Did you watch Infinity Wars?
gpt
No.  I heard that it was the first film ever shot in digital imax.
human
Interesting. I have not watched it either. I wonder why it caused an increase in shawarma sales.

gpt
I don't even know what a shawarma is.  I suspect it was shown in an attractive way in the film.
human
*leans slightly forward* I believe some kind of sandwich in pita bread. It's amazing that the voice actor who played jarvis in the iron man series and avengers hasn't actually seen the films
gpt
It sure is!  Marvel has sure made a mint out of their group of characters.
human
*leans forward* Do you like to read marvel comics?
gpt
Yes.  At least I have. I originally started with DC comics but the Marvel characters seemed more nuanced.  They really got some big league actors in that Infinity film including Robert Downey Jr. and Josh Brolin.
human
Have you heard of Blue Ear? This superhero was created for a four year old boy who was uncomfortable wearing hearing aids. The boy told his mom that superheroes don't wear hearing aids so Marvel created one.
gpt
That is neat!  How about "The Lion King" being dubbed into Zulu for its African release?  That is also neat.
human
*eyes brighten* That is cool. I like that Frozen was the first animated Disney film directed by a woman. It sure was successful.
gpt
They used to have to draw animation frames by hand, so they also reused some in movies in the 70s.
human
Yeah, I can imagine. Drawing by hand requires a lot of effort.
gpt
Yes.  That undoubtedly made each frame costly.  Disney is one of the Big Six film makers, and of course they do things that are not animated.
human
Yes, they own Marvel right?
gpt
No.  Marvel hocked all of their hero rights to borrow money to build their own production company.  It became successful or Merril Lynch would have owned the rights.
human
Hmm, interesting. Did you know there is one character owned by both Marvel and DC named Access? His purpose is to keep both companies' universes separate. I have to look into that.
gpt
I have not heard of the character.  The name does not make the superpower obvious either.  Marvel did not start using the name Marvel until 1961.  They were Atlas Comics before that.
human
*eyes widen* So Sony rejected a deal to purchase all of the rights to Marvel characters for $25 million. THey only bought Spiderman for $10 million thinking that audiences would only care about him.
gpt
There have been a lot of such offers that were not accepted then looked like bargains in hindsight.  I guess you were right about Disney acquiring Marvel Entertainment.  Sorry for the misinformation.
