I remember being in a theatre watching Silver Surfer with a friend who was an encyclopedic comic book nerd.

He said it will only get worse from here.

I believe this was shortly after he wrote and then sold a screenplay for I think it was Cloak and Dagger. The industry was in an all out war to buy up all the rights, which meant purely corporate controlled future for comic book movies as indie studios were going to get sued to oblivion for trying.

Wait, is your friend responsible for the Cloak and Dagger TV show? Or was this back when it was still planned as a movie? (I might be confusing it with Runaways. Not sure which one was once planned as a movie)

This was a screenplay he sold to... I think Paramount in like 2006. He wrote barebone scripts so the studios could say they had the rights to something in the works. Paid off his college debt if I remember.
