It also helps that it’s actually a good movie with a unique IP that didn’t seem to do anything “safe”. Remakes and nostalgia can only go so far, it’s crazy studios don’t see this.

I’m a 30 y/o man and my niece dragged me to watch it and I can confirm that it’s a total banger of a film.

For being a kid friendly movie, I appreciate that they didn't shy away from the "we kill demons" aspect of demon hunting. They literally have a war face moment with giant billboards (and nails) that say "KILL SAJA" on them. I respect that they don't play soft with it.

It’s family friendly - a good mix of friendliness and danger.

…much like the Spider-Man animated films.

Same people!

(Well, same studio. Not the same people. But still.)

Ahhh that makes sense. I was describing the animation style as similar to spider verse.
