You can get away with that kind of stuff if you're a big enough star. Norton isn't.

He was in the early 2000s. And why are dinging him for doing a job the way marvel hired him to do it. Shouldn't we put the demerit on them? They obviously adjusted course by never letting a writer, actor, or director have an ounce of creative power in their universe again.

He has this reputation because of his miserable experience on The Italian Job and The Incredible Hulk, and for helping the studio "fix" American History X (which is something he was asked to do; he did not take it over). You never hear of any issues he had working with great directors like Wes Anderson, Spike Lee, Woody Allen, or Milos Forman. Or non-great directors like Inarritu, Gavin O'Connor, John Dahl, Danny damn DeVito, or John Curran. A few of these guys keep asking him back.
