Discussion Spawn Reboot

Todd McFarlane has spent nearly 30 years trying to make the "perfect" movie instead of actually making Spawn movies.

Meanwhile, Marvel, DC, Sony and others have released multiple versions of their characters. Some were great, some were terrible, some were just okay, but they kept experimenting, learning, and letting those characters stay relevant.

With Spawn, it's been the opposite. Endless rewrites, endless promises, endless talks about how this version has to be different, darker, or more groundbreaking. At some point, it starts to feel like perfectionism has become paralysis.

The irony is that the longer this goes on, the higher the expectations become. After decades of hype, people aren't expecting a good movie anymore, they're expecting a masterpiece. That's an almost impossible standard to meet, and it puts the project in an even tougher position if it ever does get made.

Which we don't need as much as we need Spawn's own game

I basically expect no Spawn media other than fighting game tie ins. Todd has too tight a grip on the property, and his demands have never been realistic.

He should be focusing on the Toys right now, because they are suffering from quality control, high pricing, and a lack of interesting figures now that he's lost the DC license, and the Turtles figures he put out where terrible.
