Is he an actual fan of comic books?
Maybe he read a few as a kid.
>“Comics were not high on there, actually. It was the kind of movies based on comics—like [Richard] Donner’s Superman. Later, when I was 16, Tim Burton’s Batman came out. But also the Star Wars movies, the Star Trek movies, the Indiana Jones movies, the Back to the Future movies, the Amblin movies. They all could have been based on comics. Those were the types of movies I loved.">“I always say: ‘I was at the movie theater on Friday, but I only occasionally went to the comic-book shop on Wednesdays—which was new comic book day.’ X-Men was very big at that point. The X-Men comic was very popular, and the other kids would talk about that. So I got into that, and then the animated series came along, which we all remember. But it really was movies and television.”>“When I started at Marvel, I brushed up on it,” Feige said. “A lot of this stuff, because I was a kid growing up in the late 70s and 80s, I absorbed. I knew all the characters. I had all the toys. I had the Underoos. I watched the cartoon series. I couldn’t tell you what happened in what issue, or what was the most famous arc from what artist when I was a kid.”
>>152804984Didn't one of the execs even said that they actively screened out directors who said they were fans of the comics?
>>152804522There was a book about the MCU that came out some two years ago, and it states that Feige only got into comics while he started working on the first X-Men film. He then cheked out on the regular the books that were coming out then on, hence his preference for 2000-onwards storylines.
>>152804502He's a fan of money
>>152804502Probably not. Despite being the biggest thing on the planet the MCU did nothing to move the needle on actual comic sales and, in fact, when Feige managed to get rid of Perlmutter and the Marvel creative committee the first thing he did was take the actual comic panels out of the opening Marvel fanfare and replaced it with scenes from the movie. Compare that to Gunn being the head of DC movies who’s constantly pimping the comic books and recommending comics that inspired his movie actually got people into comic stores over the summer. I don’t think Feige has ever once actually mentioned any specific comic stories
>>152805065Yeah, Feige just wants people to recite his own ideas back to him.
>>152804502I'd like to believe he did... once...
>>152805065>>152805661According to Beah De Mayo during his experiences working on Blade, Feige was more receptive to incorporating comic book lore into the films. It was that Louis guy who was completely disinterested
>>152804502No, he's less of a comic books fan and more of a fake fan who makes money off comic book movies.
>>152805144Lol aren't we all?
>>152805107>Feige is a poser To the shock of no one.
