Tsujihara just recently got the gig, so he hasnt had time to disappoint. When has hr promised on a movie and failed to deliver? Ill concede until you provide some evidence. With his short time as CEO he has expanded and impressed rather than disappoint. Again, share some referrences and ill concede.
Dude, that's the problem! We have NOTHING to cite! Kevin Feige's first movie was Ironman. In that movie he turned a B-level superhero into a billion dollar machine, he wowed us with Sam Jackson in the first of the now famous credits scenes, AND he laid the groundwork for The Avengers by saying it IN THE MOVIE. When we left the theater we wanted more. THAT'S how you do it. I know you will disagree with this, but MoS was underwhelming. It was the Zack Snyder show. You'll bring up how much money it made, but that doesn't say much. The reason Glee is still on the air is that there are ALOT of people on Earth, and they all have to watch something. Same as with a movie based on the top dog of comic books, Superman. You could make a movie where Superman counts his rocks all day and it would make money.
Speaking of not saying much, having The Rock say he's in line for a role in a DC movie is not so much a bragging point. Sure, he's a box office draw, but he's not an actor. You're better off mentioning that Jeremy Irons will be Alfred, at least Irons is a good actor. I would hate it if The Rock was in a Marvel movie. That's just a publicity thing. Casting Batista as Drax is different because Drax is not a major character, and his role is to be a bald wrecking machine, which is what Batista is. Plus, at this point, in Phase 2, Marvel can afford to add Batista, a talking raccoon and a tree into its universe because they have made enough money and movies to do so.
Again, I'm not pro-anything, just a comic book movie fan who wants Marvel to have some competition that, up until now, is non-existant. PEACE
