What do you do at Marvel?
You've spent more time fussing with me than actually discussing the subject that had you fired up enough to create this thread.Yer the expert I guess.
Even without reading the linked article I have stayed on subject more than you.

Cool observation buddy. Feel free to get to my queries . . . when you have time of course. lol
So because you are a customer of Marvel (I'll get to this later) Armie Hammer should have simply named Ike Perlmutter instead of the business he makes his money from? People who are boycotting Equinox/Soul Cycle are doing so because they don't want their money to go to people who support someone they don't. You can't boycott a person, you boycott their source of income.
Btw, you're talking about "the Marvel Brand" when Hammer correctly named Marvel Entertainment as the business Perlmutter is the chairman of, and that has nothing to do with the MCU. So using your own words, you only care about this in the most stan way possible: they're going after something I like. Loyalty to Marvel>>>shytting on Trump's biggest supporters/fundraisers. Got ya
Marvel was cool with Ike saying replacing Terrence Howard with Cheadle was cool because people wouldn't be able to tell the two of them apart but it'sSo because you are a customer of Marvel (I'll get to this later) Armie Hammer should have simply named Ike Perlmutter instead of the business he makes his money from?

for MarvelIke's a piece of shyt and Marvel didn't care because he was making them money. They only made a shift when Feige threatened to leavel. If someone says fukk Marvel for that
This whole episode has happened before with very little traction gained in regards to a Marvel boycott.
Marvel’s CEO gave Donald Trump's foundation $1 million, and people are furious
By Alex Abad-Santosalex@vox.com Jan 29, 2016, 3:30pm EST
Marvel's billionaire CEO Isaac "Ike" Perlmutter sounds like a character straight from the company's comic books. He rarely appears in photos. The stories about the way he once cut budgets at Marvel have become urban legends (see: the allegation that Marvel headquarters only has one bathroom per gender). He reportedly has a concealed carry permit and plays tennis.
And on Friday, we learned a little bit more about the company's enigmatic leader — namely, that he donated $1 million to Donald Trump's veterans fundraiser, which Trump held Thursday night while boycotting the Fox News GOP debate (the funds go directly to Trump's foundation and then will be distributed). "The Perlmutters are thrilled to support their friend Donald Trump in his efforts to help veterans," a Perlmutter rep told the Hollywood Reporter.
The donation has upset people, some of whom may not be completely familiar with Perlmutter's reputation. Considering how progressive and diverse Marvel's comics have become, why would the company's figurehead donate such a large amount of money — or any money, really — to someone who has built his campaign on xenophobia and Islamophobia and whose supporters resort to sexism. The move doesn't seem to align with the fact that one of Marvel's most popular comics is about a Pakistani-American Muslim teenage girl named Ms. Marvel.
But the key thing to note here is that Perlmutter doesn't speak for the creators, artists, writers, and editors who work for his company.
For one thing, his vision hasn't always matched theirs. In May, a leaked email from Perlmutter revealed his distaste for making a female superhero film; in October the company announced that the studio would be producing its first solo female superhero movie, Captain Marvel. In between, a September report stated that Perlmutter was no longer in charge of Marvel's moviemaking decisions.

I'm saying it is disingenuous because he is trying to soil the movie studio more than anything which Perlmutter is no longer involved. Hammer works in movies not TV, comics, toys etc. Movies is the sector he would have the most sway.
I'm a self- admitted stan and don't hide my hands about my intentions. And I don't think a random actor has much sway over the political conversation like they do the movie industry so he isn't hurting Trump but is attempting to hurt Marvel Studios.
Now what are you going to get to later?

No, it is the same guy Ike Perlmutter.
Your queries were stupid and just shining examples of you taking all of this stuff way too seriously.
So I won't be answering them queries, chief. :supyall:
He said Marvel Entertainment.
If Marvel has a piece of shyt racist that donated to Trump as chairman and due to the way their company is organized, people think he has a say in the movie side, that's Marvel's problem.

You answered one but not the others. But we know why don't we?
And even if people were going to take Hammer's call to boycott seriously they would just do like they have been doing with Stephen Ross where they are all in on boycotting Equinox/Soul Cycle but nobody's talking about boycotting the Miami Dolphins (which Ross owns) or the NFL (where he gets a share of the profits).So because you are a customer of Marvel (I'll get to this later) Armie Hammer should have simply named Ike Perlmutter instead of the business he makes his money from?

Boycotting is an a la carte exercise nowadays.
