Again, his estimates weren't hurting anything other than personal credibility.
 
Nobody said they were hurting anyone. But the estimates themselves were laughable. Pure fanboy wishes. That's what people are laughing at. Even back then before the movie was released they looked laughable. The person in question was also a troll of the highest order who ripped into anyone, myself included, who did not view everything about this movie with optimism.

So don't expect us to feel bad for looking back at this stain on the forum and his ridiculous predictions with derision. It was happy days when he finally got banned. He didn't even make it to the movie's release. Which is a shame because I'd love to have seen his reaction to his predictions falling so far off the mark.

Well with movies like Transformers and Pirates being commercially successful despite poor to mixed reviews, it wasn't technically out of the realm of possibilities.

But, I find them to be the exception and not the rule.

Weisman said Marvel acquired all the television rights.

It was when he asked the mods to ban all negativity from the general discussion thread, I stopped taking him seriously.:lmao:

Although I wasn't a member of the Hype at the time, I still remember how it went down :funny: wasn't he a previously banned user that returned with a new account?

I'm going to have to take the word of a producer who's worked with both companies over yours on this matter.

It's not 'my' word. Sony own the rights to ALL live action Spider-Man. We'll see if Spider-Man cameos in any of the Netflix shows much less star in his own Marvel TV show.

Marvel or Sony, I don't really care. I want to see Spider-Man going up against a villain that gives a performance that rivals Joker in TDK or the bad guy in No Country for Old Men. Ledger had make-up but no visual effects.

That won't happen...there is only about four villains in the Spidey gallery that can really come close to being memorable....and three of them has been used, two of which have been ruin....which just so happen to be my favorite two. HobGoblin is the only villain remaining unspoiled.

Now, please don't get be wrong...with good writing and a real, true, mature, motivation, and tone of character, can just about make any character memorable; but I have lost complete confidence that any of Spidey's villains would ever be memorably done. Even if it was done by Marvel's writers....Marvel, imo, is only 5 of 9, batting just over .500.

:dry:

Exactly....as soon as Sony let Fox reveal the character would get angry at his mom because she forgot his birthday(even though the scene was deleted), was revealing enough, the mindset of their approach to the so-called "Main Villain"
; I personally didn't think it would make more than $580mil, specifically. That was my prediction....that it wouldn't reach $600mil. Don't fool yourself...it was "ALL" about Gwen's death....which was a horrible approach in the first place, and has Avi written all over it. He's going to burn up all the iconic Spidey stories, if this guy is not stopped.

There are no bad characters just bad writers. You can take a boring character and turn that character into a complex and compelling character with good writing.

I've said that. :whatever:

Yeah, If Marvel gets Spidey in the MCU, and they announce a Netflix series instead of a movie, I'll suicide right then, and there.
 
I don't think any Spider-Man villain will ever give an on par performance to what we saw with Heath. He was the only comic book movie villain that had me leaving the theatre with goosebumps. That doesn't mean they don't have the potential to, I just don't see it happening. Venom, or the Green Goblin (done at their absolute maximum potential) are the only ones who could ever have me leaving the theatre with that feeling.

I still think he's worth too much to be in a TV series. Not to mention Sony wouldn't go for that deal. They want Marvel making billion dollar movies with him and taking their cut of the pie.
 
Would love Spider-Man live action TV. The 70's show was so so. Spider-Man every week. Yes please.
 
In think it'd be cool if they made a miniseries between movies, adapting stories like the Venom saga and the mob stories that would be less likely to be adapted otherwise. 3/4 episode stories.
 
The summit, I want to know what day it is. The day we get the announcement of what's going on will be the day these boards explode. Hopefully the "Amazing Spider-Man 3" thread will die at last, or be closed entirely.
 
Regardless what happens at the summit, it'll be an internal thing and not immediately announced. And even then, they won't have a movie, cast, director etc. ready to announce for months, so it really wouldn't be anything beyond 'Marvel Studios gets Spider-Man in joint deal' until later in 2015.

Someone posted on this forum a week or so ago that it was on January 19th, but I am not sure if that is just based on rumors or if it has been confirmed.

Heck, Marvel getting back creative control of Spider-man to use in their MCU and in Solo films with the cooperation of Sony Pictures is all I need to hear. I can wait to hear about casting and director's and all that stuff, because I trust in Marvel to do what's best for the character.

Film goers just don't have a good taste any more.

The country is in a recession. So they would rather see GOTG.

Women are out working nights.

People are afraid of a theater shooting.

People are scared of Ebola/Isis.

The movie is too good to see without a replay button handy. Thus they are waiting on the Blu-Ray.

Raimi fanboys have kidnapped everybody.

Kevin Feige has kidnapped everybody.

Disney has paid theaters to not show its true gross.

Marc Webb has friendzoned all the women in the world, they are retaliating by not going to see his masterpiece.

Andrew Garfield " " " "

Emma Stone is too good looking for all the males to sit civilly in the theater and not to start pleasuring themselves in front of their gf's.
