A deal was always going to be made. The only questions outstanding are whether he will appear in any Avengers-type movies and whether Sony will make a solo film or just use him to prop up other Spider-verse movies.

Wasnt there talk of spin offs from the Multiverse ?

Yes, there will be.

Im tapped out but not because I'm disappointed, those last two movies were good in their own right but for anyone who has followed this movie series the last 10 years feel that its completed.

Anyone who knows the characters from the comics knows that we’ve only just scratched the surface.

Won't denie that, although 10 years following anything in the TV/movie world is a long time.
For me it feels wrapped up other than I want to see what happens to Spiderman now since the whole world knows his identity.

Sony were willing to give 25% of the profit but Disney wanted 50% inc 100% of merchandise.

But yay Disney!

Bit disappointing but ah well.

How the f**** is it disapointing? The only thing appealing about spiderman is his interaction with the other marvel characters.

Couldnt find a " Dark Phoenix " thread


So i guess we're not getting the ESSEX CORP after all.....

 

[Bomberboyokay]

What?

 

[iBeng]

Dark Phoenix isnt cannon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe...

 

[edgie]

What does everyone think about Scorsese's comments?

 

[JackOutback]

He’s entitled to his opinion. He probably has a point. I still watch them and like them.

I know but this was the closest thread

 

[peternorth]

I watched some Batwoman last night. It was hard to watch.

And anyway i prefer melissa benoists supergirl to ruby rose batwoman.

For the most part Scorsese isn't wrong, however what is wrong with movies being entertaining and fun and engaging the imagination? Secondly, he has made much of his most well known work around the theme of gangsters, and to me, I find those concepts delve just as much in to make believe for the average person, as norse gods and men in robot suits and talking racoons.

It was a pretty cheap shot and a very shallow opinion. Scorsese admitted to not having seen them all and so has made his opinion based his preconceived idea that Mainstream films suck.

But his opinion would be fairly popular with the Oscar voting community in Hollywood that are woefully out of touch.

Scorsese just made a movie for netflix which is often argued as being the killer of cinema, he is an idiot.

I’m guessing he’s coming from a place of “superhero movie fatigue” that many bemoan. Fair enough then, but no one is obliged to see these movies. However labelling them as “not cinema” is a big stretch.

He is coming from a place that is the past.

Just because it’s being argued doesn’t mean it’s right.

He didn’t say he hadn’t seen them, he said he tried and couldn’t finish them. We don’t know how much he watched but he’s not obliged to sit through every film to the end before commenting.

As I say, I like them, but I’m not pretending they are high art, though like any genre, they can occasionally rise above.

I took it to mean he's seen a couple and realised they're not his type of movies so he hasn't watched them all. Which is fine.

But to compare them to theme park rides would be pretty insulting to the thousands of people who have worked on the films, especially if he is making that glib comment off very little evidence.

Nothing wrong with saying they are poor cinema or that they're not what he wants to see in film. To imply that they're not cinema is where he crosses the line.

 

[JackOutback]

Comparing superhero movies to the theme park rides they have literally been turned into is less an insult and more an observation
