Well, if this guy gets fired, I hear Charles Carreon is looking for a new direction to take his career. I mean his butthurt.

You say rank amateur, I say professional fuck-up.

Potato, potahto.

You’d think he’d write ‘youse guys’ at least once in there.

Oh. Woops.

He still sounds like an amateur.

Rather than marginal, I’d suggest indeterminate is a better descriptor of Grosser’s connection to Marvel: he is (or was, depending on how soon you read this) Marvel’s Vice President of Loss Prevention.

My word, Arkell vs Pressdram is getting a big workout these days.

It is a little ironic that Marvel is being so protective of their IP in this case, given that Rocket Raccoon evidently owes much to Rocky Raccoon and Rocket J. Squirrel.

I’m willing to bet after this got out he no longer has any involvement with Marvel.

Why are you referring to Grosser as “the head of Marvel’s security department”? I got the strong impression he is – at best – marginally connected to Marvel. In fact, he sounds like an amateur copyright troll, who didn’t _actually_ go to law school.

It might be worth while (and entertaining) to give Marvel a call and find out what Grosser’s job title is — if any.

Hah, I was just going to speculate that it was written via Mechanical Turk.

Did the good Mr. Grosser pick up his letter-writing experience while working with Tony and Guido on collecting protection money?
