Who was in the wrong here?

"Marvel asked her to be in the second one,” Coon's husband Tracy Letts said on the podcast. “And she said, ‘Well, the first one is the most successful movie ever made. Are you going to pay me any more money?’ And they said, ‘No. We’re not going to pay you any more money.' She said, ‘Wow, you’re not going to pay me any more money, then I don’t think I’m going to do it.' And they said, ‘Well, you should feel yourself fortunate to be part of the Marvel Universe.’ So she declined. We would’ve made a bigger deal out of this, but it would have involved us watching the movies and we weren’t going to do that."

Still seething six years later

Sounds like she was.

Why not hire up and coming nobodies since the "Star power" comes from the characters and not the performers?

it would have involved us watching the movies and we weren’t going to do that

lol?

You can have some money or no money. People keeping picking "no money" like they think it's some kind of big brained negotiation tactic. Throw them off guard, war through deception technique. Then they get no money.

I'm not reading the article.
Was she just asking to be paid for a second appearance or was she asking to be paid more than her first appearance?

wow I can't believe they turned down Carrie Coon.

The later

Fucking Coon.

Oh then she's just a greedy cunt. Ninety-nine percent of her job was done by her makeup artist and she was easily replaceable.

no one knows who this is, what character it is, what the characters name was or what the actress name was. be thankful you had a job. the cgi team are only reason you exist.

you should feel yourself fortunate to be part of the Marvel Universe

‘Well, the first one is the most successful movie ever made. Are you going to pay me any more money?

Bitch think she's the star of the film or something, nobody payed to see her or her character

This thread finally answered the age old question, what does Anon Babble hate more, Disney or women?

the answer is women

Is she saying they weren't going to pay her at all for Endgame? Or is she saying they were going to pay her the same amount that she got in Infinity War?

Wanted more money for what would likely be less work

As expected from a Coon.

See

actress asks for more money to compensate for the shitty franchise she's in

Marvel says no

she leaves

MCUcks seethe

Americans seriously just do not get it. You don't understand what bargaining is. You think that the amount you get paid for labor is some kind of moral (religious?) decision.

I would have respected her if that had actually been her argumentation.

America has always been notoriously terrible at trading and bartering.

America had some actually badass trade unions that basically went to war with the feds. But that was decades ago.

Her character has less screen time in Endgame than in Infinity War, and no lines at all I think? It wouldn't make sense for her to be paid more.
Anyway she didn't like the deal they offered so they went their separate ways. I don't see what's there to moan about.

What? Did she genuinely expect to get paid more, playing a minor background character, with no lines when they already had a bloated case of large names and some of which only had one or two lines themselves? Lady was delusional and should have just taken the check.

Yeah, now all they do is monopolize voice acting roles for anime dubs

I'm mixed. I don't particularly care for the Black Order. Proxima Midnight (really Hickman?) wasn't really pulling her weight in narrative or visual impact. There was some thing with her and her husband-brother Corvus Glaive (Corvus being a Crow which is black and Glaive because he has a Glaive, you see) mirroring Wanda and Vision, a pair I despise so that whole setup just lost me. Then Corvus dies by being stabbed by his Glaive, spoilers by the way, and she insists she's going to kill them for that, even though she was going to kill them anyway, I guess she intends to kill them more specifically than she generally was before, but actually she was bluffing, about Corvus being dead that is not about killing them, maybe both it's not clear, also spoilers, anyway Corvus dies and she doesn't kill them for that either, she dies from a space lawnmower and Daddy Thanos has to clean up the mess she left, the Avengers and Wakandans that is not her gore he doesn't seem to bother with that. Which is funny because he laments the death of Ebony Maw (Ebony which is a black wood and Maws are mouths because he has a mouth you see) and Gamora (Just Gamora) but none of the other two or Cull Obsidian (Cull which shares the same root as collect and means to collect, which he doesn't do he actually loses an arm and then his life, and Obsidian which is a black stone, you see).

