Re: Marvel is announcing a sh..load of new movies OMG
Well that sucks. I understand Sony not wanting to budge, Far From Home is now their biggest movie ever. But personally I have zero interest in an isolated Spiderman movie, or some Venomverse Spiderman crap. And I have much less interest in the MCU going forward without Spidey. So it would be in both Marvel and Sony's best interest to get this worked out.
I'd be interested to hear what Tom Holland thinks about this.

Nah. Sony has shown they're shit when they have creative control. Venom did well bc avg fan was stupid enough to think it was an actual MCU movie, most likely. That gravy train won't continue. We'll have another spiderman reboot within 5 years with sony at the helm. Dumb.
I think the Holland shine will wear off real quick when he follows a script that isn't right for him and completely ignore his entire mythos in this iteration going forward

all the sony's spider-man movies did very well. They showed that they don't really need disney. And going from 5% to 50% is a shitty move by disney, while they already make all the money from merch.
I am also not the biggest fan of this new Spider-man, cause to me he looks like Iron-Man Jr. I loved him in Civil War. I think both of his solo movies are not that great, but just OK. Still better than the Amazing Spider-man, but not really as good as SM2 or even 1. I get it that some people don't agree, but that's just my opinion. I am also pretty sure they will make a new deal and by New Year SM will be back in the MCU, which needs him cause Phase 4 looks shit.

I do kind of chuckle at folks saying Sony is going to somehow lose money by going on its own. Even the crappiest Spider-Man movie grossed $700 million. It will be interesting to see how Venom 2 shapes up as far as the budget goes. Hiring Sekris seems like a good gamble. Still not expecting great writing.

No one is saying otherwise. That's why I said they'll reboot it.
From fans perspective it's stupid though because those Sony movies are total fraud shit. The Solo sony holland movies will do well but be made fun of hard core.
That's why I mentioned venom. It made a killing but it blew and had 70 yo woody harrleson as carnage roflrofl

Yes but ASM2 was pretty bad and it looked like the the series was going in the wrong direction. They spend so much money creating and advertising these movies that $700 million gross doesn't necessarily mean they make their money back.

It only really did badly in the states. That was the difference between the numbers for ASM and ASM2. The writing/rewriting in ASM2 was indeed terrible and no one was looking forward to the Sinister Seven they were planning. I think they probably learned some movie making lessons from Feige and budget ideas from Venom; enough to give them confidence to go ahead alone if they have to. It was going to be weird to have a Spidey/Venom movie while ignoring all the MCU stuff anyway. They got the Toms for two more movies. A solo movie for each, then Spidey/Venom and worry about the future after that. It's going to be very difficult to screw that up in basic money terms IMO.

I was just about to say the main MCU has a real dearth of young heroes if they lose Spider-Man. Lo and behold it leaks that Ms. Marvel is being developed for Disney+. Will be interesting if that revives the whole inhumans storyline from Agents of Shield or they go another direction. Terrigen has been in the ocean for five years (I guess ten after Endgame) so Kamala could just get the bad fish oil.

-Phase 4 looks fine tbh, their expanding on existing characters and adding new ones to the game. Phase 5 (starting in 2022) is shaping up to be crazy (BP 2, Captain Marvel 2, GOTG 3, Blade, Fantastic 4, New Avengers, and limited series' possibly based around Ms. Marvel and also War Machine)
-Really don't agree on the Raimi Trilogy. Bad acting and overall corniness hurt them. Only Spider man 2 is decent and that's because the Doc OC and Spider-Man fight scenes still hold up. I hold the Amazing Spiderman series in higher regard, the first one at least because Garfield and Stone acted circles around Franko and McGuire (Franko in particular, McGuire was stiff as a board) and better directed. Homecoming and FFH are the two best movies by far, though.

-Actively pissing off the fan base isn't good for business, tbh. Why do $800 million when they could do $1 Billion? That is losing money. The first two Holland movies did a combined 1.9 Billion.

That too, but going back to the table and renegotiating down is really the best option. The fans blame them and they have a famously sketchy track record with superhero movies.
It's better to have the MCU connection because of the shared characters that could appear in Spider-Man (Deadpool, Daredevil, King Pin, Fantastic 4, for example) than to start a viliian-verse with Morbius and Venom.

I don't blame them, though I do think negotiating would be a good idea.
It's great having Spidey in the MCU but he's completely dependent on his MCU connections here, which is ultimately a bit lame because half of the character's appeal is his having to figure out the superhero business on his own. We're missing a whole lot by his being Sticky Iron Man.

