News Round Up 2020

[The Pho]

Kraven works perfectly into this story where Spider-Man is on the run. There’s never been a better opportunity, imo.

Without Amy Pascal at Sony and her friendship with Feige, I think the partnership is about to end with his final 3 appearances. I’d like to be wrong, but Sony seems like they want to branch off into their own Spiderverse. Morbius, Venom 2 coming out in 2021 (), and the plans for a Black Cat and Silver Sable movie, and a Kraven standalone, Silk, and a Madame Web movie, I don’t see why they’d need the MCU anymore. Spider-Man and Batman are 2 heroes that have a rouges gallery to have a 10 movie run, there are so many villains for Spidey that I’d love to see on screen that we haven’t seen

I could certainly see them separating, I just don’t see them actually wanting to. I could see them trying the previous tactic again and Disney not wanting to deal with them again. Sony needs the MCU more than Disney needs Spider-Man.

The rogues gallery is really his biggest draw. Spider-Man, Batman, and Superman all have enough to rotate around for quite a few films. Other heroes really seem to lack the depth these ones have. I wish they’d all venture out a little more than they seem to for the films. If I ever get to see Kraven, then Mxyzptlk raises to the top of my list.

Not earth shattering news, but the Runaway Railway promotion may be over at McDonalds. I went to one today thinking it would still be going on and the displays were gone, box was plain and my daughter got a 2x2 Rubiks cube (a pretty nice one actually .. usually spend more than the cost of the meal on them in the store).

Oh well .. that recall really put a damper on collecting them as a lot of the McDs stopped having them for a week or so .. and never seemed to get many new ones (or still had the ones from the first week) or was still handing out old toys. I was lucky to get 7 - missed out on Soaring, Teacups and Pirates. I even went on a hunt last Wednesday to like 3 different McDonalds and struck out at all of them .. finally hitting a McDonalds in a more rural area on Saturday and got a new one (Tower of Terror).

Was just hit and miss . some McDs were happy to go through the boxes for you .. others were too busy to bother.

Was fun while it lasted .. but didn't last long enough (without going to McDonalds like every other day .. ugh).

That's surprising, would have expected this to run for a month but could have something to do with the recall screwup (or maybe they just sold out quickly?). That said, you're apparently not the only one...

I haven't gotten into this discussion but I always get disappointed when packaging is used like that when its reliant on supplies lasting. If I was wanting that toy I think I would be disappointed too.

Unless this is for very brief cameos, I think this is a bad idea. The Toby Maguire movies were mostly good and the Andrew Garfield movies were pretty terrible - Tom's version has been the best so far, so let it stand on its own.

Well they’re going the route of the Multiverse starting with WandaVision, and with the success of Into the Spiderverse, this was going to eventually make its way into live action. It’s still going to be Toms movie, just with the Spiderverse aspect

Yeah- not happy I couldn't get the last 4. I wonder if they are still stuck in recall? (Or hoping maybe they did?)

I posted about this last week. We have had really bad luck with this. We went to McDonalds to try to get one of the toys and it happened to be the first day they recalled them. It was not even reported online yet. DS was very disappointed when we opened his happy meal and no Disney Parks toy. So after we found out they were probably coming back we had hope we would go back in a week or so and they would have them. We tried last week and our McDonalds said they never got them back after the recall and they did not know if/when they were getting them. DS is going to be very sad if he never gets one

Half the time, we go to the movies FOR the popcorn. Sometimes you just need the buttery goodness that can't be replicated at home! We saw Onward! just prior to the shutdowns and we saw Tenet when Regal (only one near us) opened in the summer with only about 6 folks in the theatre. The worst part of that (besides the movie...sorry, opinion) was that Regal switched to Pepsi products! Not even a Dr. Pepper on tap - just Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Sierra Mist, and other nasty things. That's enough to make me drive 30 minutes more to an AMC.

I've gone into movie theaters JUST to get popcorn. Like walk in, get popcorn, walk out. Many times. Lol
