Yeah. That's more accurate. Was using "villain" as a stand in word for just "bad person," but pervert is clearer lol. Either way, it's always fun to see characters casually dunking on Laios's personality.

Yeah. I had the same reaction. I honestly think this is one of the greate 2/3rds of a movie of all time. But, it irks me that it only feels like 2/3rds of 1 movie rather than the 1st part to a 2 parter. I can get over it though and it doesn't ruin the movie for me, just makes it much worse than it could've been. Technically Gwen's subplot sort of got closure, but Miles was too much of a focus for it to feel like a satisfying mini arc to close on, especially when they still left the cliff hanger on Miles (and I loved Gwen's arc). Felt like the second to last episode in a TV series rather than a movie like that.
That said, it is my headcanon that they had to do this in negotiation with the studio to keep from making the Spiderverse into another cinematic universe or something. They already had the plot and story written, but had to split it into two parts because of Sony and this was the best point for them to do so while still having enough to work with for a third movie. I don't have any real basis for this, but it makes sense to me.
It's like a customized buffet at your table.
Accelerator already touched on the side dish/main dish concept being not really a thing for the most part. That being said it is important to note, that traditionally fried rice is basically a leftovers only dish. Like you wouldn't cook fried rice to cook fried rice. You'd cook fried rice because you had leftover steamed rice from the other night (and you'd use other leftover ingredients too). So, I suppose in a lot of those instances you'd only be eating fried rice, thus making it a main course by technicality (though it doesn't have to be).

No one has mentioned them here yet, but I'm really excited for Payday 3 to come out. Especially with how well they've supported Payday 2 throughout the years. I'm also hoping they bring back Overdrill so I can go for it this time around.
On a more indie scale, I've been waiting for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk to release since I finished playing Jet Set Radio Future.
I love how so many of them believe in Laios being a capable king, and yet Laios still ended up depicted as a villain when the orcs were talking about him.
Also, Izutsumi is truly one of the most cat cat-girls I have ever read about. And her character progression has been incredible.
Ah, another Joey user. It looks as though all 2-10 of us have moved to Lemmy. Incredible.
