VIDEO: Parody ASPCA Ad with Marvel Characters

Ha, good stuff

I admire the activist spirit, but I'd be surprised if 10% of the audiences of Spider-Man or X-Men or Fantastic Four actually know the difference between Marvel Studios and Marvel characters by other studios. It's basically the same Marvel logo that comes up either way. If Amazing Spider-Man made 10% less money, Sony wouldn't have dropped the franchise and failed to reboot it in 5 years...

I think the best bet is that Fox just screws up colossally (pun not intended) with their franchises and let the contracts lapse (they already did it with Daredevil and came close to doing it with FF).

As for Sony... they seem to be too much on the ball to ever let that happen. Spidey is all they have, so they won't stop making them unless they stop making money (and that doesn't seem likely, as Spidey is unquestionably top-tier no matter how mediocre the films). There may be some possibility if Amazing Spider-Man doesn't do quite as well as they want it to and Sinister Six/Venom doesn't work out that Sony might sell the rights (ideally back to Marvel) for some ridiculous amount of money like 3 billion dollars. Would Marvel pay that much? I genuinely don't know. Might Fox pay more? I think that's a real possibility.

This isn't the only place I tell people what I do and why I do it . So until something changes I will keep doing what I am doing .
