If this falls through, Marvel is just going to have to introduce the totally new and completely unrelated character Night Monkey into the MCU. Played by Tom Netherlands, some new up and coming actor I recently heard of for the very first time.

"Sooner or later, humans will kill all the Aen Seidhe. All dwarves and gnomes. Then they'll start murdering one another. Your kind knows no other way. It's in your genes. You keep killing each other until only one remains. The strongest among you. A thousand years from now, a dim-witted human barbarian will climb to the top of a pile of bones, sit down and proclaim: "I win"."

I thought Night Monkey was the alter ego of Leopold Fitz.

He's dead, Jim.

Going by all the reports I've seen these past few days, the Sony/Disney deal seems to be done for good, or at least for the foreseeable future.

So, I guess that means eventually we're gonna need a new Spider-Man movie thread outside of the main MCU sub-forum.

Ugh! Seriously, people?! Disney, stop being such a bunch of grreedy bastards! Sony, please don't mix Tom Holland's amazing Spider-Man in with your venom crap! He's too important for the MCU!

Why can't we all just get along?

Exactly. Disney already makes 100% of the profits from Spider-Man merchandise, not to mention how much money they make from their other IPs (ie. Star Wars), they don't need 50% of Spider-Man film gross.

I just heard today that there is a possibility that Sony offered Disney/Marvel the 30% & rights to Spider-Man if they'd also put Venom in the MCU. So, the negotiating may not be as over as it sounds.

I'll argue from the other side.

How much do you think a new Spiderman franchise from Sony would have grossed if Spiderman wasn't in the MCU?

No Iron Man, no Happy, no Fury, no Hill, no story line containing any of the MCU's history.

While Disney getting 50% was probably never in the cards (50% is just as ridiculously high as 5% is low), my guess is Sony is still going to generate more money from the franchise with a Disney deal than they would have if they tried another stand-alone reboot...

Jemma Simmons: I will say that is one thing that Agatha All Along got right. They did a phenomenal job of planting hints throughout but it not really being obvious until the end. Reminded me of WandaVision that way. Nov 10, 2024 23:03:26 GMT

Jemma Simmons: And yes, I think AoS did such a fantastic job at character/world building. I know that was one of the complaints about Season 1. Nov 10, 2024 23:04:32 GMT

Jemma Simmons: That they took too long to introduce stuff... but honestly the slow build was the payoff. Nov 10, 2024 23:04:51 GMT

ayanami: Yeah, I wish they'd managed to throw in some Avengers cameos along the way. You know, to keep audience numbers high until the story really took off.

Nov 10, 2024 23:07:44 GMT

ayanami: Idk, Ironman flying alongside the Bus. Stuff like that.

Nov 10, 2024 23:08:50 GMT

Jemma Simmons: LOL that would have been awesome! I got the idea they might like to do that, but I suspect the main actors were too expensive. Although we did get Fury a few times. And the occasional Maria Hill. Nov 10, 2024 23:09:58 GMT

ayanami: Also, should have scrapped and re-done episode 2 from scratch. Not a horrible episode all together, but what a slow, low-budget let-down from the pilot and the general MCU world in general. I bet the ratings drop between eps 2 and 3 was massive! Nov 10, 2024 23:11:30 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Oh I'm sure you're right! Nov 10, 2024 23:12:00 GMT

ayanami: Yeah, Fury was great! Plus, he was really necessary to tie the story together in S1. Nov 10, 2024 23:12:16 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I think the other issue with the first couple seasons as far as pacing had to do with them tying in the show to the movies and not being able to address the movie on the show until the movie was released. Nov 10, 2024 23:13:19 GMT

Jemma Simmons: And yeah, Fury was great! His appearances never felt forced either. Like you said, he was necessary to the plot and it fit that he was there. Nov 10, 2024 23:14:22 GMT

ayanami: True. But low-budget eps right at the start of the show, special effects stolen right out of Firefly and cringy humour certainly didn't help their case, either.

Nov 10, 2024 23:14:49 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Ha, no. But every show has to find its footing that first season. Nov 10, 2024 23:15:47 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I just keep wondering if we might ever see any AoS characters on What If? Nov 10, 2024 23:16:11 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I mean that would be really easy to bring them in on. I can't see doing the voice work taking long. Nov 10, 2024 23:16:27 GMT

ayanami: That would be very cool. I'd love to see that! Nov 10, 2024 23:18:49 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Me too! Have to wonder how many of the cast at this point would be willing to do it. It would be neat to see them though! Nov 10, 2024 23:20:22 GMT

ayanami: Alrighty then, since it's getting late over here, I think I'm gonna peace off now. I hope you have a great week ahead of you, until next Sunday! See you around, bosslady!

Nov 10, 2024 23:20:27 GMT

Jemma Simmons: You have a good week too! See you next week! Nov 10, 2024 23:21:21 GMT

ayanami: I would hope everyone. I mean, it's a paycheck and voice work should not be that hard to fit into their usual schedules. Nov 10, 2024 23:22:08 GMT
