On 8? He was the executive producer.
Admittedly, I’ve never actually known what an executive producer does.
I think they are supposed to represent the money but that usually gives them more power than they are supposed to have.
For instance, quite famously in The Matrix executive meddling is the reason that humans are batteries and not augmentations to the machine’s computing power. Which is why there are some things that don’t make quite as much sense until you realize that everybody still in the matrix is supposed to be having most of their brain power used elsewhere.
With this context, your initial comment now makes complete sense to me. Thanks for explaining.
