Homecoming Which Sony elements/influences should be retained for this movie

[TheLastBlade]

For everything else, use the comics.

Can you use the word "good" in that sentence? Because Spiderman comics have sucked in the last few decades.

Most comics tend to suck nowadays.

No argument there.

And it isn't because we're older and jaded because every now and then a comic comes out that knocks it out of the park.

What I liked about ASM1 is the world seemed 'real' and then they plonked something fantastical right in the middle of it. A great juxtaposition. In ASM2, Spider-Man and the world he lived in looked and felt of the same thing. I think I prefer the former's tone.

Other than some of the visual effects, I'd rather not see Avi Arad's influence on this film.

At the very least I want something like what Raimi did. TASM2 just make a goofy world with a Spider-Man in it.

Other than some of the visual effects, I'd rather not see Avi Arad's influence on this film.

Now that he is an executive producer he probably won't have much of an influence on this film.

Few decades? How many decades are you talking here? The 90's and even the 2000's I can understand, but not the decades before that.

 

[Loki882]

I'd argue that the main Spider-Man book(s) have sucked basically since around Sins Past. The satellite books, Scarlet Spider, Venom, Superior Foes, Ultimate Spider-Man, and currently Spider-Woman, have been SO MUCH better.

It seems pretty obvious that Arad and Tolmach are only being credited as EPs because they have to be.

It seems pretty obvious that Arad and Tolmach are only being credited as EPs because they have to be.

I remember in the leaked e-mails, Amy Pascal said they can't give up Avi Arad. I assume giving them EP credits is a small compromise. They are still technically a part of the reboot by name but they have no real creative control. I guess they will still get a paycheck out of it as well.

There are good and bad comics now as there are in every era.

 

[DigificWriter]

I'm personally inclined to think that this is a Kaz and Fran Kuzui situation where Arad and Tolmach will be credited as being involved with the film but not actually have anything to do with it.

We'll see, though.

I don't think Feige would have agreed to this deal if Avi and Matt would have any significant involvement in the film. We'll never know I guess.

Sadly, this is not a lie.

Oh yeah, I remember reading Spidey comics in the 90s for the first time and even then I didn't like them.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

The only good Spider-Man comics have been in the 90s-2000s-2010s are

A) Ultimate Spider-Man (most of it)

B) Mark Waid's Spider-Man Family Business graphic novel

 

[Spider2099]

There's more stuff from the 90s I enjoy but I can't think of it at the moment.

Yes, he can.

Most comics tend to suck nowadays.

Not at all.

There are good and bad comics now as there are in every era.

Very true.

The only good Spider-Man comics have been in the 90s-2000s-2010s are

A) Ultimate Spider-Man (most of it)

B) Mark Waid's Spider-Man Family Business graphic novel

And "The Gauntlet", "Big Time", "Ends of the Earth", The Superior Spider-Man, "Spider-Verse", etc.

The 90's almost killed the industry. It's hard to express in words how much better comics have been since then.

To put it simply. Nothing.

Why would Marvel do that? It would make people believe it's still part of the previous continuity. It's not like Sally Field had such a brilliant and iconic performance as May either. There are many other actresses who could play the part. Marvel have the chance to even cast someone as big as Meryl Streep in the role. There's no way you could tell me her performance couldn't match Field's.

In other words, don't be part of the MCU?

her acting, and her portryal of may parker way league tons better than the raimi lady.

But it's not like Sally Field and Rosemary Harris are the only two possible candidates out there who can play May and that the pool is so small.

That would be like saying that Spider-Man should continue going it alone with Sony because it was way better than the Nicholas Hammond version from the 1970s.
