Go home, Sony. You're drunk.

Quote:
Marvel, sorry for the name drop Sony, released a Mark Millar-penned romance mini-series in 2003 called Trouble that they thought would be the new origin of Spider-Man. It featured teenage versions of Aunt May, Uncle Ben, Richard and Mary Parker. Through a convoluted series of events, May gets teen-pregnant by Richard but gave up baby Peter to Mary who takes the secret of Peter’s true parentage to her grave.

Spider-Man fans were not happy and the story didn’t sell too well, so that was the end of any attempts to focus on young Aunt May and thereby Spider-Man’s origin reverted back to not-being-the-child-of-Aunt-May.
WTF.

Too bad Fox has Fantastic Four or we could have gotten the story where Aunt May was Galactus' Herold.

I'm at a loss. Why would they do that of all things?

Oh, you know. If you can't win, make sure everyone else loses. Damage the brand so much that when/if Marvel Disney reclaims it they'll have an uphill battle making it profitable.
