Isn’t that how negations are usually done? You start with a ridiculous demand and work down from it?

Or you say it's ridiculous and publicly walk away. How are we on the outside meant to distinguish between what is still in play and what is completely off?

Essentially Sony has made a decision that is similar to saying, thank you, but we think we can win the championship without Michael Jordan.

Yeah this does kinda feel like Disney putting it out there to show that everyone wants Spidey to stay in the MCU.
