Marvel is doing terribly. Star Wars is a pseudo-dead franchise. Its parks are overpriced and increasingly woke. Yeah, ESG is the only thing propping it up.
I've heard one mention of a Disney property among my relatively normie friends since Infinity War/Rise of Skywalker (outside of Spiderman) and it was that it was weird how Hawkeye only just now is getting his own thing considering he was in the first of those movies. That's it.
IIRC from Clownfish.TV covering it, it was a 70/30 split in Sony's favor for revenue. But more importantly, it was pretty much all Sony who came up with the story.
If anyone on our side ever gets elected they need to impose some kind of anti-ESG regulations. Corporations should get taxed higher if they score higher on non-fundamental (profit) metrics.
I thought ESG came about as a footnote in legislation late in the Obama admin circa 2015. I'd have to look for that tidbit as I don't pay a lot of attention to legislation that isn't directly estate tax or firearms related.
You can't do that now, the government has spend a century carefully molding multi-trillion-dollar favorites who will be the winners for another century or more unless their ill-gotten gains are stripped from them.
Disney has been a sell for a decade now to anyone with a brain.

Sony would literally fucking die before it ever gives up the Spiderman license.
They own it purely out of spite.
Spiderman is not Disney Marvel. That is Sony. I don't think Disney gets the Box Office Revenue, only the merchandising rights.
I think they may get a tiny bit out of the new ones because of the mcu characters that show up, but the lions share goes to Sony
