And [@Sep] and [@Dedonus] I know you guys aren't trying to rain on my parade, I just don't think the Marvel MCU is as flawless as a lot of people and that the Spider-Man flicks have way more potential than Sony realizes. Ant Man looked good, but I was disappointed they made Pym an old guy and remade characters and such to avoid any chance of the Pym/Wasp marital abuse thing coming up. I have high hopes for Black Panther though and the Inhumans.

After reading what Sony had planned for Spider-Man, they really needed to let him go because they had no freaking clue how to handle him.  And this is coming from someone who liked the Amazing Spider-Man series of films (I have no idea how anyone could rate ASM2 under SM3.  That's beyond me).  Like I already said, the original Spider-Man trilogy was produced in a very competition-lacking environment.  Sony thought that they could just make a Spider-Man movie and it be a smashing success.  This really shows itself in ASM2, where Sony tried to market that movie to death.

Sometimes, it takes fresh minds to make something better.  You cannot tell me that the Fantastic Four would be in better hands with Marvel than with Fox, especially after the embarrassment that F4 was (although I didn't see it because I already assumed it was going to be a train wreck).  I think it is the same with Spider-Man (although definitely not as extreme as a case as Fantastic Four).  Spider-Man needed fresh minds on his projects because obviously what Sony was doing with him was not working.

Sure, I would love to see the DC movies do well.  This can only bring healthy competition between the two companies.  It will keep the "creative" fire going under Marvel so that they don't become lazy and lose their touch.  And while it is true that not everything that Marvel makes is "golden", at the same time, except for the Incredible Hulk (which probably is a better movie than the two ones I will list), Marvel hasn't had a movie [b]so[/b] bad like Green Lantern or Fantastic Four (the reboot).  Even Man of Steel was polarizing. Some liked it, other did not (unfortunately I am one of the latter).
