Well, Raimi's first two films and Spider-verse are better than Homecoming and Far From Home. They don't need Disney to succeed with the character, but they could just as likely faceplant, too. Regardless, I'm sure this is disappointing for MCU fans.

Yup Sony, the company that butchered Spider-Man and Ghost Rider since 2007 and only made as much money off the current iteration of Spidey BECAUSE of the MCU connection is better off rebooting Spider-Man for the 4th (!) time after failing to do so TWICE on their own.

That'll end well.

Sony's mistake with the Sam Raimi series was giving him too much control.  The first two were good films, but the third sucked because Raimi was given full writing control.  He made his fave villian, Sandman, play too important a role in Spider-Man's backstory.  He pretty much turned him into a Gary Stu.  That and the fans were clamoring for Venom, but Raimi doesn't really like Venom, so got his character all wrong.  It's really a shame that he doesn't like Venom, cause I think if he really read up on him he would, and could have had some real fun with him. 

Also, where is the 2nd failed reboot you speak of?  Sony only rebooted their Spider-Man once before the Tom Holland/MCU version.
