    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.

      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.
