The previous article was made before the announced and expected D23, many of us wanted to hear an miraculous announcement about that all things surrounding the “divorce” between Sony Pictures and Marvel/Disney were fixed and even the future of the arachnid was finally cleared, it was not so, I personally remained skeptical, it was very difficult that any settlement were reach in so few days, but hey! Some things were said about it, sadly for some it was that the divorce was confirmed (at least for now).
I’m going to dedicate this article to analyze the arguments of many defenders who see as positive the broken of the agreement between Sony Pictures and Dinsey/Marvel and why the future of Spider-Man looks shadowy once the bridges between Sony Pictures and Marvel are burned:
– Finally Spider-Man will be the independent Peter Parker who makes some right and wrong decisions and will take him on the path to being the hero we deserve! Maybe Marvel made the mistake of making Peter overly dependent on Tony Stark, almost beneath the Tony’s shadow, but you are forget some details: Peter before meeting Tony was already Spider-Man, Homecoming tells how things went before meeting Tony Stark and Peter was already the genius we all know, he made a suit, he was able to design some googles that allowed him to improve the functions of his first suit, Peter also created his famous spider web and made the web shooters and Tony did not influence anything of this, in Far From Home there was no longer Tony Stark and Peter alone had to face a difficult enemy like Mysterio, can we really say then that Holland’s Spider-Man had a strong dependence on Tony Stark? Are you sure about it?
– The Uncle Ben thing, many hated the fact of not seeing Uncle Ben pronouncing his famous phrase “with great power comes great responsibility” and then being killed by a criminal whom Peter could stop and he didn’t, this fact as well we know made Peter decide to dedicate his life to the fight against crime, in his debut at the MCU This important fact was completely ignored, I personally consider that it is indeed something that cannot be ignored in any Spider-Man movie, but because it was ignored does not necessarily mean that didn’t happened, the past of the Peter Parker played by Holland curiously remains in mystery, as we know in Homecoming there was an Aunt May and a Spider-Man so obviously was an Uncle Ben. It really was necessary to kill Uncle Ben again?
– Finally Sony Pictures can make the hyper and super blockbuster Spider-Verse live action movie with Tobey, Holland and Garfield that could include Venom and Carnage, wow, that is to dream big, in my previous article I talk about the history between Spider-Man and Sony Pictures and I mentioned some numbers about the previous adaptations, the trilogy of Raimi and the Reboot starring Garfield were all successful at the box office, but for Sony Pictures were risky adventures, the costs of each film were excessive leaving moderate earnings and the small but significant detail that each box office was in decline, therefore a Spider-Verse live action movie looks very ambitious for Sony Pictures and could even be risky, we also consider that some years must pass until something of this magnitude, others will say: Okay, the Spider-Verse is a very big bite for Sony Pictures right now, how about Maximum Carnage? That other formula could work, perhaps with this Sony Pictures dilemma is solved, but a few years must past before this and between each year and it should happen: The already announced sequel to Venom that will have as a villain Carnage, one or two Spider-Man films where Sony Pictures should explain: where Nick Fury went? Why Aunt May is not Marisa Tomei? Where did M.J (Michelle Jones) go? And who is M.J. (Mary Jane)? What happened to those funny friends of Peter from high school? How did Spider-Man stop being an Avenger? and my favorite: How the hell is Peter going to work at the Daily Bugle if Jameson already knows that he is Spider-Man? For something like Maximum Carnage, Sony Pictures must take several movies out of their sleeves directly related to Spider-Man and Venom, taking for granted two variables: The box office of Venom 2 and the box office of the eventual new Spider-Man movie with Holland.
Personally, I am concerned about this divorce and its sequels since the real loser is Spider-Man, thinking in cold blood: The MCU lived almost 10 years without Spider-Man, the MCU can easily exist without him and the way to a good Spider-Verse movie is shorter and easier if the alliance with Marvel/Disney continues, just imagine Hardy’s Venom and the rest of the Spider-Verse characters fully integrated into the MCU, that would be great! And finally the reactions of this divorce are leaving Sony Pictures like the true arch-enemy of Spidey.

El artculo anterior fue hecho antes del anunciado y esperado D23, muchos deseaban ver algºn anuncio que indicara que de alguna forma milagrosa las cosas entre Sony Pictures y Marvel/Disney se arreglaron y que incluso el futuro del ar¡cnido quedara finalmente despejado, no fue as, yo personalmente me mantuve esceptico, era muy difcil que algºn arreglo ocurriera en tan pocos das, aunque hey, algunas cosas si se dijeron al respecto, tristemente para algunos fue que se confirme (al menos por ahora) el divorcio.
Este artculo lo voy a dedicar a analizar los argumentos de muchos defensores quienes ven como positivo que se haya hecho polvo cesmico (cemo era de suponer) el acuerdo Sony Pictures y Dinsey/Marvel y porque luce sombro el futuro de Spider-Man una vez quemados los puentes entre Sony Pictures y Marvel.
