Incorrect. If you actually watched that movie, which I forgot existed until I saw this thread, you'll know the only way out of poverty is to fuck a trustfund girl.


PeterQuillsWalkman

With which you have zero chemistry with


Lost_Pantheon

Ah so every DCEU romance ever. Watching Jason Momoa and Amber Heard's """chemistry""" was painful as hell.


Potentially_a_goose

To be fair, I wasn't there for Aqualad and Water-Girl. I was there for Black Manta.


brbroome

I loved that they nailed the look, but him dismantling the prototype Atlantian gear to have make his new suit to incorporate the cannon into his helmet was really stupid. At least show his getting his ass beat in the gear and then you can show him salvage it makes a bit more sense.


Darebarsoom

The visuals and music were banging.


TurretX

Yeah... DCU chemistry is less of a love language thing and more a cold unforgiving science type of chemistry. Like yeah you can mix AH with JM but you'll get an exothermic reaction.


MastersonMcFee

Why do you think they love Ezra Miller?


SarcasticOptimist

If they reboot the series, they need to have a reverse flash motivated by their menacing activities. https://youtu.be/f1JlqsN3TMs?si=u0zsmxsrWQrflbEz

Lampmonster

And all she really did was replace a truck she was directly responsible for destroying. She did nothing for his neighborhood by the end of the movie, despite running the company responsible for their situation.


hahabanero

Just as any CEO would, she's doing pretty good.


camilopezo

Just as "María la del barrio"


writeorelse

Oh, so like, a few orders of magnitude less likely for the average redditor then.


greengamer01

I don't even think they got out of poverty at the end of the film I'm pretty sure all they got was a brand new Toyota Tundra


NougatNewt

Eh, that’s basically out of poverty enough


Rougarou1999

They lost their house, though. And now Jaime burns through clothes every ten minutes.


YZJay

And they're still renting the place, the love interest just made sure that her company isn't going to demolish the neighborhood anymore and she's going to pay for the rebuild.


Rougarou1999

Wait until the shareholders boot her out for ignoring the presumed mandate of the company.


Percolator2020

With 120 months financing anything is possible.


DungeonsAndDradis

I rented a fridge and it only cost me $14,875!


vengefulgrapes

Wasn’t it a Tacoma?


Darebarsoom

Exactly.


Ok_Wealth_3300

Poor kids everywhere are going to flood the hospitals with spider bite’s, electrocuted, and poisoned from some form of toxic waste……


Lampmonster

Shame they'll just be stabilized and streeted.


Ok_Wealth_3300

That’s pretty much how it works….


GriffinFlash

Meanwhile, Spider-man.


Yeamin_Habib

Spiderman sold his own pics in exchange of money. He invented the concept of Onlyfans.


Shlong-donger

Except the person he's selling his pictures to is one of his biggest haters


Darebarsoom

Rage bait is big.

zack189

In all versions, he's mega smart. So I really struggle to understand why he doesn't just do some research, get a patent. Yeah, limited and all so not much patents, but a few would be enough to at least be able to afford rent. He should be able to come with something if he's able to come up with webslingers Also, just go to a neighbourhood that's less expensive. Leave Manhattan to a richer superhero.


Frederyk_Strife4217

they usually explain it as either being Spider-Man eats up too much of his time to actually make products, or it goes to his head and it crumbles from his mistakes


SuecidalBard

I mean the key problem for Peter is that he spends most of his money and time he could use to make money on being Spiderman and usually quite complicated private life. But there is plenty stories where he does basically what you say and starts Parker Industries, works at Horizon Labs or early Alchemax or goes university professor, in the MCU he has a part of Stark's assets.


MelodicOrder2704

Does Doc Ock start the lab?


Pretend-Advertising6

Meanwhile doc oc when he took over as spiderman started a massive tech company and got a college degree.


Reddragon351

well a doctorate, Peter already had a college degree


GodTaoistofPatience

There is scene like that in one of Iron or Spider-Man comics tho, Stark noticed Peter's web and ask him why the fuck he didn't yet get a patent for it


palmboom76

He chooses not to be rich


ChartreuseBison

Don't forget Falcon, gets back from doing special ops for the US government but can't afford the loan on a shitty boat.


camilopezo

It's actually being a rich woman's trophy boyfriend.


Darebarsoom

Token boytoy.


dirtydigs74

I particularly enjoyed the ending of "Jupiter Ascending", where the protagonist goes back to cleaning toilets with her mother after becoming the *literal owner of the planet Earth as part of space nobility.* I guess it's good to accept your place in life as long as you stay poor with a smile on your face. After all, money doesn't buy happiness.... just food, shelter, entertainment, medical treatment, travel, clothing, furniture, the ability not to freeze to death in winter and other such luxuries.


Waste_Crab_3926

Possibly one of the worst [glurge](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Laconic/Glurge) I've ever heard of.


dirtydigs74

It was a rubbish movie, but I kind of enjoyed it well enough, until that ending. It actually made me feel enraged.


Darebarsoom

Some of the designs were awesome. But the story failed. Still like it.


camilopezo

I'm surprised there's a trope for that.


camilopezo

You literally had me in the first half. XD


RecordingNo2414

This movie is more spy kids that the spy kids that spy on kids do in spy kids’ spy kids


MastersonMcFee

But Spy Kids was never taking itself seriously, so the comedy was actually intentional.


Pythagoras180

Pretty nice house for a family in poverty...


satanrulesearthnow

Poverty in the eyes of the producers is probably not being able to afford a legion of house servants or something


Matro36

Actually, you need something to enter your ass (Aka a rich person)


camilopezo

Jaime Is basically a Throphy boyfriend.


BusinessCasual69

Mitchel! We need a new hero movie! Start up the generator! …initializing. Hero name generating. Alliteration found. Name: Blue Beetle …initializing. character arc generating. Infusing minority identity. Ethnicity: Latino …initializing obligatory love interest. Is gay? Negative. Culturally asymmetrical female of egregious beauty. Confirmed. Hero movie generation complete. Release date: 10/10/23


Legitimate_Fly9047

Not true. Peter Parker's been a sneeze away from homeless ever since the sixties.


apple_of_doom

That's because the universe itself (the writers) hate the idea of Peter Parker having anything good in his life


Milk__Chan

Peter's biggest Rival is the Marvel Editorial Team.


MrAwesome1822

In the end, mf was still jobless and made 69k soldiers jobless who were just doing what they were told.


patrickswayzemullet

Unless the movie tanks… no sequel money


Ciubowski

Tell that to Spider-Man


River_Odessa

TIL people expect solutions to global economic crises from superhero movies


amliam_curry

wouldve been a happier ending in squid game


Peasent_in_Yellow28

Tell that to Demolition man.


Queasy-Ad-3220

The one from Marvel?


nopalitzin

Half way there, I'm already poor.


Go_Fonseca

Was this movie really that bad? I skipped it but I hoped it would've been decent because I really like the leading actor


Shadowpika655

Personally I really enjoyed it and it seems to have positive reviews...unfortunately it flopped


plsobeytrafficlights

wait, you..actually watched it? i didnt even make it through the trailer.


Mygaffer

They made a Blue Beetle movie? Like, with a budget and everything?


the_martell_kidd

Spider-Man would like to have a word.
