Yeah, especially after seeing 'Infinity War', I don't get how some people can see what they've been shown and say they are excited for it, other than for the most shallow of reasons. Much like with Fox and WB, I feel more people should hold these studios with higher standards, especially with what Marvel has accomplished so far.

They say they're holding back on filming 'Silver & Black' for script reasons, but I like to think it's because they want to see how 'Venom' turns out (I predict it will do as well as 'Catwoman' did for DC, in terms of a live-action superhero movie focusing on a villain but without the hero they are strongly associated with), before they go ahead with that, 'Morbius' (ugh) and 'Nightwatch' (seriously?).

One idea I've heard thrown around as to why Sony is doing this even when Marvel are doing Spider-Man for them, is by making movies of their own with the license, it will increase the value of it, therefore making them more money than before when they decide to sell back the license to Marvel (although I don't know any of the studios in the past could've done that). Remains to be seen if they even manage to do that, considering how badly Sony Pictures have been doing lately financially.
