You'd think this would mean that Sony would treat Spider-Man with more care and respect...but nope!

Glad to know that Spider-man is still loved. Idk why I thought his popularity wasn't as strong anymore. Probably because of the movies.

Spider-Man is THE most beloved and popular character in comics. The only one's who think otherwise are DC Commie Fanboys or Batman Fanboys who think he can beat anyone with prep. Lol!

And that's why Marvel Studios/Disney kept all the Merch rights for the Spider-man movies.

Spider-Man is the no at universal hero ever. He's just so beloved by the world more tHan other heroes. It's easy to see why. He's an Everyman with everyday problems, he's a teen which relates to teenagers etc. He fights crime in the worlds most popur city and one I it's biggest. His powers are incredibly unique.

Have to agree. Spider-Man is an amazing character (no pun intended). As for the movies, think its time for a reboot.

Reading Thanos Rising now.....on the 3rd issue.....a bit underwhelming origin for the Mad Titan.

Even though Sony is butchering Spidey, he still overcomes their stumbling. It's Spider-Man, bitches!

TheAmericanPatriot - 11/15/2014, 10:25 AM
Sony must be kicking themselves for giving Disney the Spider-Man merchindising rights back. While WB is kicking themelves for buying DC Comics. LMAO!!!

Crazy that Spidey by himself made more than Avengers, Batman, and Supes combined.

And Marvel is secretly scheming to get Spidey's movie rights back from Sony, so that they can incorporate him into the Avengers, and then further blow up (in a good way) the Marvel Universe.

Spiderman has been the most popular character for years. Even with fanboy complaints about the TASM series, that won't change. Anyone thinking that Sony is hurting Spiderman's popularity should look at these graphs. $1.3 Billion in 2014? That's insane.

I remember hearing that Spider-Man is mega popular in Asia especially in Japan.

Asia's most popular heroes (top 3):

1. Spider-Man
2. Iron Man
3. Batman

Spiderman, Spiderman
Earns way more than Batman can
Spins his web, any size,
Catches money just like flies
Look Out!
Here comes the Spiderman.

Is he rich?
Listen bud,
He made Superman his bitch.
Can he earn a great amount?
Look at his big bank account
Hey, there
There goes the Spiderman.

In a merchandise sale
At a kid's toy store
He surely won't fail
To always earns more.

Spiderman, Spiderman
Friendly neighborhood Spiderman
Wealth and fame
He's accrued
More than any superhero, dude.

To him, life is a great big cash in
Marvel's made a great stash in
Selling the Spider man.

Two things:


1. Its sad X-Men aren't anywhere on that chart. Show how poorly Fox has handled their brand.

2. Avengers has the highest growth potential and is already beating Superman in worldwide sales. Tells me all I need to know about how movie success can change a comic book franchise's marketability in around 5-8 years.

Are y'all stupid? " you think Sony would treat spidey with more respect" did you read the article? They don't even need to treat it with respect, why would they when they know they'll make a shit trillion amount of money? Quality doesn't matter when you have a jugarnaught of a franchise. I've been saying it for years now. Avengers may have made the third most BO Money but spider-man is and will be for a very long time the most popular and iconic marvel character. Anyone who says other wise is in denial and cannot stand the fact that marvel studios doesn't own what could potentially bring them even more money.

Why?

@CaptainAmerica31 -

But Sony isn't the one making money off the merchandise, its Marvel that does.

Sony's cut is coming from their underperforming, lackluster movie franchise.

Im surprised that Batman and Superman don't make more than they do. Kids in general like Spider-Man more though.
