verdict (2)

  1. verdict (verdict): Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse → Aquaman. Coming off Aquaman, the speaker doesn't want to overpraise Spider-Verse because the bar feels lowered.
    “coming off of Aquaman, I'm kind of like, whoa, yeah, you know, the bar's lowering”

  2. verdict (verdict): Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse → Aquaman. Aquaman made the speaker dread a sequel; Spider-Verse made him curious about where the story goes.
    “unlike Aquaman, which as soon as the movie ended, I was like, I can't believe I have to go do this again 2 years from now”
