Sony made profit by cutting out politics & agendas and just giving the money-spending, original fans ‘what they want’, as opposed to Disney trying to tell fans to forget the the past and “*this is what you should like, *now.

“*pffffff” *? - More ‘hot air’, or feeling a bit ‘deflated’ by entertainment and capitalism from ‘the West’ succeeding, without restrictions or unnecessary censorship. Good Job, Sony! Wishing you all the success in the World:

Except that the recent 3 Spiderman movies are 100% made by Disney. Sony has no creative control at all. They are only involved because they purchased the rights to the Spiderman character years ago from Marvel publishing. Marvel Studios, wholly owned by Disney, give Sony a cut of the profits to use the character in their Marvel Cinematic Universe movies.

The Venom movies, a spinoff of Spiderman's comicbook character, are wholly controlled by Sony. They kinda suck, and aren't making the kind of money the Spiderman films do.
