Like DC and the once-unstoppable Marvel, Sony is now finding itself in under the gun to reevaluate how it makes comic book movies.

Now finding…”? Now?!

I mean, the Raimi movies are looked back on pretty fondly and made millions. Spider Man 3 may not have reviewed the best, but it still made $895M at box office, which is an enviable sum today, almost 20 years later.

Sure, and without Sony paying for the rights and making them, there would be no Iron Man.

But it’s time to recognize that Sony does not have the skill and commitment required to make a Sinister Six or Spider Women multi-movie franchise.

NASA spent millions trying to make a pen work in space

They (DC) will probably spin this as a teachable moment around “re-evaluating the corporate direction”

The US spent alledged millions, and when completed the Soviets bought the thing by the container.

Yeah, I’ve heard the retort that the U.S. spent millions on those pens, but the soviets just used pencils… which ignores the problem of the graphite dust that’s created using pencils which can destroy delicate circuits in a spacecraft.
