I'm talking about "Disney needs Marvel money ASAP to cover the Fox bid." That is laughable. Disney doesn't need anything. They have all the properties they need, they don't need Spider-Man's film profits. It's Sony that has far more interest in the property than Disney and understandably are not willing to share such profits so generously of a property they own.
The words before: "Sony thinks..."?
Both companies are thinking financials. Sony knows they have a sure thing franchise. That's a lot easier to sell than Blade or whatever. It's why Marvel came to the table in the first place.
Disney knows they have the IP to pay it back anyway and then some, but the stock market runs on "now". I'm pretty sure both companies would rather announce a Spider-Man deal than back out and foil it with promises of future Morbius/F4 returns.
So in a way, you're right. It is laughable. Both parties think the others position is so laughable that they are willing to test the public on it, first.
