So. Morbius. There’s 3 possibilities for the future of this franchise:
1: due to the film being a complete financial failure, Sony will not want anything to do with the film, and quietly euthanise the character.
2: they make a sequel that references the memes surrounding the film constantly. Decide for yourself if this is a good or bad thing.
3: they continue with their original plan for the character, and put him into the venom cinematic universe. The bad ending.
Which do you think is the most likely ending.
That, and they need to put out movies to retain the movie rights to the characters.
Fuck is that really how it works? Wait is that why they make a Fantastic Four movie every decade or so?
That's the exact reason. The 90s one was so bad/cheap they didn't even show it in theaters or release a video.
Capitalism breeds innovation /s
I suppose, but if the characters aren’t profitable then why try to keep them?
Why would a capitalist voluntarily give up ownership over something for free? Really hard to justify cutting that loss to the board, even if the movies will probably never be profitable
Also I love how the late-capitalist definition of profit is “does it make a billion dollars”, very sustainable mindset.
keeping them in the public view sells comics and toys which are the real money makers
Comics definitely aren’t the real money makers.
yeah you're right, I kind of just smashed keys to write words without thinking to answer your question. I stand by my statement on the toys though
