Because Sony makes bad marvel movies... and Spider-Man belongs with marvel, he’s one of their flagship characters and they bastardized him... they released this language in a statement today:

“We hope this might change in the future, but understand that the many new responsibilities that Disney has given him—including all their newly added Marvel properties—do not allow time for him to work on IP they do not own. “

The audacity of saying that’s Spider-Man is intellectual property that marvel does not own, while technically accurate in terms of movie rights pisses me off, they have zero respect for the source material where marvel approaches it with levels of story telling that has never been done before.

The coolest part of picking up a marvel comic to me as a kid was being able to see other characters cross over into different titles. Just my 2 cents but I’m hoping you are right Villano and this is just posturing...
also would love some 3.75” figures but im with you goldbug I’ll just save the money for vacations and retirement lol
