I always looked out for his cameo's - some were just weird, lol.AJ Blythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529233142099749005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27643523.post-7395784413958352912021-12-03T21:52:13.456-08:002021-12-03T21:52:13.456-08:00The Spider-Man copyright issue pertained to movie ...The Spider-Man copyright issue pertained to movie rights. Originally, Marvel sold the movie rights to the Spider-Man character to Sony, who made the first set of Spider-Man movies with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. That's why Marvel itself couldn't make Spider-Man movies when Marvel first got into the movie biz. But within the last few years, they have reached some sort of copyright sharing deal with Sony (which undoubtedly cost them bigga bigga bucks), so Marvel is now able to also use the Spider-Man character in its movies (with Tom Holland).Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27643523.post-4867431457452569132021-12-03T20:11:40.348-08:002021-12-03T20:11:40.348-08:00Hi Hilary!

I was glad I studied English literature at uni, because I read a lot of books Inwould never have got around to, on my own.<br /><br />Hi Debra! I think Lee and others truly deserved their fame. And they really seem to have enjoyed the work. I do know there were some issues between the creatives, which is sad. But on th3 other hand, they all did better than those two young men who created Superman and sold the rights cheaply! <br /><br />I hadn’t heard that about the copyright, must look it up. I do know there are now some issues about the rights to Spiderman, hope they settle it!

He definitely overshadowed other creatives at Marvel and has been criticized for that and perhaps more underhanded things, but who knows? He certainly lived to see his superhero empire hit the Big Time in the movies! Must have been very gratifying.<br /><br />I was just reading that the copyright on many of Marvel's earliest (and most popular) superheroes is about to expire and Marvel is trying to come up with some legal manoeuvres to prevent that or to extend copyright somehow. Sounds like the Marvel money-making machine may be about to end.Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27643523.post-82678148334320834802021-12-03T04:56:26.885-08:002021-12-03T04:56:26.885-08:00Hi Sue - I love how you introduce me to books I...Hi Sue - I love how you introduce me to books I'd never consider reading, or knew about.
