While good movies that stand on their own, what Homecoming and Far From Home fail to capture is the personal connection of the Spider-Man saga. S1 & S2 made everything personal to Peter, using Spider-Man as a plot device and manifestation of Peter's personal struggles. They were intimate and compelling, and while Tom Holland provides a great adolescent spin on the character, the story never feels too personal. Both of these latest spidey films seem too preoccupied with keeping the connection to the Avengers/MCU and won't let the character stand on his own.

An interesting "Watchmen" knock off with a well-rounded plot that substitutes gratuitous gore in place of tangible human emotion.

As is common whilst under the control of the Netflix overlords, I am certain this special popped up because I recently watched Colleen/Miranda's episode of "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" where she opines with Jerry "what happens when Miranda gets pregnant?" Well, apparently Netflix had so little faith in my patience that it felt the need to show me, without delay, exactly what would happen.

Now, I have never seen Miranda's YouTube channel, and I lasted a whole minute through "Haters Back Off." So I guess I just don't "get" her thing. However, I was impressed by the number of young girls in the audience who clearly find her quirky, weirdness relate-able and comforting. So for that, I say good for her.
