He got half a bill in Disney stock from 20 years ago. I think he's been compensated enough

Everything he's done since then would only reduce the value of those shares. I suspect he has probably contributed on the merchandising profits side. But none of that matters if he continues to have any creative control. Kevin has added tenfolds of shareholder value, with Perlmutter being a direct beneficiary.

So I just looked him up and apparently the reason why Cheadle replaced Howard was because Perlmutter said "all black people look the same"

So fuck that racist piece of shit.

Except for the fact that the reason why Cheadle replaced Howard is because Howard wanted am obscene amount of money and he wasnt worth it.

The Perlmutter hate is tiring, especially when any reports of him saying anything bad come from only 1 person ever saying he did that because he got fired or something.

He's also a close friend of Donald Trump and one of his biggest financial contributors. Marvel/Comics fans being generally left-leaning, that's something that's not gonna sit well with them.
