If you don't mind speaking in two, because we've had this conversation, David, is the profitability of Iron Man versus the Dark Knight movies that were very successful, maybe even outgrossed, but could you share some of that?
So not only do you have this beautiful creativity, but it's how do you make money doing it?
And again, Robert Downey Jr.
won.
People won all over the place, but watch this, please.
I am also very competitive, so when I'm running Marvel, I wanted to really win.
And to show you how delusional this thinking was, even my board had no faith in the Iron Man movie the day it opened.
So we had a board meeting in LA, which was the first one ever, Marvel's New York based.
And the chairman of the board came up to me and said, Ike wants you to know that if the movie doesn't do well, it's okay.
We'll make money on the toys.
And the board has voted that if the movie breaks even, you get a half a million dollar bonus.
So their bar was breaking even, right?
Which was not a high bar in this situation.
But my goal... And what were you thinking and feeling in that moment?
I was thinking, yeah, thank you.
It's like, I'm going to go spend it.
No, it was a combination.
It was like, really?
You don't have the trust in it?
To thank you for that?