Now all that's more on the script than Carrie Coon who I apparently have seen in Gone Girl and Ghostbusters: Afterlife both of which she was possibly ok, I think.

All that is to say none of that is important, RDJ is playing Doctor Doom so half the budget and profits are gone and no one's getting any more money.

I don't know why she'd dye her hair blonde when the natural blue suited her so well.

This is like a bench player saying to a pro team “you made more money than you ever have so you’ll pay me more right?”

No bitch the starters get all the money that the owners don’t take home.

The Black Order are pretty irrelevant mob characters though. They are easily replaceable. Audience probably wouldnt notice the difference under all that makeup and prosthetics.

She really didn't have any leverage. She's a nothing character and if word got out they gave her more money it would open the door for everyone else.

Audiences wouldn't have noticed if she was even in the film

Why I haven't seen her in a coon's age.

Who the fuck even is this faggot?

If an up and comer was in a movie that was wildly successful and they wanted that person to come back for a second film and wouldn't pay the up and comer more money to return, then the up and comer should also refuse the role. Simple as.
Make the dickbags pay. There's no reason everyone but you should make more cash. You can bet the people on top had already negotiated a heavier cut.

Because "star power" isn't for the audience. It's because Hollywood is a complex network of rich bigwigs waving dicks at each other. Big name actors on movies are the equivalent of putting expensive trading cards on display. Chris Pratt keeps getting roles because other Hollywood people want the status of having worked on a Chris Pratt movie, not because they particularly need Chris Pratt.

That's also why celebrity voice acting in animated movies is a thing.

You have to have leverage in a negotiation. You do this by 1. Representing a worthwhile investment which will recoup cost and/or 2. Representing a loss that will effect future performance negatively.

You’re retarded if you think she met either requirement.

Lol yeah the largest economy in the world is totally incapable of negotiating.

right? I don't know why people consistently take the side of corpos. They have the budget and everyone knows they're going to be making gangbusters on a followup marvel film. It would be pretty retarded for an actor to NOT demand more money to reprise their role in an already successful film series. She was in the right. Demand more money or walk. More people need to do that.

Lol yeah the largest economy in the world is totally incapable of negotiating.

TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP

She is a nobody lol

See: If you don’t represent a viable investment or terrible loss paying you would amount to an unnecessary expense which would cut into profit.

Huh, interesting, I always wondered why the hell they needed Vin Diesel to voice Groot of all characters instead of hiring a random VA.

I don’t see what a recent development has to do with your statement.

Well I don't know who that is so Disney would be correct except they are subhuman gay child groomers so no one is correct

she doesn't seem to be upset about it. I think she did the right thing. They have the fucking budget. They pretty much have a guaranteed profit for this film. She asked for more money, they said no, she walked. Done.
Actors don't want to work on Marvel films for the prestige. They dumb movies where you jump around in a green room for awhile and occasionally utter a one liner with intensity. If you're not getting paid gangbusters, there's no fucking reason to do it.

'cause you're gay
TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP

Vin Diesel to be fair has a unique deep voice that works for Groot and The Iron Giant.

They have the fucking budget.

If you start paying some random nobody more money you’ll have to bump the pay of everyone above them.

You’re extremely childish if you fail to understand why someone who is replaceable isn’t in the position to ask for more money because of a success they played no part in.

you’ll have to bump the pay of everyone above them.

yes, that's how that works.

You’re extremely childish if you fail to understand why someone who is replaceable isn’t in the position to ask for more money

You're extremely stupid if you think that you shouldn't expect more than the scraps someone is giving you especially if losing the gig is immaterial. She doesn't seem to have been in the position where she desperately needed the work. She wanted more money to make it worth her while. She asked them if they'd pay her more, they said no, she walked. The way the story is told, it doesn't sound like she negotiated her way out of a job. It sounds like she turned down a gig when it wasn't worthwhile to her.
