At least you can talk. Who are you?
They were planning on bringing back Gwen's dad too.
Sounds like a mess, glad it never got made.

What is it with movie franchises these days about not giving a fuck about bringing back dead characters.

Have you ever read a comic book? That's all they do.

Yeah I wasn't feeling the Sony pictures hate but they hire completely incompetent people damn.
No wonder they just agreed to let Marvel write it.

I would guess a very large reason Kaz Hirai hasn't axed them yet like he has a lot of their unprofitable divisions is because they own the Spider-Man license. Aside from that they make a bit of money from their Animation division, but the rest of their output is pretty much total dogshit.
Yeah I know and I wanted to add this as well but left it out, since it's a comic (and kids cartoon) thing which has to be banned unless its aimed for kids.

A good reason not to read comics.
But yeah I am not surprised that it would have been a mess, been saying that for years after watching Spider-Man 3 and when Sony announced they were rebooting Spider-Man.
No idea, to this day I still await the day for them to go under.
It's a comic book movie, they bring people back from the dead.
No Sony Pictures is run by incompetent people, the suits were not interested in making a good Spider-Man movie they were interested in shoving as much product placement as possible while doing a terrible job of creating a Spider-Man cinematic universe, even Kaz Hari stuck his oar in during the production of "Amazing" Spider-Man 2.
Sony just did not get Spider-Man from day one and they got lucky with Spider-Man 1 and 2 because Sam Raimi was a Spider-Man fan and actually understood the source material but then Sony started meddling in with Spider-Man 3 and during the production of Spider-Man 4 which pissed him off causing him and the cast to walk out. Not that Sony cared as they had plans to reboot the series after Spider-Man 4, lord knows why, and just brought the plans forwards.

Yup. As someone looking in on the comic book community... Most of the plots I have researched out of curiosity, including those often raved about on GAF, seem mind numbingly stupid.

Comic books bring people back from the dead all the time. Comic book movies don't. They're different mediums. It's acceptable in long form stories like comics and TV, but the threshold for that kinda bullshit is incredibly low in movies. You could get away with a death fakeout within the same movie like Gordon in The Dark Knight or Fury in The Winter Soldier. But straight up killing characters and then bringing them back in the next film would be lame.

What? In the very first Superman movie he went back in time to bring Lois back from the dead.
Also I don't think that the audience are going to care if they bring characters back from the dead in comic book movies just as long it's done well and add something to the movie.
It's not another Spider-Man movie, it's what would have happened had "Amazing Spider-Man not under preformed and Sony continued with their plans.
The only Spider-Man movie that are in the works;
-Spider-Man Homecoming 2
-A stand alone animated Spider-Man movie starring Miles Morale, not connected to the MCU or Homecoming.
Sony is also working on a Venom movie that is connected to Homecoming universe but I wager that they will backtrack on that when it bombs due to it being a stinker.
That's your response to his post?
"That Superman movie from long ago brought someone back from the dead!"
He's absolutely right. There are things done in the comics that wouldnt be as acceptable in comic movies.
He didn't say audiences wouldn't like anyone ever being brought back to life. Just that the threshold for it is lower for moviegoers than comic readers.

Yeah...within the same movie. It's a focal point and emotional moment in THAT film. She didn't die, the film ends, and then he saves her in the next one. And I think they would care quite a bit. As soon as you bring characters back like that, death loses meaning. That's why nobody cares when major comic book characters die now. "Hulk is dead? Oh...so he'll be gone for a few months." That starts cropping up in comic films and the emotional weight of key moments will just fall flat.

There was a whole plotline where Peter's dad was still alive in ASM2 that was cut out in editing. So... yeah, they had no clue wtf they were doing.
It's not. Did you miss the Kevin Feige "sad Affleck" moment and that Amy Pascal changed her statement to that it is its own thing?

It's like I see it...but I still don't believe it... Why did they even think to try this smh....So glad Spidey is back with Holland. I already know Venom will be a fiasco smh.
The fact that they gave it forethought just makes it more terrible.
It'll be interesting to see how they burn the whole thing down again.
He could just downsize the division quite a bit in order to get rid of these incompetent douchebags at the helm of this huge division.
Is it that hard? I don't get it.
I mean...literally EVERYONE sees how incompetent and useless they're.

Sony Pictures is literally the worst film studio in the world.

Wasn't Spider-man supposed to join the Sinister Six for their movie? Like, not as an antagonist to the group, but an actual member?
Only if they give Tartakovsky his Popeye movie.

Nah. Sony Pictures Classics has put out so much good shit.
Is this the "surprise" that was supposed to be in the room in the movie? I don't remember how that thing turned out.
