Podcast appearances and mentions of ike perlmutter

By Walt HickeyWelcome to the Numlock Sunday edition.This week, I spoke to Joanna Robinson and Dave Gonzales, coauthors of the book MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios, out in paperback this week.I really loved the book, it dives into what is the main flywheel of mainstream entertainment, for better or for worse, and dives into the fascinating history of the MCU. Whether you're a fan of Marvel movies or just someone living in a world dominated by them, the book is a really interesting look into contemporary filmmaking and the pressures and economics and just simply human scale of these massive operations.We spoke about Marvel's journey from underdog to cultural icon, how its moviemaking process has changed over time, and what it was like covering a narrative that was developing in real time.Robinson and Gonzales can both be found on the podcast Trial by Content, and the book can be found wherever books are sold.This interview has been condensed and edited. Dave and Joanna, thank you so much for coming on.GONZALES: Absolutely.ROBINSON: Thanks for having us.I really, really love this book. So happy to see it out in paperback. I guess I'll just kick it off with an easy one: What were each of your first experiences with Marvel? How'd you get into this?ROBINSON: As in the comic books or the films?Anything.ROBINSON: Anything at all. Gosh, I think X-Men: The Animated Series was my introduction, back in my infancy. It really got into the world they created, the various characters, their character sets, the trading cards, and then everything spirals out from there. That was my introduction.GONZALES: Mine was probably with the comics. I might have had some X-Men: The Animated Series in there, but I got much more into the comics around late 1993, early '94, when I happened to buy a Spider-Man issue that was part of “The Trial of Peter Parker.” Suddenly I had questions: Why was Peter Parker on trial? How many different Spider-Man books were there? Because I bought an issue of The Spectacular Spider-Man, but the next part of “The Trial of Peter Parker” was The Amazing Spider-Man.That led me to get a cubby at my local comic book shop in Louisville, Colorado, which was Time Warp Comics at the time. That was my way in, just being a comic book fan. I also jumped in on one of the longest and mostly considered worst Spider-Man arcs, but loved it. So imagine how good “good” Spider-Man was to me as a child, because I got weaned in on “bad” Spider-Man.Amazing. One reason I really dug the book is that it's about the MCU, but it's also about Marvel, the history of this entire company, and its very different evolution over time, from the '60s to the period of the '90s. What was it like trying to cover not just a film series, but a big franchise with a lot of moving parts as part of an even bigger company with even more moving parts?ROBINSON: A good question we asked ourselves was both where to start and where to end, and where to end was a constant, ongoing question mark. I'll let Dave address that. But in terms of where to start, there were certain things we felt we had to backdate, because there were players involved in the major “How did Marvel Studios come to be?” question and you had to know who they were, why they were important, how did we get here and what were the stakes? Being able to loosely explain who's Stan Lee, who's Perlmutter, who's Avi Arad, who are all these people, helped us tell that story without losing the audience entirely by throwing a bunch of new names at them. Dave, what about ending the book?GONZALES: Oh, ending the book. That was super fun. We started right as Avengers: Endgame was in theaters. I remember seeing Endgame and knowing that Joanna and I were going to work on this, so we started off thinking, what a fantastic hill that Marvel climbed, this interconnected universe with three phases. Everything surely was planned out from the beginning and could only go up from here. The book was originally “The Rise of Marvel Studios,” because we thought surely this was just up and up and up.Then the pandemic hit — which was very good for us, having to write the book and just sit down and figure out what it was. It also gave us and a lot of sources a pause to regain our footing. As Marvel started rolling out, we tried to peg an end date. I wanted it to be Blade to Blade when we started, but Mahershala Ali's project has still not come out, so that became an impossibility. Then WandaVision premiered and suddenly there was this whole other aspect to the story we were trying to tell. So we wanted to do that and just tried to report things as they went along.We were blessed and cursed by the year that we published the hardcover, October 2023. As we were turning in the final part of the book in January and February, a whole bunch of Marvel news started breaking. Ike Perlmutter left Disney; Victoria Alonso, who was a big mover and shaker in Marvel Studios, was let go, so we had to report that out; Jonathan Majors went on trial.It was only in a panic over all those things that I really ended up appreciating what we had done just by thinking of all these topics so thoroughly for several years. Even though we were tacking new endings on, it wasn't that hard to make it feel like it was a whole arc because we were kind of working there anyway. I wouldn't say I'd've enjoyed releasing the first version of this book in one of Marvel's worst financial years and most critical years ever, but I do think it provided an interesting little tie-off or a fascinating ellipses that allowed us to be relevant and, more importantly, in the year 2024, look like we knew exactly what we were talking about in Marvel's rebounds.That's a really good point. When I met you on tour, a key thing you were getting at was that the idea that Marvel has not had a slump before is naive, and also ahistorical. A fun thing about the book is that you go through all these different eras, and sure, there's an easier story and probably a more polished, corporate story that's ever upward, toward Excelsior, all that crap.But you really do cover the pits and troughs of this. There was Iron Man 2; there was Thor: The Dark World; there was that period of time between the assorted Spider-Mans. What was that perspective like, particularly as it was coming out and as you were able to talk about the issues in 2023?ROBINSON: It was important for us, just on a basic journalistic level, to try to tell as much of the story as possible. We're fans of Marvel, of the movies, but as long as I've known Dave, both of us have been people who don't like to feel like we're not being told the whole story. We don't want the PR version of something — we want to know all the messy details as well. And it's not to knock Marvel or have any kind of “gotcha” moment. It's to say, “Okay, they had these various pitfalls, these various problematic people that they were working with, X, Y and Z. Look what they accomplished anyway.” That's the story in broad strokes. It was important for us to be able to acknowledge the stumbles along the way.When we found ourselves in a 2023 space where everyone was saying Marvel is cooked, or Marvel used to know exactly what it was doing from the beginning and now they're just making it up — no, they were always making it up. They just did it so well, you didn't notice. That gave us a better perspective to be able to say, let's just slow down. We were looking ahead to 2024, saying they're only putting out one movie and two shows next year. If those hit, then you'll start to hear that Marvel's back, baby. Then Deadpool & Wolverine makes a gajillion dollars and Agatha All Along is a pretty solid hit for them.So I think that “Marvel is over” narrative that was so prevalent a year ago is now the question, “Is Marvel back?” Looking even further forward at the next couple of big projects coming, I think Captain America: Brave New World is going to be a tough one for them. I don't know if that's going to hit the way a lot of people want it to. I think Thunderbolts is going to be hit for them, and I think The Fantastic Four: First Steps is going to be hit for them. They're still getting their bearings, but to your point, it was a bit naive to say they've been nothing but successful and now they've run off a cliff. Dave, what do you think?GONZALES: It was just a less interesting narrative, ultimately. I actually found myself getting less adversarial the more we learned, especially being a fan when all this started around 2008. There was this idea that Joanna was talking about, which is even a fan perspective today, that if something doesn't work out it's because we've been denied something at some creative step. Like, you know what, screw those guys; we want to do Harrison Ford as Red Hulk instead, or something like that.But it's not that at all. There are a whole bunch of different drama and production and business problems, and all these things come together to make these gigantic machines of a movie work. It was really important for us to drill down on Marvel Studios and get into those ups and downs, because a lot of times you can try to compare Marvel Studios to something through contrast, through Warner Brothers trying to do it with DC back in the early 2010s. Everybody started trying to launch an interconnected universe from the first movie, but all you could really say is that Marvel's worked and these others didn't. The details of the alchemy are in the tiny stories and little conflicts. That's why I think they were so important to track, be they how movie stars look or how we use CGI to make movie stars look. Tracking that over at Marvel Studios was just as important as how many movies Tony Stark was going to be in.Can you speak more to how much of this was on the fly? One of my big takeaways from your book was just how much things aren't necessarily set in stone during the production of a movie, and how sometimes one person's smart idea, regardless of where it comes from, can drastically alter what a lot of folks think was written in stone in 2007.ROBINSON: That idea of “best idea wins” — without ego; best idea from whomsoever — was a prevailing concept at Marvel. Kevin Feige was also this really interesting figure that has no comparison at any other studio. He's head of the studio, a creative producer, a storyteller in his own right and someone who wanted to make movies as a kid and thought he would be a director. He wound up an executive, but he has that storytelling sense. When Marvel was putting out fewer films and TV shows — or no TV shows at all and just a few films a year — the process was, “Go shoot your movie. Bring me, Kevin Feige, back the pieces and I'll tell you what you're missing.” They had this built-in reshoot window where you could go and add scenes where he felt like you hadn't really nailed this character, or cut this action out to bump up the