Venom is a hit, so is Spider-man Finished in the MCU now?…

Date: October 12, 2018
“In its first weekend of release, Sony’s Venom defied the lackluster reviews from professional critics, and opened to 80 million at the domestic box office, and to the audience consensus that it “wasn’t that bad”. But the downside with Venom scoring this kind of boxoffice, is that it gives Sony every incentive to yank Spider-man out of the MCU, and put him into their own budding Sony Marvel universe, alongside Venom, Morbius and Kraven. In this post-release analysis (not postmortem, as the movie didn’t bomb), @AndreEinherjar will explore just that further. To do so, the Venom boxoffice numbers will be put into context, where the movie stepped wrong and what it did right will be dissected, and then finally, what this boxoffice result could mean for Sony’s own Marvel Universe, and by extension, Spider-man’s future presence in the legitimate Marvel Cinematic Universe.” Looked at on its own… …I think he’s correct, that Sony would be more incentivized to unite it’s successful Marvel properties… …Which would be bad for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, should this mean Spiderman will no longer appear in their movies…They’ve invested a lot in him, already…He needs to stay and develop. No doubt…this is why he’s been made, and kept, a minor character…Marvel didn’t want him to get too big, in case he ended up getting yanked out of their movies? I can understand Marvel not wanting to recognize movies made outside of their control, as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe…but part of me wishes they would give their blessing, and allow the crossover[s]. |

01) Judge Orders New Investigation Into Kavanaugh
“There’s a new investigation on Brett Kavanaugh.
Fox News personality Bret Baier on Wednesday reported that U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has referred allegations of judicial misconduct claims against Justice Brett Kavanaugh to outside judges for investigation.
Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson, a George H.W. Bush nominee, forwarded more than a dozen misconduct complaints to the chief justice after determining they were substantive enough that they needed to be investigated by judges outside the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, where Kavanaugh was serving as a judge.

01) Lindsey Graham: ‘Hell To Pay’ If Saudis Murdered Jamal Khashoggi
“Lindsey Graham and the Senators have spoken their concerns about the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Wednesday that ‘there would be hell to pay’ if missing journalist and Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi was killed by the Saudi government, as Turkish officials have claimed.
Graham told reporters at the Capitol that he would be speaking with the Saudi ambassador at 5:30 p.m. ET Wednesday. He cautioned that ‘we don’t want to rush to judgment,’ but said that ‘the explanations I hear coming from Saudi Arabia make no sense.’
‘I’ve never been more disturbed than I am right now,’ said Graham, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. ‘If this man was murdered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, that would cross every line of normality in the international community.
