Meedyah Morsels #69.


Talked about MCU and Fox, now I feel like shooting the shit about the Sony-Spidey-verse.


So, the trailer for Far From Home came out, and don't watch it, or read any further, until you've seen Endgame.

Everyone who needs to leave gone?
Good.

All right, so the trailer shows that they're introducing the multi-verse into the MCU.
Hmm, the multi-verse in relation to Spider-Man, where have we seen that before?


I think Amy Pascal blabbed this plan in 2017, and everyone just moved on, and took amnesia pills.

She said the Sony-Spidey-verse was part of the MCU, then she clarified, and said adjacent, but same reality.

If they're connecting it via multi-verse, then both are kind of true.

So here's how I think it goes down...



"Spider-Man: Homecoming", as a title had two meanings.
1.) Peter Parker going to the homecoming dance
2.) Spider-Man the character coming back home to Marvel.
But the Sony/Disney deal only lasted 5 movies.
Civil War, Homecoming, Infinity War, Endgame, and Far From Home.
Unless Sony re-ups the deal, this is it.

Assuming they don't re-up, here's what I think "Far From Home", means.
1.) The in-movie meaning that Peter goes on a school trip to Europe.
2.) Spidey is going back to Sony.

If they introduce multi-verse, and Tom Holland ends up either in the Spider-Verse-verse, or the Venom-verse, he truly will be far from home.

Assuming Sony does re-up, they can still have their universe connected, and still have Tom Holland pop up for the big MCU team-ups.
They can eat their cake, and have it too.

It's win-win for them.

Here's what I'd do if I were Sony.
Wrap up "Far From Home", with Tom Holland in the Spider-Verse-verse.
In post-credits, have Andrew Garfield and Tobey MaGuire pop up in animated form there, say some funny lines, and take off again.
Have Tom Hardy Venom pop up, and Tom Holland follows him home into Venom-verse thinking it's going to be MCU, but then he's stuck there.

Now, you've not only connected MCU to Sony, but the pieces of Sony to themselves, and retroactively made Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 1 the first MCU movie.

And you've got Spidey for Venom 2.

How can Sony resist that?
I submit that they can not.

Also, Disney/Marvel gets to use multi-verse to pull Deadpool over.
Or any other Fox-verse characters they want.

Win-win for them too.

Course, I have my own fan-fantasies for how to bring the X-Men in, and that's a whole other post.

So, that's my predictions/wishes for all of that.
