Is Dakota Johnson's 'Madame Web' A Time-Waster? Twitter Reacts To Spider-Verse

The Spider-Man universe is growing, and Dakota Johnson joins as 'Madame Web,' adding a new twist to the complex Spidey world.

With an all-female cast taking the lead, the big question arises: Is this expansion a hit or a miss?

Dakota Johnson, the face behind 'Madame Web,' recently discussed the differences between the initial idea and the final version in an interview. This sheds light on the confusion surrounding Marvel's Phase 5, as fans express their concerns.

Ezekiel Sims: A Puzzle For Viewers?

Ezekiel Sims (Tahar Rahim) plays a key role, but unclear motives leave the audience wanting more. The attempt to present him as an anti-hero lacks depth, merely scratching the surface of his abilities.

Why Are Twitter Users Confused?

In an unexpected turn, Twitter users turned to Wikipedia to unravel the complexities of the 'Madame Web' plot. The move reflects the challenges viewers faced in grasping the storyline.

Some even shared the screenshots from Wikipedia.

One said, "I¡¯m sorry Madame Web, I wasn¡¯t familiar with your game." while sharing a Wikipedia screenshot.

Another said, "Tried to read the madame web plot on Wikipedia and"

I was expecting Madame Web to at least be more entertaining due to such horrific reviews. It¡¯s not even entertaining. It¡¯s just¡­. genuinely¡­ a waste of time.

I don't whether or not she's above Madame Web, but she looks pretty high in those clips I've seen.

Trying to convince us that movies like Madame Web & Morbius are in the same tier as the Spider-Man Raimi Trilogy, Blade 1&2, X-Men 1&2, is absolutely fucking stupid. https://t.co/8sTcCX45jr pic.twitter.com/zUZdrJ6seU
