Spider-Man could possibly appear in Avengers 3! - Nerd Reactor

Like I said in the Marvel 6" thread - baseless speculation and rumor. Liefeld doesn't work for Marvel and basically admits he's got no proof. He's just fantasizing like any other fanboy.

But kudos to Nerd Reactor for getting what they wanted out of it - more traffic to their site.

Agreed.

Does suck that Marvel seems to be C-blockin' X-Men and FF stuff right now. Don't know if that really is the case, but it sure feels like it is.

I can see why it might feel that way, especially to us fans, but I just don't see it making sense from a business perspective. Marvel/Disney makes money off those films and associated merchandise regardless of the studio that produces them.

Actively attempting to kill a still-viable revenue stream solely to regain total control over it seems very childish and spiteful for a multimedia conglomerate.

DOFP was good, but I wouldn't mind if marvel took Xmen back so we could get some cool xmen toys.

I thought ASM2 was a good movie. Sure, not the greatest ever: there were plot holes, and the movie could be nitpicked apart by fanboys (already has been). But if you just go with it, it's an enjoyable ride.

That is an example of one of the few reasons I don't like alternate universes as a structuring device in literature. For some stupid reason, a writer decides that everything MUST be different because it's an alternate universe.

Thankfully, I think Disney is a little too conservative/family-friendly to let Marvel Studios pull something like that on their latest golden goose.

Although, they do own other studios that cater to more mature, controversial and/or non-conventional ideas.
