People Are Really Analyzing That, "Morbius," Trailer


As you can see above this text here, the trailer for that upcoming, "Morbius," movie came-out recently. It looks potentially good with its mixture of horror and action, plus Jared Leto is a great actor when he isn't being an insufferable human. The things that have really caught people's attention, however, are a random background poster with Spider-Man (in a strangely different from the Marvel Cinematic Universe outfit) and a surprise appearance by Michael Keaton AKA the Vulture in the MCU-linked, "Spider-Man," movies. These two things have led to a lot of analyzing and overthinking.

I have seen theories that this is some complicated multi-World Spider-Verse where one of the old previous Spider-Men are involved, it is a unique mix of stuff, etc. Some reasoning for this being an alternate World is the different Spider-Man outfit. I'm gonna guess it was just a piece of art chosen for the trailer and will be corrected. Now, with Michael Keaton showing-up that shows there is some connective-tissue forming between Sony's movies featuring Spider-Man and his friends/foes. It should be noted though that this is different from if someone owned by Disney/Marvel popped-up like happens in the movies specifically featuring Spider-Man. I'm going to say this is probably going to be a case where the Sony flicks can comment on elements of the MCU movies that involve Spider-Man or their properties, but it will probably not be a two-way street where we can expect Morbius to appear anytime soon in an, "Avengers," flick.

I'm always down for more Michael Keaton in any movie.
Now, I could be wrong and when Marvel and Sony renegotiated their deal about Spider-Man certain things were agreed upon. Perhaps the MCU will be allowed to draw some from Sony and we could very well be heading towards an epic, "Sinister Six," movie where Spider-Man and the Avengers fight Moribus, the Vulture, and whomever with Venom even possibly pops-up. We shall see what the exact case is with all this before too long, but I don't think it is any crazy-complicated thing with multiple Universes so much as it is studios carefully navigating ownership rights.

Spider-Man: Homecoming Trailer Thoughts AKA Another Day Another Preview


God, it seems like just yesterday night I was talking about a movie trailer. Oh wait, that's because I was. Now, not to be a jerk to DC and their upcoming, "Justice League," but Sony and Marvel/Disney seem to really have their shit together with this trailer. Yes, it commits the crime of seeming to show too much of the plot within a short 2 minutes and 30-ish seconds, but lots of previews do that more and more often, so I can't hate. There just is so much good stuff in this trailer too, from plenty of Robert Downey Jr. being a snarky Iron Man, to Tom Holland doing his amazingly-great Peter Parker, Michael Keaton being the stellar actor he always is with an ominous Vulture, and explosive special-effects galore.

Something about this trailer just gets me excited for, "Spider-Man: Homecoming," to a greater degree than any other Spidey-flick since maybe the 2nd original, "Spider-Man," movie which most agree was phenomenal/the best of all the Spider-Man films. I'm not sure if it is knowing that this part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe despite being a Sony production thanks to their deal with Marvel (a deal which is sure to make everyone stinking rich), all the great aforementioned actors, or that we are getting a Spider-Man movie that seems more interested in being fun and focusing on Peter Parker as the hero as opposed to rehashing yet again how his Uncle Ben died and he's all torn-up over it (although if we get a flashback with that I'll be kinda perturbed because at this point the only thing worse than watching Uncle Ben die again would be seeing Bruce Wayne's parents getting gunned down for the umpteenth time). Whatever the reason is this looks so good, I'm just glad it does.
In summary, "Spider-Man: Homecoming," looks fantastic and will most likely be a great time for a variety of reasons as I've outlined above. I'm eager to see it for sure!
