Spider-Man director Sam Raimi recently shared his thoughts on how comic book movies can have a new age of success with the obvious implication that they are currently on the decline.
He’s one of the last white guy’s that can be unapologetically white in the industry today. Most of the mid 2000ers were grandfathered in.
The primary problem lies with the fact that the majority of all the mid-level executives and ALL creatives are white women or people of color who hate white guys, and are using our stuff as a vehicle to scold us….. because they’re not us, and the envy is consuming.
I don’t see this bitterness being solved, or rooted out anytime soon so, using my limited prognostication skills, I don’t believe we will ever return to “the salad days”.
Raimi could do decent Spider-Man and Doctor Strange movies, if the Studio would allow it.
They won't.
Pity, as no one in Hollowood understands Steve Ditko and his work like Sam Raimi does.

I would love a properly done Korvac Saga with the original Guardians of the Galaxy and Jocasta.
