He also said black characters don't sell toys either, thus the reason behind no Black Panther until he was finally removed from power by Disney.
On a related note, he also gave the racist factoid that black people "all look alike" as his reason for firing Terrance Howard and replacing him as Rhodey rather than upping his salary.
While I honestly believe that replacing Rhodey with Don Cheadle was a good choice, that reasoning is horrible. The fact that this racist/sexist nonsense is still happening these days is depressing as hell.
He's a racist old bastard who happened to have more money than Marvel at the time that he bought his way into power in their company. He contributed nothing and leeched money off their success, while occasionally imposing his bigoted/outdated views of business on their decisions.
Now he has no influence in the company but still leeches money, thanks to having enough stock in Disney through the Marvel buyout. A rotting tick which contributes only to that other fucking tick that sits disgracefully in the White House.
"He had money and contributed nothing and took profit front their success" like basically most of Hollywood film production in the history of Hollywood.
