Perlmutter was responsible for the good parts of the MCU. He wanted to focus on good storytelling. From here on out you can expect unabashedly preachy woke propaganda from Feige’s MCU.
I don't think Ike Perlmutter is somehow the champion of good art against the forces of lazy pandering that you think he is. I think Ike Perlmutter _is_ the force of lazy pandering that constantly frustrated Marvel Studios' writers until he was finally kicked out back in 2015.
Try providing a reference that doesn't say "reportedly" and pass the buck. Ditto the bit about him calling the three execs "the help".
> I dunno who you get your info from
From reading enough of the crappy sites that repeat the claim you posted and yet never point to anyone (even anonymous) willing to personally report it. The thing with false claims is that there is no disproof because there was no story until it was made up.
> Ike Perlmutter was acqui-hired from a toy company,
You make it sound like toy companies employ losers nobody else would want, and that he was just an employee there, and that Disney only kept him because he came with the building.
> chronically only cared about what would sell toys
He's thinking about what would make the most money in total, movies + toys.
> champion of good art against the forces of lazy pandering
Well, 'good art' is what fans want to buy and lazy pandering is just that.
Hey, can you explain exactly what you mean by preachy woke propaganda with some specific examples?
A lot of the "anti woke" brigade might want to try reading the source material, it was woke before that word was co-opted as a pejorative.
