What was your reaction when Spider-Man ‘died’?

Mostly As. You are a paid-up fanboy. We’d suggest broadening your horizons but you’re probably too busy telling people Suicide Squad is a misunderstood work of genius.
Mostly Bs. You have a discerning take on superhero movies but tough shit, you’ll end up watching them all anyway.