action over here a bit more. They had this rough-drafting process with the master editor being Kevin Feige himself. There's no system like that at any other studio.That works so well for them, and in doing so, they're able to cement over the cracks and make it all feel like one smooth story that they're telling, because that refining process is built into their filmmaking process. Once the mandate comes from Disney, from Iger on his way out the door, from Chapek in his seat for a while, that they need to compete with Netflix and all these other streaming services, that they need more and more content — then the pace becomes untenable for that revision process that made them so solid in the first place.You talk about Feige not having an analog. I was really shocked reading the book because there's not even anything recent. You have to go back to Cecil B. DeMille for someone who has that producer, authorial presence. He's really a fascinating figure, and it's a key takeaway from the book that I loved. It really highlights the people who make these movies, not just the corporation. It's actual human beings who do this kind of stuff, often with long continuities. Do you want to speak about some of that?GONZALES: Definitely. Actually, while you were talking, I was wondering if part of the chip on Zack Snyder's shoulder was because someone at some point told him he was going to be a Kevin Feige and he's been chasing that ever since.A lot of the Marvel continuity that's been going on is still going on, even after our new chapter. It's been interesting to see how it's developed. It could be that the best idea wins, but then they also have that old school, in-house process where the starting team is very often the same people and has been since phase one. You put together a bullpen of concept artists, so you're constantly using concept art. Not only is that smart from a design standpoint for making a movie, but then you can have those things scanned and it goes directly into making toys. So at the beginning, there's no fight about bringing on these design creatives super early on.Where we start to see the wear and tear is, as Joanna was saying, with this output increase. All of the pressure starts being put on post-production, which is the place where you can't make more time. The solution is to hire more people, and because of that, the job of keeping things consistent falls to Victoria Alonso.She does a pretty good job considering that she's working a 24-hour, seven-days-a-week work schedule because the industry is so messed up. It was never built to do stuff like this. In a lot of ways, the way the VFX industry is structured is still from the '90s turn of the century, when you would bid on a number of shots to do and get money for that number of shots. You'd have to work those shots until they get approved by the director. There isn't an extra budget, and there isn't an overtime, which was a fine way to do it when there were three or four VFX shots in every movie. But now that we're in the 200s or some such, there's a natural strain put on that, and it's impossible to budget on the VFX side. They have to underbid because there's a limited amount of work. If Marvel decides they don't like you, as much as a third of your entire year's work can just not come to your company.As Marvel ages into it, we get a lot of people who are able to make their careers there, from Kevin Feige to Mary Livanos, who's doing great things on Agatha and seems really close to being ascendant. We have Brad Winderbaum, who's been made head of streaming now to take some of that pressure off Kevin. You have all these great continuities. You're less likely to see continuities in visual effects artists, just because of how they're going recently. When Joanna and I were interviewing people like ILM for Hulk, occasionally we'd do a person that was in three or four movies. Now, like for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, there was a team of about 12 people at Framestore who make animals look good. They just come in for that movie to make animals look incredibly good. They did it the whole time, but they're not as legacy as other parts of the Marvel development studios — which I hope will change, because there are some people who are really good at making Hulks. And if you've made Hulks for 20 years, shouldn't those be the people that are making Hulks in Brave New World? We'll have to see.ROBINSON: I love that you mentioned Cecil B. DeMille. As we were putting this whole story together and realizing that they bring all these teams in-house, Dave and our coauthor Gavin and I, we are to varying degrees students of old Hollywood history, and we had this realization that it's just the old Hollywood studio system. You're putting actors under contract for nine movies, all this other stuff, and we felt so smart. Then I was talking to someone who worked at Marvel and they were like, “Oh yeah, Kevin says that all the time.” I was like, oh, I thought we really put something together. But at least we were right! We were consciously doing this.I think that industrial element of it is really interesting. A key thing that changed the way I see the film industry was realizing that every movie is basically a corporation that briefly exists. Every movie is an entire apparatus, with a CEO operation and departments and all that. Then it folds and you move on to the next one.With Marvel, though, the circus never closes; it's just onto the next city. It was really interesting to see its place in the industry. Like Dave was saying, the limiting reactant for some of this is just the number of animators on the earth who are capable of making this kind of stuff. It's so cool to get a look inside this apparatus through the book.ROBINSON: Thank you.GONZALES: What an apparatus. It's really interesting to me, even now, as we are pending the return of the Russo brothers, who are just able to find this and also find the emotion in it.In Endgame, the Tony Stark “I am Iron Man” moment was the last insert. They had to go to dinner with Robert Downey Jr. and Joel Silver and have Silver be like, “You'd be dumb not to do it, Robert,” because Downey didn't want to go back there. He's a weird dude, but for him, it felt like in order to get to what he needed to do, he had to take off a scab that had formed and get back into the character. Whereas the Russo brothers are like, we built a workout system and we have our smoothies and every day is trying to make the machine work. Somehow, through the alchemy of those two things, the machine works, and occasionally we get these story moments that feel like they were created individually for that movie.That, I think, is the mystery that the book is trying to unravel. At the beginning, it's untapped storytelling potential. Everyone's like, if you don't have the X-Men, if you don't have Spider-Man, what do you have? There's so much in just proving that you have good stories. Now that you're the biggest game in town, that idea of, “Are you going to make me feel anything?” is so much different than what the initial promise was, that they're going to bring Thanos to the screen and you're going to understand who he is and what he wants. That was the big lift. Now there's a whole simultaneous saving of the industry, and bestowing status on different actors. There's just so much more mixed up in it now. It's amazing we got where we did.The book is also a really interesting look at the transition from being a super underdog. As you describe in the earliest chapters of the book, Marvel was bankrupt, and all the executives were folks who fell out of the toy industry or Revlon. The folks who were in charge came to it in the manner of somebody accidentally having to join a carnival, and then eventually it becomes the hegemonic juggernaut of everything, in many ways the thing that people stand against. In the book, watching the perception around it change and then internally having to adapt to that change in perception was a really cool tension.ROBINSON: My favorite indicator of that underdog status versus top-of-the-world status versus wherever we are now is the making of the first Iron Man movie. Marvel Entertainment in New York — who was, to your point, chiefly concerned with merchandising and toys — had the attitude, “Okay, go make your cute little movie. If it doesn't cost us any money, you can go do your little cinematic experiment in Hollywood and we don't really care that much. Just make sure you don't spend any of our money. Other than that, go have fun.”And they make Iron Man, and Iron Man is a massive, smash hit, and all of a sudden the people in New York are like, we're forming something called the Creative Committee. We would like a lot of intake. We want to be part of this. This is the big shiny thing, and everyone wants to weigh in on it. So it's really interesting to track this going from a weird little project they were doing out in Los Angeles to The Thing for Marvel. You can track it by who needs to have an opinion about what and when they start to care.GONZALES: One of my favorite moments — it's after the book chapter “Marvel vs. the Creative Committee” — is when Kevin Feige gets on stage himself to unveil the entirety of phase three, which includes Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War and everything. That is such a telling moment for me. He had just won his battles with these behind the scenes. He's fully in full control. Black Panther is coming. Joss Whedon is in the edits for Avengers: Age of Ultron, in the audience, but they already know he's not coming back.There was a version of a chapter in the book that was just me going through that and being like, here's why each one of these announcements is like Kevin Feige spiking a football in the face of someone that told him he couldn't do it. That's still the purest creative energy I've seen. “We could finally do it!” burst out of Marvel. I think they've been more reserved since, even with some big announcements, but I like to go back and look at that just to see the pivot point when Marvel was the underdog. It was like, we want Black Panther, we want Captain Marvel, but the studio won't let us do it. Then Kevin Feige gets up and goes, “Here are the next 10 years of your life.” It's just such a joyous moment.ROBINSON: We love that moment. We talked to people behind the scenes who were working at Marvel at the time about it, and there's a reason that whole presentation wasn't at a Comic-Con. It wasn't at D23. It was its own thing at the El Capitan Theater in Los Angeles, and internally, they jokingly called it Kevin-Con. It was this whole thing, and part of it was that they weren't ready to announce certain things at Comic-Con.But part of it was this moment for Feige who fought various personalities across the various companies to get control of the narrative. And I agree, Endgame is of course in all of history going to be looked at