Main summary
Key takeaways
Overview
The speaker reviews upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming release activity and predicts a major box-office opening, framing the moment as a “box office war” with DC’s Supergirl/A New Day-related performance.
Early Access and Reviews
- Availability: The film is said to be available via Amazon Prime/Amazon subscription for some viewers.
- Press screening: Press members have already seen it, and reviews are already appearing.
- Critical reception: The speaker claims trusted critics are rating it mostly positively, emphasizing strong Spider-Man action.
High Commercial Expectations
- The movie is described as heading toward the biggest premiere of the year (and the second-largest in Sony history).
- Opening weekend projections: Approximately $465M worldwide.
- Speculation: It could potentially reach $800M+, and the speaker even suggests it may make a billion quickly.
Personal Anticipation (and Past Spider-Man Views)
- The speaker says they generally like most Spider-Man movies.
- Andrew Garfield criticisms:
- Calls one of Garfield’s films “terrible.”
- Says Far From Home is the weakest of the three (though still better than the second Garfield film).
Commentary on Press/Celebrity Presence
- The speaker argues Sony is wisely keeping Mark Ruffalo “locked up,” claiming his presence would cause controversy.
- The implication is that Sony/Marvel controls where Ruffalo appears for publicity.
“Salt”/Controversy Around Supergirl
A major portion of the video focuses on backlash from Supergirl fans, who believe Spider-Man’s performance will eclipse Supergirl’s entire box office in about a day.
- The speaker claims Supergirl supporters attribute poor results to:
- Sexism/misogyny
- Hate/review-bombing campaigns
- They contrast this with other failures (e.g., The Odyssey) to argue the “bias” explanations don’t fully hold.
Digital Release and Piracy Claim
- After the film’s digital release, the speaker claims a high-quality copy has appeared online.
- They add (sarcastically) that piracy from the previous film reportedly did poorly.
Attacks on Critical Outlets (IGN / Variety)
- The speaker mocks reviews by:
- Claiming Variety gave a low rating.
- Asserting IGN shows favoritism.
- They cite a claim attributed to “Mr. zero won’t miss”:
- IGN supposedly rated The Hulk higher than A New Day.
- The speaker frames this as evidence of biased scoring.
Prediction of Further Backlash
- The speaker forecasts that once Spider-Man breaks records, Supergirl fans will intensify excuses.
- They argue Spider-Man’s success will refute claims like “superhero fatigue.”
Conclusion
The speaker frames the real issue in recent years as “fatigue from bad trashy movies,” not a decline in superhero appeal. They expect the weekend to be “fun” because the DC vs. Marvel justifications will be “shattered.”
