as far as they see it he's charting blockbuster films that can spawn sequel after sequel on a pretty tight budget. and pleasing us takes all of what pixar can bring and all of disney at it's best. feige's like the rosetta stone between miramax, pixar and classic disney.

Oh my god holy lol

My God, that's funny!t:

saw it and LOVED it - if you want you can read my spoiler free review here http://www.unleashthefanboy.com/movies/avengers-the-review-spoiler-free/8510


hulk really stole the show imo

Tell us something new, mate.

 

[craigdbfan]

That Ruffalo clip was hilarious.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Lol, that's the biggest fanboy over estimation I've heard in a long while.

Take it up with Variety and the Deadline Hollywood gal, Nikki something. They're the ones floating that story. And knock off the goddamn fanboy crap.

Might be disassembled and extremis combined, not sure. I just don't like the t1000 inside his body concept.
I would not mind him mentally controlling the tech I guess, although that would make J.A.R.V.I.S obsolete.

Maybe that would give them a chance to make JARVIS into VISION. I'm not married to the characters, but as definitely more of an X-men Marvel fan, whenever I think of the Avengers I think of Vision. And Scarlet Witch. So if they change Visions origin, all good with me, and it would be easy to add as a secondary character in IM3 or CA2...

nikki finke is well respected amongst film rumour journalism. i haven't paid enough attention to test her connections against the resultant events, but if she's right about this then i might remember.

 

[Silvermoon]

that was damn fast and not necessarily easy. big props. even if just for knowing enough to make it easy.

*lol* thanks. My secret? the DownloadHelper add-on for Firefox. I'm just lucky that I was able to rip them from the site (some sites aren't DH friendly)

Has this been posted?

Keep an eye out for naked Hulk!

So does it look like people will be saying Whedon has changed the game for comic book movies like they were saying for you know who?

 

[TheVileOne]

Lol, that's the biggest fanboy over estimation I've heard in a long while. Disney likes to hire within, and those who fully grasp the Disney history and legacy. Marvel studios is still the "new kid on the block" John Lassiter and the heads at Pixar stand a much much much bigger chance then feige

spideyboy_1111, it's just a rumor reported by Nikki Finke at Deadline.com. It might not pan out. A rumor from the same insider or perhaps a different one also said that Feige is a creative guy and might not be happy with that type of role.

Also keep in mind even though Marvel is new kid on the block, it's still technically from within Disney. And despite being new, Marvel under Feige has built a number of franchises and brands and created some lucrative franchises for the company. Thor, Iron Man, and Cap were all big success stories. Iron Man is a billion dollar movie franchise now. Even a character like Thor, they made a movie that made $450 million worldwide, almost half a billion for a relatively unknown and obscure character and borderline B-lister at least in comparison to guys like Wolverine and Spider-Man.

Voldemort didn't really change the game for comic book movies. Just my opinion

Goddamn HP nerds.

 

[Crimson King]

I don't see how CBM.com will change the game at all.

 

[Danalys]

i don't care about changing the game. i want some superhero film to stand with raiders of the lost ark or a new hope or ghostbusters as cultural icons. and i want a very different superhero movie to be compared to citizen kain because it changes what film can do. not changing the game of superhero movies but changing the game of movies. serial entertainment as blockbuster might just do that.

Ehh as cool as it'd be I don't see it. Doesn't seem like a Disney move at all. People need to realize a position like that is far beyond just films and movies. I however could easily see a Pixar head get that.... And I think most Disney insiders would probably feel the same way.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

As for the marvel civil war..... I think some elements would work very well. I wouldn't want a direct translation, and wouldn't think it would be.

 

[TheVileOne]

spideyboy_1111, not really. They made John Lasseter the CCO of Disney Animation after the Pixar/Disney merge.

I'm not wild about the Civil War idea. It was okay as a comic, but we're already getting a movie where the heroes fight each other. Granted, it's only growing pains as they form the team, but it kind of takes the luster off of a Civil War showdown. At least in part, it's been done already.

Plus, they have way better stories to use. Civil War shouldn't even be in the top 5.

Except for the fact Lasseter already had a long history with Disney having worked for them before he helped create Pixar....

And then worked with Disney at Pixar continuing a great relationship for about a decade before he got the position

yep there's masters of evil, kree skrull war, ultron, secret invasion, avengers vs hulk(WWH sort of), infinity gauntlet, secret wars. and probably a bunch of other avengers stuff i don't know about.

OK and so? In the two+ plus years since the Marvel acquisition, Feige has helped shepherd numerous successful franchises and movies for Disney.

Also spideyboy, the argument can be made Disney promoted from within this time with Rich Ross and it didn't work out very well. IF Feige were to take the position it could be seen as a different and yet bold/positive move.

not discrediting Feige for his success..because it's a great one. but there's simply more people currently working for Disney who have far more successes and experience under their belt. Iron Man so far is the largest success story Marvel Studios has...(if we're just counting his success at Marvel studios) it's too soon to know for 100% sure about avengers so far. Thor did well, inc Hulk did not, and cap did moderately. nearly everyone of Pixars films have been a home run. (however he does also get points for the x-men and spider-man franchises)

I mean... if we are judging by a few films success rates, then we might as well let Jerry Bruckheimer take the position for the Pirates franchise...

Feige would do an ok job though and we would at least know marvel would get great treatment. But as a big disney fan too.. I gotta say Feige has very little experience with animation.... and running the empire that is disney. He's the executive producer over at marvel... he has no experience with merchandising, animation, television, or running a theme park.

I think for all of disney's main stay properties... they need someone far more well rounded than simply a "film producer".

 

[spideyboy_1111]

I would also like to ask (because i was originally reading the post from my cell) is the job the official CEO of everything Disney? or is it just a film division? because that would probably be more tailored to him. (aside of course from the animation part)

 

[TheVileOne]

Rich Ross was Chairman of Walt Disney Studios.

Bob Iger is CEO of The Walt Disney Company.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

ok, well my bad. i was going to say, its far less likely he'd be the CEO. He's more likely for Chairman of WDS. Since i do believe the Animation film division is a whole separate section
