Thank god that Rothman has gone, he was the dumbass who was pushing PG13 films and the reason why we got a PG13 Die Hrad and why Prometheus was rumoured to be PG13 up until the very end (and it is PG13 really when you watch it).
Add to that why the original script for daredevil got dumbed to a PG-13, why the third X-Men movie was terrible [his hatred of Giant Robots so no Sentinels [which was the only scene people cheered in that movie], Not waiting for contract to open up so you get lame off screen deaths, and offering Bryan Singer a wage reduction after the success of X-Men 2]. He is the reason Kingdom of Heaven was hacked apart for the Theatre release because he felt that a modern audience wouldn't want a 3 hour movie [most likely it was to get more screening daily]. This is just a small list.
You can read up on his handling of the first X-men film...He felt it was below him. He hacked the budget, movies the release day from November to May. He tried to make it a failure. It backfired to say the least.
I for one am glad to see him go. Though, the replacement might be no better. It is Fox.
Add to that:
Galactus as a f**king GIANT CLOUD was his idea. This is a rumour, but with his hate of giant robots it makes sense. And if you think about it, maybe this is part of the reason that the Engineer was made smaller. He hates giants.
There is a rumour he shot down "Alien 5" with Scott and Cameron because they had an "AvP" script he was happy with.
Back to Fantastic Four, he ok'd a comedy director for it and then complained the tone of the movie was wrong. Of course it was you hired the wrong f**king guy. He also cut the budget and rushed production of it.