as the pinnacle of achievement at Marvel. But I actually think it might be Kevin-Con at the El Capitan Theater, when Chadwick Boseman comes out and Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans are there to anoint him as the future of the franchise. That, of course, comes with its own terrible poignancy. We were really lucky to talk to Chadwick Boseman for the book before he passed away. These were things that happened while we were writing the book. History was constantly happening as we were trying to frame this entire narrative.If there's a protagonist in the book, it feels like it's Kevin, even in the earliest days when he was advising on the Fox products. Having read the book and then seen Deadpool & Wolverine — which, as you mentioned, went on to become a phenomenal financial success — it was really cool to come away with a little more admiration for the role that Kevin had in some of the Fox properties. Seeing that manifest in the MCU was just really nice.ROBINSON: I love that he got to have his Wolverine story, given that it all starts with him in a trailer with Hugh Jackman saying it needs to be bigger, it needs to be bigger, it needs to be bigger. I love that.GONZALES: I don't even know if it's still called that, but Joanna used to call that the “Feige fix-it.” Instead of developing these things by always going forward and introducing younger Avengers, he's actually much more interested in reaching back. There were good things there. Or, I guess the generous way to think about it is rewarding the fans that were around before it was the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Like, “You didn't waste your time with X-Men: The Last Stand. I know it might have felt like that occasionally, but here's this. Or Andrew Garfield. Yeah, maybe we treated him badly, but don't worry. You didn't waste your time with that because boom, here it is paying off in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”Initially there was some hesitancy about Marvel homework. Do I need to have seen these things to do these things? But ultimately, if we're just talking dollars and cents, the nostalgia play has made them a billion dollars so many times that it doesn't surprise me that Deadpool & Wolverine is a huge hit just by being a swan song for the Fox movies.ROBINSON: I was personally incredibly gratified to finally get Channing Tatum as Gambit. That was a very important moment for me.My favorite version of the Feige fix-it was putting the storyline from Thor: The Dark World into Endgame and making Thor: The Dark World, the most universally mocked and reviled MCU film, an integral part of their biggest triumph. All of a sudden that's wrapped into the larger tapestry in a way so you can't just toss it in the garbage and say, oh, don't bother watching Thor: The Dark World — now you have to watch it to understand everything you're seeing in Endgame, which is certainly not a movie you're ever going to skip.It's a magic trick that really works and almost shouldn't work as well as it does. But even how they were able to get the Infinity Stones, almost taking elements of the first couple films that were dropped or introduced somewhat randomly and then doing that. It's a trick that they keep on pulling.GONZALES: Kevin Feige will say this, but we're coming up on 80 years of comic book history, and if there's one thing that comic books do more than any other medium, it's just use the same story. How could you have another angle on this story? They have so much A/B testing on what we like about this character, or what we'll buy about a certain character, it's interesting to see Marvel adapt that along with what sort of story you like on the Hollywood side of it.But yeah, we're going to see Captain America: Brave New World and finally see that Celestial that came out of the ocean in Eternals. Every Marvel property contributes something, we're told. Except the Inhumans; that never happens.The book is MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios, and it's a fascinating look at the intersection of the humanity behind these movies and the technology of these movies. And if there's one figure that reminds me of that in particular, obviously, one of the most central people in the Marvel universe is Green Steve. Let's talk a little about him before we wrap this one up.ROBINSON: He's my favorite! Green Steve, a Chippendales dancer that was painted green in order to make sure they understood how the green light on skin would be captured accurately for the Hulk. Green Steve was one of my favorite anecdotes we got, and it was out of the book for a while before we worked it back in. Dave, what do you want to say about Green Steve?GONZALES: I love Green Steve. I love that this bodybuilder from Long Island can technically say he played the Hulk in a sort of way. In theory, because it's a whole CGI character, he might have played the Hulk close to how much Mark Ruffalo played the Hulk in that first movie. I love that story.Pretty early on, we brought in Gavin Edwards, our third author, to help us do a book, since Joanna and I had never done a book before. We were starting to put together the notes and I was like, can we please have a mid-credits scene? Can we just have a chapter in the middle of the notes?ROBINSON: That was Dave.GONZALES: I held onto that for as long as possible. I remember in one of the final meetings after we turned in the draft, we pitched it up to the editor and they were like, “That's really fun,” and I thought, oh thank god. That was a really early idea, and Green Steve fits that perfectly; it's a super interesting story that doesn't really belong anywhere else, but will stick in your mind as, Marvel literally tried everything to make the best Hulk. So I'm very happy that it's the mid-credits chapter — and remains the mid-credits chapter! Even when we added another chapter in, we were like, where does this go? Not before Green Steve.ROBINSON: He's got the final word for sure.Amazing. The book's out of paperback now. Where can folks find it? Where can they find you? And what's next?ROBINSON: “All good and evil news agents.” That's what the Empire Magazine folks say. All good and evil bookstores or any online book purveyor is where you can find our book. Dave does a tremendous podcast called Fighting in the War Room, which I love to listen to, so you should listen to that. And together we do a podcast called Trial by Content that y'all should listen to.GONZALES: Joanna's on a fantastic podcast called the House of R with Mallory Rubin over on The Ringer, where she covers lots of cool pop culture things. If you want to go to a bookstore and don't know exactly which one to go to, you could head to theMCUbook.com. That will forward you to our publisher's website, which has links to your Barnes and Nobles, your Amazons, your Bookshops.org, and will help you track down the book near you.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your one-stop-shop for Info about all your favorite fandoms. Captain America: Brave New World star Anthony Mackie broke the news that Sebastian Stan's character Bucky Barnes will not appear in the fourth Captain America movie. The duo garnered great accolades for their chemistry after the Disney+ show, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which saw Mackie's character Sam Wilson come into his own as the MCU's new Captain America. Mackie's comments also alluded to no return for Daniel Brühl's character of Baron Helmut Zemo. Things are heating up in the wild world of Disney's board of directors. Nelson Peltz, an investor with Trian Partners, is angling to flip two board seats at the entertainment giant. In an interview with the Financial Times, Peltz was quoted saying, “Why do I have to have a Marvel [movie] that's all women? Not that I have anything against women, but why do I have to do that? Why can't I have Marvels that are both? Why do I need an all-Black cast?” These incendiary comments don't come as a surprise upon the knowledge that former Marvel Entertainment boss Ike Perlmutter owns 79% of Trian Partners' $3.5 billion of Disney stock.  The dynasty of House of the Dragon will continue in season two and viewers got a taste last Thursday when competing trailers dropped for the show. The fictional civil war in the story extended to the trailers with a black trailer - focused on Rhaenyra - and a green trailer - focused on Alicent. Pirates of the Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer told comicbook.com a sixth movie in the franchise is confirmed, but called it a reboot.  The first trailer dropped for Fede Alvarez's upcoming installment in the Alien franchise, Alien: Romulus, which currently has a release date of August 16. The film takes place between Alien, which debuted in 1979, and Aliens, which debuted in 1986. A new Marvel video game, “1943: Rise of Hydra,” is set for a 2025 release and dropped the first trailer last week. The title, which hails from Skydance New Media and Marvel Games, will focus on characters Captain America and Black Panther, who at that time was King T'Chanda, also known as Azzuri. The game will be set in World War 2 “The Neverending Story” — the beloved fantasy novel from late German author Michael Ende that was famously adapted into the cult 1984 film — will be revived with a new joint-venture partnership between Michael Ende Productions and See-Saw Films. The adaptation will span multiple live action films. A film based on the popular video game franchise The Sims is in early production with Loki director Kate Herron attached to direct. Margot Robbie's production company Lucky Chap will produce the feature. Last week, we reported a rumor that Scarlett Johansson was being circled to star in the upcoming Jurassic World film. This week, trades have reported that she is officially in talks for the film. The first trailer for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice has dropped. Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara are returning to the franchise, and Jenna Ortega, Willem Dafoe, Justin Theroux and Monica Bellucci are joining for the sequel. The film debuts in theaters on September 5. Jack Black recently told news outlet JOE that he is "ready" for a sequel to 2003's musical comedy School of Rock also noting that for a sequel, he would want The White Lotus creator Mike White, who wrote the first film, to return. Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight confirmed that a film in the franchise is currently scheduled to begin filming this September and Cillian Murphy will return to star, reprising his role from the series. The first trailer has dropped for The Penguin, The Batman spin-off series starring Colin Farrell. The series is expected to debut on Max this fall. Ghostbusters Frozen Empire led the box office this weekend after a $45.2 million opening in North America. The new film catapulted the franchise total to more than $1 billion.

