Reply to comment by Dirtilie_Dirtle in Ike Perlmutter Is Finally And Permanently Gone by NerdNuncle

Amongst other reasons:

  • His reasoning for replacing Terrence Howard with Don Cheadle was that "no one would know the difference" because both are black (as opposed to more valid reasons like "Howard is a domestic abuser" or "Howard is a lunatic who thinks 1*1=2" or "Cheadle is a way better actor").
  • He forced Kevin Feige & Shane Black to change the villain of Iron Man 3 from Maya Hansen to Aldrich Killian, under the claim that toys of women wouldn't sell (& then he didn't bother making toys of Killian anyway).
  • He drove Patty Jenkins away from directing Thor 2, which in turn led to Natalie Portman phoning in that performance & then walking away from the MCU.
  • Similarly, he's the reason Pepper Potts didn't show up anytime between Iron Man 3 and Homecoming, even though Tony Stark did (Paltrow refused to work with such a raging misogynist anymore).
  • He tried to get Feige fired at some point for no good reason.
  • He was the reason no Black Widow movie made the release slate in the first 2.5 phases.
  • He's the reason X-Men & Fantastic Four comics were so sparse for a long time; he didn't want to promote IPs that they didn't have the film rights to.
  • He drove Feige to threaten to quit over their arguments about putting Downey in Civil War; Perlmutter didn't want to pay Downey's salary for it. (This is what led Iger to reorganize Marvel Studios into the Disney film division, so Feige then reported to Alan Horn instead of to Perlmutter.)
  • He refused to greenlight Black Panther or Captain Marvel unless Feige also greenlit an Inhumans movie that Feige had no interest in making. Upon Marvel Studios' emancipation, Feige immediately canceled the Inhumans movie, which led Perlmutter to force Jeph Loeb (Marvel Television was still stuck in the Marvel Entertainment division) to rush out the Inhumans show instead as quickly & cheaply as possible.
  • He actually blocked Marvel Studios from making bigger references to the Marvel Television productions, even though they wanted to.

Boardgames, video games, cars, sports (all different ranges like hockey, hiking, golfing). Just type the hobby you are interested in and join a group. Near where I live there is a men social club, a real mgtow group (not the fake one that just complain and put down women). They hang at a bar, they have music, booze and they have a blast. They don't accept any kind of misogyny or incels view though.
