Finally we agree on something
I actually love Otto's second costume. It's probably my favorite Spider-Man costume. So sleek looking and with so many cool tech upgrades.
But I have no illusions of getting anything of the sort. It's gunna be the classic red and blues. It's not going to be stylized to any appreciable degree. Which is fine. I guess.
Edit: Oh, please, Sony, if you want to give Spidey a costume with robotic legs, go with this one and not Iron Spider. Iron Spider is ugly as sin.

I hear "Kraven's Last Hunt" thrown around a lot but there is absolutely no way they go with this, probably ever. It is WAY too dark.

nothing could be worse than captain america "costume" in Avengers 1. It was seriously just a hoodie. His suits in Cap 2, avengers 2 are so much better

This deal would have had to get approved by Bob Iger and Tom Staggs before being announced so they are already on board and don't have a problem with Sony making a profit.

Like what?
Maybe this will inspire those jerks at Marvel to put out the second volume of the omnibus editions. <_____<

Yeah the mask part of it was really bad.
Luckily it's been tossed and the one in Avengers 2 is, to me, the best yet.

Wrong. He told Pratt to quit reading it and to read Annihilation if anything.

I wonder what the next Spider-Man films will be called. Astonishing? Spectacular?
Also. I would love to see Mysterio in the new film or Hobgoblin.

We don't know if he doesn't like Bendis or not. Just that Bendis' run is a new chapter for the Guardians and Pratt was playing a very different Star Lord. So Bendis' run was not conducive to his research of the character.

We know he invited DnA to visit the set and not Bendis.

And if he liked Bendis's run pretty positive we would of gotten Bendis's RR, and a desert planet as Knowhere instead of a floating head.

and he told him to read the DnA run if he was going to read anything.

Yes. He told him not to read Bendis stuff because that's not what they were doing with the movie.
There's been absolutely nothing said about how Gunn feels about Bendis' GoTG except for what's being projected by people who don't like his run (not saying that's you, BTW).
Makes sense, why invite Bendis when you're not using his run? "Hey look at us not using any of your stuff at all!"
A lot of it's tied to Otto's obsession with robotics.
A (way more logical than Iron Spider's three) set of four robotic spider legs can pop out of the back of the costume which are useful for fighting and also climbing obviously.
The panel on the top of his glove has a screen on it from which Spider-Man can see current web fluid levels, access his private network in a smart phone kind of way and see through the eyes of the hundreds (maybe thousands) of little robotic spiders Otto had dispersed throughout the city looking for crime.
He has a communicator built into the mask which is something that peter had, but added voice commands for alternate vision modes installed in the eyepieces. Some of those modes provided scientific information about things he was looking at in an Iron Man heads up display kind of way while some could shield his eyes from sudden flashes or other interference.
What are essentially claws were installed in the gloves that are retractable, but could also inject microscopic spider-trackers under the subject's skin on a scratch.
Superior Spider-Man was all about that intel. Spider-Man has always punched above his weight because he fights smarter, not harder. Superior upgrades just took that to the logical conclusion.

Oh, no question. I was thinking more down the road. Not that it isn't already, but if Spider-Man "becomes" a huge franchise, I could see Disney maybe getting upset that their "employees" Marvel are putting money in to the pockets of another company and tightening the reigns in response. However, since any success Sony have with the Spider-Man movies ultimately benefits Disney in the form of merchandising and strengthening their own MCU brand, I would think the two companies could continue collaborating.
Plus, if Disney are basically hiring their talent out to other studios, wouldn't they get a cut of the box office anyway? I'm not really sure how all of that works. I know these movies are being "made by Marvel" now, but they're also being made by Wheedon and Favreau. So who runs the MCU and makes sure it's actually a universe? This Feige guy? Who's he? I got the impression that Joss was fairly influential in where things were headed overall. Is that true?

Yes except if he liked it don't you think he would of let Pratt read it or base his movie off of it? I mean not that far of a stretch.
But if Sony used that shotgun they'd be stuck wherever they stopped cause they don't know how to drive.

Yeah, seems like Marvel might get performance-based compensation similar to what a producer gets for their contributions to the movie, according to some of the articles we've seen.

^^^ Thanks. Makes sense.
To continue the driving analogy, owning the car is a bit like owning the racing team. Yes, you want your driver to do well, but you do that by providing him with the tools he needs to win, not by trying to teach him to drive. He already knows how to drive; that's why you hired him. He just needs a fast car, which is where your participation begins and ends.
lol Well, basically. That's the same reason Disney don't use their shotgun on Marvel. Disney don't know any more about making superhero movies than Sony do. Marvel are the experts here. Disney/Sony just front the ~$200M it takes to make a decent superhero movie, and collect the profits for their trouble.

You do realise Bendis doesn't give a shit, right? Besides which, he's on the Marvel Comics-MCU council. So there's probably a few suggestions he made that reached the final film.
Built in computer, octo legs, and vision enhancement.
No. Please let Slotts creations out of this and go with the classic character rooster.

He totally gives a shit. It's why he keeps leaping onto Marvel comics that are about to have movies come out.
I guarantee you we see him on either Black Panther, Captain Marvel, or Dr. Strange next now that he's leaving the X-books.

you realize that bendis run started in march 2013 which is probably when gunn was already well into working on his draft for GOTG? why the fuck would he base his movie off a run that was just beginning?
he probably hadn't even read it or formed an opinion on it by the time he was halfway through his work.

Iron Spider costume looks like buttpucker.
Marvel, no. You get Spidey back and then you weld brass colored turdage to his body?

Want to do a proper Spider-Man movie without Raimi?
Pay Jon Favreau a shit ton of money and he'll pull of something arguably better than SM1 and SM2.

they can just make the next movie about the spidey clone wars and have the lead be Ben Reilly. everyone will be happy.
YES YES YES!
I love the clone saga concept, they should absoutly make an adaption.
I think Kaine is better.

He probably did. Since the early run was pretty much typical sci fi made for movies. Why do you think Bemdis jumped on GotG? Also Bendis changed it and ignored his own canon about the time GotG hit. Remember how he changed Knowhere and then changed it back?

Supposedly, Sony gets 60% of the box-office, so that leaves Disney/Marvel with the remaining box-office and all the merchandise rights, which is where the real money is at. If Civil War does a billion, Sony gets a nice chunk, but Disney/Marvel get a two hour commercial for Spiderman-brand everything, that I'm sure is another billion besides.
Why would Ben Reilly make everybody happy but Miles wouldn't?
Good news everyone, I found Mary Jane. You may thank me later.
Tell Disney/Sony to send the funds directly to your account once she is cast.

What? Sony are getting 60% of the Civil War box office just for letting Spidey appear in it? Are you sure that's right? Even if it's a Spidey movie you're talking about, Disney getting 40% for allowing the Marvel guys to make it for Sony seems like a big take. It's still Sony's project made with Sony's money, after all.

Don't think that's right. I know the 60/40 split was one of the proposals in the leaked Sony emails but according to most of the articles about the final deal, Marvel will be keeping 100% of the Cap revenues, and Sony will be keeping 100% of the Spidey revenues. The only money being exchanged is production fee for Kevin Feige/Marvel.