My thoughts on the new teasers for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, The Penguin, Doctor Who, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, the racist friend of Ike Perlmutter that wants to fire Kevin Feige, and the reboot meme that equals an instant block.

Clearly, ex-Marvel boss Ike Perlmutter lives in Disney CEO Bob Iger's head rent-free these days. Disney dropped a new white paper to combat the 130-page Trian group paper, and the word "Perlmutter" is mentioned more times than we can count. They should've gone for the head. And now some Disney board members might get snapped. ➡️ Tip Jar and Fan Support: http://ClownfishSupport.com ➡️ Official Merch Store: http://ShopClownfish.com ➡️ Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com ➡️ Audio Edition: https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 ➡️ Gaming News: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A7VIqE3r5MQkFgL9nifNc About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer's point of view.

Watch Part 4 here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/98002216   Making movies for toys is hard. Let's talk about how difficult it was to make Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, from Iron Man 3 changing scripts to sell more toys to Thor: The Dark World changing scripts to sell more toys or choosing to make Guardians of the Galaxy… to sell toys.   You can watch the full video version of this episode on YouTube!  

Disney doesn't want to change anything. They've rejected Nelson Peltz's board member nominees and instead want to push their own board members. You know, the ones who sat by and let the Walt Disney Company get flushed down the toilet? Then we talk about Bob Iger getting a pay cut. He's down to a measly $31 million. Poor Bob. ➡️ Tip Jar and Fan Support: http://ClownfishSupport.com ➡️ Official Merch Store: http://ShopClownfish.com ➡️ Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Additional Context: The Walt Disney Company's board of directors has formally rejected board member candidates proposed by activist investor Nelson Peltz and his firm Trian Fund Management. Peltz had nominated himself and former Disney chief financial officer Jay Rasulo for seats on Disney's board as independent directors. However, Disney's board did not endorse these nominations and instead recommended that shareholders vote for their own slate of 12 nominees, which includes high-profile individuals such as Lululemon CEO Calvin McDonald, GM CEO Mary Barra, and former Nike CEO Mark Parker​​​​​​. Bob Iger, who returned as CEO of Disney in November 2022, has been focused on transforming ESPN into a content juggernaut and prioritizing streaming investments. His compensation for most of Disney's fiscal year, which ended in September, totaled approximately $31.6 million. This included significant stock awards and cash bonuses, with $16.1 million in stock grants, $10 million in stock options, and $2.1 million in performance-based cash incentives. His base pay was $865,000 for the partial year since resuming leadership of the media conglomerate​​​​​​. Disney's board stated that Peltz did not disclose any strategic ideas for the company and seemed oblivious to the ongoing secular changes in the media industry. They also raised concerns about his lack of experience in media and technology sectors, as well as his partnership with Ike Perlmutter, which complicates his relationship with Disney executives. In a letter to investors, Iger reiterated his vision for Disney, emphasizing the goal to make the streaming business profitable and to transform ESPN into a leading digital platform​​.

MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios by Joanna Robinson, Dave Gonzales, Gavin Edwards https://amzn.to/3SwQYwy INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "A superb chronicle of how Marvel Studios conquered Hollywood…. This definitive account of the Hollywood juggernaut thrills." ―Publishers Weekly, starred review The unauthorized, behind-the-scenes story of the stunning rise―and suddenly uncertain reign―of the most transformative cultural phenomenon of our time: the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel Entertainment was a moribund toymaker not even twenty years ago. Today, Marvel Studios is the dominant player both in Hollywood and in global pop culture. How did an upstart studio conquer the world? In MCU, beloved culture writers Joanna Robinson, Dave Gonzales, and Gavin Edwards draw on more than a hundred interviews with actors, producers, directors, and writers to present the definitive chronicle of Marvel Studios and its sole, ongoing production, the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For all its outward success, the studio was forged by near-constant conflict, from the contentious hiring of Robert Downey Jr. for its 2008 debut, Iron Man, all the way up to the disappointment of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and shocking departures of multiple Marvel executives in 2023. Throughout, the authors demonstrate that the original genius of Marvel was its resurrection and modification of Hollywood's old studio system. But will it survive its own spectacular achievements? Dishy and authoritative, MCU is the first book to tell the Marvel Studios story in full―and an essential, effervescent account of American mass culture. Show Notes About The Guest(s): Joanna Robinson and Dave Gonzalez are authors and podcasters who have worked together for over a decade. Joanna has hosted podcasts about film and television for years and wrote for Vanity Fair for eight years. She is currently at The Ringer, where she continues to podcast about film and television. Dave has been writing about film for the internet for 15 years and has a passion for the business of storytelling in the entertainment industry. Summary: Joanna Robinson and Dave Gonzalez join Chris Voss on The Chris Voss Show to discuss their new book, "MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios." The book provides a comprehensive overview of Marvel Studios, from its inception in 2008 with the release of "Iron Man" to its current status as a cultural and financial powerhouse in Hollywood. The authors delve into the business deals, creative decisions, and behind-the-scenes stories that have shaped Marvel Studios into the success it is today. They also explore the impact of Marvel Studios on the film industry and its ability to captivate audiences with its superhero movies. Key Takeaways: Marvel Studios started as a scrappy underdog, leveraging lesser-known characters like Iron Man and the Hulk to build its brand. The success of Marvel Studios can be attributed to its ability to push boundaries and take risks, such as casting Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man. The creative committee at Marvel East Coast, led by Ike Perlmutter, initially had regressive ideas about representation in superhero movies, but Marvel West Coast eventually broke free from their influence. "Guardians of the Galaxy" was a turning point for Marvel Studios, proving that audiences were willing to embrace unconventional characters and stories. The future of Marvel Studios lies in its ability to continue pushing boundaries and telling fresh, engaging stories that resonate with audiences. Quotes: "We got as close as we could to current events as we could, including things that happened over the summer of this year into the book to try to explain how a superhero movie studio could take over Hollywood for well over a decade." - Joanna Robinson "Marvel Studios will finish up movies weeks before they release because that's what worked for them on the first Iron Man." - Dave Gonzalez

Capping a holiday-shortened trading week, Carl Quintanilla and Jim Cramer discussed what Friday's key March employment report could mean for the markets, with weekly jobless claims coming in well above the expected 200,000 level. As for the consumer: Costco posted its first monthly same-store sales decline in almost three years -- and shares of Levi Strauss down sharply despite a quarterly beat. The anchors reacted to Ike Perlmutter's comments to the Wall Street Journal: The former chair of Marvel Entertainment told the paper he wasn't laid off by Disney – he was fired. Also in focus: Movers heading into the holiday weekend, plus what FedEx's CEO said to Jim about the economy more than six months after telling him he sees a recession ahead. Squawk on the Street Disclaimer

On this week's episode of The Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: Marvel released an animated trailer for Jonathan Hickman's next big project at Marvel, G.O.D.S. Did we learn much from the trailer? NOPE! Are we going to read this series? YEP! Look for more details to be released with the Free Comic Book Day book from Marvel in early May.  With the wave of corporate job cuts at Disney last week, one of the people ushered out the door was former Marvel executive Ike Perlmutter. Trust me when we say this, but no tears were being shed for his departure. Well, maybe tears of joy... We are making plans for some upcoming cons this summer. Find out where you can find us in 2023!

Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Sixty-Third Episode, Jonathan Hickman and Valerio Schiti's mystery project is unveiled as G.O.D.S, as Hickman has described as Marvel's Sandman, which will feature the clash of The Natural Order of Things against The Powers That Be that is promised by Marvel as Hickman's most ambitious undertaking to date, dramatically reshaping Marvel's pantheon of cosmic beings and the entities behind the very fabric of reality. With Hickman revealed that when he returned to Marvel that along with House of X, G.O.D.S was his other ambitious work, drawn and colored by Valerio Schiti and Marte Gracia, respectively; Hickman's next Marvel Spanning Epic will launch in the Fall of 2023 with a preview in Free Comic Book Day. When Hickman writes, you read. "The X-Men hoped Krakoa would last forever. Time to find out if they were right." was the tease Marvel first gave for the Post-Destiny of X era for The Mutant Nation-State, Krakoa, which began in 2019's House of X/Powers of X Maxiseries by Jonathan Hickman, Pepe Larraz, R.B Silva, and Marte Gracia. It culminates in The Fall of X, featuring a full-blown war between The X-MEN of The Nation of Krakoa and The Anti-Mutant Coalition of ORCHIS as new titles and complete press releases are made at MegaCon '23. It all begins at The Hellfire Gala '23!  Daredevil: Born Again, the next chapter in Daredevil's MCU Run, is confirmed by Vincent D'Onofrio to maintain the violence that its Netflix predecessor had, and along with that, Season 2 has already been planned out by the team! John Wick Chapter IV dominates the opening weekend box office while Jeremy Renner shares an update on his recovery in the aftermath of an accident. MultiVersus, which I must remind all had microtransactions, is closing down of its Early Access phase and re-release in 2024, with no plans regarding refunding everyone who paid for microtransactions and Battle Passes. After multiple dropouts, E3 2023 is canceled. While all that is happening, Liv Tyler, who first and last appeared in the MCU's Incredible Hulk, is returning for Captain America 4: New World Order, as Disney announces the plan to lay off 7,000 employees as part of a cost-cutting measure which includes Ike Perlmutter, The Chairman of Marvel Entertainment, and John Turitzin and Rob Steffens. Xbox's acquisition of Activision-Blizzard, which has had some uphill battles, namely Sony, gets approval from Japan's Competition Regulator of The Japan Fair Trade Commission as Sony now faces eleven members of The United States Congress regarding 'Anti-Competitive Tactics' the company has been accused of regarding the big sale. We learn House of The Dragon Season 2 will consist of Eight Episodes instead of Ten, as part of the 'Big Picture' approach for the rest of the show, with Season 3 looking all but confirmed greenlit. Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 3 is set for a length of 2.5 hours, and Rocket, confirmed by Director James Gunn, to be the 'Secret Protagonist' of the film, which kinda spoils the idea, all things considered.