– Al fin Spider-Man ser¡ el Peter Parker independiente que toma decisiones algunas correctas y otras equivocadas y que lo llevar¡ a la senda a ser el heroe que todos merecemos, quiz¡s Marvel cometie el error de hacer a Peter excesivamente dependiente de Tony Stark, casi a la sombra de Tony, pero olvidan algunos detalles, Peter antes de conocer a Tony ya era Spider-Man, Homecoming narra como fueron las cosas antes de conocer a Tony Stark y Peter ya era el genio que todos conocemos, se hizo un traje, pudo disenar unos googles que le permitiera mejorar las funciones de su improvisado primer traje, cree su famosa tela de arana y adem¡s hizo los web shooters y en esto no influye Tony, en Far From Home ya no haba Tony Stark y Peter solo se tuvo que enfrentar a un difcil enemigo como Mysterio, ¿Realmente podemos decir entonces que Spider-Man tuvo una fuerte dependencia de Tony Stark? ¿Seguros de ello?.
– El asunto del To Ben, muchos odiaron el hecho de no ver al To Ben pronunciando su famosa frase “Un gran poder conlleva una gran responsabilidad” y despues ser asesinado por un delincuente al que Peter pudo deterner y no quiso, este hecho como bien sabemos hizo que Peter decidiera dedicar su vida a la lucha contra el crimen, en su debut al M.C.U. Este importante hecho fue ignorado por completo, yo personalmente considero que efectivamente es algo que no puede ignorarse en cualquier pelcula de Spider-Man, pero que fuera ignorado no necesariamente significa que no hubiera pasado, el pasado del Peter Parker interpretado por Holland curiosamente ha sido un misterio, si para Homecoming ya exista una Ta May y un Spider-Man evidentemente hubo un To Ben, as que ¿Realmente era necesario volver a asesinar al To Ben?
– Al fin Sony Pictures podr¡ hacer la mega y super taquillera pelcula de Spider-Verse con Tobey, Holland y Garfield que pudiera inclur a Venom y a Carnage, wow, eso es sonar en grande, en mi anterior artculo hice un breve paseo por la historia de Spider-Man con Sony y mencione algunas cifras de sus anteriores adaptaciones, es decir la triloga de Raimi y el Reboot protagonizado por Garfield y si bien todas fueron exito en taquilla para Sony Pictures fueron aventuras arriesgadas, los costos de cada pelcula fueron excesivos dejando ganancias netas moderadas y el pequeno pero significativo detalle que cada taquilla fue en declive, por tanto una pelcula de Spider-Verse luce muy cuesta arriba para Sony Pictures e incluso pudiera ser hasta arriesgada, consideremos tambien que algunos anos deber¡n pasar hasta concretar algo de esta magnitud, otros dir¡n: Est¡ bien, el Spider-Verse es un bocado muy grande para Sony Pictures ahora, ¿Que tal Maximum Carnage? Esa otra fermula pudiera funcionar, quiz¡s con esto se resuelva el dilema de Sony Pictures, pero igualmente deber¡n pasar algunos anos antes de esto y entre cada ano deberan suceder: La ya anunciada secuela de Venom que tendr¡ como villano a Carnage, una o dos pelculas de Spider-Man donde Sony Pictures explique a dende se fue Nick Fury, ¿Por que ahora la Ta May ya no es Marisa Tomei? ¿A dende se fue M.J (Michelle Jones)? ¿Y quien es M.J. (Mary Jane)? ¿Que pase con esos graciosos amigos de Peter de la secundaria? ¿Cemo deje Spider-Man de ser un Avenger? y mi favorita: ¿Como rayos Peter va a trabajar en el Daily Bugle si ya Jameson sabe que el es Spider-Man? para algo como Maximum Carnage Sony Pictures deber¡ sacar varias pelculas de la manga que esten directamente relacionadas a Spider-Man y a Venom, dando por sentado dos variables, la taquilla de Venom 2 y la taquilla de la eventual nueva pelcula de Spider-Man con Holland.
Personalmente me preocupa el asunto de este divorcio y sus secuelas ya que el verdadero perdedor es la figura de Spider-Man, las reacciones de este divorcio est¡n dejando mal a Sony Pictures y est¡ quedando como el verdadero archienemigo de Spidey y puede costar caro al final y pensando con sangre fra: El MCU vivie casi 10 anos sin Spider-Man, f¡cilmente puede vivir sin el un tiempo m¡s, el camino a una buena pelcula de un Spider-Verse es m¡s corto y f¡cil si se continºa con la alianza con Marvel/Disney, imaginen al Venom de Hardy y el resto de los personajes del Spider-Verse integrados completamente al MCU, !Eso sera grandioso!
