But seriously, the corruption isn't just limited to movies...

Bill Finger has only recently been recognized for his contributions to Batman.

Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster got screwed by DC, getting only $130 in 1938 for the intellectual property rights to Superman.

Don't get me started on how the good folks at Marvel compensated a guy named Jack Kirby back in the day. And I mentioned in another thread how one of my former favorite comic writers, who has done stuff for DC and Marvel, was awful in person, and he was part of that recent conspiracy to dox Diversity in Comics. I haven't burned any of the books I have that he's written, however.

Steve Ditko (co-creator of Spider-Man) adheres to the "Objectivist" philosophy of Ayn Rand, who some people find abhorrent.

Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek, was something of a womanizer. Majel Barrett and Nichelle Nichols were both involved with him at some point.

If you think about it long enough, there's something seedy about everything you probably like. I'm going to see Justice League for the same reason I can still stand Affleck in Daredevil--I like the characters and what they stand for, which transcends the foibles of the people involved.
