So Spider-Man is Part of Marvel, What else is new?

It has been talked about for a while now about Spider-Man going back to Marvel Studios so he can be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and today is officially Christmas for the nerds, because Sony & Marvel have announced a joined effort into making a brand new Spider-Man reboot (AGAIN!). It will be co-produced by both of them, but Sony will maintain marketing, distribution & final creative control over the film, but nevertheless, Spider-Man is now part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I did a post about this a while ago that I felt like Sony should at least finish their Amazing Spider-Man series before giving the rights to Marvel, but now, Amazing Spider-Man is dead, which means no more Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, yes, this upsets me, but i'm just gonna have to deal with that and just look on the positives and speculations.

First of all, like most people would agree, give Peter Parker a rest for a while, move onto something else, like Miles Morales for example, give him his big screen debut, at least then you'll be doing something new with the Spider-Man character, getting more diversity amongst your films and pleasing a lot of fans of a really interesting character. And you know, maybe Donald Glover could finally get to wear the ol' red & blue (Even though Miles Morales's costume is red & black). Right now, the new Spider-Man movie is planned for July 2017, but it's unknown if this'll be his first appearance on the big screen, after all, it's entirely possible for him to make an appearance in Civil War, seeing as Spider-Man does play a major role in the Civil War comic book.

Honestly the biggest negative to come from this is people complaining that several Marvel movies have been pushed back, this is mostly from people complaining about Captain Marvel getting pushed back...big fucking deal, so you have to wait another 6 months for Captain Marvel, get over it, i didn't hear ya complaining about Black Panther or Inhumans or Thor: Ragnarok being pushed back, it's not that big of a deal guys.

So yeah, realistically, this is a good move for both Sony and Marvel, Spider-Man is a great character but he needs to be revamped, otherwise I feel like audiences are going to get sick of seeing him rebooted once every 5 years and just stop caring about him, and i don't want that to happen, he's my favourite superhero, so here's to a hopefully bright future.
