Marvel’s attempt to push their “woke” agenda with the latest flop, “Madame Web,” has landed them in hot water once again. The film, which was hyped as a groundbreaking addition to the cinematic universe, fell flat on its face at the box office, raking in a meager $15.3 million during its opening weekend. With an estimated budget of $80 million, it’s safe to say that the studio’s dreams of hitting it big with this feminist superhero flick have been dashed.
? JUST IN: Marvel’s WOKE Spiderman spin-off ‘Madame Web’ FLOPS BADLY on debut weekend, receiving abyssal ticket sales and mere 13% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Not only did “Madame Web” fail to impress at the box office, but critics and audiences alike have panned the film with scathing reviews. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a pitiful 13% approval rating, making it even worse than Sony’s previous fiasco, “Morbius,” which managed to squeak out a 15% rating. Ouch! And if that wasn’t enough, moviegoers handed the film a lackluster C+ CinemaScore rating, indicating that its prospects for a turnaround are as bleak as ever.
In a hilarious turn of events, social media is erupting with memes and jabs at the movie, with audiences poking fun at the film’s shortcomings. From mocking the recycled shots from “Spider-Man 2” to sarcastically sharing their “experience” watching the film, it’s clear that “Madame Web” has become the laughing stock of the cinema world.
It appears that the grand experiment to embrace the “woke” culture has backfired once again, as audiences have spoken with their wallets, opting for other, more appealing options at the box office. The message is loud and clear: viewers are tired of being force-fed a political agenda instead of being entertained. As Marvel and Sony lick their wounds from this latest disaster, it’s high time for them to reevaluate their strategy and focus on delivering quality content that audiences actually want to see.
