Ok, something I've heard that explains a lot about the "why the hell are they making a reboot so soon" thing. Apparently, Columbia is having a pissing match with Marvel Studios and is going to just keep pumping out reboots and sequels in order to hold on to the property and to still get profits off of it all. This is new information to you?

Oh, well, I've been hearing about that since the last Spider-Man movie. I thought everybody knew.

I think it would have been smarter to just make some direct to video crap, rather than fatigue the audience with this mess. Maybe there is a reason why that wouldn't work, though.

Heh. Sorry, I thought that was stuff we'd talked about around here before.

I probably skimmed past that or didn't bother reading the thread in the first place. Or maybe it was discussed before I ever came on to the boards?
