    Is Spiderman's isolation in No way home a reflection of the isolation the world felt during quarantine? If so that is quite subtle.

    Haven't seen it but if it is (and it's not just one reading), wouldn't that be an obvious borrowing? Films frequently (and often necessarily) filch from life to help audiences 'recognise' what they are watching. Some writers regard themselves as precocious allegorists.

    lol, I'm not certain if I'm not just reading that into it, which is why I posted it here. I wouldn't say I'm impressed by it but I don't share your disdain.

    Wasn't going for disdainful, more like incisive social comment... :razz:
