No superhero film had been bashed as hard as Madame Web when it debuted, and while it never really got to blow up in theaters, there have been a few (myself included) who have been attesting that the movie was actually a great time.
Now the movie has come out on Netflix, and it’s turned out to be the Top 1 film on Netflix (as per @HollywoodHandle):
‘MADAME WEB’ is currently the Top 1 film on Netflix US.

Even before the film released in theaters, Madame Web was already gathering all kinds of memes online starting with the line, “He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died.”
Not to mention the movie also had an all-star cast of some of the most popular young actresses at the time including Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, and Celeste O’Connor. Not to mention Dakota Johnson herself was a lightning rod of sex appeal and everything she was saying throughout the entire press tour for the film became meme-able.
Though the film did have its bashers, there were some online who have attested that the campiness for the movie is a delight to watch for any cynical comic book movie fan who knows how to watch films sarcastically.

We’re on the verge of a Madame Web cultural shift when everyone actually watches it and realizes it’s the funniest movie ever made https://t.co/Z3DPdcpvEr

It’s unclear where Madame Web is going to end up in the socail consciousness, but I have to tell you I honestly haven’t had a better time in the cinema . It’s like The Room for superhero films.
Madame Web is now streaming on Netflix.
