Will the Goblin attach itself to Uncle Ben's dead body and mysteriously gain two supernatural abilities?

That wanted my money, and found a way to get it.

Didn't they already shoot a bunch of deleted scenes with another actress as MJ?
I still don't understand how they managed to pull some talent like Genny Tartakovsky and then use him for Hotel Transylvania...
He would have been the perfect director for some tentpole action franchise. But no, he has to make HT and gets a canned Popeye project.
And I still don't understand how within all this madness, MiB/21 Jumpstreet didn't happen.
That was so insane as an idea that it would have worked.

Wow that sounds awful, especially the Norman Osbourne frozen thing head. Good god these people had no idea what they were doing.
Have you actually seen Gifted? I thought it was pretty good.
Genndy chose Hotel Transylvania, that and he only worked as animation director anyway. The Popeye fell apart, same with MiB / 21 Jumpstreet, which I believe is technically still listed as being in development, but hasn't gotten made yet.

The best thing Sony can do is make a Superior Foes of Spider-man film.

I liked the first two movies and personally think Andrew Garfield was more charismatic than Maguire or Holland.

Shailene Woodley of Divergent fame.
Her scenes were shot, cut, then promised to be included in the next film.

No I don't think they ever explain how he survived the plane crash.
Huh. Is this an easter-egg in the previous film?

After how bad SM3 was and given what we knew about SM4, I'm not sure that would have been better.

Ahaha...I watched this scene on youtube. They even forced the "great responsibility" quote in. What a shit show.
SM3 was fine, all the hate is just people rewriting history, it was fresh on RT and a lot of people were trying to pass it off as the worst movie ever.
The 3.1 cut alone fixed half the problems the movie had.

No, I've noticed the trend in other movies as well. But if we're going to talk about superhero comics, there seems to be significantly more stories in-between comic book deaths and resurrections which can help in making them feel somewhat consequential.

Oh yeah. It's not like an old property could gain new fans or anything...heavens no. Also they had someone who knew the character as the director too, it would be solid.
Uh, no. Your post is rewriting history. Spider-Man 3 was shit on by fans when it released. It's a terrible movie. ASM2 managed to be even worse, of course.
Also, your RottenTomaotes argument is a bit silly. It's barely fresh at 63%, which was a drop from Spider-Man 2's 94%.
(Also, no. Spider-Man 3.1, a version of the movie that was released 10 years later, does not "fix half the problems." It's still a bad movie.)
It was one movie that happened after Raimi made the best Superhero movie ever, it wasn't some pattern, Marvel made IM2, IM3, Thor, Thor 2, and Avengers 2, all were shit as well. And I happen to like SM3 more than those (except for Thor 1).
The ASM franchise was a waste of everyone's time.
My hot take: Spider-man 3 isn't a great film, but it's not a bad one either. It's disappointing because it's inconsistent, overstuffed, and underdeveloped compared to its predecessors and so much of it was studio-mandated (such as cramming Venom in against Raimi's wishes).
But Spider-man 3 also has some great moments too, some of the franchise's best I'd even say. The birth of Sandman is perfection. The black suit and the way they did the symbiote was excellent and the church scene is phenomenal. Several performances are quite solid and the action is really great (especially the initial Sandman fight).
It's easily the weakest of the three, and it does barely skirt the edge of "Fresh" for me too, and there are PLENTY of scenes I hate, but it also has many great moments. It's horribly inconsistent, but much of the hate is definitely overblown. Spider-man 3 is disappointingly average, and compared to its top-tier predecessors for many that might as well be garbage.

Don't know about you guys, but I would have absolutely loved a Sinister Six film.

So Peter would've brought Captain Stacy back but not Gwen or Uncle Ben?

Nobody is interested in Popeye in 2017 just like no one is interested in Smurfs in 2017. Genndy would have been wasting his talents on this project just like with Hotel Transylvania 2.

Absolutely insane how much was cut and changed in the ASM movies.
The original Thor was actually fairly well received overall when it came out. It's a better movie than Spider-Man 3. And I think Iron Man 3 is great, so, no. But IM3 is simply a divisive movie. Calling it "shit" just isn't true.
And no, Avengers 2 isn't "shit." It was disappointing, It had a number of issues. It wasn't a disaster like Spider-Man 3 or ASM2 that have multiple scenes so bad it becomes funny to watch because of it.
I can't believe there are Spider-Man 3 defenders at this point. I was in denial too when it came out, being such a huge Spider-Man fan,
At least they're not fucking up Spider-Man anymore
Is that Silvermane? They really brought him back? That comic where he reverse ages and fades into a zygote was classic though
It was going to have a scene with Bruce Campbell as Mysterio, there's no way that wouldn't have been better than ASM.
... Could we petition them to still do this for the next Spider-man film?

Wasn't there rumors that Sony wanted Bella Thorne to play MJ in another movie?
AlphaSnake
...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
Upon rewatching Spider-Man 3 and then 3.1...SM3 wasn't as bad as I remembered. And 3.1 makes the movie quite a bit better. It went from a 70-ish movie, to an 80-ish movie.
If they cut out the overly cheesy emo-Parker and dancing Parker scenes (including the piano and dance scene at MJ's job) it would have been high 80s to me. SM3 was/is fixable - it just needs some pointless fluff cut out.
Amazing 1 and 2 were simply shit. Nothing could save those two.

While this is indeed stupid, I feel compelled to comment on the "typical comic book" comments.
I mean, yeah, that's typical for superhero comics. The outlandish plots and secret twin/body double twists straight out of a soap opera. But just like film, television, and literature, there are lot of different genres of comic books, and they don't look or read like superhero books. The "lol, comics," brigade need to at least understand that "comics" is not a singular genre, or style, but a diverse medium that covers a ton of styles and genres.
Anyway, Sony producers are fucking stupid, and have no idea what to do with Spider-Man. Homecoming was a delightful movie, and I hope they don't fuck this up somehow. They have a character with 50-60 years of history and stories to mine, and they pull this crap. It really shouldn't be this hard to adapt a superhero to the big screen. Especially one as well loved as Spider-Man.

What what? How would that be even remotely possible?

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Is this true? I thought I remembered that a discussion was had to bring Gwen back to life as well.
Watch as it's revealed that Gwen and Mary Jane were twins separated at birth or something.
... Though, to be honest, I always felt Emma was better suited for MJ than Gwen.
I remember hearing rumors that Sony was going to try and get her back for a Spider-Gwen spin-off too.

Looks like Marvel locked up all the good screenwriters?
Warner, Fox and Sony are basically doing fan fiction screenplays.
