Sony's SSMU Movies May Be Limiting The Number Of SPIDER-MAN Villains Available To Marvel Studios

@clintthahamster - Agreed. They should just make the same deal with all the adjacent characters as they did with Spiderman. MCU has creative control and can use in their universe. Sony gets to distribute and keep most profits. Seems like a win win.

@TheVisionary25 -

Obligatory reminder that none of these turds would be coming out today, had it not been for certain folks and their spite back in 2018 to prove that the MCU is just "not that good" and that Avi Arad is "not that bad".

@DrReedRichards - lol perhaps

I still haven’t seen any of these films in theaters ( or in terms of Morbius and Madame Web , at all thus far)

Didn’t care for the first Venom and thought the sequel was a bit worse thus have no interest in the third one.

Instead of doing these , they should have been doing stuff like they are doing with Spider Man Noir that Lord & Miller are involved with

Do their alternate take on the Spider heroes imo.

@TheVisionary25 -

I've honestly yet to watch Carnage, and I'm actively avoiding both Morbius and Madame Web. I can't respect that mere existence of those shitstains, even as memes of mockery.

The whole treatment of "so bad it's good" as allegedly better than "meh" explains so much.

@TheVisionary25 -

Best case scenario, it does well. Worst case scenario, it does horribly but survives as a meme, which will be more than enough for Sony to move on with it regardless.

I honestly don't see any timeline branch where that movie doesn't happen, and that is because I don't see a universe where Sony finally becomes sane.

@DrReedRichards - I completely agree on the individual with an advanced degree in trolling!

@ShamusG -

When done amicably, trolling can be a work of art. Funny memes are the best kind of memes.

Memes that are used for the sake of subtlety, however, as in treating incel Joker quotes or Bully Maguire edits like actual role models... yeah, no. Those are cancerous by definition.

@JFerguson -

I f#ckin' hate how much I admire Ryan Gosling.

Obvious exaggaration,but you get what I mean. The dude can do anything acting-wise with insane range and ease, looks like he's photoshopped (Emma's words, not mine), is happily married to Eva Mendes, can play all kinds of music music from easy guitar to tough violin, and they also say he's a great sport behind the camera, always friendly and respectful to the crew?

Do something wrong, God dammit!

@DrReedRichards - it’s like Chris Hensworth

Dudes good looking , can act , is funny and apparently can carry a tune too (also is very nice apparently aswell).

Like leave something for the rest of us man!!.

@DrReedRichards - do not donate to Israel, Avi Arad is a horrible person, and the chosen ones can rot in hell for all I care.

@Malatrova15

@bobevanz - "Don't trust everything you hear, listen to both sides and you'll find the truth in the middle."

Nah. One side is spinning facts in their favor, for sure, but the other is lying outright, repeatedly, demonstrably. One side lies so much, so often, with such ease, that fact checkers literally can't keep up. Hopefully those turds will be flushed once and for all after November.

@clintthahamster - The side who said that Kamala Harris was never border czar is certainly lying. Or how elites choosing a candidate rather than the people is “saving democracy”. That’s a lie. Tim Waltz saying he served in combat was a lie. Those that said that the COVID vaccine stopped you from catching or spreading it was a lie. Or that COVID was a threat to children. Another lie. Anyone that says that a male can be a female is lying. Or that inflation is caused by corporate greed and not bad government policy. Another lie.

Like bro. Both sides lie and your side is evil. So is the other one. But go ahead and think your on the side of the good guys. It’s not true but apparently that view makes you feel better.

@mountainman - "The side who said that Kamala Harris was never border czar is certainly lying."

There is no position called border czar. It is also factually true that Harris was primarily tasked with addressing the root causes of migration. That said, the DNC has downplayed the fact that Harris was also tasked with the vague mission of "stemming migration." Spinning facts in their favor.

"Or how elites choosing a candidate rather than the people is “saving democracy”"

Harris was elected Vice President of the United States, with the understanding that she would act as president if Biden were unable to serve. Setting that aside, the alternative to the DNC coalescing around a single candidate without a primary is not significantly different from the alternative, a brokered or open convention, where DNC leadership would pick a candidate at the convention. Neither option involves a direct vote from individuals in state-level primaries, but of course we know that it's far too late for another round of primaries to take place prior to the convention. The good news is, if any state delegates object, they can still vote their conscience at the convention.

"Tim Waltz saying he served in combat was a lie."

He misspoke, one time, 6 years ago. He's apologized for misspeaking publicly and repeatedly. But if we're going to hold politicians accountable for things they slipped up and said one time during a speech, I have a LOT of questions about Donald Trump.

"Those that said that the COVID vaccine stopped you from catching or spreading it was a lie. Or that COVID was a threat to children. Another lie. Anyone that says that a male can be a female is lying."

I have work to do today (for once) so I don't have time to try to explain, again, the nuances of public health policies, vaccine efficacy, or modern gender science to someone who is flatly not interested in learning anything new.

"Or that inflation is caused by corporate greed and not bad government policy."

Anyone that says that inflation has a single cause doesn't know what they're talking about, it's true. It's also true that a single study has found that corporate greed wasn't a "Major" or "Primary" cause of inflation, but does not rule it out as a contributing factor.

"Both sides lie and your side is evil."

You will not catch me defending the DNC, Biden, or even Harris on many, many policies. Both are "hard on crime" moderates who are responsible for locking up low level drug offenders. Biden shut down Anita Hill's ethics complaints about Clarence Thomas, effectively ensuring the confirmation of the most conservative justice in recent memory. But the DNC is the center-Right party that is willing to build a coalition with the moderate Left, whereas the GOP is the center-Right parth that is willing to build a coalition with the radical Right.

And, circling back to "saving democracy," it's certainly possible that Democracy as we understand it in the US would survive a second Trump presidency. But a candidate that tells his supporters they won't have to vote ever again if he is elected president; that says he'd be a dictator for a day if he's reelected; who has openly and repeatedly undermined confidence in the American electoral system, despite no evidence of meaningful fraud; who has openly praised and expressed admiration for autocrats and dictators . . . setting aside the fact that the party who's ticket he's on regularly brags about voter suppression, who resists efforts to end partisan gerrymandering, and who have only won the popular vote once in the last 8 elections, that is a candidate that is a threat to democracy. That's not exaggeration. That's fact.

@mountainman - Again. I'm not a fan of Harris, but I will happily vote for her because she is slightly to the left of her opponent.

It's [frick]ing hilarious, though, that you're accusing me of regurgitating the party line, then calling the DNC "anti-democratic." Lord.
