Adjusted for inflation the Raimi films would have done just as well.

True, but after part 2 they started getting sloppy with the IP. I'd be less hesitant to get on board if Sony suddenly started showing some competenceMr_Goji_and_Watch wrote:Adjusted for inflation the Raimi films would have done just as well.
Regardless of how you feel about the studio, FFH needs a conclusion after it had the balls to set up what it did at the end.

Not saying Sony couldn't be successful with the IP, but what he made with the MCU is nothing to scoff at.

Forcing him into the VenomVerse is not the right thing to do and yet that's exactly what they're going to do. You know they will.

No he wasn't, he was hands-off with Spiderverse, which, again, was only great because Sony were too busy ruining The Emoji Movie to get actively involved with it.Destoroyah of Worlds wrote:Avi Arad was actually a huge part of Spider-Verse.

Sony is headed by Tom Rothman, who, as the head of Fox, droveout Byran Singer from X-Men 3, gave us Wolerine: Origins which, according to the rumors, he pestered the director to the point where he quit halfway and the movie was made without one from then one ordered Deapool's mouht to be stiched shut, greenlit the Tim Story F4 movies as well as Fant4stic. To be fair, that one turned out to be 'whole team effort' in how bad it was.
Not only that, but Avi Arad is a sterotypical old man who doesn't have his touch anymore.
Rothman also hired BRETT RATNER (!) of all people to direct The Last Stand, another one of his idiot moves at Fox.
I'm very excited for Morbius, Venom 2, and Spiderman Homecoming 3.
In the leaked Sony emails, they had planned Spiderman 2099, The Last Hunt, and the Clone saga, which could be awesome if done right. Spiderman is going to be just fine. Maybe even better than he was at Marvel.
They won't be, and don't say "but Spiderverse was great" because, again, Sony were hands off with that movie. It only turned out as good as it did because they handed it off to their smaller Animation studio because they were too busy destroying The Emoji Movie. Rothman and Arad had nothing to do with it, hence why it didn't get nearly as big of a marketing budget as their other films.Fish Cakes wrote:Okay but what if the movies are better and more true to the character even if they don't make as much?Orichalcum wrote:Spider-Man was banking billions with Marvel, I highly doubt that

Avi Arad
I think your greater point that Sony meddled less with Spider-Verse is true but to say Arad, Amy Pascal, this Rothman guy and the other "villans" at Sony people always complain about it had nothing to do with it is just plain wrong

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe
he had a very active role in the film. he wasn't some nameless executive producer. he was one of the driving creative forces and producers. Like I said, Avi has a background in Spider-Man cartoons. Before he was helping out with movies, he was working on the 90's Spiderman cartoon. Spider-Verse happens to be a cartoon.KManX89 wrote:No he wasn't, he was hands-off with Spiderverse, which, again, was only great because Sony were too busy ruining The Emoji Movie to get actively involved with it.Destoroyah of Worlds wrote:Avi Arad was actually a huge part of Spider-Verse.

I just think the guy is a little TOO obsessed with Venom and feels pressured to insert a nemesis in live action films right away.

Instead of rebooting it hard, they can just have a soft reboot with other universes, and other actors playing new incarnations of characters, just like in comics.

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Pretty much this. Alternate universes give them all the ammo they need to keep the MCU going for another decade or more if they play their cards right. It's way too early to be talking about hard reboots.LSD Jellyfish wrote:Instead of rebooting it hard, they can just have a soft reboot with other universes, and other actors playing new incarnations of characters, just like in comics.

Too many people have become to accustomed to the actors/actresses portraying the classic MCU characters for that to work.LSD Jellyfish wrote:Instead of rebooting it hard, they can just have a soft reboot with other universes, and other actors playing new incarnations of characters, just like in comics.
Personally, I say that it should go into hibernation for 3-5 years and get semi-rebooted with the X-Men, Fantastic 4, and some of the other MCU characters like Black Panther, the GOTG, etc.
