I mean, the Raimi movies are looked back on pretty fondly and made millions. Spider Man 3 may not have reviewed the best, but it still made $895M at box office, which is an enviable sum today, almost 20 years later.
Sure, and without Sony paying for the rights and making them, there would be no Iron Man.
But it's time to recognize that Sony does not have the skill and commitment required to make a Sinister Six or Spider Women multi-movie franchise.
