@Kleytus - At least we are going to get a venom and symbiote storyline, unlike the MCU if he were to stay there. I would love to see a new take on the spiderman vs venom storyline especially that we have 2 great actors too.

Also you can't do a spider-verse story in the MCU IMO, and that needs to happen too.

@Humperdink - But no one knows how their films are going to turn out. Sony lent spiderman out to Marvel for 5 films, while interning and working with the MCU's creative team. If Jon Watts and his writers who have experience working within the MCU are launching the Sonyverse it's in capable hands. Sony owns all the characters and storylines so Jon Watts or any other director doesn't have to worry about making a film that has to fit into the MCU. They just have to focus on making good films with their exclusive characters.

Marvel only created a spiderman that worked for the MCU by skating around Peter’s origin and substituting characters that they don’t own like Uncle Ben and Mary Jane Watson. Now that Spiderman has returned home, we can actually see them utilize the full library of the Spiderman characters.

@Humperdink - We all want the best Venom story possible, specially fans of the character.

Looks like Sony is trying their best to pull in the best talent possible, and are not rushing the production, so I'm hopeful their next films can take some steps up on the quality stairs.

@tmp3 -

Why do you want a company to go under, with thousands of jobs being lost, and the film industry to be an even tighter oligopoly?

I personally don't want Sony to fail but a film studios drive should be to make great films not just "be there" to keep Disney from taking over while producing mediocre or terrible films. May as well disappear if that's the case and if they go under it will entirely be their own fault not the public. They're not owed our money and support in spite of the poor decisions they make. The film industry isn't a charity and Hollywood isn't full of saints.

The company should be concerned about the jobs of its employees and make the moves to keep them. If Sony fails on its own merits that means the people who lose jobs will just have to find new ones just like what happens to the rest of us when we're in that situation.

If Tom Rothman is making the same mistakes he did when he was at FOX and Avi Arad is still mishandling the Spider-Man franchise they're doomed to fail Spider-man at the very least.

@tmp3 - Marvel does need Spider-Man just like DC needs Batman they both go together like peanut butter and jelly

@SimplyAz - It's a work-in-progress. I should have an update in place by the weekend (reworking all of the server data caching...)

@Kurne -
Think, rather than insult. Then you'll understand.

Companies baiting people with sequels to secure a sequel happens almost constantly. Want to find out how this concludes? Support it enough and maybe we'll get another series or a sequel or basically any other continuation.

Here is why the MCU continuity is doomed;
Disney can no longer reference, acknowledge or refer to Spider-man in canon in the MCU from the point of the deal seperating.

Spider-man was labelled as an attempted mass murderer, the IRL breakdown of the deal means he has to stay that way. No development, no updates, no fallout.

The natural result of this would be tighter legislation on the heroes coupled with basically a massive distrust forming against heroes. Yet none of this can happen because they cannot acknowledge why it would be happening.

Worse still is that the main hero of the MCU in the publics eyes has just passed from Iron Man to Mysterio. The world wanted a new Iron Man, someone else to look up to. Mysterio delivered that. Sure Iron Man and the Avengers saved them all from the blip, but Mysterio just stopped a fellow hero going rogue and slaughtering all of London.

Mysterio is the foundation of the MCU going forward, when people think of heroes they think of the guy who stopped Spider-man from slaughtering all of London.

How in the absolute frick do you possibly expect them to tackle this in the MCU now that they have lost the rights to Spider-man and the ability to even reference it as happening?

Narratively they have commited suicide they cannot go forward without addressing it. They have wrote themselves into a cliffhanger that fundamentally changes the entirety of the MCU going forward.
