SPIDER-MAN: BEYOND THE SPIDER-VERSE Producers Confirm They're Willing To Delay Threequel If They Have To

@CAPTAINPINKEYE - As long as they are paid for hours worked I see no problem with the expectations
to work long hours. It happens at start ups. It happens in the corporate world. It happens with entrepreneurs. It happens with farmers. It happened throughout history.

The fact is, some jobs require long hours. If you have a deadline to meet and there is a lot of work to do, we’ll someone has to do it.

If you don’t like it leave. I had a job where I traveled all over the world, for weeks at a time, launching new work sites for the company I worked for. I worked 70-80 hour weeks, in foreign counties, oftentimes working overnights, and away from my family the whole time. Did it for 5 years. I was compensated well. Then when my wife and I decided we wanted a family, I moved out of that role.

Hard work sometimes requires lots of hours.

@Itwasme - Do you think it’s true? I think what I said. Sometimes you have no choice in life and you do what you got to do to feed your family. If you have options in life then move on.

@KaptainKhaos - exactly

@EgoEgor - "You can't tell a story and manipulate your audience to wait 3 years for a conclusion to THIS movie."





Nothing new.

@EgoEgor - Man, armchair screenwriters... Movies typically end on a third act, which is, you know, the end. And the First Act wasn't long at all. It was 20 minutes. It ended when Gwen was invited into the Spider Society and left her dad. Literally crossing the threshold, aka the portal.
I think your problem is that you think Miles was the protagonist, which isn't true. Miles doesn't really want anything until the end of the movie, where he decides to go home to save his dad. This is Gwen's story. The movie started with her and ended with her and told a complete character arc inbetween. And on the side it opened up a new overarching storyline for Miles that's going to take center stage in Beyond. It's a cliffhanger, man. Not exactly a brand new concept. And we knew there would be one, since they literally announced this movie and Beyond as "part1 and part 2".

I don't know why audiences get worse and worse at keeping their expectations in check, but I wish they wouldn't blame their shortcomings on the movie.

@Drace24 -

I'm not trying to lecture here or tell people how a story should. At the end of the day story is this nebulous thing that effects all of us differently. All I can attest to is to what I personally think is a complete story. What you call "shortcomings" are just opinions at the end of the day.

As for my opinion; I liked Gwen in this story, she was had a great arc; but she wasn't the protagonist. You can certainly make a case that she has the character arc in this film. But I just felt Miles was the protagonist; he's the one who makes them big leap into leaving his comfortable world, he's the one who we see enter the multiverse portal(literally see him cross threshold), he's the one who has all the emotional reveals.

The 3rd act just felt incomplete to me because it doesn't resolve a moment they sit up before, which was that bridge scene between Miles and his father. His lack of honesty was hurting each other, it almost felt like his Dad was telling him his deepest thoughts, it was just such a great scene and I enjoyed so much that to not see that set up payoff made the movie feel incomplete. They gave that moment to Gwen, which never felt as impactful because of that bridge scene, it should've been Miles'. And it might well be in the 3rd film, but i don't feel its a "shortcoming" on my part to feel that way. They made the creative choice to tell incomplete in the hopes they'll have a great conclusion, but at the end of the day that incomplete feeling is there and ultimately hurts my enjoyment, but you're free to feel different. There's a lot to like in this movie, so don't let my criticism seem like I'm trying to kick the film, I'm just sharing how I felt about it which is a feeling that I haven't heard expressed here, that's all.

@four20smoke - Exactly! Came here to say same thing 😂
