That big ass wall of text just to say "mean jokes hurt u guys"
It's more warning someone that overreaching powers granted to the state by the population having knee-jerk reactions can and will backfire and hit those originally in support of them.
The irony of preaching about that is completely lost on the writer.

Ditkos are suing Marvel
Probably won't go anywhere (like the Siegel or Kirby lawsuits) but, if it does, bye-bye Spider-Man. No more comics. No more movies. No more video games and no more cartoons

Yeah, these types of lawsuits are almost never successful because it all hinges around 'Work-For-Hire' contracts. But, it's still very interesting because Steve Ditko never said shit while he was alive but now his heirs are suing the shit out of Marvel.
In the very least we'll probably get some juicy behind the scenes details of who exactly created what. Stan Lee already conceded that Doctor Strange was Ditko's idea

Even if it doesn't happen nerds deserve every bit of mental agony wondering if it will. Savor these days, lads.

Can't fault the Ditkos for at least picking a deserving target.

Nothing intersting will happen and this will be forgotten.

With Every one whos ever worked with (((Stan Lee))) Having turned around and sued him you might start to think that the guy who helped invent and popularize capeshit-Just might-be a hack fraud. (not that I feel sorry for all the suckers who worked with him)

The same lawsuit is also affecting Doctor Strange, but apparently no one gives a shit about that guy.
Here's an article about this
The most important bit wrote:One of the catches with copyright termination notices is that, if granted, they only count toward the U.S. rights for the work and also do not include any of the derivative works made from it originally. The notices filed by Patrick J. Ditko, nephew of the prolific artist, are specifcially seeking to terminate the copyright on the Spider-Man story from Amazing Fantasy #15 and the Doctor Strange story from Strange Tales #110. Both of these are the official origin stories for both characters but also introduced other major Marvel characters into the canon like The Ancient One, Wong, Aunt May, and Uncle Ben.
They
may have to replace Peter Parker with Miles Morales for good and call him the Arachnid instead. I highly doubt this will forever prevent Marvel from ever having a spider-themed, web-slinging capeshitter around.
Or
maybe they'll replace him with Japanese Spider-Man. He's the best and most different derivative work.

I want Marvel to fully lose the rights to Spider-Man and cancel everything with the character, just to see every annoying MCU stan and consoomer seethe (especially after they cheered on Disney when they purchased 20th Fox Century), but the most likely outcome is that Marvel will just have to write a paycheck to the Ditko Estate every time they use the character.

The Ditkos won't even get some of Disney's pocket change, they'll just get banished to the Shadow Realm for being goyim.

Nah man I think (((Stanley Leiber))) and (((Robert Kahn))) are on the up-and-up and are good and trustworthy guys.
