If they had co rights to the character, why no name drop or appearance in any of the previous Spider-Man movies? Remember that Sony did mention Dr. Strange in the original movie when they held the rights.

If you think these movies are bland and lifeless then you're the one without a soul.
Oh yeah and for good measure they're also making this movie.

This isn't entirely accurate. After his falling out with Eisner due to the Toy Story 2 contract fiasco, Jobs was ending the Disney distribution deal. The last film in their contract was Cars. Pixar began production Ratatouille, Wall-E, and Up with the knowledge that they would not have any Disney involvement whatsoever. It was only after Eisner was out and Iger mended fences with Jobs that Disney bought Pixar (Iger and Jobs became close friends) and these films were brought to completion.
I won't argue the quality of Cars 2, Monsters University, Cars 3, or that dinosaur movie that I never saw, but I'd argue that they continued making quality films with Toy Story 3, Brave (yes, I love the movie), Inside Out, Finding Dory (a surprisingly decent sequel), and Coco. I'd even argue Coco and Inside Out are both masterpieces and worthy of the prominence in the Pixar hierarchy.

You're acting like they're only making live action CGI/live action remakes and totally ignoring the rest of their wholly original output.

I really do not like this transition. I know he's been planning it for a long time but it was a very strange announcement. Effectively immediately? I hope he isn't sick or something. Also I really don't like his replacement. I think the very best we can hope for is a continuation of the status quo. I'm really worried about the theme park side of things because Chapek is the guy responsible for a lot of price increases and a lot of cost cutting in the parks. The whole theme park fandom is losing their minds over him being the CEO. They were hoping that maybe the new CEO would have ousted him.

Sometimes the devil you know is better than the one you don't. Disney thrived under Iger... Star Wars was hit and miss but I don't think that apple should spoil the perceived bunch.

This first place they hit is always dining. There was a period of time right before the 50th anniversary. Roughly 2000-2004 that Disneyland was in like its darkest days. They closed several dining locations entirely.

Does that include skipping the 22ish Marvel movies, Frozen series, Moana, Wreck It Ralph series, Big Hero 6, Zootopia and Gravity Falls? Because really outside of that, they just have remakes and Star Wars, and maybe Avatar for some people. Nothing of note.

Wholly original would seem to exclude the Marvel movies (many of which were not released under the Disney umbrella), Big Hero 6, and the Frozen and Ralph sequels), so yeah, question stands.

They still made like 17 of the Marvel movies under the Disney umbrella.
But yeah I missed the "wholly original" part, so Frozen was based on Hans Christian Andersen book if you want to eliminate that one too, as has always been true, Disney has made most of their money through adaptations of older stories. Their live action stuff is also generally adapted and often medicore (The BFG, A Wrinkle in Time, Into the Woods, Tomorrowland*, Queen of Katwe, The Finest Hours, McFarland, USA, Million Dollar Arm, Saving Mr. Banks, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, etc; are all adaptations).
So you're basically stuck with Ralph, Moana, Zootopia and Gravity Falls.

Pixar is part of Disney so why would you ignore their output?
How far back do you want to go? Under Iger's watch for the past 15 years for just Walt Disney Animation and ignoring sequels:
Chicken Little
Meet the Robinsons
Bolt
Princess and the Frog
Tangled
Wreck It Ralph
Frozen
Big Hero 6
Moana
Raya and the Last Dragon (11/25/20)
That's 10 over the last 15 years. IMHO that's a sizable output for the studio. Keep in mind animated films still take a really long time to make.
How many sequels have there been? Just 3, Winnie the Pooh, Ralph Breaks the Internet and Frozen 2.

Just for shits and gigles are we considering Snow White, Pinnochio, Alice in Wonderland, Bambi, Peter Pan, Lady & the Tramp, 101 Dalmatians, Jungle Book, Robin Hood, Winnie the Pooh, Little Mermaid, Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King, Pocahontas, Tarzan, et al, original works?
Seems like an odd metric to judge the studio whose entire catalog was mostly created based on other people's work.
Also, no love for Phineas & Ferb?

The point is that all the people that claim that Disney hasn't been doing anything original has to actively ignore a large portion of their movies.

I mean Iger had a successful run no doubt but realistically how long is he going to stay around?
I looked it up and he’s 71 so I wouldn’t imagine he’ll want to stay as CEO and take time away from retirement for too long.
Just long enough to get someone else under his wing that’s a more worthy successor and who will be a better fit maybe?
