Why is Spider-Man's incorporation into other MCU films, plus a large profit in merchandising, not a fair trade for time spent developing Spider-Man films? That was Disney/Marvel's goal, no?


Likely because it became a bigger deal than either thought it would, and so it went from a passable deal to one that isn't very smart, business-wise, for Disney. They could just be decent people and continue it, anyway, but businesses aren't ever "decent people" in pretty much any situation involving money.

Both sides are greedy in this instance. Disney wants more money because they have bigger dollar signs in their eyes after seeing how well it's been doing. Though they also want to co-finance, so it'd be a case of both companies putting money in and both companies getting paid, instead of just Sony putting money in and getting paid. But Sony currently very much likes being the only one putting money in and getting paid because it means they get paid much more. And they have the perk of being able to "This was the original deal, after all."
