The 2nd season was interesting. But it was pretty predictable, IMO.

The Boys, on Amazon Prime, is worth watching.

Couple newsworthy items today...

Matrix 4 is happening with Keanu and Carrie Ann Moss reprising their roles.

No further Spider Man in the MCU from here on, as Sony and Marvel Studios were not able to come to an agreement on it.

Matrix 4 is a bad idea - the story ended, Neo died, and there was a newly minted peace agreement. Why bring this up again?

Sony is making a mistake. They can't re-use anything that happened within the MCU, they will have to recast and reboot Spider-Man AGAIN if they want to make more movies, and they're going to tank at the box office because nobody wants to see a standalone Spider-Man now that we've all seen him with the rest of Marvel where he belongs. Disney may have been a bit greedy, but Sony really only has two choices now: come back to the table, or waste money figuring out that what I just wrote is true, then sell the whole property to Disney. I truly hope they come back to the table before Disney kills him off in-universe.

Yeah, I don’t agree. I don’t like the decision either but I seriously doubt whatever Sony does from here with the IP tanks. Venom was mediocre at best and still pulled 850M at the box office, The Amazing Spider Man also mediocre did 750M. A Venom/Spider Man movie even with a new casting of Spidey will easily approach if not exceed 1B.

Superhero movies, even bad ones, print money. They have no incentive to cave to Marvel’s demands imo.

Sounds like the announcement may have been premature though. Sony now saying they are still negotiating.

Dark Phoenix lost money. Sony will not make money on future Spider-Man films because a significant portion of MCU fans (the source of 90% of the revenue) will actively avoid it BECAUSE of this news (assuming they don't backpedal right now).

This is how the cautionary tale of "Don't kill the goose that lays the golden egg" plays out in reality.

I could watch anything with Keanu Reeves but another Matrix Movie, same with a 3rd 20 years too late sequel to Bill & Teds Adventure just seems like bad choices and flops in my opinion. I watched about 20 minutes of the Original Bill and Ted about a week ago as it was on TV and I forgot how funny it was especially the comments by Keanu to his co star about his hot (only 4 years older step mom) was pretty damn funny.

I read about the Kevin Feige pulling out of Spiderman films but the disagreement was not (Sony and Marvel) it was Sony and Disney from what I read.
Disney wanted a 50/50 split money on financing the film and Sony balked so Sony is to blame it appears.

It was a bad movie considering all the success Kevin Fiege has had with everything he does Marvel wise. Sony will be regretting that move
