I love the MCU but Spiderman is meh. Rebooting him for an entirely new movie headed by Sony again is even more meh.
I hope they go the Hulk route and just do his origin rapid-fire in the credits...as if nobody already knows what spiderman's origin is.
This is my hope too, we really don't need another origins story. I think they can more than just throw him into an end credits, say maybe Ant-Man so that can set him up in the Civil War movie. Though it's likely he'll be introduced in the Civil War movie.
I'd rather they didn't delay the other movies or release a full on spidey movie tbh.
Yeah that's what I was referring too, he'll likely have his "rushed story" in one of those movies before his solo film. I hate that they're postponing everything else for his story, but since all those movies are so far away from now I'm sure people will get over the change.
That's one of the reasons why I don't like this. Another is that I prefer having Spider-man being on his own, Spider-man like the X-Men are better off on their own since in Spider-man's case, most of his stories focus on him dealing with his own problems and that kind of rubs off when he teams up with people that fought gods, in the X-Men's case, most of their stories focus on prejudice and acceptance, and it doesn't work well with the Avengers and Spider-man. Sure you might think that this is going to be great for the MCU but this is going to shit even more on Spider-man and his incorporation in MCU may cause problems.
This is exactly how I feel. Spider-Man is interesting because he's a young man dealing with grown-up responsibilities, his girlfriend, his job, caring for his aunt, etc. None of that meshes with the collaborative nature of the MCU, and what I feel to be the very shallow, cartoony nature of the Marvel movies. X-Men has always been about the allegory, and if you think the MCU cares about that, you're fooling yourself. It's never been about more than action and beating up bad guys.
They can still pull that off in his own story in 2017. I am kinda worried what they mean by "fresh take" on the character
