Spiderman pretty much always dominates comic book sales. Superman and Batman always in the top three.

Is there any one super hero more popular than Spider-Man at this point?

Spider man is dope but the mcu didn’t need him

Yes, domestically it’s the 4th biggest movie of 2021
And if people wanna dismiss that and do thing thing where they ignore global numbers since the same folks used to pick and choose when they acknowledge those
4th place domestically is bigger than Bond, Fast 9, A Quiet Place 2, Free Guy, Ghostbusters just to name some non MCU movies that dropped this year
Oh and it crushed Dune, Godzilla & Kong, Halloween Kills, Space Jam and Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman 2 and Snake Eyes

Numbers don't lie but people often do..
2021 Worldwide Box Office - Box Office Mojo
And of course there's factors to consider here.. BW was on Disney+ for an extra $30.
Just as some of these were free on other streamers for a same day release.
Shang Chi and Eternals were theaters exclusives.
But about that BW extra $30 charge.... hmm
Disney’s ‘Black Widow’ Gamble Didn’t Pay Off
What initially seemed like the vindication of a dual-release strategy, then, turned out to be a neat example of the strategy’s financial foolishness. After all, if everyone can access a new blockbuster at once, it’s unlikely to hold people’s attention for longer than a week. But as cinema owners have pointed out, moviegoers are still willing to see new titles in theaters and pay to watch them at home later; the only reason they aren’t doing that is because studios are choosing instant gratification over sustainability.

Years of praying on marvels downfall really got nikkas out here refusing to acknowledge literally anything positive associated with the MCUIf it were solely a numbers game and Sony was happy with "what they accomplished" then there's no reason to ask Marvel for help.
Again, Amy Pascal reached out to Kevin Feige and damn near begged him. He shot down her ideas and told her "let my team handle the character."
After getting emotional, she did. Which is why Spider-Man is in the MCU.
Yes the Sony characters are in "No Way Home" but people were excited to see them in the MCU.
I have no idea why but it seems practically impossible for you to give Marvel credit for anything.
"No Way Home" is an MCU movie, written by MCU regulars, directed by an MCU regular, overseen by Feige, featuring Dr. Strange and the multiverse....which was set up by previous MCU movies....
And your major takeaway is "but people are interested in the Sony characters."
Also keep in mind the Sony email hack thread exposed how clueless they were about the future of the character.
Had Sony been allowed free rein, Spider-Man would've been "Batman Forever" status. The MCU basically saved the character.

Wow. The MCU need to work they magic for the next GenI talked to my lil cousin the other day. Lil nikka didn't know who X-Men was. Dude is 9 years old.
1. They weren't happy with those numbers from the Garfield movies because Batman was doing over a billion. Homecoming didn't fix that.
2. Yes... anyone with a clue can see that the Sony characters are the main driving force behind the interest here. That's why there's such a huge jump in B.O. from the previous two... you are smart... you should be able to see that.
3. it's still a Sony project. The studio is Sony despite who directed it they have say...
4. They didn't cave to the MCU's demand for B.O. returns... instead Sony said fine.. we'll have Spider-Man then. Marvel came to the table to get the deal done and renew the contract.
5. They've proven they can do exceedingly well with the character. Your statement is hyperbole. Spiderverse is probably the most well received project for the character and that's ALL Sony with no MCU involvement. it won awards/they green lit a second one right away.
6. Even the side characters do well. Venom went near $900M at the B.O. with no MCU involvement. Did all those people say "nope... not MCU... not going"
True.
And the biggest stimulus of the Spider Man MCU films....were other Spider Men from previous series from Sony
. They never needed Iron Man memorials, Thor on the skies, or Captain America's cameos, all that this series needed was other Spider Men working together. And Sony reaps the majority profit from that. While going full-throttle on the Spiderverse sequel in 2022.

You see it.
Superman is the most famous but may not be top 5 or 10 in popularity/fandom at this point. Hes a bland character with mostly bland writing. His fame isnt going anywhere but people are very much meh about him
Its batman vs spiderman in terms of outright popularity
To me, popularity is more than just name recognition.

Movie wise it's Batman and it's not even close, He had a movie in 1960s, the 1980s, the 1990s, the 2000s, 2010's, and now the 2020's
it's not even up for debate

When the fukk are we getting the X-men.. I mean all the mutants
This really don't have much to do with the thread, as they are nowhere in the realm. But with legit movies and the MCU they can have even before doing team ups... They are going to be HUGE again and so will he.