Time to play some catch-up and discuss all things comics and geek related! Chris, Shane and Ian start us off with news on Ike Perlmutter's removal from Marvel after more than thirty years. They then discuss some recent movies watched, including Chris and Ian's thoughts on John Wick Chapter Four, Ian's journey into Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and Shane getting his first viewing of Everything, Everywhere All at Once. The meat of the episode is a spoiler-filled review of Shazam: Fury of the Gods (37:15-1:08:00), followed by spoilery discussion of Picard (through episode 4) with some occasional very light spoilers for Star Trek: Discovery and its universe (1:08:00-1:32:00). And then, as we begin talking comics read...MURD COMETH!!! Once arrived, he gives his thoughts on the Shazam: Fury of the Gods movie from 1:40:58 until about 1:55:00. Recent reads include Shane's return to Crisis on Infinite Earths, Murd talks Wolverine: Origins from back in the day, Justice League: Detroit's turn at JLA: Classified and Brian K. Vaughn's The Escapsists, Ian digs into Jason Aaron's Avengers: Forever and Dawn of DC's Action Comics and Superman #1, and Chris delves into Danger Street, Gotham City: Year One, Volume 1 of Rainbow Rowell's She-Hulk, and Flashpoint Beyond. Plus Muddle the Murd, and as usual...more! (2:33:43)

This week on Press Any Key Episode #108, we get out our character sheets and our d20's to review the latest  @paramountpictures  release Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. A quick 2-hour romp with a cast of misfits continually failing and going on fetch quests so they can rob their old friend. Sounds like most DnD games I've played, but with fewer murder hobos. We'd love to talk about how Liz is enjoying The Last of Us launch on PC, but she's averaging 16 crashes an hour. Amassing over 9k horribly negative steam reviews, the game was horrifically ported over to the PC and is really pissing the bed on cashing in with the show's popularity. Pat's excited anytime we get to talk about Batman, and there's speculative Batman news! Filmmaker Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep) pitched a feature version of potentially The Batman 2 with Clayface as a main villain. Will they make him the golden age actor-murder, or will he be a big ol' mud man? Ike Perlmutter, Disney + Marvel's racist/misogynistic/homophobic Ebenezer Scrooge, got fired! This man has been at the helm of Marvel and has actively been blocking creatives like Kevin Feige for the better part of 2 decades. Maybe this is what it takes to pull Marvel back up so we avoid any more Ant-Man failures. Speaking of canceled, E3 is officially dead for this year (and possibly the future). Most game companies and developers are opting for their own showcases since they're substantially cheaper and easier to put on. But we think this really kills the magic. Of course, they're going to opt for bottom-line profit, but we're never gonna get weird pictures of celebrities awkwardly playing Gamecube. We've got 10 minutes of gameplay for Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (or Breath of the Wild 2 whatever you wanna call it we don't care). Basically, Link's got a bunch of duct tape and a nail gun so he can stick virtually anything together to make random weapons, cars, flying machines, weapons of mass destruction, you name it. Needless to say, we're still psyched for this. Honor Among Thieves stars Chris Pine as a failure of a bard, Michelle Rodriguez kicking into her barbarian rage, Sophia Lillis playing a fly/rat/deer/owlbear, and Justice Smith getting typecast into his standard kid that gets bullied roll. And, for what it's worth, this is the best version of the movie that it could have been. There are plenty of cool practical effects, actual solid writing and purpose for the plot, and decent acting. It just won't be a movie you think about after you leave the theatre, unfortunately. #dungeonsanddragons #honoramongthieves #batman #clayface #e3 #movies #rpg #dc #tabletop #dnd #pressanykey #podcast #live Discord: https://discord.gg/XxbM3jDX  Instagram: http://instagram.com/pressanykey.tv Twitter: https://twitter.com/pressanykeytv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pressanykey.tv Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0RVAOM96JKNZAWunDbqY0a?si=51b6f25dcd1b4f1d Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/press-any-key/id1531803331  

This week on The World’s Greatest Comic Book Podcast™: Ike Perlmutter is out! Microsoft has made Windows 11 worse. The Last Of Us on Steam gets bad reviews. In Moving Pictures: Secret Invasion lost its release date and page on Disney+. Strange New Worlds has a premiere date and a third season. Joe Quesada signed […]

