There’s the purely professional level, which involves feeling acute responsibility for this film and the investment these people made in it. “The criticism resonated with me on several different levels. “It’s still hard for me to talk about, to be totally honest,” she says. Pitt, rather than giving in to his critics, dug in his heels and thought, “Game on, f-ers.” But Gardner, 45, a thoughtful executive who had cut her teeth at Paramount during the Sherry Lansing regime before joining Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment in 2003, found the whole experience far more painful. One Wall Street analyst, Cowen and Co.’s Doug Creutz, had even predicted doom before the $170 million-to-$200 million zombie thriller opened, estimating it would take in a mere $85 million and calling it a “likely candidate for a big write-down.”
The negative reports about Z had been constant, including a Vanity Fair article that implied its producers didn’t know what they were doing. And how often does anyone get to do that at DC or Marvel? I'll stick to my independents, thank you very much.The three had worked together intimately for more than a decade, but they never had endured a year like this. There were elements here that I really liked - Thor creating Asgard in the middle of Oklahoma, then raising it to float a few feet in the air when authorities show up to tell him he can't build on land he doesn't own the tribal leader at a refugee camp politely but firmly telling the Norse gods to take their war mongering elsewhere.īut as much as I like the idea of these entire DC and Marvel universes that you can tap into anywhere and then just keep on exploring forever, in reality I think it's the universe creation that I really love. Though despite the fact that this is a reboot, I felt like I was missing MILES of backstory. It's true, the outfits are much more reasonable than most of the superhero comics I've been complaining about.
And Thor was the only character I actually liked in that Avengers book I read. But I saw this book recommended at my favorite bookstore the day I discovered Saga.
