Kevin Feige and Tom Holland are 100% right and I'm on their side. I really want this next Spider-Man movie to be a grounded street level story for the character and I don't want both of his movies from no way home to Spider-Man 4 to be back-to-back massive crossover events because that just sucks all the magic out of them. Sony is just taking the lazy and worst route by trying to repeat the success of no way home and it's going to be the downfall of his Spider-Man if Kevin Feige and Tom Holland can't save this. Sony continue to make the worst imaginable choices for the Spider-Man character and his rogue's gallery. Sony.... For the Love of All That is Holy, can they just give the live-action rights to Spider-Man back to Marvel because what the actual hell are they doing? They can keep the animated right so they can keep making masterpieces with the spider verse movies but these live action movies are insults to cinema and honestly I don't think the comic book genre can survive Sony's mishandling of these characters.

[@marcamusprime9513]

Something different would be nice; but the audience might see a story on a smaller scale as being unimportant. They're probably going to do Spider Island, or something crazy like cross over the Web Warriors into live action and fight the Inheritors. They're kind of setting that up with Madame Web.

[@superherofan5819]

I completely agree. I said what you said a million times already. It's only a matter of time.

[@sterlingprince2025]

I agree with the street level crime fighting, but it's a hallow shell to do so. Of the three Spiderman, Holland was an avenger, fought Thanos, was dusted, revived and fought Thanos again, saving the multiverse in its own way... the other two don't compare. At all. Even a little. They're just butt plugs in comparison. After the last spiderman movie, Holland has not only fought Thanos, he fought all the previous spider billions that couldn't even stand in Thanos shadow... so... wtf is the argument? Where's the comparison?

[@clintdeangelis5082]

While I agree with the need for a more grounded film, I understand where Sony's coming from. They think that a multiversal film will bring in a billion plus dollars at the box office, while most of these other films are a bit more of a gamble. The problem is it doesn't mean that most of us really want to see it even IF we pay for it. The only thing that it would prove is that we want to see another Spider-Man film.

[@themanofshadows]

Agreed.

[@carinahatlevoll153]

I have thought that since morbius but looks like they are afraid off the Andrew fans to do so. Because they going on sony to have him inn venom 3 and media and KZbin chanels dont help only doing it worst. Like the madam webb crew told us that baby Andrew Peter and baby toms Peter was allways meant to ve inn that movie but they dident do a good timeline check on there timeline thats it. But off course Andrew fans was Just like tom stole it again. I hate it

[@kaassoufflex9023]

The ideal solution, I think, would be for Sony to let Marvel studios handle the direction of their spider-verse. Have there be more connective tissue between the projects. Honestly I think both studios would benefit greatly. They could make Knull a big bad.

[@carinahatlevoll153]

Agree

[@brokeoshi]

Since Venom knew who Spiderman was but Eddie didnt...would be a good opportunity to Make Eddie's universe the same universe as the new Ultimate Spiderman comic that just came out. Reed Richards prevented Peter's spider bite in that universe until Tony fixed it. Could work with an "older" Andrew Garfield variant.

[@ethandoyle4978]

Now that sounds like a great idea

[@carinahatlevoll153]

I have thought it was miles ever since morbius and it explain why venom dont have heard off him yet

[@Zombiesnyder13]

The reason why the original trilogy and TASM1 were memorable, was because of the producer LAURA ZISKIN It was because of her and her husband (the screenwriter Alvin Sargent) that the movies had depth Unfortunately, she died in 2011, during the production of TASM1 Without her, there was no one left to stop AVI ARAD from ruining everything Spider-Man was nothing without her

A theory I heard was that Vulture wasn't misplaced by Doctor Strange, but by the events of "Into the Spider-Verse". In "Across the Spider-Verse", Miguel's task force is finding and capturing villains misplaced by the super collider in the first movie, the first one we see being a version Vulture!

Will never forgive them for not making Carnage rated R, and on top of that killing him off. Maybe hopefully can see him again via multiverse

[@doomduck9826]

Your pitch sounds awesome, and if I were a movie exec (surprise, I'm not) it would have been a fantastic plan. Plus, since you start with Venom Kraven and Morbius movies that stand alone fairly well without needing to feel like they're just a set-up for the team-up. It also succeeds in making Carnage a big-bad, which is a major issue with the current version losing so easily.

They could use one of the scarlet spiders. Ben or Kane They will be perfect for a darker universe as spider man

[@khandimahn9687]

Sony needs to just let go, at least with the live action movies. At this point Venom feels more like a fluke, and what could have been, if they had their shit together. Whoever is handling their Marvel movies isn't doing a good job. And with the animated movies... a hands off approach, just let the animators do what they want, they clearly know what they're doing.

