Avengers Directors Say Sony Made A "Tragic Mistake" With Spider-Man MCU Split

People focus on Disney so they can be like "ooh evil Mouse empire wanting to control all the things!" while ignoring the biggest moral factor in this: MARVEL. Marvel created Spider-Man, they own everything about the character they created except for the movie rights which Sony bought for next to nothing from a Marvel company which was bankrupt at the time and selling everything that wasn't nailed down just to keep the lights on. They don't deserve to keep those rights, they didn't create the IP. It belongs with Marvel, period.

Sony don´t deserve to have the rights to anything.

I love how every person associated with Disney/Marvel acts like this was 100% Sony's doing. Clowns all around.

Jesus how does a douche bag company like Disney get to deflect pretty much all negative criticism. Sony refused to give Disney 50 percent of a character they owned. Its cute people keep acting like Disney did Sony a big favor but

a. Marvel did get helped by being able to use Spiderman in 3 movies, would those movies still make a lot of money. Yes. But its undeniable that Spiderman is one of the A listers of Marvel, Id put ahead of every one except maybe Iron Man. So its not like Disney got no other benefit. So for them to then go and say we want 50 percent of the cut of future films on top of that. pfft

People forget, Sony is almost does films as a hobby, its not one of their major money makers, and they are still a top ten top 20 company in the world. So honestly, the extra 400 million spiderman made over say venom, doesn't really amount to much to them.

b. Sony has nothing to worry about Disney in terms of gaming; they just sold their only gaming studio, and they have never been known for hardware despite how prolific they are in media. At the end of the day , I wouldnt even consider them competitors. Disney is pretty much solely a media company, while Sony is more akin to Microsoft a hardware developing conglomerate.

c. And lastly, it seems memory lose is in high demand here, as people keep acting like there was never a good super hero movie prior to Disney, the first 2 spiderman films rami did were pretty great, imo better than the two marvel ones, and the first two xmen movies and blade films were just as good as anything Disney has done.

Who needs who, well Disney definitely doesn't need Sony for sure. MCU finally made the movie version of Spider-man look cool. Sony has better keep doing animated features with the character to make the movies interesting because the live action films have been hokey, syrupy crap.

What do people expect them to say? They surely can't say Disney did a mistake.

Unpopular opinion but please stop making superhero movies. They are terrible nonsense. It was fun for sometime but it's the same shit in each and every movie.

What did you expect? Of course they're going to say that. They're not going to ruin that gravy train connection they have with Disney.

Same thing when developers are asked about the quality of their games. They're not going to crap where they eat.

Is that actually what happened? I thought Sony made it sound like Disney wouldn't let Feige work on it because they wanted him to work on their own properties, and Sony pulled out because it wasn't worth it without him.

I could be wrong but no comments here even mentioned SPIDER-MAN into the SPIDER-VERSE.

Here are some quotes taken directly from Wikipedia.

This film was produced by Sony Pictures Animation in association with Marvel, distributed by Sony Pictures, required up to 140 Sony Pictures animators, the largest animation crew that Sony Pictures had ever used for a film, is set in an alternate universe from those films without the version of Spider-Man as seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, had a production budget of $90 million, generated worldwide gross sales of $375.5 million, was released on digital download by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, surpassed Hotel Transylvania 2 to become Sony Pictures Animation's highest grossing film domestically, has a Rotten Tomatoes approval rating of 97%, based on 368 reviews, praised as "one of the coolest films [he has] ever seen" by Tom Holland, was called an "emotionally moving, cutting edge, progressive, diverse, funny, meta, action-packed, silly, visually stunning masterpiece!" by Chris Pratt, won Best Animated Feature Film at the 76th Golden Globe Awards & 24th Critics' Choice Awards, won the Best Animated Feature at the 91st Academy Awards, and was the first non-Disney or Pixar film to win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature since Rango (2011).

Enuff said....

Who knew? Sega gave the finger to Nintendo and Sony when it came to a merger, only to re-sign permanently in console manufacturing allowing Xbox original to rise building in the foundation so yes xbox is sega in spirit where it could have been.

Now Sony is playing Sega's old game.

I can sense a Disney console in the works.

There was one but it's not what I call profitable.

I'll bet Sony doesn't think it's a tragic mistake.

Disney will probably have to buy the rights back. They can afford it.

Sony did most of the work they deserve most of the cut. you people need to stop defending and bending over backwards for Disney.

Spider-mans movie rights belong to Sony NOT Disney they decide what cut they give simple.

there literally is no scenario where you could defend Disney, if you can please I need a good laugh. please tell me why you want to pull your pants down and bend over backwards for your LORD DISNEY. do you enjoy it, does it feel good?

Whether it was a good idea or bad why wouldn't someone on the Disney side say it was a mistake? It would only be newsworthy if one of the Sony Pictures figureheads said the decision was a terrible blunder or if one of the major MCU developers claimed Sony made the right call.

I think Sony can make a good Spider-man movie. THe Disney pitch was to make Spider-man a very important character just as Iron-man was. Without Iron man and Captain America, and now no spider-man, I wonder who is going to be the glue for the MCU.

It's a real bummer. The new Spider-man movies were really good, and I was looking forward to him being a big part of the next round of Marvel movies. : \

These types of stooges never fail to make me sigh and shake my head. But as bad as they are, at least they are actually working for those they are shilling for. It's the masses of brain-dead sheep who enable, defend and act as apologists that are the real issue.

Plus, the way I look at it.. The further away Disney and the current Marvel are from something, the better!

Wont it be better for everyone involved if Sony makes the 50/50 deal with Marvel, make more movies with the MCU Spiderman and then create their own Spiderman set in a different universe? preferably with Venom? They can just take another shot or as many as they like to make a new Spiderman.. they can even try other Spidermen like Miles Morales or Miguel O'hara. I guess it will be kind of hard for them but then again if they cant do a good Spiderman without Marvel then they just lose that MCU money and lose some for bad Spiderman movies. That said, it will be kind of hard to make a bad Spiderman movie.. as a fan i kind of loved all of them. Including Spiderman 3 and The Amazing Spiderman 2

Don't blame Sony for that, Disney got greedy and tried to change the deal.
