New Spider-man no way home trailer

D&D players should be one to talk about naming conventions. For every one good PC/NPC name theres 1000 stupid, silly or plain ridiculous ones

Tell that to my halfling, Hunglo Bigguns!

I once named an NPC Campbell Boyardee because I was prepping an adventure in my kitchen staring at the pantry.

I once ran a game with two NPC scouts named Matt and Locke.

I cannot speak to the specific item, but it is known that there was heavy pressure on Raimi to do things in that movie that he didn't really think were great ideas - like have Venom at all.

probably the unexpected part is that after having delivered good first 2 movies, I'd expect less interference on the 3rd as you'd figure the studio trusted the guy to keep making it good.

Guess not

My understanding is that Sony is not known for learning that lesson - which is part of why they have Marvel make the Spider-Man movies now.

I don’t think that’s really how studios work, though. Generally, more money invested means more studio interference. There’s a reason most sequels feel tonally entirely different than (or like hollow imitations of) the original.

It’s a rare director who has had enough success to have carte blanche. And even that may not last for their whole career.

It does seem to be how Marvel under Disney works, though. While I am sure the studio has a lot of requirements, they seem to front-load those, and they don't seem to mess with the directors too much once things are really rolling, so long as they stick to the requirements.

Unless someone has citations otherwise? Because Marvel has allowed... a lot of weird stuff that you'd wonder if it would work out.

The Juggernaut killed Uncle Ben?!

Oops. Flint Marks then.

These days, yes. A decade ago, not so much.

Despite the lack of any screen time for Tobey or Andrew, people commenting on this elsewhere are swearing that it is Andrew's hand, and not Tom's, reaching to catch MJ.
