Disney also made money on international distribution

Sony isn't just a movie studio. They're also just happen to be a somewhat prolific electronics company that made about, oh, 2.1 billion dollars last year. Sony has on multiple occasions considered scrapping movies entirely after a series of bombs only to be saved by a sudden blockbuster that manages to keep it all going.
Gone are the halcyon days where movies were ninety minutes and told one singular story (with a sequel here and there.) Movies were always about telling a story but the story didn't always have to be good; they were made to sell tickets and fill seats. Movies would have shoestring budgets and might be a hit or be a total flop. Didn't matter, though, because there'd be another movie out next week.
But then came the summer blockbusters. A movie made on fifty million made a hundred million. So they up the production costs, hire better actors, start using more and more cgi and special effects because this is gambling on a level that can make or break not just you but the entire company beneath you. It's a cut throat industry that sucks in massive amounts of money, gorging itself, growing in size and then spewing out whatever it can to the masses and all at the risk of either gaining even more of it precious sustenance or starving itself; leaving behind a carcass that the vultures are all to happy to pick clean.
I love movies. Always have, always will. It's not really commonly noticed except by film buffs but every ten-twenty years the film industry, much like the video game crash of the eighties, hits a sour patch and we're smothered with so much shit that films, as a whole, almost cease production. Films that were canned (Seventh Son, Three Stooges) are released to fill the time while studios bring in new ideas and new concepts, giving birth to a new generation of films. Superhero movies have a notorious level of sustainability but when you've had eleven years to build momentum it's gonna take some serious fuckup to stop that train.

Personally I thought Venom was better than Disney's recent Marvel movies.
I think the MCU should have ended with Avengers.
And call me petty but I hate Disney's version of Spider-Man and think ITSV was the best Spider-Man movie in the past decade. So I'm looking forward to a non MCU Spider-Man.

Venom was kind of Jenky like a lot of marvel movies. I think "Bane" Tom Hardy was the Big Guy who sold that movie on raw charisma

Their rights are to do a spider-man movie as part of the original sale (which was in 1989) it defined Peter Parker as Spider-Man and unchangeable aspects of the character. They also gained the rights to any characters that were developed from Spider-Man

Sorry, but I found Venom to be unwatchable. I will take any MCU movie over it. Even Captain Marvel (which I hated).
I get it: Disney Mouse Bad, but I'm judging the movies for what they are rather than the greedy Hollywood politics behind them.
If Tom Holland comes back for these next two movies and they turn out great, I will be super happy ... But Sony has given me many reasons to not trust them at all. I'm pessimistic about getting a good Spider-Man movie.

You might be in a minority.
Granted, I liked Venom (and I liked ITSV, too), but Tom Holland's Spidey is not bad either.
The only Marvel stinkers I've seen is Elektra and a bit of Ms. Marvel.
I skipped Punisher: War Zone, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, the abysmal Fantastic Four reboot, and Dark Phoenix.

Punisher: War Zone is great. It's one of those "so bad it's hilarious and entertaining" movies. Totally worth the watch.
Venom could never. It wishes it was Punisher: War Zone.

Fully agreed, Venom is mildly entertaining in parts, but it's an utterly unmemorable.
Even MovieBob's cow reaction to it succeeding was disappointing.

Disney, an enormous corporation that owns practically everything, has fostered a fan base that is frothing because another mega corp told them “no.”

As for that theme park ride posted a few pages back, I sincerely hope that thing gets shitcanned. Seeing everything Spider-Man related in the MCU having some sort of Iron Man shit tucked in there is absolutely awful. Before the MCU, Iron man had fuckin nothing to do with Spider-Man, hell for 20+ years Spider-Man literally wanted nothing to do with him:

That Universal ride is freakin' awesome.
I went to Universal about three years ago. It was first time I had been since I was in a stroller, so I don't remember much of that trip at all except for meeting the Marx Brothers while they were practicing their putting game and watching my brother getting into a 10 minute argument with Beetlejuice after he had said something mean to Yogi Bear (lol, the things we remember).
Anyway, before I went to Universal three years ago, I was asking people what they thought of the park. I got some pretty "meh" responses. Then, when I was there, I was completely blown away. I had an absolute blast.
I love me some DisneyParks, but Universal is every bit as good (and even better in many aspects). This is the park where you take your pre-teens and teenagers to, since it has more thrill rides than Disney. It's definitely more affordable too.
With Sony's deal with Disney ending now, I wonder if that also applies to the theme parks (please educate me if you know)? If so, that is a complete bummer, because Spidey is one of the best characters to meet.
