I love it, Marvel had a going out of business sale in the 90s and Sony ended up with Spider-Man plus a pile of absolute dogshit characters they keep sifting through hoping to find one people will like

Apparently there's a contract term that requires Sony to make a Spiderman movie every # years, or else the rights revert back to marvel. So it's a weirdly cursed investment property.
There’s a story about Alexie Sayle - one of the founding fathers of British stand-up - offering a terrible open spot comic £50 for their only good joke. “It’s worthless in your set, but it’ll work in mine”.
What I’m saying is, I don’t think Sony would have made that $28m back.
I agree with this. Sony has never had the chops to manage something like Marvel, but it's hilarious to me that they passed on IP for basement prices that turned into a multi-billion dollar enterprise while they were putting out Pixels
What’s great about that character is how relatable he is. If I had an arm blown off in Vietnam I too would turn myself into a big lizard trying to grow it back
It’s weird because the characters they choose for these solo pictures couldn’t even carry their own comic series. Why Madame Web and not Spider-Woman? Why Morbius and not The Prowler? They keep choosing the C-listers.
Very short sighted of them to not at least get the other characters on the periphery like Daredevil. At least they can play with it instead of just an entire universe hanging on spider thingies

Who got Alpha Flight? Gimme that.
