Madame Web's viral line not from awful Spider-Man spin-off trailer

Feb 14, 2024 4:19 PM

The highly anticipated Spider-Man spin-off, Madame Web, has reportedly removed one of its most talked-about lines from the film's final cut. The line, which garnered significant attention and spawned numerous internet memes, was "He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died." Despite being featured in the film's trailer, the line will not be present in the movie, a move that fans find disappointing as the line's absurdity had become a point of interest. Furthermore, Madame Web's poor reception, with a rating of just 17% on Rotten Tomatoes, has cast doubt on the film's success, only slightly surpassing that of the critically derided Morbius. The decision to cut this line has sparked conversations about embracing the flawed aspects of perceived "bad" films to fully engage audiences' expectations.

Is the viral line from the Madame Web trailer in the final movie?

No, the viral line "He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died," that gained attention from the Madame Web trailer has been cut from the final release of the film.

Madame Web is part of the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters and further expands on the Spider-Man franchise, without Spider-Man himself. The blend of superhero film and psychological thriller elements has piqued fan interest despite early signs of a rocky reception. Madame Web, played by Dakota Johnson, is a clairvoyant whose abilities include precognition and astral projection, which often help guide Spider-Man in the comics. The movie adaptation is one of several attempts by Sony to build out its own Marvel universe, following other character-focused movies like Venom and Morbius.

It's a shame they cut that viral line from the Madame Web movie - it added some quirky charm to the character's backstory. Hopefully, the film's blend of superhero and psychological thriller elements can still draw in audiences despite its rocky reception so far.

It's a shame to hear that they cut out the viral line from the Madame Web trailer, especially when it had become such a point of interest for fans. The movie's poor reception is also disappointing, but I'm still curious to see how it expands the Spider-Man universe without featuring Spider-Man himself.

It's interesting to see how the removal of a seemingly crucial line from the Madame Web movie has stirred conversation among fans. Despite the poor reception and doubts about its success, the film's blending of superhero and psychological thriller elements still intrigues me.
