Very few things Spidey-verse does would translate well  or would be possible to do in a live action setting.

TBF I think that was a shortcoming of the limitations of tech at the time + it was Hulk, not the concept itself.

 

At this point everyone has disembarked the Whedon train as they should. but he was right in that Hulk is less a superhero story than a horror/werewolf tale. I have to wonder how it would work for a more traditional superhero (so Scott Pilgrim doesn't count either).

Didn't Zach Snyder succeed in making 300 look like a comic strip?

Yes and a bit like a painted feel often, Sin city also, but in both case not sure how much of the action was actually live.

300 had a remarkable box office run.

[Valonqar]

Ah, yes, Sin City! Forgot about that one but good catch.

 

yeah, 300 boxoffice was spectacular.

Still a v. Good superhero film.

Sin City was outstanding.

 

 

 

Little known fact: they made a sequel to Sin City

[WittyUsername]

It’s disappointing that this movie isn’t doing better at the box office, but hopefully it can let it out to at least being near $100 million domestically. Beyond that, it seems like it might be up to China to save this movie. 

[Zakiyyah6]

It's a lock to make over 100mil. Holidays are why studios like this time of year. This was never doing live action Superhero money worldwide. I don't get why so many thought it would? The critical reception could not change the fact that people see Live action adaptions of famous Superheroes as more cinematic than animated adaptions. People can whine about it until they're blue in the face but it's a fact.

Having listened to A Very Spidey Christmas album, Sony needs to release the full album next Christmas. I need Silent Night (You’re Welcome)!

I’m only partway through SPIDER-VERSE but one of my first thoughts was how it was a successful realization of what Ang Lee tried to do (and then scaled back from).

ALH’s problem is that it applies the comic panel gimmick to a very serious (and frankly very dull) movie so it doesn’t gel at all.

[Curtis1986]

So who will get the oscar for this. Will it be all 3 directors and was there a lead director

 I remember that Big Hero 6 gave Oscars to multiple directors so that will very likely be the same situation.

[Ricochet]

How do we feel about its likely dom performance?

[nick64]

This was actually a perfect movie.

This weekend's numbers should be interesting to see, but I really, really hoped it could do more.

Well, sadly...this is what happens when the OW isn’t that spectacular or anywhere close to the previous films. 😔😣😢
