If Spider-Man comes back to Marvel you can say goodbye to Captain Marvel and Black Panther.

I'm assuming he's suggesting that they'd make room in their schedule for a movie that is guaranteed to make them a bajillion dollars, rather than portions of a bajillion. "Spider-man, back in Marvel's capable hands! The people who brought you THE AVENGERS bring you what has traditionally been America's favorite superhero!"* *Probably either Spidey of Batman if we're talking over the last 25 or so years.

I think they'd just stretch their resources and do an additional movie, and move a summer blockbuster to spring or Christmas

There would probably be a lot more Spider-man things after that point and less other things, though. It doesn't matter either way, Marvel isn't getting him back anytime soon.

To make a new character called Spiderman, no dash. The son of millionaires, one night while attending a movie his parents are gunned down by a criminal. As he grows up, he comes to believe that criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot. He remembers a traumatic incident as a child when he fell into a spider hole, and decides that he must become a spider.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:the thing I still find kinda weird about it is, I can get why Raimi didn't like Venom as a silver age comics fan, but you would think that the guy who did the Evil Dead trilogy would jump at the chance to include a slime-dripping, toothy monster in his Spider-Man movie, especially after that super Evil Dead-ish scene in Spider-Man 2 with Doc Ock in the emergency room. I think he's said he's come around to the character. Could've been fan pandering, but I dunno. Raimi likes monsters. He might've just read the right story.

Everyone likes Doctor Jackstraw, the abnormal drugs trafficker (and is he a trafficker in abnormal drugs or a drugs trafficker that is abnormal? The answer is yes) but I always liked Tougon, the Chief of Mafia. I always pictured a bunch of gangster-types in suits, and then leading them is this giant fur-wearing barbarian dude lookin like he walked in off the set of Fist of the North Star.

I also don't think they'd throw away IP's that have a strong chance of selling merchandise to women and black folks. Spider-Man will move merch whether there's a movie or not. I'm curious about how they'll do the Inhumans. However they do it, I'm just happy that we'll be able to buy a plush Lockjaw.

The Question IRL posted:The more I read of these leaked Sony Emails in relation to the movie side of things, the more it seems that that Movie Execs are really just horrible message board posters. I worked for a Hollywood exec for a few years, and you would be horrified. Do you remember the producer that Tom Cruise played in Tropic Thunder? Imagine an industry that is 49% that guy and 49% Jeremy Piven from Entourage. Imagine every one of them is constantly angry at creative people for wanting to make creative decisions instead of basing all artistic output on extremely suspect math. Imagine people that sleep 3 hours a night for twenty years so that they can be awake to yell at overseas distribution people or overseas finance people. Imagine people whose only interaction with the intellectual properties they're in charge of is a Powerpoint presentation worked up by an agent who has also never interacted with the property, based on a 45 page synopsis done by a terrified intern who was told to scribe positive write-up that pushes in the direction of Twilight or whatever is popular, regardless of context or quality, and imagine the only thing the agent read was the page one bullet points. Imagine everyone is trying to cover their own rear end while simultaneously taking credit for everything good that has ever happened. The entire industry is powered by rage-fueled one-upsman who make every decision based on uninformed or irrelevantly informed rear end-pull. It's a glorious waking nightmare where nothing means anything and everything is for sale. It's a miracle that any movie has ever been made and that it's all still so lucrative.

I like the fact that that guy at Sony seems to think that a single 91 year old Man is still responsible for Marvel's entire creative output and decisions, and even if that was true that he would voluntarily help out Sony's franchise instead of making decisions to help Marvel Studios.

I feel like they maybe knew enough to know that Bane and Venom and Winter Soldier and others are relatively recent creations so they are hoping the Spider-Man comics will produce some great new characters.

BiggerBoat posted:Thank you for this. I think the Raimi movies have aged horribly and I honestly can not sit down and watch them. At all. Not even ironically. The costumes (except Spideys). The obligatory post 9-11 WE ARE NEW YOWK scenes. It all loving sucks. Except for JK Simmons. Who someone just needs to give a pile of money to so he can be J Jonah Jameson for life. But ASM2 has only grown worse over time. There's a good movie in there somewhere but those hack screenwriters completely trashed everything I loved about ASM1 and ruined it. They overplayed way too much on the Parker Legacy stuff, didn't really establish a strong foundation for Harry or any of his relationships. The tonal shifts in the movie are just loving weird. From almost Adam West Batman camp to very serious and then we're back to lighthearted fun and teenage romance and now we're back to...I don't know, corporate meetings and board rooms and then off to camp land again. There's some good acting in there, but it is hard to see because of some of the horrible dialogue. And there's one really powerful scene which I think was played out perfectly. But that...30 minutes or so doesn't excuse the other two hours. I still love ASM1 and I blame most of that on a studio edit hatchet job. But ASM2 is garbage. I bought the DVD, watched it once and I doubt I'll ever watch it again.

I'm willing to excuse Raimi of a lot of sins since he also gave us the awesome Spiderman vs Doc Ock fight, which was probably the best superhero fight put to screen until Cap vs Winter solider like ten years later.

I did, at his request, write dozens of pages of coverage for a terrible biopic drama idea, which he dropped and decided to turn into a terrible product-cash-in kids movie idea that he wanted to be "exactly like Goonies," which then required an unpaid weekend's worth of all nighters to draft a complete script treatment out of thin air, which he read, and hated, even though his assistant loved it and compared it favorably to Goonies, after which he admitted he's never seen Goonies and has no idea what it is.
