Marvel Comics executive speaks to full house at University
10/19/07

A standing-room-only crowd of business students, professors and comic book fans gathered in the Nevins Theater on Oct. 18, 2007 to hear the Vice Chairman/Director of Marvel Enterprises, Inc. and Chairmen of the Alfred University Board of Trustees, Peter Cuneo, speak.

Cuneo graduated from Alfred University in 1967 with a bachelor’s degree in glass science. Since then, this well known “Turnaround Man” has earned seven success stories in consumer-product companies such as Clairol, Black & Decker and Remington. Cuneo is also senior adviser to Plainfield Asset Management LLC and was previous CEO at Marvel Enterprises Inc. Cuneo joined Marvel in 1999, just after the company emerged from bankruptcy.

Cuneo explained, “Coming out of bankruptcy is like finishing chemotherapy: You are theoretically ‘cured’ but also very weak … the reality is you’re very sick as a company.” Under his wing, Marvel Enterprises, Inc. has created 10 motion pictures, nine of which are considered successful.

From the second Cuneo took the stage, he had the crowd’s full attention. All eyes were focused on “Marvel’s Superhero CEO.” He opened his presentation with an action-packed, short film full of upbeat music, behind-the-scenes clips from upcoming movies The Incredible Hulk and Ironman, and surprising facts about how Marvel works and why the company is so successful today. The movie talked briefly about the expansion of Marvel and Marvel products.

After the film Cuneo continued to wow the crowed with his Marvel turnaround story. He gave the audience many pieces of advice that are helpful both in and outside of the business world. When describing the standards he had for Marvel Enterprises Inc., he said, “I hate the word average … I don’t like to be average. Average is a curse word and we simply don’t accept that.”

Cuneo spent some time explaining how he became so successful. He had six tips to give to the crowd. Some of which include: Communicate often; listen well but be impatient; a new culture can accept mistakes but be decisive; and strategy and tactics are useless without effective leadership.

Students, faculty and fans left the theater with a new sense of appreciation for Marvel Enterprises Inc. and a better understanding of the hard work it takes to become so successful.

9 out of 10 considered successful....Can I take a guess as to what the "unsuccessful" one was.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Elektra was the only film that did not make a profit from theatrical revenue.

 

[Sarg92]

Man those students are so lucky!

I hope someone who saw the footage will post a review of what they saw.

oh yeah...I actually forgot about that one.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Yeah the rest all made money even Punisher & Blade: Trinity.

Maybe you can find out what was shown. Ask around and come back with the scoop, I'm sure everyone will appreciate it.

Woopi-****ing-do! We wont get to see it. Could somebody simply give us a description of what was shown, I would be happy... But that probably wont even happen!

Didn't know about the clips though.

I don' think this is anything to get excited about. They saw BEHIND THE SCENES stuff, which is basically the motion version of all the behind the scenes pics we've seen on here so far.

 

[Advanced Dark]

^ You're assuming it's the same stuff. It might have been like the FF2 behind the scenes clips which showed quite a bit of green screen work and some stunt work. I compiled 52 videos online of the set filming so we've already seen that.

 

[Golgo-13]

Well if it was anything news worthy, i think it would have been all over the net by now. Sure it may not be the same stuff we've seen, but i doubt it's anything to get out our cheerleader poms-poms over either.

Nobody has their pom pom's out it's just some Hulk news. It's also something that wasn't expected so I doubt very many people were there. Those that were there probably have better things to do than rush to the internet and tell us about it...if they even know about this site.

That's just ridiculous. If it's exclusive news why wouldn't they wanna post it on the net? You sure do it. And i'm quite sure the rest of the human race , especially those on a college campus have discovered something as vital as the world wide web. I'm not talking about posting it solely on SHH, there are many sites out there, whether you believe it or not, that are following this movie. I've checked them. There's was nothing report worthy to report.

Ok. Let's move on.
