That’s great news!
This cracked me up..Great, now the nerds will stop whining about their favorite grown men in onesies and capes potentially not being accurately portrayed on film!

Seems like it should be only natural for Spider-Man's status to swing back and forth.
wtf?
wtf?
sony blinked.
what a big time cave in

Not really. This just kicks things down the road a bit. If the thing I read is correct, its pretty short. Basically it extends to like 2 more movies (one Spider-Man with Feige producing, and one with him in the MCU; they'll almost certainly be returning to this discussion in a few years).
This means Sony is practically guaranteed another $500million pay day out of Spider-Man, which is hard to pass up, while retaining the rights as well. Works out for Marvel too as they keep their current plans in order.
Which, yeah in a way Sony probably should've played hard ball, but there's a possibility that Spider-Man will be even more important to Marvel after those next two movies.

Marvel Movie Rights Graphic Updated to Version 8 (9/27/2019)
Update: Marvel and Sony reached an agreement to bring Spider-Man back for one more movie and a cameo in the MCU. Back in the 1990s M...www.thegeektwins.com
Yeah, the only thing worse are the Trekkies
What Star Trek minor character do you wish the show had covered more?
Can be from any of the seasons. I would have liked to know more about Guinan on The Next Generation. Seems like a missed opportunity for a rich backstory about her species.forums.anandtech.com
The Nerd Crew is great, I get a very distanced view of the general behavior of modern corporatized geek culture. How else would I have known about the one dipshit having a meltdown because he wasn't invited to Disney's Star Wars thing despite shilling for them constantly? Thankfully I got to bypass the actual pathetic manbaby crap entirely but enjoy the schadenfreude of it.
I had no clue most of that shit even existed (only knew about Loot Crate and the like because they advertised on like ALL the podcasts for awhile there) until RLM started poking fun at it with the Nerd Crew. Early on I even looked at the comments as I had no clue what they were poking fun at (it seemed a little on the nose for them to have randomly come up with some of their bits), and wow I can't believe that shit is real.
I do love how Mike does that while being a full on Trekkie that almost literally cannot have a legit discussion without talking about Star Trek.
the problem that remains with that one is that the "Netflix" content is also wholly owned by Disney, and has already been cancelled for Netflix. IF any of it reappears, it will be on Disney's streaming service.
