So just comic books?
I know, I know. Plenty hate him, but there's always a defense force...

Perlmutter isn't in control of Marvel Studios anymore.
That's something, I guess. Still gross the CEO of Marvel Entertainment associates with that orange fascist.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Marvel gets money for the movie when it airs on TV. The amount of money they get is based on how desirable the movie is. Desirablity is based on the ratings the channel will get and how much the channel can sell the ad time around the movie for. Ratings are determined by algorithms that attempt to approximate the total viewing audience from smaller samples gathered via special boxes that watch your viewing habits (that you must opt in to) or through manual journaling from selected households.
So, basically, if you feel entitled to the movies but don't want to give them any money you're going to have to pirate it.

"Soon we will have replaced all the X books with Inhumans, Lord Trump".
Just one more shovelful on the pile for Perlmutter. I've never heard a nice thing said about him.
That said, he's basically unrelated to Marvel Studios at this point. Feige rules that particular branch of Marvel.

I don't really understand how you can be a human being in 2016, much less a prominent business leader, and go without being photographed for 30 years.
Really? Before the movies no one was checking for Marvel.

Who said he could get out of Trump? Back in you go.

Plus, from everything I've heard, he's legitimately slightly insane. He basically just crunches numbers at this point since all his other departmental oversights were taken from him.
When Disney purchased Marvel, Perlmutter received $590m in Disney stock which means he gets a share of Disney's profits each year
So effectively, any purchase of Disney products is indirectly benefiting Perlmutter
In reality, every company is going to have a shareholder you don't like so it's not really something you can avoid
I wonder how much input he actually has over the comics. Can't see someone riding with trump cosigning Ms.Marvel, The Ultimates, Sam Wilson, and Solo
Roundabout just started playing in my head.

I looks like the red skull from the Captain America movie from the 70's after he tried to make himself look like a regular human

Exactly, if one really has a problem with him they know exactly what to do lol
I would imagine next to none. Doesn't seem like the type that would care that much either as long as it profits.

Trump looks like CGI in that picture.
He needed to buy his aunt's medicine

He's basically just an accountant who has the ability to sign off on the big money stuff at this point. He allows the company to run itself.
I don't think he gives a shit about editorial as long as he's making money. Probably cares more about licensing etc. than anything, which as rumors suggest, why we had the Marvel movies sidelining women characters in merch and poc because "they don't make money".
