Basically marvel sold off the film rights on their main characters to other studios in the 80's and 90's as they were going bankrupt.

I like to think I'm tired of these films but nursing a pretty bad hangover and all I want to do is curl up and watch some superheroes

Craner craves the nuance of the movie about a giant marshmallow attacking new york.