The past few weeks have been a lot, I won't lie. Nothing need to know, but life does get in the way at times and this was certainly one of those times. As always, and maybe in the spirit of the anime Shoujo Heroine, we will continue moving forward with time and continue to strive to do our best, whatever that may entail on a day-to-day basis.  Podcast notes to follow along with this episode: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep92-mando-catch-up-ch2021-secret-invasion-blue-beetle-trailers-legacy-of-big-two-female-comic-creatives-more  One of the hard points recently was the news of the passing of celebrated geek, musician, actor and voice actor, Lance Reddick. The dust hasn't quite settled enough for the tribute I feel he is required, so I don't have it here on this episode. But he is due the respect of proper obituary on this podcast, so when we are ready, it will happen. In the meantime, if you have any stories of Lance, please feel free to share them wherever you can so I can add that to his tribute.  Starting with Tarot 06:41, I remembered this week to give the note on Divinatory Tarot and the Like that I meant to go over last week, and the full article it came from can be found here: http://hearingshofar.blogspot.com/2010/03/aries-shofar-at-pesach.html Card of the Week for our tarot lessons continuation is #5: the Hierophant. I have the description, symbolism, meanings and interpretation, plus a bit of history and some fun pop culture references! Manga of the week 0:19:23 is, ironically, it turns out, Tokyo Demon Bride Story by TADAICHI NAKAMA! Ironic, because I also learned today that this is the last day of it's publication: the manga ends as of today, April 3rd. While it seems to have a fair amount of haters, I found it quite charming and entertaining. Tokyo Demon Bride story can be found on the Shonen Jump app.  Manga News for the week 22:26 includes the MyAnimeList Ultimate List of Manga Recommendations (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2023-03-31/myanimelist-releases-ultimate-list-of-manga-recommendations/.196585 ) as well as a number of other starts and finales.  Comic Book News 25:50 is a touch heavy this week, starting with the frankly ludicrous twitter debate of Comics vs Manga, and going into the sad truth of our female creators in comics, and how their legacies are sabotaged by the publishers who hired them. The discussion came from the following tweet: https://twitter.com/ComicBookHerald/status/1636013058890903553?s=20 . We also gave some time and thought to the legacy of Carol Danvers, and how the cancellation of her series at issue 50 is NOT a good decision for anyone involved, even so much as to relate to the previous point about female Big Two creators. Plus I have some King/Sampere Wonder Woman thoughts, which I don't think anyone will have an answer for until her landmark 800th issue.  I talk a bit about the kick-off's from 3/22 0:37:49 plus some of what was new this past week, 3/29. As always, this is only a tiny fraction of all comic releases each week, so be sure to contact your local comic purveyor for the full details on what you may be interested in! Comics are, as always, for everyone.  We get into the TV/MOVIES segement 0:41:31 ith what's New and Noteworthy lately, including Yellowjackets season 2, Wellmania, Unstable (wow, bit of trend here, eh?), School Spirits, and more. We're back to having a PROPER News/Announcements segment this week, starting with the RUMORS: 48:13, then MCU: 51:59 including the leaving of Victoria Alonso and Ike Perlmutter, Secret Invasion info and theories, the necessary mentioning of changes that may come to Loki season 2's cast, Liv Tyler's Betty Ross, and the casting of Wonder Man's brother, Grim Reaper. Then DCU: 1:03:16 talking Batman 2's villain, a certain unfortunate project, and of course, the Blue Beetle trailer! Big ups and downs in the pop culture news this week, for sure.  Anime News 1:06:58 has me talking Spring 2023 Lineup English Dubs (no dates! why no dates, Crunchyroll?) as well as new Anime and show announcements, including the Netflix Scott Pilgrim project, Konosuba, Re:Zero, Spy x Family, Girlfriend Girlfriend, and more! Finally, I get caught up with where we're at with the Mandalorian season 3, talking chapters 20 and 21: the Foundling and the Pirate, respectively. From space pterodactyls to HOLY SHIT I forgot to finish talking about episode 21...ummmmm oops. I'll see if I remembe to talk about the Armorer + Bo Katan next week! heh. oops.  And that's it! happy to have you here. Please rate/like my episodes so they get seen by more listeners, and thank you as always for your support. Next week we'll talk card #6, the Lovers, plus a new Manga of the week, more shows and movies and Mando, more anime, and tons of fun, I hope.  The Yancy Street Discord! https://discord.gg/kGnRXwEP  -Yancy Street Specials: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/category/yancy-st-specials -Beginner's Guide to Comics: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/beginners-guide-to-comic-books.html   !!Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/id1550410718   !!Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/45qGcYnP147aZBVIHC09lI?si=cb8b8c1a4f8c4ac7   !!Pandora https://www.pandora.com/podcast/sensational-she-geek-live-from-yancy-street/PC:74557   Find me on Instagram: @annawiththecomics https://www.instagram.com/annawiththecomics/   Podcast Updates on Twitter: @savageshegeek https://twitter.com/savageshegeek   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-KoazT-HEFbqCALjxRLjFQ   Website/Blog: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/   Donation and All Other Links https://linktr.ee/sensationalshegeek

According to the report, Disney decided to fold Marvel Entertainment, a separate entity from Marvel Studios that focuses on consumer products, into larger business units in the company. This comes anonymously from two Disney Executives that agreed to discuss the matter. This comes days after Disney began laying off approximately 7,000 employees to improve Disney's financial gains with a $5.5 billion cut.   REPORT: Jonathan Majors' Marvel Studios Future Is Still Undecided https://www.cbr.com/jonathan-majors-marvel-future-undecided/ Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania star Jonathan Majors' future within the Marvel Cinematic Universe is currently up in the air, with Marvel Studios reportedly weighing its options following the actor's recent criminal charges.   According to industry insider Jeff Sneider of The Hot Mic podcast, Marvel Studios executives are deliberating the next steps to take following Majors' highly-publicized arrest, which led to the actor being arraigned on assault and harassment charges.

Marvel's Loki shows us what fascism looks like, and how it comes to take root within innocuous conservatism. https://literatemachine.com https://Patreon.com/ericrosenfield  Corrections: • Rupert Murdoch and the Koch Bros are not Jewish. Actual examples of Jewish funders of the right include Sheldon Adelson and Ike Perlmutter. I may upload a revised version of this audio with the names changed. • Malthus never directly said that the poor and unskilled should be liquidated, but he did oppose aid to the poor on the theory that they should be allowed to naturally die out if they were of no use to society in order to preserve resources.

Sounds nasty, but exhibit of of this nefarious influence peddling is this ridiculous video of Captain America and Spider-Man joining the VA in ringing the NYSE closing bell: https://youtu.be/NqNCftPe2jo Sure, there's undoubtedly impropriety here - Perlmutter and Donald Trump pretty much live and breathe corruption - but I fail to see any injury caused here, and in this age of a presidency run amok, a pandemic being ignored, and a race-baiting war on civilians - how is this a story on anything other than my silly podcast?

It's pretty shocking actually that so many actors, characters and movies were stopped dead by one person's prejudices.

In today's Federal Newscast, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington obtained hundreds of emails, showing VA IT officials questioned the Mar--A-Lago crowd's influence on V-A's electronic health record modernization efforts.

In today's Federal Newscast, Representative Mark Takano (D-CA) is launching an official investigation into the influence of three members of President Trump's Mar-A-Lago golf club, on recent personnel and policy decisions at the Veterans Affairs Department.

Fans love to blame Marvel Chairman Ike Perlmutter for a lot of MCU fallacies, but who is he really? Chris takes Anthony and Erin through a (nearly) full history of this eccentric corporate mogul. With shady business practices, racist and sexist comments, and a strange relationship with Donald Trump, this is one of the more interesting stories in the MCU.

