When Marvel reclaims the Spidey rights....THEN Spidey will be done right. Until then we will have films like what we got recently...which were entertaining but still lacking a lot.
The fact that Jeph Loeb and Joe Quesada have pretty limited influence on Marvel Studios allows me to have the measure of faith you lack.Of course. As shown by the way Marvel has been treating Spider-Man in every medium they got their hands on in the last few years.
Personally, I cannot understand how anyone would trust Marvel at the moment with Spider-Man after all the crap they did to him.

That all said, MS won't be able to touch SM unless a bankrupt Sony sells the rights or Disney buys Sony outright.
Sadly we may never see Spiderman fight along side the Avengers, They had a chance to put Oscorp building in the New York Skyline during the Avengers and did not do so.
Sony is going to try to Milk Spiderman for all they can and then when it is all used up like the Raimi Movies, they will reboot him again just like Warner Brothers is doing to Superman.
You would think with the amount of money Marvel Studios is making on each film, Worldwide Boxoffice for IM3 is now north of a billion dollars, they could but together a package to Buy back Spiderman at least in time for a cameo in Avengers 2 and a New Film produced by Marvel Studios.....but it does not look likey.
kill spiderman in every other form of media and sony will cave
a movie franchise CANNOT survive without an advertising budget, and merchandise pays for that budget.
sorry but EVEN spiderman CANNOT thrive without some sort of support.
and starting with tasm2, sony is on their own, NO merchandise money
no comics, no toys, no nothing, disney does not NEED spiderman money, they got pixar, star wars and amusement parks and the rest of the marvel universe.
and when disney gets nothing for the movies, why not kill him?
fox hasn't had xmen support since disney bought marvel, and look what happened, wolverine and first class made 16.2 million COMBINED domestically, and domestic box office is ALL that matters when it comes to sequels, and before anyone tries to say i'm wrong, please provide INDISPUTABLE PROOF by citing a legitimate example of ONE big budget movie that tanked domestically yet cleaned house overseas that got a sequel.

Wow.
So basically kill Spidey and then expect Disney/Marvel to revive a character they completely wiped out and have no support for.
You literally just advocated the character's permanent death in all media.
That sounds immature.
if it works, why not? its hollywood and comics after all, when sony caves, just say it was an alternate universe thing and bring him back, the ****'s been workin for years in comics, so again, why not?
R.I.P. James Gandolfini
Uh, because you would be literally killing Spider-Man off completely from all media to the point that there'd be no reason to bring him back because the franchise will have no cash potential and will be dead?
If anything, all that will do is force more people to go see Sony's Spider-Man because it will literally be the only Spider-Man product around.
Your entire post reeks of immaturity.
...and yet they're still making sequels to those movies, and fox still has a stranglehold on the rights.fox hasn't had xmen support since disney bought marvel, and look what happened, wolverine and first class made 16.2 million COMBINED domestically, and
Mission: Impossible - III: $134M domestic vs $150M budget. Made $263M overseas.

huh? dude didn't call you any names at all..check that tone junior, name calling is as immature has you can get.
...and yet they're still making sequels to those movies, and fox still has a stranglehold on the rights.
you are right, but this is fox we are talking about, not the brightest film company out there, but probably the most arrogant, they make disney and sony look modest.
Mission: Impossible - III: $134M domestic vs $150M budget. Made $263M overseas. Got a sequel.
0
(we have a winner!!!, good research, i missed that one, but then again, Tom Cruise does help produce these movies, and HE wouldn't end HIS series on a downer)
The second Narnia movie: $141M domestic vs $225M budget. Made $278M overseas. Got a sequel.
(close, but disney didnt make the sequel, FOX did, so that one doesn't count)
Kung Fu Panda 2: $165M domestic vs. $150M budget (didn't really tank but underperformed domestically). Made $500M overseas. Another sequel is in the works.
(also doesnt count, it didn't LOSE money domestically)
The Expendables 2: $85M domestic vs $100M budget. Made $215M overseas. Another sequel and a possible female spinoff are in the works.
(no disputing you there, good research)
Prometheus: $126M domestic vs. $130M budget. Made $276M overseas. A sequel is in the works.
(when it actually gets made, ill admit i was wrong, but FOX again)
And there are a few movie that tanked in all markets and yet still got sequels: Ghost Rider, The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift to name a couple.
(Ghost Rider did NOT lose money domestically, and it made more than its budget overseas. fftd was ONLY a sequel UNTIL fast and furious came out, and it would have been the LAST movie if they couldn't have gotten the original cast back together)
huh? dude didn't call you any names at all..
(was anybody asking your opinion on this one?......NO!)
Yeah, I think I'm done with him, too.Was just about to respond to your last response to me until I saw this.
Your immaturity is not worth my time. Good day, sir.
