Madame Web modified the famed Spider-Man dialogue “With great power comes great responsibility” to “When you take on the responsibility, great power will come.” Now, director S.J. Clarkson reveals why.
In an interview with GamesRadar+, the filmmaker stated, “We wanted to be honorable of the comics and where she came from.”
She went on to say, “And I think that every hero has a moment where their mentor or someone important to them gives them a line which inspires them on the way, and this felt like a nod to where she was from while also making it hers.”
Meanwhile, critics slammed Madame Web in their initial reviews, calling the film a “embarrassing mess.”
Cris Parker, a YouTuber, stated, “#MadameWeb is an embarrassed mess. Talented stars wasted on probably the worst comic book movie I have ever seen.
