Out Magazine: Marvel’s Chairman Isaac Perlmutter Is Also Donald Trump’s Largest Donor

The 1% CEOs chummy with a Republican president billionaire? You don't say. Don't glorify the wealthy.
In before more people try to connect this with Marvel movies and how they're horrible anyway and should be boycotted.
Yeah you just can't connect Marvel with Marvel movies that's a huge stretch!
Yeah, stories came out a while ago about how he was against female led superhero movies and the Black Panther film. I think Feige had to threaten to quit in order for the higher ups at Disney to free him of Perlmutter's control.
Basically the guy is racist and sexist. And he is the reason why we didn't see diversity sooner in the MCU.
Marvel Studios split from Ike Perlmutter's Marvel Entertainment awhile ago, because as stated earlier, Kevin Feige hates him.
Meh, this is something one could easily assume. He's been known to be an ultra conservative asshole...
That's what I'm referring to.
I'm not saying it's not an easy mistake to make, but people were really quick to point out how they didn't care for Marvel movies anyway.
Oh okay, but we're still supposed to boycott anything Marvel that's not the movies then?
THIS I don't know, lol. Something tells me he's not in charge of the comics side either, however.
He is technically still "in charge" of the comics and licensing divisions of Marvel but has not had any day-to-day job capacity at the company since 2016 when he became a major booster and advisor to Trump. He barely has anything to do with Marvel anymore and just collects a paycheck and his Disney shares from the Marvel buyout.
Most people take opportunities such as this to shit on things they hate. They don't really care about whether it gets boycotted or not.
This guy is also the one who block Black Widow solo movies and also requested the villain in Iron Man 3 to be changed from Rebecca Hall's Maya Hansen to Guy Pearce's Aldrich Killian.
you get shamed because you don't follow suit, even if it's ludicrous
I'm kind of surprised it's someone like that and not an oil exec or like someone from Lockheed Martin or some bullshit.
Also - aren't there caps on individual donations like that? Shouldn't it be like a shitload of people tied for #1?

This is the same dude that tried to sabotage Feige's plans for the MCU as well as block female led films. Not surprised by this at all.
Yep it was a miracle Disney got Marvel Studios out of his grasp
I may be wrong but doesn't seem like he has total control over the comics side of things either. They just keep fucking that up on their own.
I think cancel culture is pretty dumb, but I also can't imagine being that sensitive about someone suggesting we "cancel" a billionaire CEO or a multi billion media corporation lmao
Boycott of what? Perlmutter doesn't have say on the Marvel movies. He very publicly lost that control because of Kevin Feige's frustrations with him.Finally, an overzealous ERA boycott I can get behind!
Pretty sure he basically threatened to resign if he wasn't allowed to not have to get stuff approved by Perlmutter anymore, with Bob Iger being smart enough to know that having the person in charge of the MCU leave, would be a monumental mistake. So Iger approved plans that let Feige report to someone else
Yep, he's why we're only now getting a Black Widow film, and that Black Panther and Captain Marvel came out after Ike lost control of Marvel Studios..
That's not the point of a boycott. He does benefit from them financially, and removing him from a position where he can is why you would boycott.
If you're already evil enough to be a billionaire why would anyone be surprised that you support the man who's primary policy is crony capitalism and does such wonderful things as telling people at mar a lago "you all just got a lot richer" after passing tax reforms that he publically promised were for the little guy.
Think of the hundreds of millions of dollars this guy stands to make as a future trump crony and with how awful policies enacted.
