Prime Video nears green light on live-action 'Clone Saga' series
If you've never read the insane oral history of the Clone Saga, The Life of Reilly, you REALLY should. lifeofreillyarchives.blogspot.com/2008/03/intr...
Tom Ewing11One of the most genuinely informative "business books" (except it isn't a book) I've read - a classic example of creative project bloat and drift, nobody able to execute a plan or stick to a choice, except you could see the results on a monthly basis in real time
Adam Mallinger3I read this at least five times before I ever read the comics. It's an incredible and candid look behind the scenes of one of the biggest comics debacles of the 90s. If you want to REALLY see all the pressures that affect creative works, read this. You'll come away with new respect for the process
Sorry but "Clone Saga TV series that can't actually use Spider-Man" absolutely has to happen just so I can see how bad and pointless they can make it.
Ian5If it takes place within Sony's Spider-Man-less Spider-Man-verse then they should recast Kraven with whoever is the cheap-enough-for-TV version of Aaron Taylor Johnson just so they can revisit the fact that Kraven's biggest fear is spiders.
The Parker Legacy (Thanks for the memories, Pete!)2Is there talk of one?
Joey Fixit1Kaine's costume has already leaked.
But why? Unless you have Tobey McGuire or Andrew Garfield in the series to play the clones of Peter Parker (because y'all sure as hell ain't getting Tom Holland on this), what's the point? Also... ew. The Clone Saga was the beginning of my exodus from the Spider-Man books. Ugh. Why?
Hallenbeck771Pointless, but at least it's a show nobody asked for. And they couldn't be bothered with a second season of Spider-Noir. Nice Job!
Gojira0071Sony's takeaway from the back to back to back failures of their Spidey spin-off 'verse is, unsurprisingly, not that people aren't interested in Sony Spidey Spin-offs, but thatched need to pretend Spidey is actually in them.
amber1we've already had spiderman with a jacket in a movie ugh
Team Orca1Also I'd think marvel wouldn't want this to dilute their juggernaut from a movie perspective either
from the studio that brought you fan favorite films like Morbius and Madam Web comes the moment every Spider-fan has been waiting for: a television adaptation of the Clone Saga *without* Peter Parker even in it.
politiburb7Do you think Amy Pascal ever just stops and sits at her desk as the weight of her shame settles in, realizing she's spent the past 10 years churning out substandard knockoff-tier Content^TM slop about one of the most popular superheroes ever created just to keep Disney at bay?
Matthew Buckley1“Get me Peter Parker’s non-union clone equivalent!”
Drunk On Mystery1"What if we made a series out of the worst Spider-man comic of the 90s, but we didn't include Peter?" is the kind of thing I'd assume was a dare, not a pitch.
lordfim.bsky.social1Venom was fun but you really can't ignore the elephant-sized Spider in the room
