But not understanding that his boss(Perlmutter) had a clear philosophy on things that stop things from happening is factual. People probably told you were wrong in that thread and people are going to tell that you are wrong in this thread. Your criticism isn't being being deflected because "Feige never does anything wrong" it because your opinion is a bad one.
I am not going to back forth I am going just going to show the slate of stuff now that Feige is firmly in control
Blade
Falcon and Winter Solider
Shang Chi
Ms Marvel
She Hulk
WandaVision
Eternals-With a diverse cast
Thor- with Jane taking a central role
The slate of stuff before had 20 plus movies had 1 black lead, 1 had female lead. The quote "Ike doesn't discriminate or care about diversity he focuses on money." when you have the thinking that movies with minorities or women leads don't sell what do you think happens?
Lastly Zach Synder does not get any slack because he has had major creative failures. Feigie has overseen maybe the best stretch in terms of success for a movies ever. Plus Feige and company did what Star Wars, Game of Thrones, Sopranos, Lost, How I meet your mother and host of other things failed to do. Which is to close off a pop culture phenom with a satisfying ending. Everytime I see people try to be critical of Endgame now people don't seem understand how big of deal it was to create a movie that satisfyingly wrap up peoples years of investment in franchise ,satisfyingly closed movie arc AND make sure the movie felt epic and big. I just have to point across over to other side at Disney and Star Wars show what a big deal sticking the landing was for MCU. Synder/Whedon failed to make a profit for a movie with Superman,Batman,Wonder Woman,the Justice League and that every comic book nerd was waiting for to happen. If years ago before they were made someone told you that Aquaman would make a billion and Justice League movie would leave WB/DC in a hole financially you would have been laughed out of the room. Something like this is the most amazing thing
Cap 1
Budget $140–216.7 million
Box office $370.6 million
Cap 2
Budget $170–177 million
Box office $714.4 million
Cap 3
Budget $250 million
Box office $1.153 billion
Man of Steel
Budget $225–258 million
Box office $668 million
BatmanVSuperman
Budget $250–300 million
Box office $873.6 million
Justice League
Budget $300 million
Box office $657.9 million
So there that is a visual representation of why Zach Synder gets no slack. It is mind blowning with those characters how much they whiffed. And to further bring it home this what people did other DC characters who aren't the big names
Aquaman
Budget $160–200 million
Box office $1.148 billion
Shazam
Budget $80–100 million
Box office $366 million
Wonder Woman
Budget $120–150 million
Box office $821.8 million
