Homecoming What If Marvel's Spider-Man turns out to be ****

[Spidey-Lad93]

What then?

 

[Ghostcrow13]

Blame Sony's involvement

 

[harryoscop]

I'll still blame Arad! (even if he's gone)

 

[Ghostcrow13]

Honestly though, I can't picture it happening because Marvel and Feige would do there all to make the best Spidey film.

However if it is bad, then I think they carry on, I think Marvel has at least earned that. 2 bads film and we will just have to mourn for Spiderman

 

[GR8GODZILLAGOD]

I can't imagine that happening.

 

[Flint Marko]

I'd bet everything I own on the fact that if Marvel were able to make a Spider-man movie it'd be far and away the best take on the character we'd ever see. I don't care how you feel about Marvel and how they do things, that is almost a fact.

I love The MCU the point is people say give the rights back to Marvel and what would those people do if we end up disappointed in Marvels take

Since I'm already disappointed with Sony's take, I've got nothing to lose.

Not sure why one question needed its own thread.

It's just such an unlikely thing to happen for me to imagine though. It's like asking me what if a unicorn ran into my room and kicked me in the nuts. I've no answer to that.

I gotcha, you're just considering all possibilities
I think it's safe to say that all but a few people here would agree Marvel's take on the character would be the best we've ever seen.
Now hypothetically speaking let's consider what you are saying and pretend that it turns out to be lackluster - even then I'd rather have a bad Spider-man movie connected to the MCU than a bad Spider-man movie not connected to the MCU, which we have been getting/would be getting from Sony.

 

[DigificWriter]

Marvel Studios can apparently do no wrong, so I guarantee that even if a hypothetical MCU Spidey movie turned out to be absolute horse-crap, people would say "it's not as bad as it seems" just because it's an MCU movie.

I've liked the MCU films so far, but the trend it started and the opinions it has generated have been bugging me for a while now, and this Sony situation is the last straw.

Neither Marvel nor Sony need one another, and the current Spider-Man production team doesn't deserve to be shat upon like they might be if this whole Sony/Marvel Studios deal goes through.

 

[wampa1]

Having sat through the last two movies, yes, they do.

[OriginalMiles]

...you couldn't have asked this question in the GD thread? It doesn't need to be it's own thing.

Anyway, if it turns out to be ****... well the world would implode.

 

[TheWallCrawler]

I don't know why this would even be a topic. Before any information comes out about it, it might as well be a masterpiece. if it's not, we'll deal with the disappointment after the opening night

 

[The Infernal]

I'm struggling to see what part of running the franchise into the ground, getting rid of the lead actor (arguably their biggest strength) and demonstrate no clear plan or clue how to handle Spider-man or the series going forward that's so defensible.

What I'd like to know is whether Feige had any input on the first two Raimi Spider-Man movies as an EP. Because they are night and day above anything produced once he took over duties full-time as president of Marvel Studios.

 

[Airnick]

I'll blame Sony's involvement, and cry on the inside.

 

[The Infernal]

In all probability a Marvel solo Spider-man could fail. Just like any other possible MCU film. Not all of them are of the same quality. However overall the MCU has had a better time of it adapting the characters and there is a larger franchise in place now. There is a sort of safety net that comes with that.

I'm sorry… have you not been to the Thor: TDW, IM3 threads? Heck, the Captain America: Civil War forums have at times threatened to start their own civil war about the direction of a movie that's not even gone into production yet.

And don't get me started on the casting (official and rumors) so far with Doctor Strange. That movie's likely to be pretty polarizing.

And Ant-Man…. and everything Marvel's got its share of detractors and critics as well as devoted followers. And they all post on these message boards.

Respectfully, I disagree, though I've stated my opinions elsewhere.

Unless you're one of the few fans left who have no problems with the direction the franchise is going under Sony, of course, then I understand your issues with the deal.

Given the audience attrition for Spidey movies since TASM and the lack of vision for the franchise by Sony, they absolutely need someone to step in and assist. The return of grosses did not meet their expectations for the movie.

Something drastic has to happen.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I really can't see it happening. Marvel is bringing in some of the best actors/actresses around. They'll get a top notch director. They also have some of the best writers around. I just can't see it being ****.

 

[OriginalMiles]

Also, by the time the solo movie comes out, the audience won't have seen Spidey for a while...

 

[BatsDC]

I personally will go and take a dump on Avi Arad's lawn, not because he'd have anything to do with it, but for personal satisfaction after a major disappointment.

I'd say that the safety net is more that Marvel/Disney is not as desperate as Sony to keep up with the top competitor since they are the top competitor, so their decision making seems to be much more sensible. also, they'll give the director more creative freedom. which I admit, wasn't that great for IM3, but the dud/cinematic gold ratio is at least much better in our favor

If you see this car parked outside. It means Sam Raimi already beat you to it.
