"... Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters". They already released a movie that gets the point across fine. Spider-Verse.

I thought it was previously called the “Sony Universe of Marvel Characters”? That name was already a mouthful, but this is just ridiculous.

Yeah that's too much. Sony Marvel Universe would have been enough.

They could eliminate a word or two.

Considering it's Sony and their previous approach to making Spidey films this sounds sadly fitting, now they can spunk all their money on spumc movie, why the fuck not?
They do get giving these things a name should help with the branding, this isn't it, it's literally a description of what they are, but excludes certain of the films that fit said description.

Technically, Spider-Verse is a term reserved for the convergence of multiple Spider-Men from across dimensions. I disliked Sony's appropriation of the term for their separate corner of the Marvel Universe. Their new name is more accurate and appropriate if not advantageous from a marketing standpoint.

I don’t think Sony ever called their franchise “the Spider-Verse.” That was just what they called their animated film, which made sense, seeing as how that movie dealt with alternate universes.

No, they never formally used the term, but there was no objection from their camp either when the fans (and the media) appropriated the term as a descriptor for Sony's corner of the Marvel Universe. As an example, Polygon uses Spider-Verse as a blanket term - within the headline of this article - to informally refer to Sony's existing and planned Spider-Man-themed films.

I’d assume that’s just because “Spider-Verse” is a much simpler term than “Sony Universe of Marvel Characters” or “Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters.”

I'm just relieved that they've distanced themselves from the phrase Spider-Verse as a blanket term to describe their Marvel films. Used formally or informally, it isn't very accurate.
