Recently, the creator of Deadpool Rob Liefeld surprised fans around the world when he said that he would never work with Marvel again after an alleged incident with Kevin Feige. Liefeld said he was snubbed by the other man during the Deadpool and Wolverine First before making a rather explosive statement: “Kevin Feige does not treat comics creators well.” The MCU Fandom was shocked, but they should not have been because Feige also snubbed the creators of Winter Soldiers Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting.
Rob Liefeld And Kevin Feige
All this started when the creator of Deadpool went to attend the first of Deadpool and Wolverine. According to Rob Liefeld, Kevin Feige did not recognize him on the red carpet and this snob “was supposed to embarrass, decrease, beat me.” Liefeld also made other allegations, especially as he and his family were denied the entrance to the after the film and the photos of him and the Deadpool and Wolverine The creative team was then deleted.
Due to all this, Rob Liefeld came to the decision to break all links with Kevin Feige and Wonder. “At one point, you go”, I received the message, and the message is clear “, he said, which implies that Marvel no longer wants him. New fans of MCU Could find these allegations downright shocking, but if you are old enough to remember how Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting have been treated by Marvel Bigwigs, you will not be so surprised.
The winter soldier debacle
An important context here is that Brubaker is responsible for creating the character of the winter soldier with Steve Epting. Together, these two transformed the classic companion of Captain America Bucky Barnes into a Soviet assassin in a brain washing with a robotic arm. He continued to be a title character in Captain America: The Winter Soldier And the creators of the character introduced themselves, in tuxedos, to attend the first party of this film.
Brubaker, it seems, had a similar experience in Rob Liefeld and was seriously snubbed by the company of Kevin Feige. According to testimonies, Brubaker and Epting were refused when they tried to attend the first part. The only reason they had access is that Brubaker called Sebastian StanWho then made sure that they were allowed to participate in the party.
The story of what happened to Brubaker and Epting is remarkably Similar to Rob Liefel’s misfortune tales concerning Kevin Feige and other executive powers. Like Brubaker, Liefeld is the co-creator of an incredibly popular Marvel character, dead PoolWhat you might think deserves certain courtesies such as an invitation to after-party. However, Liefeld maintains that he was snubbed, which seems particularly odious since Dead Pool & Wolverine Drew the MCU from an apparent death spiral.
Marvel vs. Creators
At this stage, it seems that nothing will reverses Rob Liefel’s decision to move away from Marvel, including Kevin Feige. But we cannot prevent ourselves from encouraging the efforts of the creator of Deadpool to highlight the way in which the creative comics are treated by executives who continue to win millions and millions of dollars of their characters. Liefeld is known for his inability to draw the feet. Fortunately, the legendary creator firmly planted his own feet in the ground by resisting the attempts of a mega-company to hurt him.
And when it comes to calling frames who richly deserve to be reduced to the waist, we can only hope that Rob Liefeld gives a “maximum effort” to his subsequent criticisms of Kevin Feige.
