Me too.
I would have, somebody asked me like, hey, how many Iron Man comics a month do you think Marvel was selling?
I don't know, my gut reaction might have been 100,000 a month.
You know, something like that.
The only thing that reached that level back then was X-Men and Spider-Mans because of the movies.
So you have this property, this ecosystem of $5,000 a month.
Obviously, if people are reading Iron Man comics monthly...
They have a pretty deep love for Iron Man and a pretty clear perspective on what Iron Man should be to them.
And now you're going to decide what movie to make and you're stepping in and you have to build something for Marvel.
How do you select Iron Man?
How do you take something that only 5,000 people per month are reading, take this to make money, honor these folks, not make them enemies?
And I know we told a lot of this story before, but maybe let's start there.
or half a step back from there, this is your job now, you're being brought in, you have an idea, or it's about to be your job, please, David, take us back.
Yeah, and I'll start with the point where there was a whole process that Sean and I discussed last time of where the idea came for the MCU.
Now the word universe, cinematic universe, is used a lot, but that didn't exist back then.
And the studios made the movies, and if you owned IP, you licensed it to the studios.
And they would spend the 200 million to make the movie, and they'd have full creative control, and they'd keep 98% of the profits.
Can I just make sure this is landing for everybody?
So David, am I hearing you correctly?
That what would happen is, and this was Spider-Man.
