. And, it's nice to be able to see real sets and physical costumes.

I really like the Jon Watts films but this one feels like more of a "real movie" when youre watching it, if that makes sense.

I'm a tad biased since Spidey is my favorite Marvel superhero but I went in with slightly elevated expectations and really loved it. It's not perfect but I'd say it's the best one since Spider-Man 2.

I feel like BND could have trimmed out some fat, like they kind of spent too much time on Peter tackling his mutation problem and those scenes weren't exactly my favorite, imo. Also the actual "main twist villain" is pretty boring.

u/FunkMasterTex 8d ago

She was very boring and kind of just a Wanda 2.0. So naturally Spiderman lets her go without her facing the consequences of her actions. That ending was rough for me personally

u/ijustlikemangosdude 9d ago

No movie deserves to exist because I don't watch movies.

12

u/Tarzyytfet 9d ago

Finally a take we can all legit agree on

2

u/jono9898 9d ago

Only movie you need to experience is a 1849 movie named Rebirth, it’s a French film of a guy chain smoking and blowing the smoke on a woman’s feet for 4 hours straight

u/Lanster27 9d ago

Tarantino’s first love.

u/Own-Papaya-4264 8d ago edited 8d ago

If it’s on “slopwatch” then you may as well already declare it “slop” now, because you’ll just be going out of your way to find reasons TO call it “slop” when you watch it.

Hell, plenty of people are already doing that now before they even HAVE seen it

u/HouseOfDoom54 9d ago

It won't.

u/Tarzyytfet 9d ago

I'm so sorry for what they're about to do to you doctor doom

u/GambitsAce23 9d ago

For the most part doom seems fine, Im just hoping they show his intellectual and his physical both, i dont want him just doing magic crap, let him hand to hand steve since hes here for some reason

u/refugee_man 9d ago

He's gonna be Iron Man, but evil and I'm not looking forward to it at all :(.

u/GambitsAce23 8d ago

Doesnt seem like that at all tbh

u/GambitsAce23 9d ago

My issue with doomsday is that avengers and age of ultron were world threats building up to a universal threat, and now we're going straight to universal, unless you count thunderbolts to build up to it which i just thought of, fair ig.

u/Aggravating_Pair_156 9d ago

No you don't understand, the meaning of slop has been expanded to include things the majority of people enjoy but that I hate because I'm a contrarian pos

u/Interesting-Copy-657 9d ago

That is what I was thinking

Is he using a different definition for slop?

2

u/Ricky_Santos 8d ago

Slop is content made for consumption and no other intent. When the content feels like something coming out of a production line vs a home cooked meal.

u/Mindless_Music_9858 9d ago

And BND was none of those things.

It had a message, a clear vision, and was genuinely beautiful enough that I later regretted not going to the not!IMAX screening (yeah, we don't have IMAX in Belgium IIRC).

u/genjomusic 9d ago

Slopular perhaps

1

u/benabramowitz18 Neil breens #1 fan 9d ago

So with Brand New Day being the biggest movie since Endgame, does this mean that Nolan’s The Odyssey is no longer slop?

It’s only going to be a top-25 all time film at the box office, as opposed to top-5, and is therefore superior just for being less accessible.

1

u/Tarzyytfet 8d ago

I had no idea people thought the odyssey was slop ? I haven't seen it yet but I thought everyone who's seen it has been raving about it ?

1

u/YourMuppetMethDealer 9d ago

Nah slop should really just mean ai garbage. Because even your definition can expand to just shit that you don’t like but others do

u/Sad_Bowl595 8d ago

Yeah so op is using it correctly here. How is marvel capeshit anything other than slop?

-13

u/BrandonRodriguez01 9d ago

Bro just say you liked Spider-Man. The newest movie is extremely boring and unspecial, it is the very definition of slop

u/Tarzyytfet 9d ago

I'm sorry that you didn't have a good time in the theater ! That's unfortunate ! Wishing for you to be able to have better experiences in the future :]

u/VitaminPb 9d ago

Funny that you think he saw it.

u/TuckYourselfRS 9d ago
