This is the last post I'm gonna make on this because you are clearly too attached to your feelings on this matter to have an actual normal discussion about this. But I do need to point out some things.
Being disappointed in a cut of a movie and not agreeing with the direction they took (and them also closing the door on future versions) does not make me an entitled fanboy.
You are absolutely right. You are totally allowed to have the opinions you do and that is fine, that doesn't make you an entitled fanboy. But when you think you are owed anything beyond what they have released, to the point of insulting the editor, claiming he is being selfish and not giving what the fans want, then you are acting like an entitled fanboy. Is that what he is doing? No, he just being paid to do a job, he doesn't have some agenda or vendetta against the fans.
Sorry I'm not a mindless sheep who likes everything Sony throws at me lol.
I...didn't say you were? And I'm not either. I've literally been criticizing Sony on these very boards for the last 15 years lol.
Thank you for proving my point on Spider-Man 2.1 and No Way Home as to why it makes zero sense for them to be worried about giving Spider-Man 3 (the one movie where fans WANTED an Extended Cut for) the same treatment for its 10 Year Anniversary!
They did, you just didn't like what they gave you. And I didn't either for the record. I'm just not going to berate anyone involved about it every moment I get because Sony is gonna Sony at this point. Would I be open to watching an extended cut of SM3 if they were to ever release one? Of course. Would I potentially be open to the idea that there's a version of the movie that could change my opinion on the matter? Yeah absolutely. But I'm not gonna hold my breath it ever getting released, cause again Sony is gonna Sony.
Or maybe I never had an issue with the story or the performances to begin with and I just want to see a longer version of the movie. I like how you claim Spider-Man 3 is overstuffed but then you think Spider-Man 3 isn't justified in having a longer runtime.
I didn't say it wasn't justified in a longer runtime, I just said it wasn't going to fix the core issues of the movie. You can have a longer movie and still have an overstuffed script.
This same editor did the recent Doctor Strange movie with Raimi with all of this multiverse stuff and what was two of the biggest complaints about that movie? It was messy and it was too short! What have fans been clamoring for since the release of that movie? An Extended Cut but you probably have an issue with that as well lol.
No I actually do think an extended cut of MoM would be beneficial. The story was fine, but the pacing is a bit too quick in areas and glosses over some things that would actually benefit from some breathing room to flesh things out. But that's an entirely different discussion.
Most people who want a Spider-Man 3 Extended Cut are ALREADY FANS OF THE MOVIE! You don't see people who hate Spider-Man 3 clamoring for a Director's Cut!
I am a fan of the movie...and I also think it's not a good movie either. I know crazy right? To like something despite it's glaring flaws. And you seem to think I'm against the ideas of extended or director cuts of movies. I'm not, unless it's just a cheap cash grab. In fact I literally just said I wanted one for SM3 in the past in one of my previous posts. But I'm just not going to obsess about it or insult the creators involved. Hence why I originally said..."That's certainly an odd take."
