Same reason that All-New All-Different Jessica Drew and Julia Carpenter are there but not Mattie Franklin or Anya Corazon

I would've made a joke about them not letting her in because of her terrible costume, but they let in Renew Your Vows MJ, so clearly there is no dress code

It is mind blowing, like genuinely loving nonsensical to me, that Sony keeps leaning in to movies on Spider-Man characters literally nobody on earth has ever given a poo poo about in like fuckin Silver Sable and Kraven and Madame Webb and Morbius, minor characters who have often never even had a solo comic and in the rare cases they did they certainly weren’t acclaimed or enjoyed or anywhere close to popular, and yet consistently keep ignoring the character gold mines like Silk, Kaine Scarlet Spider, any of the Spider-Girls, Jessica Drew, heroes with well-established backstories and great, in some cases ongoing, comics that they don’t use at all in any meaningful way. It’s absurd to me.

If the lord and Miller movies didn’t exist, we wouldn’t have any cinematic representation of Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Woman, or some form of post One More Day Spider-Man (if you take the Peter B. Parker interpretation fairly loosely and make the dissolution of his marriage one that’s not the fuckin stupidest poo poo in the world). Like literally any one of those heroes could have, and could have easily, anchored their own live-action movie, and the toys that Sony keeps letting the animated movies play with in the toy box are the best options available overall while simultaneously using all the shittiest possible options for their live action spider-movies slate makes no sense to me. Like if they just did the former and not the latter, that makes sense. If they just did the latter and not the former, that also makes sense, because you can point to “we’re going off of what the numbers say are the most commercially viable options” or something. Instead it’s like this weird situation where somebody in Sony corporate thinks that Miguel O’Hara is a commercially viable character, but not as much as Kraven, oh no no no.

Yeah to be fair I wouldn't be surprised that in 10 years or so a Crisis thing is on the table and all these people are getting a call. In the current era I don't think that's outlandish. If someone were to tell me even five years ago there'd be a film featuring all three live-action Spider-Men and most of the villains from their respective films all together I would have told them to get their head checked. But it happened.

I do love how on brand the Rock is. It makes me laugh. Got to love it.

there's this paint by numbers game i play on myphone that has a marvel section to it, whenever I finish a picture a share it to facebook and one of my friends is just getting into comics because of the MCU and D+ stuff. She saw this spiderverse image that had Silk in it and was really interested in reading about her, so the very fist thing I said was do NOT read her first appearance because holy poo poo was that bad. Such a great character with such a lovely start.

- They will be announcing the first slate of new DC projects in January.

- "Elseworld" movies that are one-shots that take place outside of the main DCU are in active development.

- Justice League Unlimited and Young Justice animated shows are inspiration for many of the new live action characters and movies.

It is absolutely incredible that “hot Asian woman literally designed solely to gently caress Peter Parker and also she’s naked when she’s first introduced” turns into legitimately the best character in the Spider-Family. It is loving mind blowing.

Don't forget her first "costume" is basically Cindy wrapping herself in her own webbing which is organic.

It was pretty funny in the Midnight Suns game they call part of that out with Peter going "What? No! Spider pheromones' are not a thing!"

Gunn using the 90s and early 2000s DC animated shows as the inspiration for his slate of movies is the best idea. They unde4stood why these characters are great, and built on that. Oh man if Batman turns into Btas Batman in live action, he'll yes.

Pretty sure this is further continuance of WBD's plan to save money by pulling content off of their platforms and not having to pay the people who made it

I mean they just pulled Westworld, a show that only recently finished airing, from the service (or they are going to shortly).

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Didn’t they just announce that that stuff isn’t gonna disappear but is gonna move to the free ad services? So I assume that means it’s not about saving money via not paying royalties but rather making some quick cash by selling broadcasting rights and maybe testing the viability of ads as they try and figure out how to make streaming work?

I looked this up and Westworld, along with some other live-action shows are going to those services. I am not seeing that the animated stuff they are pulling is also going there but maybe that just hasn't been announced yet.

It's just really stupid because you're giving people less of a reason to keep HBO Max.

Apparently, they are shopping some of them to the free streamers - not everything. But, WB/D doesn't own any free streaming service. If none of the free streamers want to buy it, then it just goes in the vault.

According to TVline, they are shopping these shows to Pluto TV, Tubi, and Peacock.

Yeah my impression of that is that’s it one part making some easy money by selling broadcasting rights like in the old days. And the other seems like it might be an experiment by proxy to see how things would go if they added their own free or cheaper ad level/service.

I don’t know that any of that makes sense. Just like trying to get at the motivation and whether or not that stuff is getting lost.
