Comic book fans really do live in a world where everyone who doesn't see the world the way they do needs to be triumphed over and gleefully mocked like a villain don't they

Amy Pascal recalls the moment Kevin Fiege proposed letting Marvel Pictures make Spider-Man
- Thread starter Dalek
- Start date
Peter Parker into Father Figures? That's his thing though. Him idolizing a billionaire nerd that makes gadgets. Sounds like something Peter Parker would do.
Yes.
And then the MCU gave him access to Tony Stark's resources. So we didn't even get that.
(Cue chants of "That was the final battle in Homecoming!")
From a Critical Failure and Box Office dissapointment to making Billions.
At least she was wise enough to accept the proposal and hire Marvel Studios.
Can´t blame her for not liking Feige´s idea at first.

When it comes to Amy Pascal that's very much the case.
From the Sony email leaks, it seems pretty clear that Feige is saying that he tried to advise them before and they didn't listen to his notes. The guy is too polite to say it though.
His pitch is pretty good though since the agreement that he proposed, Marvel Studios being the production company producing the movie for Sony, is essentially the agreement that Disney has with Marvel since they weren't just buying the IP but the whole Marvel machine that already was creating a solid track record of film success when they bought Marvel.
He advised against every single thing AMS2 was raked over for.
The framing of this article relies on highly misogynistic tropes of women that are harmful beyond Pascal. Like you realize this right?

The framing of the article are literal quotes from Pascal herself. Are you suggesting she was misquoted?

The content of the article is quotes from Pascal. The framing of the article, how those quotes are presented and editorialized, is something different from that.
Edit: to be more specific, this is the "framing" of the article:
Talking about her being upset, and using that moment to throw in the "she cried" quote, to make her seem emotional, even though the actual full quote says something more along the lines of "I either cried or threw a sandwich, I don't remember which", which is more humorous and less meant to be an emotional moment.

It's hollywood history that 2 great minds could come together like this for the bloodless collaborative victory that is the MCU spiderman even though I dont like him. I might need to read this book...

I don't get how it's a negative thing. She's talking about how she initially had a negative reaction but then realized that it was a good idea and they came together. The idea of throwing a sandwich is obviously humorous and it's a funny visual.
It's such a human reaction for a process that can seem so mysterious sometimes.
It's a negative thing because women are often framed as being emotional and out of control (hence "hysterical"). The article, especially the title, really leans into that.

These are actually good notes, though.
The story of that meeting has been recounted before about her throwing a sandwich at Feige and half-jokingly telling him to "get the fuck out".
The ‘Black Panther’ Movie Deal That Didn’t Get Made
Marvel once tried to sell the movie rights to a whole roster of its characters. Rejection led the company to make the movies itself—and to create the most successful studio in Hollywood.

The thing that makes me laugh about this post is that Spider-Man Homecoming also has an "X years later" card except they fucked up the timeline. They very nearly tried to rectify it in the Blu-ray release by changing it from 8 to 5 but eventually it seems they realized just changing the number of years on the card wasn't the only problem as Keaton says "eight years" in dialogue and also based on the childish drawing in the intro and the fact that his daughter is a high school senior afterwards, she obviously wasn't 12/13 when she made that drawing, so they never did change the card in the end.
Yes, and ironically putting Spider-Man in the MCU made that aspect of the character far less prominent.
They're still better movies than ASM1 and 2 were though lol
This seems extremely out of line. You're saying you're glad that a dictatorship regime attacked a company because of something inconsequential. Not to mention North Korea hacking Sony had nothing to do with her. It was because of the plot of a Seth Rogen film.
Seriously its really fucked seeing people defend her ass
Yikes

sarcasm not actually happy. wasn't very clear it was a joke. sorry
My apologies. I sometimes have difficulties noticing sarcasm haha. It doesn't help that I've seen this sentiment on reddit from time to time where some are happy about the North Korea dictatorship hacking Sony since it's indirectly responsible for bringing Spider-man to the MCU.

The thing is not that Feige "gets it", a lot of people get it, the thing is that it seems he's the only one with "power" that does. Which is funny and sad at the same time
But isn't that literally what she said herself? Unless the book is misquoting her
I'm a bit confused why the headline upset people
No, it isn't literally what she said.
"I think I started crying and threw him out of my office, or threw a sandwich at him - I'm not sure which."
That's not a definitive statement.
I like your Spider-Man, except it sucks. So let me do the Spider-Man and that way it might be really good.
Perfect.
That TASM3 draft must've been straight garbage. Good on Feige for not kissing ass.
At least she was smart enough to realize she sucks.
Not that the Hollandman movies are anything great but at least they're competently made.

Just realized this is Amy Pascal. For some reason I had a completely different image in my head lol.
