Madame Web is back for round two, with the Spider-Man spinoff movie becoming the number one title on Netflix and facing ridicule all over again.
When Sony and Marvel’sMadame Webwas released in theaters back in February, it’s safe to say that it didn’t get the warmest of reactions.

“This is because no one wanted to pay a movie ticket to watch this in theatres,” one fancommentedon Madame Web’sstreaming servicesuccess.
A second fanweighed in, “Waste of time,” while a thirdagreed, “They say this movie is horrible. I’m not sure if that’s true. I just wish I could sit through the whole movie to find out. Oh well, I’ll never know.”
“Don’t watch it, its terrible. You’re absolutely welcome,” a thirdsaid, while a fourthdisagreed, “It’s not as bad as people said it was.”
While the movie has clearly divided opinion, Netflix has also been noticed for how it’s chosen to package Madame Web for the platform.
“Netflix absolutely knew what they were doing with this Madame Web logline,” one fanmused, with the logline reading: “A psychic paramedic battles a supervillain connected to her late mom, who was in the Amazon researching spiders right before she died.”
This relates back to apopular memeon social media involving the line, though it was later revealed that itwasn’t in the movieat all.
