I feel like I shouldn't have to say much about the topic of trying to drive people to suicide, it should be a no-brainer to not egg people on in such a way. Especially for something as petty as wanting a character in a video game or maining a character in a game. Let alone for some teenager. Especially after the passing of a community member that many people felt attached to.
But people will always want to act up I guess.
I see that as Sam Raimi's credit rather than Sony's. After all, SM3 and the Amazing Spider-Man movies also happened, and a lot of those decisions were the producers meddling. Plus, this is a Tom Rothman era. Considering how he handled X-Men while he was president of Fox, yeah...
Also what's Amy Pascal's position on all this? She's also a producer of these movies and she doesn't work for Sony anymore.
Oh for sure, Raimi and his team are the guys who put in the real work. The fact SM3 had ANY good parts at all, was likely due to said team. I guess I was just venting a bit since I felt the MCU Spider-Man movies were fine, but not my favorite. I like Holland in the role, so I hope the films will get better and better with or without the MCU. And I see people getting all uppity about this version or that version. But that'll happen to every one once in a while.
Though none of the movies got a version of Peter Parker that's 100% like the comics. Not enough literal thuggery.
I just wanted my damn Spider-Man/X-Men stuff. And some sick Marvel games. That's what I wanted from these crossover movies and we're getting jebaited from it.
Though it's been only a day, so we'll see how these developments change.
