Nah, you are not lazy I would to take the deal money and retired. MC? He is not doing this for money he is living his dream.

IP and Character are permanent but have value only when you treat them right. The moment you start to disrespect character and IP it dies. Because you destroy this character in people hearts and minds. It's enough just look at Start Wars and MARVEL right now.

He is 24 +50 years he will be 74. For person who live healthy life it's not critical age. Current US president is 79. So if MC wants to he can do business until he is 80 at least.

I agree but at the same time I don't. Because if oil Tycoon want to buy your land, then there is "black gold" under your land you just need to find it. Here? Situation is different, just because very smart person knows what to do with your assets and how use them properly that does not mean you can do the same. This deal guaranteed income and road for more. DC ? Is dark horse. One more thing it's Ross that came to negotiation table first because he left without legal options. In this situation he is weaker side on negotiation table.
