I get it's a contractual thing but uh.. wouldn't Marvel still make money in this case? What exactly is the reason to not allow it? lol

My assumption is that Marvel wanted to prevent Universal from selling (for example) Spider-Man t-shirts online because it would undercut the profit they could make by selling them themselves. So, it's not a matter of "would Marvel make money on this" (maybe?) but more that they'd make more by selling a "similar" shirt themselves.
It still sucks out loud, though.

Interesting. It makes sense, but yeah.. it does suck. Idk how I never noticed there was no Marvel merch online.
Makes sense, and I'm glad they were able to make this cross-IP merch at all given the licensing.
Before Marvel was bought by Disney, Spider-Man and sometimes The Hulk were being featured on cross-IP merch for the parks. Same thing with The Simpsons before Disney bought out Fox.

Interestingly enough, Spidey was featured on cross-IP merch even after Disney bought Marvel.