[@slospop1125]

For me in these spider-man villain movies, I was looking forward to seeing them actually be villains. Example I think Morbius could've been so much better if they went all in on turning Morbius into this Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde character, with the Vampire half being a monster that feeds on civilians and human half trying to stop it. In the end Vampire would conquer the human half and continue to go off and feed on innocent people (post credit scene being a tease to venom or spider-man tracking down Morbius).

So much of what you want is interesting from a writing perspective, an art perspective. But the money determines that, not the art. There won't be more Morbius because it flopped so hard.

[@ibatman82]

Great work Colton, filmimg studios should reach to truly connoisseurs as you guys !!!

[@AustynSN]

With the introductions of Madam Webb and the "Web of life and Destiny", I'd like to see the Sony Spider-Manless universe explore why there is no Spider-Man and the consequences of that fact. Introduce the fact that there is *supposed* to be a Spider-Man, but that for some reason there isn't. Actually, now that I've typed it all out, it would make a lot of sense if it was revealed that the Spider-manless universe is the Earth-42 that Miles is in at the end of "Into the Spider-Verse".

[@WithFearGaming]

Bring back Andrew Garfield. That's my answer to this problem. Garfield can reference the events of No Way Home if SONY still wants to drop teasers, while also having his own story where he's given a second chance at being Spiderman. The fan base is there. The interest is there. He's not too old. Make it happen, SONY.

[@wutdadeal3]

Damn, that's a good idea 💡 for both Morbius and Venom What I don't think people realized was that if Andrew Garfield did an awesome job in the MCU, HE wasn't the problem in "The Amazing Spider-Man" duology...it was the writing and directing. Hence, Sony not knowing what they're doing with live action Spider-Man without Kevin's input/help.

[@siriswarrior]

When venom talked about the hive mind, I assumed he was referring to Knull

[@that.canadian.vaper.guyTCVG]

I kept saying this since No Way Home first released, but we need a major Spider-Man 4. And I mean a *SPIDER. MAN. FOUR.* Sony wants Spider-Man so bad? With the popularity of Spider-Man and Andrew Garfield after No Way Home, they could have EASILY allowed Andrew Garfield to finish HIS trilogy, as the only Live Action Spider-Man not to have a complete trilogy. Connect it the Venom-verse, LET Andrew Garfield Spider-Man fight HIS alien and it just happened to be the same alien that Tobey Maguire Spider-Man fought, but this time it's Tom Hardy's giant Venom and not Tobey's skinny Eric Forman Venom. With Venom in the Venom-verse teasing the multiverse, this would be a great way to connect the dots as Andrew Garfield just returned from the MCU, was hinted with fighting Venom by Tobey and now has to fight his own universes version of Venom. THEN you cap it all off with *SPIDER-MAN 4* as the 4th installment of EVERY Live Action Spider-Man that even features a cameo from Into The Spider-Verses Miles Morales' Spider-Man to defeat the Multiversal Sinister Six. Who could be the villain? Mysterio, Rhino, Kraven, Doc Ock, Electro, Sandman, Shocker, Carnage, Venom, The Lizard, Ned's version of the Hob Goblin, The Green Goblins both Harry and Norman. But the main force behind this Multiversal event could either be Kingpin or give us a variant of Mysterio that ACTUALLY knows magic in his universe and is the Sorcerer Supreme. Ultimately taking his universes role as their Dr Strange and causing the Spider-Verse to become unstable and we see it collapse. That is if you want another Multiversal event from Spider-Man. This is what I want from another huge Spider-Man film, it would be too much like fan fiction, but I don't care lmao.

Also should have explored all symbioses in a trilogy saga where Venom loses badly in part 1 or 2 like Empire Strikes back.

Colton, you're a genius. You should be working for Sony or Marvel or even DC. You are dead on. That Kraken story is one of the most memorable stories that I remember from my childhood.

The best thing that could happen to the spiderman IP would be if Sony relinquished the rights and vowed not to ever make another spiderman movie again. As an apology to the fanbase they could release a short clip with jared Letto waking up and realizing Mobius didn't really happen, it was all a dream.

[@calliesummers1943]

Wait, Dr. Strange's spell made everyone across the multiverse forget that Peter Parker exists and is Spiderman. That applied to villains in other universes. They made so many jokes about all three being named Peter Parker, so wouldn't their universes' friends and families have forgotten them too? Stephen really is the biggest threat to the multiverse. (Good news for Miles, Spider-Gwen, and all the non-Peters, though, I guess.)

[@bradasstv]

That was really good. Always bugs me though cause you will find theories like videos on this channel and others that really get into the story and try to predict what everything means (see trailer breakdowns before Morbius) and the stuff you guys come up with is light-years ahead of what actually happens. Sometimes wish these movie studios would get their head out of their butts and hire people who know the stories, even just as consultants to make their movies make sense...
