Ike's the kind of guy that refills otter pop wrappers with water and puts em back in the freezer.

Ike only uses free shampoo from hotels.

Sorry guys, didn't mean to rain on the love parade for Winter Soldier. Like I said in my last post, I actually think the Russos did a great job. I just don't think the film ought to be held up on a mantle as being one of the best of all time in its genre (which we've been highlighting in terms of 'action'). Of course that's my own opinion. If you need somebody to say 'this is my opinion' after every post then I can't help you.
Holy cow
What action movies have you seen that makes you say that? If there are any scenes in particular that I could watch on YouTube, I am interested.
Nah, he just empties out soap vendors in rest rooms and uses that as shampoo. Screw actually spending money to stay at a hotel before getting your free toiletries

All these cheap Jew jokes are getting kind of uncomfortable

I would love more than 2 marvel movies a year. The problem so far has been that 90% of their movies are Iron Man, Thor and Captain America.
There's SO many marvel heroes, and only being able to see 2 of them per year is just painful. I think one movie per quarter would be perfect.

Perlmutter has always been notoriously cheap.
You're the only person I've seen equate that to being Jewish.

I'm happy about this, not just because Perlmutter is a well documented penny pincher and meddler to a fault, but because this is just the kind of move to make someone like Feige re-up on a future contract, and have enough financial leverage to entice the talent attached to the characters to do the same. Always been a bit worried that if he and the bulk of the mainstay casts jump ship after Infinity War when a lot of those contracts expire, there will be a marked drop in quality. Sure, not everybody is gonna stick around forever, especially Hemsworth, Evans, and Johannson, but even if they could be tempted to pop back in here and there, it'll give the overarching MCU franchise more staying power, like combining the longevity of Bond films with the cohesion of Star Trek films.
Really dude...

Any non Hollywood Jackie Chan movie will have batter action that Cap 2. Cap 2 is the best superhero action movie so far however, Imo.
Funny how the only one to bring that stereotype was you. We know as FACT that he is that cheap and pennypinching.

This explains SO much
Aren't marvel films among the highest budget films already? 0.o
holy shit this dude seems racist as fuck to boot
I heard Clark Gregg helped him though.
Comic Marvel would be out of business if not for him.
Daredevil?

Any chance it had at being an awesome action movie are ruined by the excessive shaky cam.
Its not really that bad.
You need to readjust your tiers.
Great is a notch below classic, which is what Terminator 2/Fury Road/Matrix are. But by any quantifiable logic, Cap: TWS is a great action film. And I say this is as someone who thinks The Avengers - Thor 2 was a horrifyingly MEDIOCRE run of films.

winter soldier wasn't even the best action movie of it's year. smh. yeah it had the best action choreography marvel has done so far (and among the best in comic book action overall) but that still manages to fall short of what the overall genre has to offer.
edge of tomorrow and raid 2 were >>>>>>. also i don't really like TWS that much after they meet that robot. the film kind of lost it's intrigue and became another marvel movie to me towards the end. first half was dope tho.
anyways good for them that they're finally bypassing ike. dude comes across as a fascist. feige though, not a fan of that guy either. But at least he's not cheap (and racist) so he'll be able to continue as planned without any hindrance.

Shaky cam has it's purposes, but it's most odious use is to disguise how slow and clunky the actors are performing the choreography which is what WS is guilty of.
I dont think the shaky cam was this bad in Winter Soldier. There are far worse movies.
Ultimately this means nothing to Marvel's output going forward. In fact the differences that this will make will be on a smaller day to day level that we won't notice in their output.
Fiege and Perlmutter were the different sides of the same coin and while ol' Ike was a nutter I don't think Marvel's notoriously cheap ways are going to change meaning that they will still short change actors and try to sign them to almost insultingly low paid multi film contracts.
The Marvel formula works and they are not going to rock the boat any now that Fiege won't have to run everything past Monty Burns.
Marvel TV will still be fucked however.
Why would they increase the budget when things are working so well for them at the moment? And while they do short change the talent they try and attract that's only one small part of working within the 'Marvel machine'.
What director worth their salt would work with a unit that sees the producers and writers calling the shots and carrying more creative weight than the directors themselves.
That's Fiege's doing just as much as Ike's.

Envy is gross.
I see your point, but I would not pay for my work stuff either. Marvel should pay.

Chris Evans is paid to go to the Gym ?
Next he asks Marvel to pay him for acting lessons. Surely he needs them. And now they have big pockets.
They're paying him to be Captain America, that would imply some sort of expectation about his level of fitness and how his body looks.
They should absolutely be paying for it, its a work expense.
Like Mark Hamill got a contract that forced him to get a beard for TFU, I assume Chris Evans is forced to gain some muscles for Cap movies.
