Would Disney have pulled all Spider-Man stuff off their streaming service if Sony didn’t comply to their terms? Wouldn’t be much of a hit with all their content, but Spider-Man not being in kids face all the time would hurt Sony trying to create their own universe.

I don't think Sony owns the Spider-man TV rights, just the movie rights.

They don’t. I’m just saying if Disney deletes all Spider-Man content then gives the movie back to Sony without the other marvel products it will flop. But now just go 50/50 on money while putting all the tv shows on their service. They are essentially giving kids access to thirty years of Spider-Man to hype them up and force parents to bring them to theaters

They tried something similar with the X-Men, minimizing their presence and importance in the comics because Fox had the movie rights. They forbade artists from including them in certain promotional art. They tried to fill the void with the Inhumans, which is why they produced that TV series. None of the fans were happy with that.

With the Fantastic Four they went so far as to cancel the comic and split up the team. No one liked that either.

I think they’ve learned their lesson.

BTW, Sony didn’t comply to terms. Both parties adjusted to get the deal done.

You would be drastically surprised. They did a right thing in handing the X-Men over to a seasoned writer in Jonathan Hickman, but the comic hardly resembles the 80/90s X-Men. Hickman’s writing is good, but he’s a professor at the JJ Abrams School of Mystery Box writing and the story probably won’t end for several years.

In the meantime, most of the new books reek of the same issues they had before; Overpowered X-men one punching villains, no character development, bad California girl writing disguised as humor (like, whatever), characters no one cares about because they are the author’s self insert, characters acting different from the last forty years just to fit a poorly designed plot.

My point was that they'd learned their lesson about crippling series and characters because they no longer had the film rights to them.

More X-Men titles has never meant more quality. But usually we have one or two decent titles in the mix.
