With MJ and Ned out of the picture(for now), I wonder if they use this as a chance to introduce a MCU Gwen Stacy? Of course, if you bring her in, do you just have her be normal Gwen or go full Ghost Spider?

This is pretty much exactly what I was thinking.

Next Spider-Man would be a good time to introduce Black Cat

Yeah it seems like they're finally moving into the "young adult" Spider-Man, so entering the Black Cat era might make some sense. I'm the weirdo the really liked Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man and enjoyed ASM 1, but man it should have been post high school, even then Garfield looked like Buscemis "fellow kids" guy.

The reset is a pretty good way to do a soft reboot of the series while maintaining the cast. Part of me wishes they'd just stop while they're ahead, but another part of me wants to see where they go. The worst part of the Holland movies was all the tech, so it's cool to completely take it off the table.

Honestly if they want to introduce Hobgoblin, go the Phil Urich route. Introduce Ben as a competitor to Jameson and Pete becomes friends with his nephew Phil, then through whatever contrivance you like he can become Hobgoblin/Green Goblin/Goblin King. Hell, merge him with some of the other Hobgoblins and eschew the formula and insanity for a being a crime lord with a theatric bent in your Spidey vs organized crime story since it seems like Pete is now primed to be a proper city hero again.

I mean, can't really introduce him when he already existed. Maybe make that tie into his origin, he decides he wants to go after Kingpin for revenge, and the best way is to become the Hobgoblin and beat him at his own game, crime.

Oh god, what if the reason The Flash is finishing with S8 is because after the Flashpoint movie Grant Gustin will be DCEU Flash. They already had a crossover right?

I have to think Grant Gustin is close to being done with the Flash. Watching the current episodes of the show he just looks like he hates existing.

Back in the '70s Marvel had an explosion of martial arts characters and one of them was White Tiger, a Puerto Rican. Marvel's first Hispanic superhero. I always thought he was cool but I'm not sure who has the rights for him. I assumed he was part of Spider-Man's world because that's how I was introduced to him and other versions of the character have been adapted in Spider-Man cartoons but apparently he started out in Shang-Chi so maybe he doesn't belong to Sony.



I know at least at one point there's a new female White Tiger and she appeared frequently in Daredevil.

Honestly, I know it's a cliché with comic book stuff, but I really feel like X-Men is better as a prestige tv series or an animated show than as a series of movies. There are certainly ways to make a good X-Men movie, but the comics are such a soap opera that I feel like leaning into the longer form storytelling of a show is advantageous for the property.

I agree. X-Men is an ensemble, it's hard to really have character development with a bunch of team members in a movie. I think Guardians pulled it off pretty well, but even that was mostly Star-Lord.

Have an ongoing series would be better.

I'll see if i can find a clip but in the new cyberpunk anime there a scene where it goes in slowmo to do all the super speed stuff and it plays out all the way, but then it cuts backwards and you see the whole thing from a third party's perspective and it all happens in like 2 second it's pretty neat.

dunno how you could sustain that for a whole movie but it works

Yeah that's kind of how they handled the Quicksilver scenes in the X-Men movies, which were really good
