Part 5/10:
The Role of Writers Versus Artists
Interestingly, the discussion touches on the discrepancy between recognition of writers and artists. Matt Fraction, who penned the Hawkeye comic series that inspired the Disney+ show, is involved throughout the process and has publicly expected proper credit in the series. The Hosts note that writers often receive more visibility and direct payment, partly because their work is seen as more central to storytelling. Conversely, artists like Aja may be like silent partners—contributing significantly to a character’s look but not necessarily reaping the rewards when that look is turned into mass media.
