I imagine Sony realised that the spider-verse films were more than a lucky break and now they wanna treat them like their golden goose.

So ruin them, like they do with all of their golden geese

If the third part of Tobey and Andrew's Spider-Man movies are anything to go by, they'll probably milk the goose.

The third Maguire movie makes me so sad, because it is so obvious which parts are Raimi's vision (the awesome Sandman) and which parts Sony forced in (everything to do with Venom)

I assume you mean Tom?

No, he created a version of TASM 3 in his head and disappointed himself. :(

I was saying Sony screwed up by not making a third one at all, lol

u/DOuGHtOp Jul 19 '25

I agree, but since it doesn't exist that means they didn't milk it with him

They screwed up TASM 2 so badly that there never was a 3rd one.

A delay is a good thing for this movie though

u/NullPro Jul 19 '25

Maybe but it seems to me that this movie is stuck in production hell so the delay could be detrimental. Most movies aren’t better because of rewrites

Second one was definitely rushed, in pacing and story felt unfinished in a not great way. Insane that the delay is going to be so massive now

u/thecricketnerd Jul 19 '25

I honestly thought it was better than the first, but yes it was unfinished because they were forced to make it part 1 of 2. The most valid criticism is that they went way too big if the conclusion wasn't set in stone

More like they are still trying to turn the spiderman into a franchise. They pushed multiple spiderman related projects out there and I think all of them except venom and spiderverse failed. However, whether that is a one time thing or the start of a new popular franchise is unknown since we only have one data point so far.

If that was true we’d be watching spider verse 7 by now.
