Yea ok but the last good live action Spider-Man film was in 2004for Sony . Everything else has been poor or decent. So it’s not backwards thinking it’s careful thinking. It’s not trusting a studio with your fav character when you already have dozens of times before and seen it fall flat on its face. So no I’m not going to be optimistic about this whole thing at all when I’ve seen with my own eyes what they can do.

Like going back to an ex after countless chances and they do one good thing and u trust them again. Sorry but no. Unless this Sony movie is really really good I’m absolutely convinced it will be another soulless cash grab like the asm franchise was. And I was hyped for those films.

Got nothing to do with mcu either. I wasn’t even a huge fan of it til spidey joined. But like someone else said before. It feels absolutely broken without him in it

That's not a good analogy. Filmmaking doesn't work like a relationship. It's a collaborative medium. Yes, Tom Rothman is not my favorite Hollywood guy, but it's not like Sony never puts out a good movie. They do. For example Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was Sony in part. Much of what makes a movie work is who you hire. Sony sometimes squandered talent in the past, sure. But every studio also does to be fair. Disney has put out some bad movies too.

We aren’t talking about other movies we are talking about how they handle Spider-Man tho. We have been burnt out several times. 3, asm asm2 so I mean yea it is a good analogy. Cause we trusted Sony with the franchise and look what happened. Now I mean we can hope it’s going to get better but idk tbh

Not trying to argue btw. So if I come off as hostile I’m not trying to be .

Where your analogy does not hold water is the fact that the people who worked on the different Spider-Man movies changes all the time. Very few people still work at Sony who worked on the original Sam Raimi movies and those people who work in the on the Marc Webb movies are largely gone as well. They change the studio heads they change creative direction. Despite what the government may say, corporations are not people. So all the Spider-Man movies are made by vastly different groups of people therefore it's not like a relationship at all. It's closer to going to a place like Walmart having a bad experience at one Walmart and then holding all Walmarts accountable for one Walmart mistake.

It seems like after sm3 it was run by the same guys and they almost ruined the brand
 
I just want a good Spider-Man movie and I couldn't care less about how that is achieved. I saw Hellboy over the weekend and that movie is a disgrace. Two hours of my life that I can't get back. I don't care who the studio is or who made it all I know is the movie was trash.
 
It would be like if DC didn't own Batman or Superman. Its unthinkable. Tbh I would have rather seen Marvel Studios go bankrupt than having to deal with all this back and forth rights ****. Wish Marvel never sold the license. Even if it did keep them a float. The MCU will never feel whole as long as Spidey isn't part of it. They can try all they want to fill the gap with other characters but it will never fill the hole left behind. Even with the rights sharing deal you could tell they were held back by what they wanted to do.

Strangely enough, an argument could be made that if Marvel had never sold the rights to their most popular characters then they would not be as successful as they are now. You compared Marvel not having Spider-Man to Warners not having Batman and Superman but you neglect to acknowledge the irony that Marvel managed to be more successful than DC(which has all their characters) just by working with characters who were far less known. Case in point: we now live in a world where the first ever Justice League film with Batman and Superman, and Wonder Woman failed to out-gross two movies about a tree and a talking raccoon & movie about Black Panther is, as of now, the most successful solo superhero film of all time ahead of movies about the A-list juggernauts like Superman and Batman.

