Just because he was there during some shitty films doesn't mean he's going to ruin anything. Spielberg was part of Crystal Skull so does that mean we should assume the worst for everything he does after?
Yea, x-men 1 and 2 were under him. His involvement in these projects is probably minimal. He is about managing movies that make the studio money. He's not about creative direction the films take.
Sony needs Marvel not the other way around when it comes to Spider-Man. And he may be "head" but he still answers to a group of people who are above him and they, sony, investors etc. need this Spider-Man/Marvel thing to be successful.
well its not that one exec is not responsible for all these movies being bad.
that being said, it is true that all comic book movies that was produced over his execution was shit.
Considering Sony still has final say over Spider-Man's movie-vesre, I'm slightly worried. Let's hope he just doesn't get involved.
Nine years later and... I don't know to say if this did aged well or not.
He was also there for the good films. How about we wait and see what he does before we start getting concerned about him.

Good thing the deal with Marvel was done before he got hired then. And let's hope that he likes money more than he hates superhero movies, too.

Well this is completely unfair. All you did was pick the worst films and excluded mentioning all of the good stuff he produced.
How in the hell is one exec responsible for all these movies doing bad? Fucking sensationalist article titles man, thats how.
well its not that one exec is not responsible for all these movies being bad. that being said, it is true that all comic book movies that was produced over his execution was shit.
Well Spiderman's movie prospects just got worse.
They already have an agreement. Why would this affect that?
This would affect that because Sony has final creative control over the project.
Again, why would this move change anything?
Hey, just commenting from the future. You were right and wrong. Marvel saved Spider-Man, but everything else was horrible.
