As for relaunching the franchise to make it more grim, gritty and realistic? Come on, can we really expect realism from a comic book that originates from cosmic rays and includes the Mole Man and a megalomaniacal dictator named Doctor Doom as antagonists? The Spiderman and X-Men were successful and were not dark and gritty (X-Men was somewhat dark in places, yes). As a movie studio you can successfully dive into the emotional turmoil and grim realities of characters such as Batman, Punisher, and Daredevil, but for some franchises, how 'bout the filmmakers try reading the original comics and make films that don't take a #$@$# on the source materials.
