For anyone who skimmed just the headline,

On our shows, we were dealing with the old Marvel television regime, which operated independently at Disney.

This isn't overly surprising, especially as Perlmutter was known for being incredibly thrifty and unwilling to spend any more than he deemed necessary. That ultimately played a big role in Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige asking Disney CEO Bob Iger to become a separate entity without the input of Perlmutter or Marvel Entertainment's Creative Committee.

Ike Perlmutter is the exact opposite of who you want in control. He'll sacrifice anything and everything in the name of profit, you know like a "good businessesman". I would challenge anyone to find a positive article about Perlmutter.

Perlmutter and Arad brought Marvel back from bankruptcy, so there’s that I guess.

The people who made a surprise money printing machine with Iron Man brought Marvel back from bankruptcy. Perlmutter did cocaine and hired Feige.
