Professor Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Who likes sprinkled donuts anyways? They are always the last ones left in the box. Everyone opens the box wanting a donut, see sprinkles, lets out a crushing sigh and then gets something from the vending machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'm more of a blueberry doughnut guy myself. Mmm, a blueberry doughnut and a glass of chocolate milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Donuts are terrible. Now scones are where it's at. Muffins too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 The reign of Permutter the Thrifty is at an end, and chocolate croissants become a very real possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Not to entirely re-rail the thread, but why don't they just fire Permutter, rather than restructure the company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 He's the guy who made Marvel stay afloat after Ron Perelman almost killed it dead in the 90s. He's cheap to a degree that borders on mental illness (he complained bitterly when reporters at a three-hour press conference reached for a second Coke after finishing their first), but in fact that's what saved Marvel. He's high enough on the food chain (answering to Disney personally) that "is a cheap pain in the ass to Kevin Feige" isn't enough to get him shitcanned.

Molly Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 That's fair and all, but being the guy that saved Marvel is great, but he's hurting the company now. He's seventy two, I'm sure he has a great golden parachute. Forcing him out can't be that hard. Put some Disney puppet in there and save all of Marvel, not just the movies.

Dan Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Nobody at Marvel could move him, and until recently no one at Disney felt any need to. His area was making a lot of money for them, and it was his thriftiness that was part of that (he's largely responsible for the Terence Howard-Don Cheadle business when he decided he didn't want to pay Howard the amount in his contract). He caused a real problem earlier this year with that whole "we'll never make a movie with a female lead because Supergirl didn't do to well in 1984" business, and this is Disney quietly pushing him off to the side while giving Feige a public win.

Donomark Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Is he also in any way responsible for Marvel CANCELLING Fantastic Four because of the Fox Movie Rights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 He probably had at least a slight hand in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 If, and I mean if, they're the reason Wright, Branagh and Joss moved on, this is probably a good move too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Let's see how Phase 3 looks now that this shakeup has happened. If we get some more diversity in the voices, great. Marvel sounds like it's been a special kind of hell from those reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, although not to downplay the idiocy of having a septuagenarian miser damage the foundations of the MCU early on, re: Terrance Howard, contract low-balling, nixing female-centric films etc. Although Feige is on record as agreeing with the latter; the prick...

JackFetch Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Ike was also singlehandedly responsible for the lack of Black Widow toys and merch. I saw a commercial yesterday where the Avengers toys are saving a car from a buggy running into it. I noticed Black Widow wasn't there. I really hope Supergirl is a hit and sells tons of merch to show Marvel that female heroes can make money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They cancelled Young Justice because too many girls were watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