Marvel was able to keep the superhero genre fresh by introducing audiences to new characters like Guardians and BP that have become more popular than even their one time more popular Marvel brethern like X-Men and Fantastic Four. Black Panther alone still made more money than any Spider-Man and X-Men film ever did. Unlike Warners, which they always had Bats and Superman to fall back on; Marvel, in contrast, never had that safety net, which then required them to work harder on making the best movies out of their lesser known characters. As they say, "Necessity is the mother of invention,” so Marvel had to work with the leftover scraps and turn it into gold -- which turned out to be the best case scenario, Marvel gave us movies about Doctor Strange, Avengers, and Gaurdians -- shining the spotlight on their B or C list characters and diversifying the genre. Frankly, this makes me thankful Marvel didn’t have access to their big characters or else all they would be making is X-Men & Spider-Man movies akin to how pre-MCU the only superhero things that Warners had any fortitude to make was pretty much Batman and Superman movies and nothing else. As a DC fan, I have to thank Marvel because if it wasn't for them then WW, Aquaman, and Shazam movies probably would never get made, and Warners never would have learned that all so valuable lesson that you can indeed have DC characters not named Batman and Superman be successful. In fact, I'm so envious of Marvel's success that I almost wish DC had done the same thing and licensed their A-list characters to various studios so they can follow a similar trajectory to Marvel that lead to the creation of their own film division.

Not to mention if Feige didn’t gain the experience from working on the pre-MCU Marvel films like the early X-Men and Spider-Man films then Marvel Studios wouldn’t be so consistent in quality that they are now. Feige learned from the mistakes made on those pre-MCU previous movies and applied the lessons learned from his experience making those movies to the MCU movies. This is a large reason why Marvel continues to have an impressive streak of quality that no other studio has yet to match.

Face it: Marvel selling off their big properties to other studios was one of the best things to ever happen in the genre. What appeared to be a disadvantage turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Marvel would never even bother to have made a Guardians film if they had characters like Wolverine from the start. By the way, the success Sony had with Spider-Man along with Fox's success with the X-Men franchise is what prompted Marvel to start making films in the first place. So while I'm bummed Spidey won't be able to tag along with his fellow Marvel brethern(for now anyway) this won't make me wish that Spider-Man was never sold off because it really benefited Marvel in the long run as well as the entire genre(Spider-Man 2 & Into the Spider-Verse also would've never have been made had Spidey not been sold off).

I don't like Marvel Studios Spider-Man but I don't have much confidence in Sony either and regardless, the next movie very likely will be a continuation of some sort.

Sony would have to get a really good director and/or writer, as well as a villain and story that sounded good, for me to be interested.

Completely agree. I didn't support Venom. And won't be supporting a FFH sequel without Marvel Studios involvement. Hes a marvel character through and through. And deserves to take his rightful place in the MCU.

His role in it so far was mostly being comic relief and the incompetent one and that probably would have continued if he had stayed in it.

Edit:

We have been burnt out several times. 3, asm asm2 so I mean yea it is a good analogy. Cause we trusted Sony with the franchise and look what happened.

I think a lot of people think SM3 and either TASM or TASM2 were, while flawed, decent rather than poor so there's a lot of likelihood their next will be OK rather than a disaster.

I certainly wouldn't dismiss it. I'm there to be wowed, surprised, or disappointed.
 
If it's good I'll be there if not eh peace.

But don't let people bully y'all into supporting this. You're paying customers you're allowed to be petty I support y'all lmao
 
Of course I will, I just hope its good.

Don't see the point in dismissing or vetoing it simply because it isn't being made by Marvel.

No one is bullying anyone. I don't care what people do with their money, but this is a forum for discussion. So if you say something I disagree with, prepare to defend your viewpoint. When I post, I am always prepared to defend myself.

Except Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are still there. They haven't actually got rid of the main problem.

And while Rothman is new, his track record is terrible as well.

These are facts I do not dispute

I know no one is bullying anyone I was joking lol.
 
New to the forum just reread so me posts!! Agreed marvel had to work harder with less known characters and went thru the roof!! I want spidey back with marvel because Sony only had to concentrate on 1 superior character and couldn’t do it justice!! Marvel proved they know best for their characters!! Nuff. Said
 
I want to see a Spiderman 4 with Tobey Maguire. it would be a dream come true if Disney buys Spiderman we will not get a 4th movie and Tobey Spiderman will be only be used in cameos in the MCU if a 4th movie with Tobey doesnt happen at least im interested in seeing a new version of Spiderman apart from Tom Holland version with an Adult Peter Parker something similar like DC did with The Batman being separated with the DCEU
