    First of all, never assume I'm not drunk,,,
    This makes sense now, to me it sounds like Marvel has nothing to worry about.,.
    Frivolous suit prob brought on by desperate dot-comers.

    Yeah that made sense Josh and thanks for bringing up those damn Red Sox !!!

    Nice photo!!

    Wow. I'm confused. And that sports analogy did NOT help.

    Could you put in the context of "Star Trek: The Next Generation"? Maybe I'd get it then.
  • TL_is_now_TJL · 10 months ago
    Okay, It would be like Picard suing Starfleet for...
    No wait, that's not it.
    My head still hurts.

    OK. Know how both Picard and Kirk were in Star Trek: Generations? Let's say Shatner wanted a royalty check for Star Trek: Nemesis (despite the fact that he isn't in it), BECAUSE he appeared with Patrick Stewart in Generations. Shatner would be claiming any success gleaned by Nemesis would be due in part to his character, who doesn't appear in the film. Does that make more sense?

    Okay, so someone over at Marvel could be losing a lot of money, right?

    Perhaps that is why we've heard so much about Marvel low-balling everyone they are in negotiations with. Man, I hope this ends up being thrown out of court, or settled for a small amount. If Marvel ends up paying a large sum in settlement, it could really hinder the development of the other films Marvel is planning like Avengers and Captain America. And that would suck. Basically all of their Iron Man money would be gone. That would suck donkey balls!

    Oh man. Im brain pooped after this one.

    I know I'm confused, and I know that someone is getting some money, somehow. That's a crazy story.

    I really hope Tmak209 is wrong, and all of Marvel's films go on as scheduled. I'm really looking forward to the Avengers!

    This article was in Yahoo news yesterday. The key here is if the presiding judge gives it (lawsuit) the green light. Then all the low ballin' Marvel has been dealing as of late will make sense. You don't want to go into court with a fat bottom line.
  • Josh_Radde · 10 months ago
    A bottom line as fat as Kevin Carr's!

    Nothings going to stop Marvels film schedule. What's so complicated?

    This is a bs lawsuit.


    Are you people on drugs? :)

    I've been trying to understand this situation by reading at least 4 different articles now.

    I still have no idea what is going on. Yours was the most helpful though.

    Ok.. so Stan Lee was attacked by a bear in Chicago after he received a ring to open the 7th portal.

    It wasn't that hard to figure out.
  • Sarah · 9 months ago
    Actually, that does help. Thanks, Josh! =^)

    Here's the summary- Much like Stan, Nomar- Has his ring, Has his money and the hot wife. Both will still be paid countless $$$ based on their previous success, not their current contributions. Meanwhile, the Cubs still suck...and I still love them all, well, except Nomar. He's the real bitch in this mess, I think my toe hurts today...

    THANK YOU Wes. Someone on this website understands sports.
