If Venom doesn’t take place in the MCU, this is going to get way too confusing for audiences.

Why...no?
I dont like Sony pushing where characters should go.Quoting Skitch (view post)
Venom doesn’t feel like it fits in the MCU anyhow. I’m 100% against the idea.
At least if Venom were to be considered part of the MCU, the series would have anew “worst movie”.
Wouldn't it be a new Venom anyhow?
How do you suppose they bring the X-Men into this? All new casting? Pre-existing in this world, or does Professor X start it with the Originals?
Yes all new casting but completely different direction.
They will introduce a shared X-Men Villain in a pre-existing franchise, i.e. Mysterio vs The Fantastic Four / Nova
or
Spin villains off from the Spider-man movies i.e. the Sinister Six - and we need new Avengers to defeat them (introduce new characters that way)
or
Dr Doom is the next Thanos and we all march towards introducing Fantastic Four FIRST and spin off Mutant story lines from there.
Why did they bother making the Tom Hardy one?
Because they could. And besides which, it was a pretty big financial hit, and fans tended to mostly enjoy it, so it wound up being a good call on their part. And so long as it exists outside the MCU, I’m personally not at all opposed to its existence.
I'm not either. But the success of that movie just makes Sony drool more over the IPs they still have. And maybe... down the line.... they use it as a negotiation tactic....when Marvel want's to use Spider-man, or Norman Osborn or some other character for the MCU, Sony turns around and says "no because you wouldn't do a Venom crossover with us" and they go back to making their own Spider-man-verse films.
I’m not opposed to it at all. I just don’t understand the logic.
Ethics discussion aside, it makes no sense for anyone to try to work against Disney at this point.
Just let Marvel play with their characters, and roll in the cash.
I wonder how that works.... Sony puts up the money, Marvel controls the writing and directing, and Sony pockets the cash? There must be some kind of revenue sharing right?
Where's Irish I need this explained.
I’m sure both studios are rolling in money.
Which is why I find it so asinine that anyone fights it at this point.
What Disney is doing is ethically gross and dystopian. But pretty sure studio heads don’t have ethics in mind when making these calls.
The Spider-man generic poster onslaught continues:Why do they keep giving Spider-man the worst fucking posters!?
Christ, that first one is staggeringly awful.

“I’ve got an idea”
“Awesome! Cause we’re fresh out! Wadda you got?”
“Okay...are you with me on this? A triangle.”
“...”
“A big, green triangle.”
“So does Mysterio control this triangle? Is it his power creating it?”
“Nope. Spider-Man is holding it!”
“Okay but it is well done, right? Like, this big green CGI triangle is done well and he’s clearly holding it?”
“Not a chance! We’ll photoshop it under a photo of Spidey clenching his fist. It’ll be great.”
“Sold!”
There's literally no reason why that triangle needs to exist in the poster at all. Baffling.
And in the first poster Morris posted, he's got Venice tucked under his arm and London beside him, like some twisted, Jesus-forsaken version of that teleportation ring from the Sonic trailer. And they didn't even let him finish shooting his webbing.
What the fuck all around.

--Homer
Maybe the triangle does have something to do with the plot, or Spidey, Nick and Mysterio are in a dramatic threesome of some kind, heh. But there's no excuse for the half-shot webbing of the other poster. That shit goes to the edge of the page in every Spiderman cover ever published.

It does.
it's the symbol around Mysterio's powers.
This is clearly the best Spider-man poster: https://www.instagram.com/p/BzEzY8mgr1N/ #lefteyemuthafukkah
God I want to have a beer with Sam Jackson.
So what do you guys think? Are they really doing Mysterio as a hero from another Earth? I still think he will be villain.
I think there's two Mysterios.
I’m cool with either.
I’m guessing on the other earth he’s a hero, but his actions and agenda on this earth make him a villain to us.
