I fucking LOVE Spider-Verse. I own the Blu-ray, the Google Play version (it came out faster here) and I just bout the 4K HDR version. It's very close to the #1 spot in my heart, and it's almost a tie, but Far From Home edges out.

 

It's just the best depiction of Spider-Man outside comics to me. Homecoming is third for both of these films tho.

These Endgame numbers are insane. Screendaily reported that EG was around 1.928 OS going into the weekend, I didnt think it was true, but I guess the record is assured now

I do not remember any such outrage last year (or was it the year before?) when 2 non gay people played the characters in Call me bu your name. No one, including those who are being calling out Scarjo right now, said fuck all about that. Most were too busy foaming at the mouth praising it to high heaven. Everyone was busy praising Love Simon (one of my fav movie from last year) but I dont remember this level of controversy despite a straigh Nick Robinson playing the titular gay character. 

 

I also do not remember this level of controversy when Eddie Redmayne played a trans character and got a bleeding oscar nom for it. No one bats an eye when a non jewish actor plays Magneto whose entire identity revolves around Jewish persecution during Holocaust. 

 

Many many such cases like these can be mentioned. So why the outcry over this? Is it because she’s a women? We all want a perfect world where a role is portrayed by the an actor of the same caste/religion/race/gender/whatever and then realize that thats not a perfect world. A perfect world is where all races/religions/sex/gender/etc all have equal opportunity and can play whatever role because they’re freaking actors and thats what they’re supposed to do. 

 

But until then can we be a little hypocritical in our outrage?

Just did a quick search of "Call Me By Your Name straight actors" and these were on the first page of results, there were many more. I definitely remember the "how gay is it really" topic being a discussion during that Oscar season. Perhaps Scarlett's comments are getting the amount of attention they have because she is way more famous than anybody in CMBYN? 

 

In other news lolol Goop, you would think after the whole thing with her not realizing she was in Spider-Man Homecoming, that she would try to keep up a little more for future promotional appearances.
