actually there is some weird little fund that is supposed to track bitcoin, GBTC, but it trades at a massive premium to NAV and is hard-to-borrow (though don't quite me on that last part, I can't check at the moment)

some poor analyst from Needman has to cover that fund. I'm undecided if that would be the best or worst assignment.

I know the cool kids hate the ivory tower but Derrida might be of interest to you if you haven't already encountered him bc he's all about the instability of texts and uses the Bible as an example sometimes because, like, you point to something in the Bible (or any text) and say "there, that's the meaning!" and a million contradictions fly in your face like hot dogs. The text is a moving target.

I dunno, ur smart.

Derrida was such an rear end in a top hat and I love him so much for it.

They have video game rights. It's just that the head guy at Marvel is a poo poo head who doesn't want to give free advertising to Fox movies by doing anything with the X-Men or the Fantastic Four.

They haven't bought back any movie IP stuff, as far as I know. Spider-Man is a license deal, Fantastic Four (despite being a flop) is still owned by Fox and they are even pursuing making a new kid friendly F4 movie, and X-Men is too popular and profitable for Fox to let go.

Also, I may be wrong but I believe Marvel can use X-Men in video games (just not movies) but have been minimizing the inclusion of the Fantastic Four and X-Men in stuff specifically because they aren't in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They don't want to give free advertising to a Fox line of movies.

I was never actually in a Goon organization in EVE, though if I ever started playing again I'd probably join. This really ages me now but I was in Xetic and ASCN (holy poo poo that was a long time ago), and then never got back into 0.0 stuff really.

They regained a lot of movie rights, Blade, Punisher, Daredevil, etc. I think that's just from the other companies letting those deal expire, but if you told me they were encouraged to let those deals expire by a bag of cash from Marvel, I'd believe it

Oh yeah, you're right. Though I'm not sure if money changed hands. A filmed Daredevil was viewed as a dead property prior to the Netflix series, I believe.

Still, I don't think Marvel ever lost the rights to these properties in non-movies. They could put them in video games.

let me tell you a story about the guy in question. theres only two photos of him in existence and one of them also has trump in it. he attends all the movie premieres in a grouch marx mask. he genuinely hates fox and or reed richards - hes so mad that he ordered all FF art at marvel hq taken off the walls

also marvel coproduced legion and it was a success and now xmen are allowed in games again

EVE's a great game, it's just CCP has let its features stagnate for years with nothing new. In all honesty, the Incarna bullshit, as bad as it was, was probably a good step for EVE because adding walking in stations content and gameplay would've livened things up. Microtransactions for gameplay things was the wrong move though.

yeh just movie rights. during one of marvel's bankruptcies they just dumped the movie rights for a quick buck. the only reason they kept the rights to avengers characters like iron man and fabio and mr america is they were seen as worthless characters noone would want to see a movie about

theyre desperate to renegotiate the fantastic four deal cos one of marvel's greatest villains is trapped there, a guaranteed massive boxoffice draw...
