Poll Who is at fault for the breakdown in negotiations between Sony and Disney? (62 votes)

Disney. 44%
Sony 31%
Neutral stance/Undecided. I can see it from both sides 26%

Some say its Disney faults for asking for too much while others say it is Sony's, and that Disney are right for asking 50/50 since they do all the work. Where do you stand?

Seeing as both spiderman movies were actually made by Sony/ Columbia, I'm guessing it was Disney just asking for more money just to be involved

Both suck. But Sony is notoriously greedy which is why they tried to ruin Raimis movies and caused Raimi to quit

I tend to blame the side that pulled a Darth Vader and changed the existing deal rather than the side that decided the new deal they never agreed to was too much and decided to leave.

Disney. Asking 50% of Box Office is just scummy! There is no way Sony can afford to lose that much money plus Disney get all the merchandise money which is more than Box Office.

Anyway, Disney was pretty stupid trying to make a character that they don't have rights next Ironman. On the Downside, Sony will struggle to make sequel with Ironboy without MCU.Disney really did an incredible tying up Spiderman into MCU.

From my understanding of the issue. Disney. Sony seems to have wanted to continue the relationship just not change it.

So what does this really mean? How disconnected is this going to make on going spider-man films from the rest of the MCU? Are they just never going to mention these events/characters again?

Disney, greedy rats. Not that I'm mad about this though, I never much cared for Iron Boy.

Too much money on the table to not ask for a better cut.

Probably Disney. Sony is in a pretty pathetic position with Spider-Man being their one true goldmine. Disney'll have to pry that from their dead bodies.

It's pretty clear that Disney were mainly at fault here, and as much as I don't really care about multibillion dollar corporations, I kinda feel sorry for Sony with all the crap they're gonna have to take from the rabid MCU fanboys who think Disney's execs are saints.

Disney wanted 500 millions dollars for free. Disney wanted 50% of the profits from a new contract.

Neutral

People are acting like Disney wanted 50% of the profits and leaving it at that. No, they wanted 50% of the profits under the condition that they’d help finance 50% of the production. I’m not seeing how that’s greedy, if they wanted to just take 50% of the profits and still expect Sony to leg up all the costs for production, then there’d be a leg to stand on. If anything, it seemed like they purposely started off high

On the other hand

Sony do have the right to do what they just did, since they still own the film rights. I would’ve just negotiated more to shorten the split and probably receive more of a cut from Spider-Man’s other MCU appearances outside of solo films, along with other conditions but that’s just me

Either way, negotiations are probably still under way tbh so we’ll see how things go

It's Disney. I've defended them multiple times in the past, but this is on them. Not to say Sony is entirely blameless here, but they were willing to continue the contract for a third movie business as usual and Disney is the one who got greedy and rocked the boat. 50% for a franchise they don't even own? Who would ever agree to something like that?

I've already said it but I'll say it again. It's clearly Disney, you're free to have your opinion but if you can still say it was 100 percent on Sony after hearing Sony offered a 70/30 deal and Disney was the one that didn't budge on their ridiculous amount. I'm not sure what to tell you

@mike_fowler: looking for the exact document. John Campus cam across himself before his live show got to the topic and was reading of either Sonys own conference or something else. Looking for the exact origin.

The antisemitism isn't that surprising when half this site's userbase sound like those dumb cunts who shoot up schools or brown people because girls don't like their creepy unwashed ass, and because of how empty they are inside. Never really took ANTHP for one of those though.

Also this Spider-Man shit is still fucking hilarious.

Pretty sure they were just participating in low effort humor. Actual anti-antisemitism implies hostility or prejudice against them. That's one problem with our society today. Suggesting a joke like that actively makes people racist causes people to actually become racist when they feel like they have nothing left to lose by going farther.
