Part 2/9:
The initial trailer for Madame Webb was met with widespread disdain, quickly garnering a significant number of dislikes—roughly 200,000—compared to only about 110,000 likes. The internet's response was swift, savage, and unrelenting. The reasons cited include cringe-worthy dialogue, awkward acting, and a general lack of coherence in the promotional material. This backlash intensified problems for the movie's reputation before its release even got underway.
Adding fuel to the fire was the timing of the trailer release, which came shortly after Sony's The Marvels—a cringe girl boss Marvel film—also flopped. The juxtaposition of these disappointments painted a bleak picture for Sony's Spider-Man universe.