I don't think we are tbh, we've seen the Uncle Ben story line alot, we really don't need to see it again.
I think Spider-Man 3 was going to build upon the growth of his character and we would have gotten to see him grow into his own superhero.

The one criticism I have of the Rock is that he tends to play a different of himself in movies- The Rock has a hot daughter and ex wife and their is a big earthquake, The Rock's a lifeguard, the rock has a ten year old kid that he didn't know about, etc.
He's charismatic as hell though, also half Black and Half Samoan. He'll be 50 by the time BP 2 comes out, though they may want to go younger.

I agree. I thought it was a weird move after Portman disappeared from the movies. Having Waititi on board at least makes me think it will be entertaining. If they work in some of the cancer angle from the comics it could be much more than a girl power show.

I was very sad as that train scene ensued knowing it was likely the last time we get to see Fassbender's Magneto in action :( :( :( Fingers crossed they bring him back, because his presence in that role (ignoring shitty scripts) is just as great as Jackman's wolverine
I saw it recently too, it was ok, certainly better than the RT score and word of mouth but Fassbender really helped it from being a disaster. His Magneto really captures the complexity of character.
I like the idea of simply restarting the series for the MCU and keeping McAvoy and Fassbender, possibly even Sophie Turner for Professor X, Magneto and Jean Gray.
They apparently want to go in another direction, though.

Sophie Turner is not good IMO but the writing for these movies has been abysmal these last two outings. It will be sad to see Fassbinder go, and maybe Hoult save his fuzzy electric blue fur. McAvoy is OK; guess I'll have to think of another younger guy who might not look hilarious bald.

Turner was fine tbh, the writing failed her. Asking her to carry a movie in a franchise she basically just joined was already hard enough then the fact that they reshoot the final 30 minutes of movies because it was like Captain Marvel and the movie got laughed at in test screenings didn't help.
Didn't love beast, it looked Teen-Wolf like tbh. CGI might be best for Beast going forward instead of practical effects. I heard Will Smith might be up for Professor X if Feige decides to go with Black actors for Xavier and Magneto . I actually think he'd be great for that role.

Agreed....McAvoy started out equally amazing as Fassbender but Apocalypse and DP writing was so bland and blah I found myself laughing at every professor X line in the last two movies. I would have liked to have a legit crazy howling scream of angst from Magneto when he learned Mystique died, felt it woulda worked.
Fassbender just bleeds emotion. I re-watched the entire 2nd X series prior to DP and was dead inside at how amazing the first Magneto half of first class still is, and how well it still holds up. What could have been...

I didn't think Sophie was as bad as all the internet couch critics tried to say she was, I agree large part of it was the script.
I dug how they went a different emotional type of struggle, I did not mind them jamming Girl Power stuff in the subtext. If she had had better lines and gone a little more berserk and killed more cast members besides mystique, I think her character would have been fine.

I thought the X-Woman line was a bit much. They could've benefited from another movie in the series before Dark Phoenix like what was planned. Jean Gray only appearing in Apocalypse meant that the emotional stuff didn't hit as hard as it should've. The thing that made Woverine's death work was that there was 17 years and 8 movies behind it, 9 movies and 11 years for Iron Man.
Overall, she was fine given the situation. Didn't look bad either.

So Spiderman is back in the MCU
Lol we all knew they would eventually come to an arrangement
More hyping of the Spidey movies, smart marketing strategy

Marvel TV studio in doubt after Ghost Rider and New Warriors being cancelled. They can't compete with Marvel Studio's bigger budget TV series'
I don't even know why they are separate anymore; the TV division was always looked down upon by everyone at Disney. Marvel Studios can take on projects with smaller budgets. All depends on the project. Ghost Rider needs the money for effects -- AoS blew their budget rendering a halfway decent one -- so I'm glad Feige seems to be claiming that property. Something like The Punisher doesn't need that -- spending the same money as before on an 8-10 episode season would be just fine. Cloak and Dagger is already doing more with less if that comes back.

I really liked Ghost Rider in AOS
Hopefully they keep Luna for the titular role if GR happens

I liked him too, but I think they'll go with one of the motorcycle dudes, probably Johnny. Robbie has the most interesting story though.

Johnny Blaze
He made a brief appearance in in AOS
(Flashback scene where we see how Reyes got his powers)
