Forgive me for not knowing this, but why is the eighth episode of The Return “hallowed”?? Was it not easily findable for a bit..? Or just because it’s the conclusion..??

127 Eiffel Tower-high stacks of cased CDs.??

fuck... you guys, (Americans) will use anything other than the metric system to measure won’t you?

I guess I’m just Extremely Online but I don’t leave the only digital copy of anything online.  Everything is backed up, from fanfic created in google docs to my entire history on livejournal.  

Imagine how different the world would be if Myspace would have won and we weren’t subjected to every Aunt Karen sharing racist memes all day into our feed on facebook.

Or how badly they muck up Venom 2 now that they’re almost certainly chomping at the bit to get Hardy and Holland on screen together.

This is the epitome of first world problems. But I live in the first world, so yes, this is a problem to me.

Wow, I am out of the loop. I have not heard of the Morbius movie so I just googled it.

Think about how integrated Far From Home’s Spider-Man was in the MCU. From his suit, to the villains, to Happy Hogan and Aunt May. It would be incredibly strange tonally to just shut all that off. 

Or any of the Stark suits, references to past events, Nick Fury, SHIELD, Happy Hogan, etc, etc, etc, etc.

We keep skipping that Marvel asked for 50% of the profits and to pay 50% of the production costs. Still not a great deal for Sony, but only mentioning the 50% profit request frames the negotiations as way off balance.

The military is not run by blind zealots. They will not obey an insane order to nuke Iran made by an unhinged lame-duke president. They will literally stage a military coup and remove such a President by force before that happens.

There are already more good Spider-Man films than there are good Star Wars films.

Sony only got involved with Marvel to begin with because it leaked that Amy Pascal had refused to work with them after the second Andrew Garfield series underperformed, and Sony Japan found out Sony America hadn’t passed Marvel’s offer along to HQ. Now Sony execs think “there’s no way we can screw things up a fourth…

Guessing now that the title will be The Matrix: Reboot

...Disney is the reason Spider-Man is as big as he is again.

The problem is Sony is more likely to meddle whereas Marvel more or less knew what they wanted to make and let the directors shape it within that lens.

Which, while an amazing groundbreaking film, didn’t do so great at the box office :-/ Edit: I guess it did pretty good for an animated film but could have done so much better. The marketing was pretty meh and I think a lot of people only watched it in the theater because of word of mouth.

Based on how negotiations work, Disney wasn’t going for 50%, that was just their starting position, showing that they wanted a much larger share. Which, you know, makes since, being that the deal is up for renegotiation and the movies have been insanely successful.

Sony is the one people are mad at because instead of…

Disney no doubt feels like the MCU brand is what’s made the MCU Spiderman films so much money.

In all honesty, you’re right. I fully expect the next Spider-Man movie to be good but not great (if they keep the same stars, writers and director) and then Sony is going to get full of themselves and then it is going to go right down the toilet again, and in 5 years we get another dead Uncle Ben
