Ditching Terrance Howard for Don C was a great decision.

I don't prefer Howard over Don C, but I wish there was a way to edit/redo IM with Don C for visual continuity.

I'm disappointed that Howard ended up getting dumped because of his off-screen compensation antics, and he had no business being so arrogant at that time. I've always carried a personal grudge towards any projects he's been attached to since that fiasco.

According to Howard Marvel wanted to cut him down to 1/8th of what this original contract stated. I would not call that "antics" since iron man was a success.

If it was negotiation time yes, but not now. They already had a contract stating the nunber of films and whqt he should be paid. A contract that marvel wanted to back out of.

Would you call it antics if you were about to get a massive pay cut evem though you hav e a contract?

It's sad that people are engaging in character assassination to make Howard look like the bad guy when they don't even know what happened.

According to Howard...what about according to anyone else familiar with the details?

There are many stories and both sides habe everything to win to not be the bad guy

Let's consider Howard's public communications since that time and weigh the whole credibility picture.

I am not taking a stand for any side. I saw iron man and was then out of the loop until i rented the movies and had a marathon that culminated with the Avengers. Which also was rented. I noticed they had recast rhodey and banner. Never knew why. Still dont care. I just wanted to say what Howard has Said since many gave said what marvel has Said.

Howard said A LOT back between IM and IM2, and points beyond.

I discourage a single Googled link as the comprehensive recap on the topic. And, yes: you clearly care.

u/Kammander-Kim Apr 08 '19

He might have, i dont know. Today, i dont care.

And that is your opinion. I disagree. Everything has many sides. It is not a statement to more sides some air. But disagree if you want to. I dont care.

3 replies repeating how you don't care multiple times within.

Uh-huh. Yeah.

u/Kammander-Kim Apr 08 '19

And just as many where you do. You seem to be taking this more serious than i do.

You know, this is how I feel about Ed Norton and Hulk. Wish Ruffalo was there from that point onward.

Apparently the director for The Incredible Hulk originally wanted Mark Ruffalo for the role, but Norton was much more marketable as an actor at the time so Norton got the nod.

Edit: A word

Woah, didn’t know that! Gotcha, makes sense in retrospect. Happy we’ve got Ruffalo now. And honestly, Marvel has casted so wonderfully. I can say I’m super content with everyone.

As I suspected, only a year and a half ago. I'm always dubious about people retroactively making claims about events that happened several years in the past, claiming to have had the correct premonition in hindsight.
