No. Nononononono. No. Nooooo. NoooooOoOoOOO.
Yeah, that’s our first reaction, too. And the whole Internet’s. After many years of being deprived of one of the most iconic Marvel superheroes in the MCU, we fans will once again be kept away from Spidey. Please say sike.
Internet: “Marvel Studios and Sony end their deal for #SpiderMan meaning Spider-Man will be no apart of the MCU.”

What do you think is easier? Pulling this broken ship back together? Or Sony keeping director Jon Watts onboard? Or brokering the Sony-Disney agreement? It’s hard to decide when capitalism’s looming over all of us like some Avengers-level-threat monster.

He just wants to live out his high school life peacefully (or as peacefully as possible in the MCU). And not lose Uncle Ben. Again. Was it wrong to think third time’s the charm?

In Avengers: Endgame, losing Peter Parker is one of Tony Stark’s primary motivations in agreeing to travel back in time and undo the results of Thanos’ snap. And this felt like losing the kid all over again. We aren’t ready to go back there. Too soon.

The creator himself said Tom Holland was perfect as Spider-Man. And having him in the MCU gave that ground-level perspective in an otherwise cosmic and other-worldly universe. Removing Spidey from all that? Stan Lee might just come down to haunt us.

Hey, Sony, here are a couple of ideas for the title of the next Spider-Man film. And hey, Disney, maybe you can produce a film starring the European knock-off Night Monkey?

We agree. Let’s just talk it out. And Sony, Disney, listen to the fans.
Entertainment Weekly reports the studios are still going through negotiations, and with the public’s reaction, we’re hoping they’re going to take this all into account.
Because honestly, Sony and Disney can’t just ignore the fans. Because fans are the ones bringing in the money. Deals are useless if you don’t have an audience giving you money.

Well, at the end of the day, we can’t really do much except react and rant and post memes and let the studios know how we as fans feel about this move. D23 Expo, Disney’s bi-annual convention, is happening this weekend, and fingers crossed, we get some good news by then.
In the meantime, let’s just enjoy this accurate summary of the Internet exploding right after the news broke. Everyone’s just ready to fight like the world is about to end. (Which, by the way, it is. #SaveAmazonia!!!)
