Been following the Biggest Tragedies of gaming thread that's pretty active now, and it made me think of similar instances of recent movies. So, what do you guys think are the greatest tragedies of the film industry. I'm thinking more dissapointments or things that could have been, rather than actual real world film industry tragedies like McCarthyism invading hollywood or things like that.
Anywho's the first thing that came to mind was how much I wish we got to see Edgar Wright's Antman. Edgar Wright is one of the most interesting filmmakers alive right now, and Antman was such a project of love for him. The whole falling out between him and marvel upset me so much it honestly has made me a lot less likely to root for marvel as of late.
Another thought that came to mind (not intentionally being so marvel focused) was Spiderman 3. If Raimi hadn't been pressured to shoehorn in venom and had made the movie he wanted, well I might have gotten a proper sequel to Spiderman 2 which is maybe my favorite superhero movie of all time.
Finally (I swear I didnt intentionally make this about marvel) I wish X3 had been directed by Bryan Singer and he had been free to make the Pheonix-centered horror movie adjacent film he had been planning to make.
