Back in 1998 Sony had the chance to buy the rights to almost every Marvel character for 25 million. They opted to only buy the rights to Spider-Man for just 7 million, stating, "Nobody gives a shit about the other Marvel characters."

The idea that nobody cares about Marvel characters other than Spider-Man seems so foreign to us now, but back in 1998, this line of thinking wasn't completely off base.
There are people who care about cartoon characters?

There are some entertaining cartoons. That's the extent I care about cartoon characters. And the recent spider man games were a lot of fun.
I'm burned out on these super hero shows though, wife is watching some Marvel thing on Disney+ now. It is so awful. I feel like I'm watching a show on CW.

Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but having a wife who watches television (and that sort of thing) is a bad sign. She is being programmed in beliefs that probably are not in your (or her) interests.

If I was a shareholder, id say I care because there would be money to be made. So yeah, there are suckers who care and there are people who want to make money out of these suckers.

Different businesses, different concerns. Sony is a tech manufacturer who produces some entertainment media through production companies they own. Disney is nothing, but an entertainment media production company in every way that matters.

So what?
YOU had the opportunity to buy stocks of X, Y and Z in 1998, and you didn't.

That is like the time I bought 0.9 bitcoins in 2014 and bought 14 grams of cannabis with it.
