Why have pre-patch events become so forgettable and insipid?

You want me to recap a trailer for you? There's a giant red button that will do that better than my words can. Originally Posted by Serpha

Well, to be fair, it's in the MCU Universe. Spider-Man is part of the MCU, and you saw Vulture there towards the end of the trailer, which just cements it. Originally Posted by Redwyrm

Would have been cooler if they didn't spoil Vulture at the end.

Not sure if you guys noticed, but this movie appears to be in both the MCU and the Sam Raimi Spider-Man universes. At 2:10 in the trailer, there is picture of Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man on the wall.

Well for one Venom got a meh reception and was not even tied to Spider-man. Sony trying to do a "shared universe" just seems foreign. Originally Posted by Oakshana

He's in the Spiderman Universe, if Disney and Sony go at it again, he's out of the MCU. Originally Posted by Oakshana

Miss don’t like it when you post a video without starting any kind of discussion. They often close those threads. Originally Posted by Redwyrm

I did start a discussion (see discussion above) and I didn't JUST post the video. I expressed my surprise that this got a release. Morbius is not exactly top tier comic book characters. But it seems to have a strong cast. And a "vampire" movie might make the difference. Originally Posted by Jetstream

Venom was meh critically, but it made a boat load of money which is pretty much all Sony cares about at this point. Originally Posted by Redwyrm

Sony tried a shared universe before, and failed spectacularly, more so than DC even. They're only trying again because Disney/Marvel is holding their hand.

Or just the MCU Spider-Man given how “murderer” over the spider-man on the wall could be in reference to the end of far from home. And for some odd reason Sony just decided to go with a Sam Raimi Spider-Man picture Originally Posted by Asphyx22

maybe the old spiderman is just a tribute (or maybe forshadowing the multiverse)

They just did it as an Easter egg to get people talking about Morbius and hope social media speculation regarding Tobey's Spider-man becoming part of the shared universe creates some traction and helps this movie perform well. Originally Posted by ChronoSul

To be fair though, Vulture seems to just be a cameo. Just walking by each other as Morbius goes to jail or something. I don't think he's an important character to the plot, so it's a good element to put in the trailer to show it's linked to Homecoming/ Far From Home without spoiling anything actually important.

Spider-Man is the most 'multiverse' hero and they want to introduce the multiverse anyway. It's all good. Originally Posted by Redwyrm

Oh I knew that. Spider-man would make a great venn diagram. You have Spider-man movies with no connection to MCU, Spider-man movies completely within MCU. And now this thing in the strange overlap. With Venom being it's own little dot by itself outside all circles. Originally Posted by Vegas82

Why would you want a comic book movie to stand on it's own? They only have the rights because he's a Spiderman Universe guy. "Stand on it's own" for some artisitic vision about what looks like a vampire movie? Originally Posted by RobertoCarlos
