Oh, this is a very encouraging review! I stopped following Marvel movies a couple of years after Avengers: Endgame. Even then, it was mostly out of habit — it was obvious that the quality had dropped, and after the departure of the characters I loved, my interest became much weaker. The new ones just didn’t quite capture my heart.
But when I watched the trailer for the new Spider-Man, I started to wonder... Of course, a trailer is not always a good indicator, but this one just felt right somehow. It even reminded me a little of the 1994 animated series (that’s actually how I first discovered and fell in love with this character). Judging by what I read in your review, my intuition didn’t let me down after all.
I decided not to read the spoilers — now I’m definitely going to see it in the cinema))))
I haven’t really kept up with series either. Could you recommend something? I’m actually planning to dedicate tomorrow to doing absolutely nothing and giving my brain a bit of a rest. I can easily binge an entire season of something interesting. 😄
Yes. I watched that whole set: Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Danny Rand, and The Defenders. Also Echo and Punisher.
I was not so fond of Jessica Jones. It felt to me as if the directors had told her to keep her performance dialed up to eleven all the time. I thought she was better in the Defenders, when she was allowed to play Jones with more subtlety.

I think a lot of the energy in the MCU now is in the TV series.

My favorite is Daredevil. If you want to start at the beginning, that would be the 2015 TV series.

Oh yes, I love that series! The first season especially. You so rarely see that level of attention to detail.
Have you watched Jessica Jones, by any chance?

Hmm, I see your point. Maybe it made a difference that I wasn’t familiar with the character at all. I hadn’t even heard of her before.
Also, I was absolutely blown away by David Tennant. In my opinion, he created one of the best comic book villains in history.
