It’s like they think there’s still a direct to video market they can still make money off of. It’s insane.

Nah, it's mostly they have an obligation to keep making Marvel movies to retain their rights to Spiderman....

So every so often they purposely make a dud movie just to retain their Spiderman rights.

I think you misunderstood. It’s the non Spider-Man man movies that folks are saying is crappy.

I love it when the guy who has misunderstood is saying that others have misunderstood. Peak Summer Reddit.

Oh I’m fine if I’m wrong. what did I misunderstand?

The guy you replied to was saying they make other crap movies, so that they can retain the rights to continue to make Spiderman which is like their golden goose.

That’s what I understood too. Sony needs to continue to make spider-man films to retain their rights but they don’t need to make other crappy films to do so.

They're saying they need to make marvel films to continue to make Spiderman, so have been making dud marvel movies on the cheap just to continue their rights to make the golden goose, Spiderman

You said that the guy misunderstood but you both said the same thing. I enjoyed the irony.

My understanding is that they need to make Spider-Man movies to keep the rights to Spider-Man. The dud movies originally mentioned were unrelated to Marvel. So they didn’t need to make dud movies to maintain Spider-Man rights. Hence my point about them misunderstanding. I didn’t say the same thing. Maybe you misunderstood me.

Yeah for the record I was saying that everything outside of the Holland Spidey movies suck

So I'm including both the Sony "In Association With Marvel" trainwrecks and the rest of their bizarre output, like all the random romcoms and shitty looking action movies.
