So this might you might find this disturbing did you know that the the number one venom was a created by a fan and that marvel paid that fan to $120 for the rights to the idea that guy is probably bummed out his name is Randy Schuyler and I imagine he is Can't say could you imagine selling an idea for $220 and watching them make feature-length movies that make millions of dollars years later I would be pretty sad about that so just an interesting marvel fact for today
I don't really pay attention to most of like marvel stuff but actually this is super interesting and like super crazy to hear about if I want to look into this more
Yeah I kind of feel the same way like I would hope that I feel like marble should do something for the guys family like I wanna give me put the kids to college put something in the trust form I don't know something
That is terrible. That is terrible. I bet if the guy knew he wouldn't have accepted at 220. He should have held out for a bit more but damn. And I bet when he bought it he didn't know it was gonna do well. Oh my-
I wonder if Marvel would've even took the deal though if he wanted more than that you know what I mean like if you're a fan you probably don't have a lot of confidence in your creation you're like on here maybe not maybe it's probably not worth that much let's just give
You know, the thing is, the guy might have just drew it on a piece of paper. I drew characters for free. So I'm sure that $220 was like, oh, of course I'll buy that. Of course I'll sell that.
Yeah, let's just get something for it. I understand what you're saying. You've got a good point. And if we think about it as well, he just wrote a story. No one knew it was gonna do well when turned into a movie. and I bet they buy thousands of stories to figure out what would work.
Yeah you're so right. My baby brother used to draw cartoons and make up stories on the back of you know books and magazines and whatnot. So yeah, you're most rightly right. You'll probably be happy with that amount at that time because, you know, he's just doing it anyway.
Wait what do you mean like what do you mean venom was purchased from my family I haven't even seen the second venom to be completely honest was that movie any good let me know
That's wild it's almost like Carole Davidson she created the Nike logo and she was only paid $35 I'm pretty sure now Maggie took care of her but even then you see this company grow make billions of dollars and for somebody
Yeah, that's wild about the Nike because I just watched that movie Air and like if a $35 I mean because when you look at the logo that's nothing it's like come on do I that's nothing $35 is good money for that
