Bob Iger Wants To Meet With Martin Scorsese Over His 'Nasty' Marvel Movie Comments

Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney Corporation, recently stated that he thought Martin Scorsese’s comments regarding the Marvel Cinematic Universe were “nasty” and “not fair” to the people who worked on them. The Hollywood Reporter got their hands on a new Time interview in which Bob made his remarks. Bob Iger Wants To Meet With Martin Scorsese Over His 'Nasty' Marvel Movie Comments.

Many people on Twitter, including the CEO of Disney himself, haven’t forgiven Martin for saying Marvel movies weren’t “true cinema.” Mr. Iger claimed Martin was the kind of artist who wanted to take risks, however, that doesn’t mean Disney movies and other Marvel creations can’t be considered art.

Furthermore, Iger admitted he and some of Scorsese’s representatives were planning on sitting down for a chat regarding his opinion. As most know, Martin’s previous statements have been on top of the entertainment news headlines for months.

As it was previously reported, filmmakers like Joss Whedon, James Gunn, and Kevin Feige, all defended Marvel against The Irishman director’s comments, with many of them saying they loved Martin’s movies, however, they couldn’t get behind what he said.

Additionally, this wouldn’t be the first time Bob has mentioned Martin’s Empire interview. Speaking with BBC Radio earlier this year, Bob thought out loud that he thought Scorsese hadn’t even watched a Marvel movie before.

Bob stated it wasn’t possible for a person to sit through a Marvel movie and not feel like it wasn’t a great film. However, some of the other more critically acclaimed directors have similar opinions, including Francis Ford Coppola in addition to Jon Favreau. Coppola was even less sensitive, saying the movies were “despicable.”

Since then, Martin hasn’t backed down at all from his original statement, even saying at the London Film Festival and in a New York Times opinion story that the films were “market-researched, audience-tested, vetted, modified, revetted, and remodified,” until they were finally suitable for the public’s enjoyment.

Whether or not Martin’s comments are justifiable or not, Scorsese’s latest movie has exceeded expectations, becoming one of Netflix’s best movies. In fact, within the first month of its release, it has been viewed by 26 million households.

Ragnarok Game, The Publishers Of Rune II, Files A Lawsuit Against Human Head Studios For Turning Their Back On The Game

Currently, the lawsuit stated that Human Head studios did not reveal its pending acquisition by Bethesda, and now they wouldn’t return Rune II assets. Saying the launch of the Viking action-RPG Rune II was impressive would be a little exaggerating.

It started on November 12, when the game went live on the Epic Games Store only for Human Head Studios to abandon the game in November 2013, literally the same door they came back to the game but this time as Bethesda-owned Roundhouse Studios.

So the next day, the publisher of Rune II, Ragnarok Game reassured fans that though they lost a developer, the game would continue to actively supported along with the planned post-launch content. They went on to say this wasn’t their expectation by saying in a statement ‘we found out about this news when you did.’ Ragnarok Game, The Publishers Of Rune II, Files A Lawsuit Against Human Head Studios For Turning Their Back On The Game.

However, Ragnarok allegedly said Human Head in a post today in the Rune II forum, stating that the studio refused to give the final source code and the game assets, despite several requests to submit the necessary information. On that note, Ragnarok Games made decisions by filing a lawsuit against the studio.

The lawsuit clearly states that the development did not go smoothly. They said, ‘for instance, the initial schedule set which was 11 ‘milestones’ but due to Human Head lackluster management, errors, and delays, which ultimately stretched to 23 milestones, of which Ragnarok had to pay for.’

They also said that Human Head Studio suddenly stopped communicating and unavailable for a couple of weeks before the launch of Rune II. And that on November November 7, three days before the final release, Human Head’s ex-COO Ben Gokey told his plight to Ragnarok that the studio was closing—but didn’t tell Ragnarok that Bethesda had paid a lump sum for Human Head Studios.

The new Roundhouse Studios and Human Head have the exact business address ‘1741 Commercial Ave, Madison, Wisconsin. The same employees of Human Head studios and heads in the same physical space were replicated as Bethesda’s Roundhouse Studios just a few days after the launch of Rune II‘ according to the lawsuit.

Ragnarok was caught unawares of these developments and only was aware from the press, also with the audience. What is surprising here is Ragnarok’s effort to reach out to Human Head Studio’s COO on November November 8 to ask about the employees, Gokey said that would be a problem. Still, the issues he didn’t mention was that those employees are on the verge of becoming Bethesda employees.

The issue now is Human Head Studios is refusing to hand over the final source code of Rune II and its assets so that Ragnarok would make further payments for Human Head’s Unfinished deliverables. The lawsuit also states that though Bethesda now owns human Head Studios, and against their initial publisher’s instructions. Human Head did not only keep their part of the agreement, but they also uploaded and tried to launch a refashioned and unaccepted Rune II build to the Epic Games Store Staging.

Finally, Ragnarok lawsuit demands the return of the game assets and final source code (property), the restoration of their financial reimbursement, and at least a sum of $100 million in compensation. Until now, Bethesda representative hasn’t replied to the current situation.

What could happen next? Let’s hope it all ends well because Rune II is too good of a game to ignore!!

Earlier this week, Amanda Bynes posted on her Instagram for the first time in approximately three months claims a new report from Page Six. As most know, Amanda Bynes has struggled with addiction issues, mental health problems, and other legal dramas for years.

The 33-year-old Nickelodeon actress shared a selfie of herself sporting ice-blue hair along with the caption, “Geisha girl vibes.” Bynes appeared to have turned off the commenting section of the photo, probably due to accusations of cultural appropriation.

Back in April of this year, even Rihanna had to cancel a face product with the name, “Geisha Chic,” after fans of hers, and other anonymous social media users complained about the “fetishization of Japanese culture.” Amanda Bynes Posts Her First Photo On IG In Three Months.

On the 10th of September, 2019, Bynes took to her social media again following her past statements regarding how difficult it was to use the platform. In the past, Bynes admitted she had a love-hate relationship with social media.

According to a report from Suzy Kerr on the 26th of September, Amanda Bynes’s mental state and addiction struggles have increased over the years. For instance, the star had to live in a sober living home and was “taking one day at a time” following her exit from rehab in June of the same year.

Insiders who spoke with the publication stated Amanda’s family thought it would be best if she stayed in the facility because she wasn’t “doing well.” Following her celebration of three years of sobriety, Amanda relapsed in January.

She was purportedly trying to get her name back in the public eye again, however, reports stated it was “too much” and “too soon.” As it was noted above, for years, Amanda has struggled with addiction problems, including alcohol and drugs, a stark contrast to the persona she portrayed growing up on the Nickelodeon channel.

Additionally, The Blast reported that Amanda was heading to court in Ventura County for her conservatorship case regarding who will help take care of her. Reportedly, Bynes’s problems intensified when she allegedly tried to light her dog on fire in Thousand Oaks, California, in 2013.
