Indeed.
Take this extract from the Den of Geek link posted earlier regarding Aunt May discovering Peter in his Spidey suit at the end:
Says Watts, “That was a thing where I don’t remember exactly at what point it came up when we were just brainstorming ideas, but as soon as that came out, it was like, ‘We gotta’ do that. Like we gotta’ do that!’ It’s like when you have an idea that makes everyone excited and nervous, and feels like, ‘Are we seriously going to do that?’ Then you know you have to do it… And it definitely has opened up a huge can of worms, and I have no idea how we’re going to address it.”
Is this kind of off the cuff plotting why these films can often feel unsatisfying? Is this really how to plot and -script a good film? "Hey, why don't we have monkeys explode out of Aunt Mays vanity case!" "Yeah! That rocks baby - it's in!"
Whizz-bang-wallop film making. They've taken our souls......
