Does the Avengers get paid? The issue of
was discussed for the first time, it should be after the launch of the 8th episode of " Wanda Vision " early last year.
bought a homestead for Wanda in advance because the plot mentioned Vision at the time.
And Vision as an Avenger, where does his funding come from?
The mainstream saying at the time was " Tony Stark pays everyone ".
It's embarrassing that the Avengers don't even get paid.
In episode 1 of Marvel's " The Falcon and the Winter Soldier ", when Falcon went to the bank for a loan, the bank clerk asked this question explicitly ( seems to be asking for Marvel fans).
Listen to Falcon's meaning, the Avengers' income is very random, roughly from donations from certain charities, and there may also be a small amount of official project funding. After
knew about this situation, the feeling of superheroes to everyone is: to generate electricity for love.
having no salary doesn't mean the Avengers don't have any income, it means they don't have a regular source of income.
What are the reasonable sources of income for the Avengers?
may have given an answer in the fifth episode of the Marvel series " She-Hulk " released a few days ago.
While Nikki and her male colleagues were looking for a superhero costume designer, they stumbled across a hidden shop specializing in pirated Avengers merchandise...
This pirated store has a wide variety of hot merchandise: T-shirts , mugs, hats and more. The pirated peripherals displayed in the
"Hulk" series are very similar to various IP pirated peripherals in reality.
Well, why pirate it? Why are you so low-key to keep your store hidden?
is the same as in real life, of course " involves infringement "!
has infringement, which means that the Avengers have already applied for various trademarks, and it also shows that these trademarks have long been used for authorization of various genuine peripherals.
has the authorization, there is the benefit. Let's not say anything else about
, let's just say that we are authorized by Disney in reality, but there are quite detailed categories. Each category of
has a different licensing fee, and in addition to the licensing fee, it is said that it has to be shared with the final revenue of the surrounding.
Generally speaking, a serious license can range from hundreds of thousands to millions ( listened to a friend who is around before talking about it, and it is not true ).
This is also the reason why there are so many piracy...
Because most of the merchants are doing small businesses, they really can't afford the license fee.
Going back to the "She-Hulk" plot, the superhero team centered on the original Avengers is indeed gone.
However, the Avengers should always be managed by someone.
In the third episode of "The Hulk", a media reporter asked the Hulk: Is it true that the Avengers refused you to join?
shows that in the cognition of the MCU general public, the Avengers has always been an objective organization, which has nothing to do with the departure of the original Avengers.
In the D23 conference a few days ago, when Kevin Feige promoted "Captain America 4", he once said " a world without the Avengers ".
was interpreted by many media out of context as " Avengers disbanded and no longer exists".
Kevin Feige meant at that time that the original Avengers were gone, this was an open plot, not that the Avengers didn't exist anymore.
In fact, whether in Marvel movies or Marvel comics, with the "Sokovia Agreement" during the "Civil War" period as a turning point, there are special government agencies to manage or supervise the Avengers.
In addition, the Avengers is more of a spiritual meaning.
Returning to the title of this article, the Avengers-related trademark licensing itself generates some revenue streams.
such as genuine peripherals, superhero exhibition activities displayed by "Ms. Marvel".
However, this income seems insignificant for an organization and cannot support the fixed salary expenses of the Avengers.