Sean answers your Marvel questions!00:36 Brian WhiteHi Sean. New Patron here. I am very curious in Avengers: Infinity War what became of half of the Asgardians. Thor pretty clearly states that Thanos and his Children murdered half of the Asgardians but they were all on that ship that Loki and Korg brought to Asgard from Sakaar. I've watched the movie several times and all I see is the ship being destroyed. Thanos did not have the Space Stone yet so do we assume that the Asgardians conceded to being transported somewhere on a ship that Thanos provides for them?02:34 Tom DeMicheleHey Sean and Patrons! First just wanna say I'm loving Discord and it's been fun connecting with you all. Thanks for cultivating this awesome community Sean!As was said on the Mid-week, we're looking forward to a Tony-and-Cap reunion as well as encounters between many other characters. If/when the Snapped characters return, do you foresee a Tony-and-Bucky encounter? How might the next interaction between these two play out? I assume they're both going to make it out of Endgame alive, so I do foresee their dynamic being resolved or at least revisited in some way.05:45 Woo S! KimIt's hilarious to me, how many of my questions have come out of the “Avengers: Infinity War” Roundtable discussion.  Something that everyone of the directors has talked about is the willing of the general audience and the geek audience and it took a bit of time, for the non geek audience, but not much to realize for example Doctor Strange is very different from Spider-Man, which is very different from Guardians of The Galaxy, but they all of them took time place in a larger universe as we True Believers know.  I, myself when I was young child didn't have a comic book shop near me, my point and my question to you Sean, is do you think that one of the keys to success of Marvel Studios for the last decade and going forward is that going to a Regal or a Cinemark watching all these films is the modern equivalent of going to your local comic book shop and getting sucked into what's going on with Ant-Man and The Wasp or Daredevil this week and wondering with great anticipation of what's going to happen with the next issue in three weeks?  Is this apt comparison?09:32 Woo S! KimI recently heard on my buddy's YouTube channel that when Adam McKay met with Kevin Fiege, I don't know if it was McKay, but in my view, this had to be him because I don't think Feige would bring up this I.P. knowing the issues Feige had with this I.P. with Ike Perlmutter, Adam McKay said that in his meeting with Feige; The Inhumans was brought up in conversation, I have a lot of respect for Adam McKay, I thought he was a great writer on “Saturday Night Live,” I am not saying tomorrow or even in twelve months and I know this would not be your first choice for Mr. McKay, but do you think “Inhumans” on Disney Plus and Adam McKay as an executive producer and or Show-runner would be a good back door intro to Marvel's First Family or a good companion series when Fantastic Four makes their Marvel Cinematic Universe film debut why or why not?12:10 AlexDo you think the way to differentiate the  MCU Charles Xavier from the Fox versions is to make the character a little less sagacious and a little more  morally ambiguous? I like the Patrick Stewart version a lot but he kind of made Xavier a lot more likable and preachy than the controlling, strict, and demanding figure from the comics. You may disagree with my assessment of the comics character Sean, but I've read multiple X-Men comics and Xavier has always come across a bit of a jerk.  Which I kind of like since it makes him more flawed than the all-knowing, warm, self-righteous character that tends to give long-winded morality speeches  that both Stewart and McaVoy  have portrayed in the past.     14:21 AlexDo you think 2018 was the best year ever  for Spider-Man? Spider-Man was in  Infinity War which was a hit, Spider-Man had a ultra successful videogame as well as an extremely well-received movie which is now considered another game-changer for animation as well as the rest of the superhero genre.  I think 2002(the year the very first live-action Spider-Man movie was released in theaters) has been surpassed by a pretty large margin as the most important and best  year for the character.16:04 Brandon ColemanFirst off, Happy New Year Sean and all others members! What Marvel comics are you currently reading? I've recently got deep into the current Fantastic Four and Captain America runs by Dan Slott and Ta-Nehisi Coates. I also really like the 1st issue of Miles Morales: Spider-Man. I recently started buying the comic issues and using the digital codes to read them on my phone. I was wondering what you would recommend to add to my current reading? Thank you and I look forward to your answer.17:54 Hector Giovanni NavarreteHi Sean and all my fellow Patrons!Do you think we will ever get a Black Cat in a Spider-Man film? I remember for ASM2 it was rumored that Felicity Jones was apparently supposed to play her but idk. Would you like to see that and if so who would you like to see play her?19:23 Hector Giovanni NavarreteDo you think Thor will feel "emasculated" when Carol shows up to AE or will he be welcoming/glad since he says, "There's nothing wrong with women, of course, I like women. Sometimes a little too much. Not in a creepy way, just more like a respectful appreciation."? Would you like to see any fun banter between these 2?20:58 AlexThe president recently said that he's willing to let the government shutdown go on for months, if not years.  If the shutdown  does indeed go on for that along then  can see you see this preventing the ability for the  Disney/Fox deal to close in anyway?22:03 Alex WardHey Sean! First of all, I'm loving the Discord so far. It's awesome to be able to engage with everyone about the shows and geek out about Marvel! I was just wondering if you thought it worth speculating that Marvel Games is working on a Fantastic Four game; they recently updated their logo to use a "4" for the "G" in "Games", but it doesn't look especially like a Fantastic Four logo.24:31 Alex WardI also wanted to ask about being proud of your fandom. You mention wearing Marvel shirts and hats, showing your marvel room when you have company over, watching Iron Man 3 as a yearly tree decorating tradition, etc., but maybe it's my friends just having no "nerdy" interests, but I always feel ashamed (maybe that's not the right word) about showing my Marvel pride or even getting nerdy stuff for Christmas, and the idea of getting my girlfriend to watch a Marvel movie unless it's in theaters is almost impossible. Not to make this a Dear Abby question, but did you ever have similar struggles embracing your fandom, and if so, how'd you learn to embrace it? Was it making connections through podcasts and social media? It's been a little helpful me to think about the fact that my friends nerd out about sports and music all the time just like I do for Marvel, but for some reason that's more socially acceptable. Again, it could just be my friends, so maybe being in the Discord community will help me embrace all this!33:43 Alex WardOh, and one more thing: are we getting close to, or are we already at, the point where interests in superheroes isn't nerdy anymore, but instead, dare I say it, cool?37:05 Michael bradleyHello Sean. In a previous Q &  A You talked about your favorite seasons of superhero  TV. I was wondering what are some of the ones you consider  bad. Everyone can say Inhumans and Iron Fist season 1, but do you have any others?  The season 4 of Arrow almost made me stop watching the show. And Arrow is my favorite CW show.38:38 Michael Louis WeaselboyHey Sean how is your weekend going?? My question is, how would you do a venom sequel with Tom Hollands Spiderman in the mix. I know you hate Venom but I heard Marvel might have to let Holland appear in the sequel for the Sony/Marvel deal to keep working. Thoughts? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Le combat des super-slips a-t-il vraiment eu lieu? - Partie 2La Phase 3 du "Marvel Cinematic Universe" est donc lancée. Avec ce nouvel opus de "Cap", Marvel Studios signe à la fois un début et une fin. En effet, le studio appartenant à Disney a dissout il y a quelques mois son comité créatif. De plus, le patron de Marvel, Ike Perlmutter, s'est vu retirer tout regard sur la partie créative, laissant ainsi plus de marge de manoeuvre au Big Boss du studio, Kevin Feige. Ce "Civil War" est donc le dernier film de cette ère. Malgré, il est vrai, une certaine similitude dans la formule avec les précédents films, un léger changement s'est opéré et devrait être totalement accompli sur le prochain "Doctor Strange" en novembre prochain. Un casting agrandi, de nouveaux personnages et une intrigue qui, malgré le fait que les conséquences sur le reste de l'univers soient quasi inexistantes, tient plutôt la route; de quoi faire un joli pied de nez à la concurrence un mois après la sortie de "BvS". Aller, encore quelques mois à attendre avant de savoir s'il faut définitivement laisser tomber cette affaire-là. Mais il est vrai que cette série TV sur grand écran (à 10€ l'épisode quand même) commence sérieusement à s'essouffler et continue de nous promettre des choses pour le double épisode final "Infinity War". Wait and see...PS: Ce numéro du podcast pourrait s'avérer un petit perturbant car un effet d'écho est présent durant tout l'épisode. Je vous présente donc mes excuses pour ce désagrément et vous promets de faire à peu près 10 000 vérifications au moment du prochain enregistrement.
