Spider-Man still half belongs to Sony. They could put the appeasing of Social Justice Warriors on Sony's shoulders and thus blame them for yet another awful Spider-Man movie. Another bad one could see Sony give up and surrender the rights fully to Marvel.

A movie can be garbage but still make money (just look at Suicide Squad) and Spider-Man can certainly be useful in any other phase three movie.
Read any fan site and notice from the comments that this movie that was sooooo desired and looked forward to is quickly becoming a joke. They brought it on themselves and Feige has too much vision not to know it was coming. -

Spider-Man is the crown jewel of the Marvel Universe and he isn't "the kids table" in the MCU either. They aren't going to relegate the biggest character in their history to the side. Spider-Man saved Marvel at certain points when many of their other comics weren't selling so well. He is going to be the main character in the MCU during the 2020's whether you like it or not.

Literally making him a kid and making the point of the new films that he's so much younger and less experienced than the other heroes suggests Marvel (at least the people running the film division) now aren't too fond of him and indeed think of him as supplementary. -

What terrible arguments. Peter has always been depicted as super young because he was meant to appeal to young male comic readers. The whole point of the "One More Day" arc was to remove his marriage to Mary Jane to he can relate to young male single readers again.

As super-young, at the high school level, for only the first three years.
The whole point of the "One More Day" arc was to remove his marriage to Mary Jane to he can relate to young male single readers again.
That was the intention and it alienated a lot of the fans who had liked at least a good amount of the 20 years of stories before it; I could be wrong but I don't think the sales went up that much if at all after that story and revision. And 5 years later Marvel decided to kill off the character and have a version with the Dr. Octopus personality although then he was revived. -

This won't sink the MCU by any means but it will forever relegate Spider-Man to a kid's level character. You'll see far less adults wearing his t-shirt and buying his merchandise. All you'll see are kid's backpacks and toddler items. Spider-Man is now doomed to the boy equivalent of Disney Princesses.

Spider-Man Homecoming is shaping up to be a real downer dud geared for high school age kids or younger. That's the exact buzz I've been getting reading the fan pages on Facebook.
The casting has been horrendously bad.
