Spiderman: Far From Home

I'm telling you all, they'll crack within the next five years, if not the next six months.

Sony is utterly foolish if they think they're going to beat the monster that swallowed FOX. Especially when they have the internet fan outrage machine firmly on their side.

Well any reboot of Spiderman Sony do after this won't do well in the box-office. I know my nephews won't see it, they're prefer to see Spiderman in the MCU, as would I, not wanting to see another Spiderman reboot series which probably fail like the Amazing Spiderman Series did.

If that's true I am not surprised honestly. Maybe that plus fan outrage at Sony will make them renegotiate with Marvel and quickly!

So, what's going to happen with Tom Holland Spiderman?

Are we just going to pretend he never existed somehow? Are we just going to have to assume J Jonah Jameson successfully forced Spiderman to retire and move somewhere under an assumed name?

That's kind of a massive downer ending.

Yeah, how is that going to be explained, or will some nonsense be done, like saying the Spiderman films take place in a timeline now separate from the main MCU, like what happened with Marvel's Agents of SHIELD after season 5, in the run up to season 6, as a BS way to avoid showing the aftermath of Infinity War in season 6 which set after that film, but set before Endgame.

That's sure unexpected. Damn shame they didn't want to give Sony more than 5% of profits, too.

That seems like a bad idea for Sony too...

Edit: Then again if they were only getting 5% that's maybe more understandable. What the hell Disney, you greedy fucks?

You misread. Disney was the one getting only 5% off of each movie. Specifically 5% of first day sales. They wanted to move to a solid 50/50
 
Honestly, probably the easiest route to take would be keeping the character, but having him take a new name and identity after the events of FFH. So long as they avoid actually using Spiderman or Peter in their scripts, it would be a way to skirt the legal line.
 
Is having vanilla Spiderman all to themselves really going to do much for Sony?

All of their Spiderman stuff is that's succeeding right now is stuff that was a bit off kilter already or benefited from being part of the MCU.

What is just having a normal Spiderman movie going to give them? Do they really think trying to make a Spiderman cinematic universe will work the second time they'd tried it.

Damn greedy Sony!

Considering Spiderman Far From Home, Spiderman Homecoming, Avengers Civil War, Avengers Infinity War and Endgame have made a lot of money for both Disney and Sony, Disney are well within their rights to want a 50/50 split and deserve it.

Sony breaking up the partnership that produced their highest-grossing film ever is certainly a bold move.

Disney won't care. They just got the X-Men and the Fantastic Four back, they don't need Spider-Man.

Sony could easily keep making good Spider-Man movies if they follow Far From Home's trajectory, but given their past fuckups...
 
The partneship needs to last long enough for Norman to drop his racist spiel on how Skrulls are taking over the earth and Spidey must stop the Dark Reign alone

Except that the deal that made Spiderman part of the MCU handed all the merchandise rights to Disney if I remember right. So Disney gets all the profits from things like toys, t-shirts, posters etc; basically the original deal seems to have been that Sony gets ticket sales, Disney gets everything else. Also, not sure if Sony sees any actual money from Spiderman's appearances in Infinty War & Endgame.

Don't you worry, Disney will get their money, they wouldn't have struck that original deal in the first place if they didn't stand to make a profit from it.
 
Eh. If it Sony ending the deal means we can get an adult Peter Parker, then I do t really mind. The mcu Spider-Man movies are alright but I'm not too interested in not-Miles-Morales.
 
Honestly, good.

Letting Disney take over the entirety of pop culture just so you can have all your super herores in the same universe is a dumb idea. I'd prefer it if the rights were owned by the creator/their family rather than a different multi-billion dollar megacorp, but I'll take what I can get.

(Also, Disney 100% knew Sony would reject the deal and are counting on fan outrage to force Sony to conceed to a worse one. By all accounts, Sony offered other variations on the deal which Disney refused).
 
Good, fuck Disney. After Endgame, I'm somewhat satisfied with the MCU's mixed bag. Let the deals fall apart, death to the mouse.
 
Well, I guess Peter Parker got brutally murdered after his secret identity got revealed to the world. :V

But really, it's probably better if Disney doesn't have the horrifying amount of influence and power that they still have, even without this deal.
 
I liked this movie, but there is one thing I didnt really get. Why does Peter care about having a secret identity? None of the other heroes in the MCU do, so why is he so fixated on keeping his?

He's a teenager without the wealth or power other heroes have. He'd probably get a thousand death threats a day. :V

Because he doesn't really fit in that global/cosmic scale para-military strike force that's the default of the MCU. Yeah, Non-MCU Spidey does operate at that level on occasion, but his default is a street level supe who's trying to balance that with his dorky Charlie Brown existence.
