The guy was an actual businessman. He did everything right. Got the books out on time. Brought huge profits to the company. Marvel was hitting the big time. Creative types didnt like him because he was an actual professional who ran things like an actual business. These hippy dippy dudes probably saw him as THE MAN and treated him as their enemy. Didn't want to actually play ball and act like proper professionals. Just whine and complain that they had to actually work as proper grown ass adults. They're still like this even to do this day. People give him shit because he hurt some pussy wussy's feelings. fuck em. It's a business and like all businesses, theres a bottomline. Either get that or fuck off.

i agree, the man knew what he wanted and it delivered, sucks that now are many entitled people working in the industry
He looks like a mob boss
He ran a tight ship and actually did his job. Unlike current comic editors.
he was a great continuity hawk. Nowadays its a wreck.
>Jim Shooter
Pathetic
Jim Shooter was good at his job but he looks very sinister. Like the G-Man from Half-Life.
Jim Shooter was a boy from Pittsburgh who ran the company
Anybody has the pasta about Shooter being a KGB agent with the picture of of him posing with a terrified Steve Englehart?
I found the image. Look at those hands they're made for strangling
And none of it matters because he's a creepy ultra nerd and has cookie dough skin. If Jim Shooter was a 7/10 no one would bat an eye, women would be glad to take his orders, men would submit to his whims and comics would be saved.
reminder that he was raped in the shower
kek.
One thing that makes Zig Forums better than most places that discuss comic books is that it's pretty universally agreed upon on here that Shooter did nothing wrong.
Come back soon, Jim ;_;
creative didn't dislike him
they just didn't give a fuck
Shooter though they were his friends because he saw himself as a comic artist. Nothing he did for them was recognized.
They are dropping him en masse when tabloids started all the creator rights bullshit.
the only people who got triggered at him was a religious nutjob and the undiagnosed sperg byrne
agree mostly. i mean some of his attitudes seem a touch conservative i guess. but it really does seem like the company fell into decline almost immediately after he left
he had Gruenwald on board to take care of that
How can one man be so unfathomably based?
lol i had never heard of this until now. where did you find this
Saved it from Zig Forums
Fucking kek
What a Chad.
didn't he also help creators get much better royalties?
He did well, but goddanm do I get tired of reading about everyone’s powers and backstory every issue.
Sounds like he did some good stuff, just took some risks that didn't pan out.
I read his blog reviewing comics and he seems like a chill guy. Probably a lot nicer than he looks.
>in some alternate reality
>child is the son of Jim Shooter and Karen Berger
>taught editorial and writing skills by Janeatte Khan
>put in charge of SJW Marvel
could this madlad be able to save current comics?
Literally we owe transformers as it is to this guy.
We've seen what happens when there's no Jim Shooter, and it's not pretty. Comics need artists to produce the comics, but they need businessmen to keep shit running smoothly and efficiently.
Artists are an undisciplined, wide-eyed idealist lot with more creativity than common sense and need a leader to make them do their work on time.
Their perfect story, perfect page, perfect linework will never exist even if they had 1000 years to finish each one. Fuck artists, they need to be reigned in.
