True spiderman fans only fukk with Spiderman 2 and the MCU spiderman. This shyt will flop at the hands of Sony. No avid comic book reader is jumping on board to have Sony producers fukk up their project with rushed delivery like they did to Raimi.

Avid comic book readers got priced out of the market a long time ago. The moment people started calling raimi spider man the best despite being a massive departure from the character, and well as iron Man depicting Tony stark as this humbled good philanthropist, the fix was in.

If I own the most valuable car it may be my only one and the biggest seller in the world can't live without it

Should I keep a steady payment (worth billions) in my favor forever or be outta biz in a year?


Depends

Sometimes losing or dropping the best thing you have forces you to get out your comfort zone and try something new and untested that could be successful and save your company:lolbron:


Ala like Netflix dropping Marvel shows and now banking on their own comic book shows that some people are claiming (or now trynna pretend to troll and out of spite) is better like that Umbrella Academy show:mjgrin:

Go head Sony:troll:

Sell Spider-Man back:lolbron:

Trust in themselves and BET on themselves:mjlol:

Raimi's departure from spiderman is in comparison to Tim Burton's departure from batman comics. Tony Starks wasn't too far off from the comics but then again, I never really read Ironman comics.

Them people care more about the money than the actual product itself which is why it will failed. FOX went down that path as well.

EXCLUSIVE: As the dust settles on the Disney/Marvel and Kevin Feige exit from the Sony’s Spider-Man franchise, the next looming tug of war might well be over director Jon Watts, who catapulted from the small budget Sundance film Cop Car to the A-list helmer of the $880 million grosserSpider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home, which just surpassed the 007 film Skyfall to become Sony’s highest ever grossing film at $1.11 billion.

I’m told that Watts was only bound to the Spidey franchise as director for those two pictures and that it’s no certainty he will be back to direct Tom Holland in the third installment being written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. They wrote the record breaker Spider-Man: Far From Home.

I’m told he’s being courted by Marvel. It is understandable that Marvel and Feige would want to keep things going with Watts: Feige has a strong track record of helping to change the career trajectory of filmmakers who wouldn’t have been automatic choices for mega-budget superhero films, from Joe & Anthony Russo to Taika Waititi, James Gunn and Scott Derrickson. As for one-upsmanship, there are bruised feelings between those studios over the Rashomon-like press narratives that followed Deadline’s scoop, over who did what in dismantling a brilliantly orchestrated introduction of a hit superhero franchise. It has gotten so bad that some wonder if it would even be possible for them to rethink things and come to terms on Spider-Man.

On those talks that Deadline revealed Tuesday: I continue to hear from reliable sources that the notion Feige was too busy to do more Spider-Man films just doesn’t hold water; he loves the character and the way those movies served the fans and the Marvel Universe. I continue to hear that Disney asked for a 25% stake where it would finance that much of the movie and receive that much of the equity upside. This arrangement would only have been for any pictures that involved Marvel & Feige. It wasn’t a forever deal, like the time one Sony made years ago to continue as distributor of James Bond. Back then, Sony cut MGM into a co-financing relationship on the pictures The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and 21 Jump Street, that gave MGM rights to co-finance future installments. The Spider-Man deal was only for pictures where Marvel lent Feige and the weight of its brand and cross pollination in Marvel movies. Still, it was a big ask of Sony, which had been getting a relative bargain at 5% of first dollar gross. That 25% offer sat for months, and finally Disney raised the ask to the 50% co-fi stake, likely knowing a divorce was coming.

Random thoughts I meant to post yesterday:

The first Raimi Spider-Man was :ld:

The 2nd was :krs:

The 3rd was :trash:

"ASM" 1&2 were both :ld:

"Spider-Verse" was ::krs:

"Homecoming" was....there is no smilie really. Vulture was dope. The movie wasn't :ld: but it wasn't really :krs: either. It was cool.

And I haven't seen "Far From Home".

Anyway, this is a long winded way of saying people need to cut the bullshyt out on both sides of the argument. Cats are in here talking like Sony's track record with the character is "TDK" level....pure lunacy. And MCU heads....unless "Far From Home" is some next level shyt Marvel hasn't really lived up to the character yet, either.

Having said all that, I'd rather him wind up with Marvel just based on the potential. Sony has had the character damn near 20 years and frankly I'm not blown away by what they've done with him.

Oh and "Venom" was ok. shyt was kinda corny, honestly. It had Eminem on the soundtrack in 2018, for Christ sake. If :flabbynsick: Eminem would've had a song on the....I dunno, "Endgame" or "Captain Marvel" soundtrack motherfukkers would've had a field day.
