Missed opportunity for this to be a meta article gathering all HardDrive opinions from alternate universes about meta movies

I'm confused. This didn't feel funny. You guys post from the wrong Twitter handle or something?

Like most complaints, this one isn't so much "end Meta Movies" but "end badly written Meta Movies" or, hear me out, "stop writing badly."

The Spider-Verse sequel, while great, makes me think of this bit that Jeremy did. My ability to resonate with the Spider-Heroes is limited when the entire situation feels as contrived as needing to convert to Christianity to save a skydiving baby.

I think some of the meta stuff was better than other meta stuff. Like Ned playing Spider-Man 2 was cute, but having that as a very obvious background gag made it so much weirder when the video game Spider-Man was actually a character. It breaks suspension of disbelief.

Yo this joke sucks

Really weird that what this review complains is lacking in the movie are still major themes in it and what it says is nonsensical, intransigent behavior is explicitly set up as the villain's behavior

This movie is very, very clearly setting up a "fuck all of these concepts" resolution in the third one, so the complaint about fatalism is pretty odd. I am tired of multiverses everywhere, but this seems a strange movie on which to drive the point.

I dunno, I'm kinda rooting for where the spiderverse trilogy is going, I.E. dropping a nuclear bomb on the very concept of canon and rules when it comes to story telling and get back to story telling over rules.

I thought Hard Drive’s bad takes were supposed to be ironic jokes
