Yeah, it's more like "look, we've proven that using our filmmaking development process and brand synergy results in successful movies and increased profits. Now that you've seen it can work, we'd like to split the costs and rewards evenly. Oh, and future movies would also benefit from our marketing expertise, you wouldn't have to (mis)handle that by yourselves."
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Hey. New board.
Maybe Disney has a fair argument, but from my perspective it seems Sony was happier before, I was happier before, Marvel Studios was probably happier before, and Disney had plenty of money. Disney made a move intended to make their (not exactly entirely home grown) near-monopoly on blockbuster cinema even closer to a true monopoly, and now I'm sad. If they had left well enough alone, none of this would have happened.
Disney already owns like 80% of all cinema profits. I'm not too fussed about them losing a few hundred million dollars every two years, and it's not like they didn't get anything out of the existing deal.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I certainly wasn't happier with Sony's handling of the Spider-Man property before Marvel got involved.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Miss Marvel show on Disney+! Goddamn their market dominance, but they keep making awesome stuff.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Holy crap, I will definitely subscribe if they do a Ms. Marvel series!

And She-Hulk and Moon Knight, too!
Although, I doubt that any of these shows will be arriving any time soon.

Hey. New board.
Squirrel girl! Squirrel girl!
She would make an excellent MCU spider Man replacement too.

Alert to Plei: check out The Red Sea Diving Resort on Netflix. Reviews are largely terrible, but it stars Chris Evans in the bearded long hair mode you like. Bonus, in at least one scene he's nakeder than he's been on film since What's Your Number?.
