Careercow Mark Waid / William Mark Waid - Comics legend turned laughingstock, SJW lunatic, Dislikes Asians, Sued for Tortious Interference, King Baby, “The Strong Protect The Weak”

[FH 721]

I finally got around to read Irredeemable and it's telling to see how Mark Waid has sort of become like the Plutonian himself.

Once an extremely beloved, pristine hero that out of the blue and for very petty reasons turned into a violent sociopathic villain that kept blaming everyone but himself for his actions. And once you dig in his character and past you realize he's always had those violent, emotionally unstable tendencies in him and was just keeping them bottled in until they bursted out.

But hell, even by the last issues of that series the Plutonian gained a bit of remorse and self-acknowledgement of his actions and the monster he had become, Waid will keep thinking he's the good guy and victim to his dying day.

It took Zack a day to get past Waid who had 4 days and a lot more shares.

It's nice to have things quantified in a concrete manner. We can now see that 1 real customer click is worth more than 20 sjw clicks on the same social media website. What pitiful a CPA considering how many cuckbucks come from clickbait. Advertisers are looking like the real cucks here.

Member how Nicholas Cage is now in literally anything cause of taxes? I'm betting Waid is going to be signing literally anything to pay his two lawyers cause of similar stuff.

That depends on if anyone is even willing to offer him work once this over. in some aspects, but the fact that his behavior has now officially landed him in a legal quagmire might make him look like too much of a liability and loose cannon to comic companies.

If he's kept on a short leash and is given very little liberty with his social media accounts by those hiring him, then it's a possibility.

I waited more than a week to see if he donated but nope. I guess when there's no agenda, no one cares enough to donate even $1.

I don't mean to make light of her condition(s) but as I was reading her GoFundMe pitch this old episode of SpongeBob SquarePants came to mind immediately.

You too? Thank god, I wasn't the only one.

I mean Waid basically admitted he would be broke without his GFM so lol. Not that I expect that to be actually broke, more "I might need to sell off some of this room full of toys" broke.

No way is he broke. He's apparently getting residuals from at least one of the big superhero movies using a comics line he wrote. I'm sure it's a tiny flyspeck in the grand scheme of things, but 0.00000000001% of Marvel movie money is probably still enough to commit barratry at one's leisure.

What Marvel movie money? Marvel Studios is a separate company from Marvel Entertainment, though both are owned by Disney, and Waid has no connections to Studios that I'm aware of. People assume that but nah, those aren't the same "Marvel" and haven't been since 2015.

Is he getting money from them?

I think I was wrong and it's DC, not Marvel. The "Man of Steel" movie used a line of his or something - I can't find the reference at the moment though. Point being, he's been writing comics for a billion years and I'm sure he's got at least a few more lines of passive income from stuff like this.

EDIT: looks like I was completely wrong, more or less. Waid explains some of his finances here
http://thrillbent.com/blog/how-dc-contracts-work/
Nothing for "Man of Steel" (though the residuals policy has varied over time), a pittance here and there for other things.

I'm not donating a cent to her

That's the best part. I had to go through the (23 at the time) donors to make sure, because surely he wouldn't be so shameless, but nope, not even $10 from Mark. This really sums these social media types up perfectly, tell people to do something you wouldn't do yourself. "Doing X is the most important thing, we all need to do this. Oh, me? My work is done by telling you, using my massive social media influence will surely motivate hundreds of people, so any further participation from me is not needed." Lead by example, fuckers. Why would anyone donate to your "dear friend", who is a total stranger to them if even you don't care enough to?

This reminds me, have Marky Mark's SJW supporters ever read the masterpiece he accidentally crapped out? The "homophobia", "transphobia" and "slut-shaming" would nuke their brains.

One of the secondary characters is a powerful but dumb and cheating bimbo. An ugly effeminate gay supervillain who has the hots for the main (male) character kills her, takes over her body, and rapes him. She is not mourned.

Lead by example, fuckers. Why would anyone donate to your "dear friend", who is a total stranger to them if even you don't care enough to?

I don't have a problem with this. Since he's still e-begging for his own legal defense, he actually doesn't have a moral right to spend any money frivolously. All of it is spoken for, even his own earnings, because he's still asking for more. Once he closes the GFM (haha), only then he can 1) suggest a worthy cause to redirect any leftover donor money to and 2) spend his own money on other e-beggars / legit charities / toys / hookers / blow / etc.

He's not homeless and nobody expects him to cancel his Netflix account or live like a monk just because he has a GFM going on. Mark Waid can part with $10 or so to mobilize people to donate to a "friend in need", he just doesn't want to. I would probably be more lenient if this wasn't the guy who loves writing long screeds about how "the strong have to protect the weak" and such but consistently fails to put his money where his mouth is.

I like some of the art CG has been making, the first two from bettybrighteye twitter handle are great.

He'd only get paid if they used a character or story he was involved him, no matter how minor. I remember Jim Starlin said that while the comics division's lunacy caused him to resign again this year, Marvel Studios was a lot nicer to him.

Also, Waid just got hired by Humanoids last month as Director of Creative Development so he's not exactly going to be hurting for money.

Being a fucking white male, Mark Waid is inevitably on the chopping block no matter how much woke bullshit he spews or how hard he takes it up the ass from Meyer in court. Eventually, he'll fall prey to the SJW cannibalism, and we'll be here laughing as he's eaten alive.

I would probably be more lenient if this wasn't the guy who loves writing long screeds about how "the strong have to protect the weak" and such but consistently fails to put his money where his mouth is.

It kinda depends on the contract honestly. Sometimes writers will draft up a contract that allows them to hold onto the rights of any characters they create, though more often than not there's a "Marvel owns any ideas you come up with" clause that means they get nothing if their characters or stories make it to the silver screen or other avenues. Or in some cases writers did have such contracts but ended up needing to sell the rights back to Marvel during hard times - I think this is what happened with the creator of Rogue, but don't quote me on that.

It's certainly possible Waid has such a contract somewhere out there that gives him such residuals, but I would say he probably gets more from his TV work. Seems to be the avenue a lot of these comic asswipes are trying to weasel into.

Ok, so Ethan Van Sciver has leaked a small bit of his private correspondence with this thread's lolcow, and.. this is a Chris Chan-tier chimp out, Rekieta's reply also killed my sides:

Unless you're a big name, you sign what they put in front of you or fuck off. Of course, Waid actually has been a big name.
