So they make the Spider-Verse movie explicitly making fun of how many reboots they've done in the last ~20 years, and the very next thing that happens is another reboot

Ride or die I guess

Didn't they make it explicit that the first Peter Parker we see is the one from the Sam Raimi universe?

I think we even see him doing the weird dancing from Spider-man 3

edit: yeah, I checked, we see him doing the dance, stopping the train

But then again, we definitely don't have Otto Octavius in that universe - or Gwen Stacey, things are confusing

All the spider-people are amalgamations of various aspects of the movies, comics and miscellaneous media. Both Prime Peter and Peter B have traits of the Raimi Spider-man, while Peter B has traits of the old Lee-Ditko Spidey in being aloof and petty. (Seems implied to be a regression since his marriage fell apart) And Spider-Gwen is seen sucked into a portal while fighting a presumed Doc Ock with metallic tentacles. They just use those scenes as touchstones they can expect a large segment of the audience to recognise, with the implication that similar but not identical (given Spidey is in full costume for those scenes when he wasn't in the Raimi movies) events happened prior to the beginning of the movie. Peter B might be the audience surrogate here, since he's the most surprised by the things the movie does differently.

It’s really just Disney trying to strong arm. The first two Spider-Man movies had 100% financing from Sony and Disney taking a 5% cut. Now Disney was demanding Sony supply 100% financing and give Disney a 50% cut in exchange for the privilege of paying Paul Feige to produce their movie.

It's being reported as a 50/50 financial split (idk where the hell that 50% cut of the profits is from), but the whole point was to gin up outrage among the fanbase, with each company assuming it will help their own negotiating position.

Yeah it was 50/50 on costs and profits, which isn't crazy for a partnership?

Crazy is doing anything to gently caress up a cash cow that people are genuinely enjoying. I hope they kiss and make up because the goodwill loss on this may be significant, and I think if it was a gamble on Sony's part that most people would be mad at the MCU/Disney instead of Sony they guessed wrong.
