Many people are ignoring another part of the formula. Actors draw views. Renner is the main interest I have in Hawkeye. Kate Bishop is a fine character, but personally Renner is why I watched season 1. Charlie Cox and Vincent D’nofrio are the reason I watched the new Daredevil series.
Renner might be blowing it out of proportion, but the reality is without his involvement I’m probably going to skip it.
I’ll give each character a chance to stand on their own but I’m not personally interested in Kate Bishop as a story driver.
I get that his name draws views but I don’t think that’s a factor going from S1 to S2. It’s not like he went from nobody to somebody. He was already popular prior to S1, he didn’t get more popular between seasons. His S1 salary probably already accounted for his popularity so it was most likely also accounted in the S2 salary. But, if he thinks he should’ve been paid more because of his name recognition then that’s him pretty much trying to do the same thing he’s blaming the accountants for, he would be trying to squeeze out every penny from his popularity.
So in your estimation, you don’t think he should be upset that Disney, one of the biggest organizations in the world, is refusing to pay him what he believes is value to be?
Kinda? He’s free to ask whatever price the believes he is worth, I don’t have an issue with that. But just like he’s free to ask whatever price he thinks is fair it’s also fair for the other side to just say “No, thanks”. No reason to be upset about it. Or do you think I should side with someone in the top 1% simply because one of the biggest corporations in the world told them no? It’s someone with “set for life” money complaining that the corporation with essentially infinite funds didn’t want to give him as much money as he demanded. I think siding with either side (based on the information we know so far) is stupid.
