    Yep. I don't know why this is a surprise to anyone.

    Public outrage and reversal forthcoming.

    All the more ridiculous when you consider they made it big stealing public domain fairy tales. Imagine if there was a troll like them tolling that bridge way back when.

    Oh yeah, aren't we not that far off from that special time when Disney magically gets the copyright law altered to keep " Steamboat Willie" off the Public Domain for just a while longer?

    Tell me one company that has listened to fan feedback and done the best they can for the fans more than Disney.

    The coffin was adorned with Spider-Man, but the headstone was refused.

    Tencent (bc they are afraid of rabid Asian fangirls) and Hasbro (especially MLP, so many fan characters and stories added to the show and toys, even 30 years ago for TF fans bringing back OP from the dead til now doing everything fanboys request of them).

    Fox and Seth Mcfarlane for providing us with the Orville, that alone means more to me personally, and many others I know than anything Disney has done in the way of visual media in the last two decades as it filled a serious void on TV.

    It's easy to take a company that is approaching monopoly over a whole industry and shout it's praises since there is nearly no one left to fight it, no one left to compare them to.

    Not mention the deaths that have occured in the Spiderman comics, Gwen Stacy for example. Hell Spiderman's inaction got his own uncle ben killed right out the gate in his origin story.

    Realistically, they should let you just pay some nominal fee. They don't even let you do that. Just crybaby stories about how expensive lawyers are. Draft a standard one-off contract, hook it up to a credit card processor, and profit for doing nothing already.

    You know what? Fuck copyright. Disney even had a similar issue with this with Pre-Schools putting their characters on the windows.
    Goes to show how the family corporation really doesn't care about the people who are dedicated to them. Why would Disney even have a problem with this?

    So... decorate the tomb with as much Spiderman memorbilia as possible now. I don't think the copyright can ban buying Spiderman products and setting them by a tombstone.

    Stinks but there's a way around the souless copyright lawyers.

    Yeah, I don't see a problem with this option at all, and in the end, everyone could get what they want.

    If it's one of those glossy ones, he might be able to add one of those car decals to it. They stay through all kinds of weather.

    It was about the people still alive at this point. To have his son's favorite character who brought happiness to his son with his son until the planet is destroyed was what mattered to this man.

    I'm well aware of that. In the end, the dead don't care.

    Like all other companies, I judge Disney on a product-by-product basis. I love some of their work (like the Marvel movies), I strongly dislike others (the overall direction of Star Wars, and most of the live-action remakes), and some are hit and miss (their modern animated movies, and modern Pixar). I could probably divide Disney into thirds: one third I like, one third I dislike, and one third I'm not interested enough to even watch. I would never boycott all Disney products, but I also don't get the extreme love (or extreme hatred) some people have for the overall company. I guess to me they're just another company, like Universal or Warner Bros. I'll watch their stuff that interests me, and skip what doesn't.
