Sony has shit all over Spiderman on their own for a long fucking time. Disney and feige made this shit and a billion dollar movie. Disney getting 5% or 50 million for the lastest movie is rediculous. They deserve a bigger take but 50% was unreasonable. This is just posturing for the short term.

I agree that this is a lot of posturing for both sides, and it's beneficial for both to work something out.
I think it will end up with something with Sony giving Marvel a bigger share of the profits in exchange for the ability to use Spider-man in their universe. Most likely with a script approval from Marvel just for the aspect concerning Spider-man so he's used in a consistent manner and no lasting changes is made to the character.

You must have a very short memory. The OG Spider-Man trilogy was box office gold. The first two shattered all sorts of box office records. But more importantly, Spiderman 2 was actually a fantastic movie, something that can't be said about any of these gag-inducing cookie cutter MCU films.
Sony did it once, they can do it again.

I don't disagree, it's just that we've had emo-Toby and dubstep Electro since then, so it's hard to give Sony the benefit of the doubt when the foundation for the current franchise has been gutted and they're left to fill in the blanks.

I put most of the blame for the Garfield flicks on hiring a director who's only major work had been some faggy indy chick flick. I have no idea how anyone thought that would translate into a quality Spiderman movie.
Spiderman 3 the problem was the script, no reason for 3 villains and 4 love interests. The focus should have been on Peter and Harry.

No. He's right about Spiderman 2. It very well may be the best comic book movie ever.

When the MCU started, I believe Spiderman, Xmen and Fantastic Four were their biggest comic book properties and Captain America, Hulk & Ironman had some general population name recognition. Marvel had sold off the movie rights to all their most easily marketable shit, so the MCU had to elevate everything they've made past Captain America and Ironman from basically nothing in the public's eyes to the heights they are at now.

The Garfield movies were objectively bad. The first Spiderman film was quite good. Spiderman 2 is nearly in its own stratosphere with the only thing coming close being Dark Knight and maybe Logan. Spiderman 3 was pretty weak but at least it had the balls to take risks and attempt to do something new. On re-watch it still holds up better than most of the piss-soaked MCU films with their paint-by-numbers plots and disgusting over use of CGI. Never saw Venom.

unfortunately stan's lee daughter is apparently a huge piece of shit who would regularly abuse her mom and dad, spends money like one of our resident degenerates spends on our hookers
Stan Lee Needs a Hero: Elder Abuse Claims and a Battle Over the Aging Marvel Creator
At Marvel in New York in the '60s, he created the comic book characters that dominate the box office today. But at 95 and reeling from his wife’s death and a fight with his daughter, Lee stands at the center of a nasty battle for his care (and estate) as one friend pleads for help: "He's in need...

Even more fucked up is a story about how his daughter basically ordered a nurse to drain 3 pints of blood from Stan Lee a few years ago and used that to sell autographed shit for insane prices. How much of a piece of shit kid do you have to be to drain your dad's blood, LITERALLY.

Ah yes, a prime example of the absurdist, cheese-dick style humor that disconnects the audience from the narrative and makes it impossible for MCU films to connect on any level other than "huehuehue". Thank you for sharing.
