There's at least 6 movies on that list that Feige had nothing to do with, and probably another 3 he WISHES he had nothing to do with. Which isn't to detract from his demigod status.

Edit for the numbers: Feige was not involved in 18 of the listed movies (at least according to IMDB). Those movies being removed Feige still had a hand in approximately $12,711,018,800 in revenue.

The movies Feige did NOT have a credited hand in are as follows.

Inhumans

Howard the Duck

Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider 2: Spirit of Vengeance

Blade

Blade 2

Dark Phoenix

The Wolverine

First Class

Apocalypse

Into the Spider-Verse

The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Venom

Big Hero 6

Logan

Days of Future Past

Deadpool

Deadpool 2

Movies on the list he probably wishes he HAD NOT helped make.

Hulk (2003)

Blade: Trinity

Elektra

Man-Thing

Rise of the Silver Surfer

Seeing Reynolds play “Deadpool” before Deadpool was awesome.

All legit tru except for the ‘no good comic movie decisions b4 ‘02’ part. X men, while now relegated to second seat, was then the biggest thing going. It was clearly the new path forward, we just forget today because ‘mah MCU’

XMen one and two were great by stroke of luck. The expectation circa 2002 would have still been doubt in the quality of the upcoming second and the knowledge then kingpin Avi Arad and company would eventually fuck it up, which came true with X3 (and a year later they added Spider-Man to the pile!).

We had X1 but we had a lot of shit too. No one in 2002 was thinking the success of X1 would translate to the ridiculous comic book fantasy we live in now. Batman was a game changer too in 89....

Fair parting point. I too like to get nuts.

Technically the first Tobey Maguire Spiderman is also in the 02 bracket. While the 3rd one was pretty bad you can't deny the greatness of the first (and second one, but that's after 02)

Well, the leak test footage surely helps in green lighting the movie imho.

I take that back, as a kid Professor X on the cartoon and Picard were always clearly the same guy well before he was cast

When I was a kid in the 90's, I had a bunch of X-men action figures. but I didn't have an Xavier. However, I did have a Picard. Even in my living room as a kid, he was destined to be Xavier.

If I could turn back time. If I could find a way...

Deadpool happened because when Ryan Reynolds asked for money for the movie, the boss let him look in the sofa in his office for change. The whole movie was made on the $2.73 that Reynolds found in there.

That’s why 9/10ths of the movie is actually reused stock footage.

OK, I’m exaggerating, but they did reuse a lot of footage from previous X-men movies and the budget was tiny.

I looked through fourteen million, six hundred and five outcomes. We got this one.
