Not when your primary work is irregular and you basically have to live and breath the work for the many months you are attached to it. Basically every waking hour you are on the clock, which makes the hourly rate pretty low.
Deadpool made almost a billion dollars. I’m guessing most people haven’t spent 2 years being the person to make something that big and relevant and also got paid less than .03 percent of its revenue…
It turns out that most Lemmyites are actually pretty wealthy, and hate having that fact pointed out, hence your downvotes. You’re totally right, though.

How??? He directed a movie for the biggest box office franchise in cinema history - a movie that went on to earn $782 million in the box office alone.
He earned $225,000 in two years of directing. That’s nothing.

It’s about ten times what I used to make in one year.
Also, he had the chance to negotiate a contract. If he didn’t either stand for more up front, or take points on the back end, that’s on him.
So your salary is shit, but that doesn’t mean the director’s is amazing.

Why didnt you negotiate for a better wage?
What kind of suggestion is this?
“You don’t earn a shitton of money? Well, why don’t you just ask for more?”
Well shit, why didn’t I think about that.
Did. That was the better wage.
That’s what I get for sticking with a job nobody else wants to do, wiping the asses of the elderly, disabled, and dying.
There’s plenty of directors available to direct MCU movies. There’s only one company making them. Not much leverage.
Very true.
The point of doing it wasn’t the direct payment, and I’m pretty sure he said so back a few years ago.
But, if he wasn’t okay with it, that’s on him.

No one said they’re the only person to make a movie, but they literally decide how the movie will turn out, both large-scale and in the details.

Relatively it’s not a lot 200k over two years is not that great in terms of Hollywood level
