Disney’s share was 5% of the first day box office, which they were forgoing anyway due to the merchandising deal they made with Sony in 2011, in which Disney would have to pay $175m for Sony’s stake, plus $35m per future SM movie. The 5% first day take was only a discount on the $35m fee Sony was charging them, I…

Disney owns the character, Sony owns the license to the film rights and limited tv rights. The Marvel/Sony deal is extremely complicated, but essentially Sony and Marvel agreed to team up, Marvel could use him in the MCU and would handle the all creative direction for both solo and team up films, and Sony would…

Well, based on the backlash from this news, it appears that most people want Spidey in the MCU. Even if the current director, writers, and cast are with Sony, it will be very difficult, if not impossible, for them to continue the MCU-centric story being told if Spider-Man is not in the MCU. Which hints at a possible…

Fox doesn’t own anything anymore, they were recently bought out by Disney.

Why wouldn’t they? The Mouse is doing all the work on the creative/production side, and the success of this iteration of Spider-Man is due almost entirely to his inclusion in the MCU. Disney wanted a 50/50 co-financing agreement, meaning that they would also put in 50% of the production costs, this wasn’t just them…

If anything, I’d say “Fredo” is probably akin to a term like “Becky” in terms of level of insult. It’s not a particularly nice thing to call someone, but it’s also not a slur. It’s just describes a certain kind of person with specific negative traits.

He forgot how he performs when he doesn’t have Obama taking the lead.

Biden went into this thinking he could hide behind Barack Obama, and his time as Vice President. His campaign was hoping that everyone forgot about his record before that, and that he’d be able to run as “Uncle Joe,” the likable version of Joe Biden we all remember from the Obama Administration. Last night’s exchange…

He didn’t really say much worth talking about. He didn’t do terribly, but he also didn’t really move anyone that wasn’t already behind him. Many of his responses were the same non-answers he gave in 2016, and he’s never been big on detail in terms of policy. He was honestly lucky Harris focused her energy on Biden.

Yeah, he’s definitely been coasting on the popularity of his Senate run, not realizing that what works in Texas, doesn’t work everywhere else. Also, it seemed like he couldn’t decide whether to be more progressive or more moderate, and failed at both standing next to people both more moderate and more progressive than…

I was really impressed with Castro, but I think Warren is still stronger on policy, so Castro is running for VP or another cabinet position.

Especially with Cory Booker standing 3 feet from him.

Okay... and? Still has nothing to do with what I said. I didn’t “forget” anything, I simply wasn’t talking about Biden or anyone related to him, because whatever he did or didn’t do, has zero relation to how Bernie voters voted or didn’t vote.

Why are we talking about Biden now? Nothing to with with anything I said. 

You’ve earned it!

The fact that a tiny percentage of them voted for Trump doesn’t change this.

No, I posted in response to someone who said that Bernie supporters “overwhelmingly showed up on election day to vote for Clinton.” Based on the numbers from these three states this is not true. I wasn’t talking about Bernie voters who stayed home (a lot of them did though), I was specifically, countering the…

No one is arguing with the fact that more Republican-leaning voters would have voted for Bernie than for Hillary. You brought it up for some reason even though it was irrelevant to the discussion.
