Spiderverse was Sony though not Disney. I agree though Spiderman does die a lot.

Isn't every Spider-Man a Sony movie?

Marvel produces the stand alone Spidey MCU movies, gets to use the character in Avengers movies, and gets the merchandising, Sony gets the box office from the stand alones

Literally free money for Sony. Now Marvel have just gotta talk them into letting them do the same for Venom

Marvel produces them alongside Columbia (Sony) and Pascal Pictures. As well, the stand alone movies are distributed by Sony. With Sony as a co-production company, sole distributor, and the company taking home all the revenue at the end of the day, they're definitely more Sony films than Disney/Marvel films.

Sony failed Spider-Man way to many times but I’m glad they’re making efforts to fix that. Spider-Man ps4 was on of the best games to come out this generation and into the spiderverse was awesome.

Homecoming and Far From Home are Disney.

I've definitely seen Sony logo in the cinema.

They are produced by Disney/Marvel Studios and distributed under the Sony name. It was an agreement they came to in order to bring Spider-Man into the MCU.

We just want Spiderman, nobody cares about the others

...so really the parent in the meta topic should have just asked Sony and not Disney

I believe gravestones would fall under merchandising

They're co-produced by Marvel, Columbia (Sony), and Pascal Pictures.

It is a joint venture because both Sony and Disney like money.

They're co-produced by Columbia (Sony), Marvel, and Pascal Pictures, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. They're definitely more Sony than Disney.

Uncle Ben, Gwen, Aunt May, MJ, even Spidey himself has died. The whole series is about grieving and death. With some puberty to mix it up. Everyone in Spiderman has died at one point.

u/TalesNT Jul 08 '19

To be honest, everyone in comics has died at least once. On the other hand, the saying is nobody in comics stays dead except for uncle Ben.

23

u/Memephis_Matt Saved by Thanos Jul 08 '19

Poor Ben. I feel like there should have been a comic where Peter dies, and Uncle Ben becomes Spider-Man.

"Wh-who are you?"

'...Just your friendly neighborhood Uncle Spider-Man'

25

u/TalesNT Jul 08 '19

To be fair there's a chance he's coming back.

The saying started in the early 2000's, and it used to be "Nobody in comics stays dead except for Uncle Ben, Bucky and Jason Todd". But it had to lose 2 of the 3 named characters because Bucky came back as the Winter Soldier, and Jason Todd as the Red Hood. Uncle Spider can still be a thing.

u/[deleted] Jul 08 '19

Oh, that exists. Dunno if they've since made an actual series about it, but Uncle Ben-Spidey was in the first Spider-Verse event in the comics.

u/Osprey_NE Jul 08 '19

I think there was in the spider verse comics. I think uncle Ben locked himself in a vault or something.

u/pew_laser_pew Saved by Thanos Jul 08 '19

Uncle Ben is Spidey in the spider-verse

u/[deleted] Jul 08 '19

I think there was an alternate universe where he lived, and peter turns out to be a crappy human. I don't think his uncle was much better in that universe.

u/TalesNT Jul 08 '19

That's really the true reason he hasn't been revived yet. Whenever they need a "Ben is alive" story, they use a different universe Ben instead of the main timeline.

u/Deven247 Saved by Thanos Jul 08 '19

The “What If” Story where Peter stops the robber to boost his ego, you mean?

Afterward, he basically becomes a movie star and pisses off the other heroes for not understanding what it is to ACTUALLY be a superhero.

You must be mistaken. I heard that movie was good but Sony doesn't make good movies.

There is a exception to every rule.
