They demanded final Veto on everything if they dained to let Spiderman enter the MCU, and now they may have fired Garfield for saying the ASM2 did suffer from to much oversight?

Do they think fans will sing their praises if they reboot again?

Sonyhas no idea what they're doing do they?

Nope not from what this looks like. I'd be sad to see Garfield get the boot. He was a better Peter and Spider-man than Maguire was. But Sony's over ambitiousness has been killing the franchise. I mean it's not always wrong to try and throw some story out there but they tend to throw out too much at one time, trying to build their world and at the same time making it overtly convoluted. Really the only Marvel property I still want in their hands is Men In Black, and with the rumors of a Jump Street crossover I'm even a bit wary of that statement

[Cheetimus Primal]

If the Jump Street creative team is in charge it'll be great.

Woooooow.  Marvel might be able to get Spider-Man back for a song at this point.

On one hand, getting Spidey and his universe out of Sony's moronic hands could only be a good thing, but I'd be sad to see Garfield go.  I wouldn't go as far as to say he's the perfect Spider-Man, but he seems to love the character, and he's an order of magnitude better than Maguire.  It's just been the plots of his movies that've let him down.

 

I wonder if age is partly a factor though... I didn't realize he was 31, and if Marvel wanted to start up a new trilogy, he'd be close to 40 by the end of it.

Garfield fired.

Not a particularly good idea but I'm gonna wait to see who they replace him with before I get pissy.

Looking more and more like the right thing is happening.

[Ironbite]

Could you imagine this happening?  I mean seriously.  In a million years could this happen?

 

Ironbite-I cannot wait.

The only thing I'd want more in the MCU is the Fantastic Four. I mean, re-build the FF over from scratch, 'cause the team's a walking anachronism. But Doctor Doom? Silver Surfer? GALACTUS? Oh, how my heart aches. How it ACHES.

 

Seriously Disney, you get that, I'm good. Yeah, people want the X-Men, but they're perfectly fine where they are. The FF's movie status is literally tragic.

Because at the time they were in a BAD bankruptcy and it looked very likely there would be no Marvel Comics in short order. Combine that with the fact that there had never been any sucessful Marvel films at the time and that the idea that they could make them themselves seemed as likely as building their own space ship and creating a real FF and I think they were happy to throw anything into the deal just to get Movie studios to give them any money.


-ZacWilliam, it's only in retrospect for a corporation in an entirely different situation now that it seems a cripplingly bad business choice.

huh, so it will be...

 

 

Without Garfield?

[D Immortalis]

Without Garfield?

 

The real question is: If it is, will it still love Lasagna and Hate Mondays?

I don't care much about The Fantastic Four, but I would rather them find their way into the MCU than X-Men for sure. X-Men is too big for the MCU. They'd take it over the same way they've taken over Marvel Comics so many times. Not that I mind that. I only ever really read X-Men comics anyway. The others bored me. But the MCU has taught me to appreciate the other Marvel characters a lot more, and I'd hate to be distracted from that.
