Why choose THIS character? This is the most baffling thing to me. Who the f*** ever wanted a Madame Web movie? You could ask 1,000 Marvel fans which Spider-Man side character should get a movie and I am willing to bet the amount of people who said Madame Web would be zero. Even if they were... and let's say they were the biggest fans of her from her Appearances in the 90's Spider-man show... they'd still be disappointed because the character in this movie... is not the same character. Hell it's not even the same character as the newer one that's been in the comics...

They should really get ballsy and do a Peter Parker-less Ben Reilly movie.

They should really get ballsy and do a Peter Parker-less Ben Reilly movie. Only if it's 100% faithful to The Lost Years But it's Sony. They'll make one about Traveller.

Sony does produce good movies. Hell, they even produce well-received CBM's like the Tom Holland Spidey The production of those movies is well-documented. Sony had almost no involvement beyond financing and distributing them, and having final creative control, which by all accounts they chose not to invoke.

My wife and I currently the only ones in the theater for a 230 showing. When I got tickets only the back row was even sold, I'm looking forward to this mostly because we used a gift card

Okay if this movie isn't getting anymore sequels, they can just have Sydney Sweeney play the lead in a Jackpot movie.

Holden Hardman posted a video of he and Jen (his wife) showing up to see this movie, but all showings of it were canceled for the day.

For a crazy comparison point this thing only made $3 million more in its opening weekend than Elektra.

Decided to go ahead and see it, a IMAX screening no less
I can usually like and enjoy movies most people say are bad. And will usually make excuses and find the good parts about a movie most will criticize. But..wow this was hard. The tone and feel of the movie made me think of it as more as a made for tv movie.
I understand Sony wants to keep the rights to Spiderman and other characters in the franchise but why can't they just let Marvel make the movies and just slap there name on it instead?

The first two Tom Holland movies were made under a deal like that. Marvel Studios made the movies and Sony funded and distributed them, with Sony keeping 95% of the profits. No Way Home almost didn't happen because Disney felt they should have more than 5% for doing all the work, while Sony disagreed. Eventually they came to an agreement where Disney paid 25% of the production and kept 25% of the box office, but – as always – there's rumblings that neither side is especially happy with that deal, with both apparently wanting a bigger piece of the pie. It obviously seems like a no-brainer to me. Morbius bombed. Madame Web is somehow bombing even harder. Venom makes money but they've only got Tom Hardy for one more movie. 50-75% of whatever a Feige-made Spider-Man movie is better than losing money... but this is Sony we're talking about. Common sense is not high.

Surely it is more profitable for them to just sell the rights to Disney by now.
After Kraven inevitably flops, what is their next attempt going to be? A Scorpion movie?

The others presently announced are Sinister Six, Nightwatch, Jackpot, El Muerto (they uncancelled it last month for some idiot reason), and Hypno-Huster. I really wonder how long they're going to keep doubling down because they keep losing money on this and every one of them is a punchline at this point. They can't possibly dig themselves out of the hole they're in at this juncture.

But of course, this is Sony so given the trackrecord, it isn't going to be competent hands. I thought you were joking about Hypo-Hustler, but I just checked and it's legit. LOL is there a single person on the planet calling out for a Hyno-Hustler movie? He's a completely D-list villain. In fact, he's below D-LIst. He's a non-entity.
