TOM BREVOORT CONFIRMA LA FALTA DE INTERÉS DE MARVEL POR LAS FRANQUICIAS CUYOS DERECHOS OSTENTA FOX

En respuesta a un lector que le preguntaba por la ausencia de más proyecto en torno a los X-Men, respondió:

You’re talking about issues involving licensing and animation, and those are questions you’d need to ask to our people that oversee those areas.

I will say two things, though, both of which are pretty self-evident, I think.

1) There are only so many hours in the day, and so many initiatives you can have going at once,. So you need to pick and choose where you want to spend your time and your efforts.

2) If you had two things, and on one you earned 100% of the revenues from the efforts that you put into making it, and the other you earned a much smaller percentage for the same amount of time and effort, you’d be more likely to concentrate more heavily on the first, wouldn’t you?

Como aclaran en Bleeding Cool, todo se debe a que los contratos con Fox, firmados durante la bancarrota de Marvel, que les conceden una parte mínima de todo el merchandising que rodea esos proyectos. Así que no los desarrollan.

Uno de tantos aspectos de los negocios en torno a los cómics de los que los lectores ni nos enteramos.
