That may be well and good but at the end of the day Disney is still a greedy bastard.

Lol at boycotting a movie unless there is racism or supporting an evil war or politics regime type stuff. Boycotting it Bc they didn’t wanna give up some money for the love of the character is silly. F Disney and Sony. It’s a business and all about money. Lol at you naive folks

Reading up on this Tom rothman dude, who was formerly at fox (and infamously rejected deadpool and was behind what happened to the character at the end of origins) and his role at Sony where he took over for ole girl Amy..
“Tom is thinking ‘Okay, we’ve learned everything we need to from Kevin’s playbook. We did Venom on our own and we did Spider-Verse,'” comments a Sony insider.

Quoted for this page because everyone needs to read that link as it goes into detail and shows the real percentage of the deal.
Also reading up on who runs Sony's film division and what he's done at his previous job at Fox...

How you go from Amy and all that e-mail leak controversy to the guy that sewed DP's mouth shut in Origins and was against a DP movie.
Like c'mon, where was Avi Arad when you needed him

first disney wanted 50/50, then they were actually wiling to go 30% and willing to go as low as 20%... now sony was offering 25% but disney wanted more
SPIDER-MAN: Sony Reportedly Was Willing To Concede 25% Of Franchise
There's been a lot of finger-pointing from both sides since the news broke, but according to a new report from Variety, negotiations initially came up for renewal around six months ago. Some claim Sony did not move to act on a new pact while other insiders refute that and claim it was Disney that was no longer interested in continuing the partnership.
Even though several numbers have been floated around, it is now strongly believed that Disney was seeking, at least, a 50/50 partnership for the Spider-Man franchise, which Sony was unsurprisingly not on board with. Sony, however, was willing to potentially offer up to 25% of the Spidey film franchise to formally welcome Disney as a co-financing partner in exchange for the services of Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige. Disney declined.
One insider noted that Disney may have had some extra motivation in pulling away from negotiations following the failure of X-Men: Dark Phoenix as the studio reportedly wants Feige's full attention on the newly-acquired characters from 20th Century Fox, which include the X-Men, Deadpool and Fantastic Four. The source claimed Disney co-chairman Alan Bergman had been insisting on ending talks with Sony for some time and was the one who had been representing the studio during renegotiation talks with uncertain motives.
For Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home, Disney held approximately 5% of first-dollar gross and own all licensing rights, the latter of which will be retained regardless of whether they strike a new film deal with Sony or not, meaning Spidey could - and likely will - still appear at Disney World, but not in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
There is a small sliver of hope in all this uncertainty as Sony Pictures chief Tom Rothman has a long history of being a master negotiator and there are insiders that believe the very public nature of this breakup may just be a tactic to force Disney's hand into accepting more favorable terms for both sides.
Despite a conflicting report earlier today, Variety also confirmed that Tom Holland will be back for, at least, two more Spider-Man films and has an option to renegotiate his current deal in the not-so-distant future. A crossover with Tom Hardy's Venom is also said to be in the cards.

While I’m sure the Disney and Marvel executives are far from angels, she isn’t exactly innocent either.

Sony isnt that incompetent with the right formula they can make good movies on par with the best CBM movies(Spiderman 2 and Spiderverse) I feel like they'll reach an agreement soon though.

From a business standpoint, what else would you call it? Because from my vantage point Disney is practicing strong arm tactics. It may have worked with Fox, but Sony ain't no gardening tool.I wouldnt call what theyre doing "standing up"
