People are always surprised to learn how little creators actually own in comics, games, etc. Big corporate brands are usually built on a work-for-hire model, meaning creators get paid once and then the *company* owns their ideas forever. This is why independent/creator-owned work is so important.
Miles Morales co-creator Sara Pichelli says she does not get any royalties from the ‘Spider-Verse’ films, Insomniac games, or merch

It’s not just comics, it’s games/animation too. 90% of the time you either accept the contract or you don’t work, simple as that.
I know it’s hard to understand tho for people not (yet) in the industry, I run into this sentiment all the time with students too. That’s why it’s important to talk about

I'm seeing a lot of the same take of "you should have negotiated a better contract" and people need to understand that most don't have the option.
Marvel/Disney would just hire someone else they can underpay and exploit instead. That's how they operate...

But I think you are right about people not wanting to think about it too. They don't want to hear that the creator of a character in their "favorite IP" died too young or couldn't afford to pay for cancer treatments because they don't get a fair cut. It "ruins THEIR day"

[OLD Art] Drew this for a friend a year ago, the rendering still makes me go "What, I drew this?!?" because I haven't done anything like this since 😭
I should try drawing more armor sometime (I want to paint like this again!)
