I don't think they have done any real demographical research here. If this is case it is probably because the studios think that just because they have been making movies for decades, that must mean no one, not even marvel, can tell them how to make a movie. But someone needs to inform them that the superhero fan base or any other movie based on any comic, has a huge following, and it's fans will not support a film based on their character if it does not follow the true source. They are forecasting “good fortune” for themselves based on the first time appeal of the characters being on the big screen. That is a giant mistake. If they cared about the true fans then they will listen to the fans. Nevertheless, until they listen to Stan and the crew the studios are foregoing millions of dollars in extra revenue.

I am totally against putting Pete back in highschool. Instead, they should start off where Raimi left off, but have the Sandman as the main and only villain, since 3 was not that great. The Sandman did not have to share the spotlight with Venom. Then save Venom for Spidey 7 or 8. Introduce all of Spiderman's main enemies first, as Venom was really the last out of spidey's archenemies.

To both SONY AND FOX, I'll say it again…if I spent 130 million to make a movie, and forecast 300 million in revenue, why would I settle for the 300 when I strongly believe I can make 500 miilion if I make the movie more adult oriented?

I don't know I'm all that keen on an “Ultimate Spiderman' adaptation, if that's the direction they're going to take.

I would much rather see adaptations from the longest running title “Amazing Spiderman”.

I'm sure Marc Webb will do a great job regardless. I'm just not 100% confident with Sony.

Sick and tired of Sony and Fox? You betcha!
