Marvel exec: “Hear me out. We literally just bring back all the Sam Raimi supervillains”

Fellow ghoul: “Oh, like write the same characters?”

Marvel exec: “No I mean literally the same actors portraying those particular versions of those characters coming from the Raimi universe”

Fellow ghoul: “......I love it!”

    I'm of two minds about this whole thing

    Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse already did an amazing job of the whole multiple Spider-Men thing and this just feels like the lazy man's way of getting the entire Sinister Six into a movie

    But also, we're finally getting a superhero movie from Disney that's basically just them being like "Yeah, we own all these action figures, let's slam them together and make noises while we do it"

      "finally"?! was that not what all the avengers movies were?

            Quick! Let's separate into several one-on-one fights! It's not like they are familiar with each other's powers and fighting on the same team.

        I meant in terms of previous actors and characters they've picked up since Avengers

        After all, nobody cheered when Hawkeye showed up in Thor, because Hawkeye is small-time (all offense to Jeremy Renner meant)

        This is big time, "we own nearly every character and actor who ever portrayed them" levels of media

      Into the Spider-Verse was amazing. Straight up a landmark in animation history and a great story. Oh, and the sound track was masterful

        It really did remind me that animation can still pack a big punch

        Really, all these superhero movies should be animated
