I find the moment Peter dives through the door both really funny and actually kinda smart too. From how it looked it seemed the door was barricaded shut, so he decided literally throwing his body straight through it would be faster than trying to open it lol

Peter jumping through the door, combined with James' narration and laugh, is absolutely the new best moment from any of the kill counts.

[@KitsuneYashaX48]

Yeah, funny and all, but it really does sound like the dude shouldn't have tried to be as hands-on as he was. I know that the guys putting money into things have some degree of control, but dudes need to realize when they don't know a darn thing about an industry and just say, "Look, I'll finance this thing, so make something good" and then back off, so I honestly can't blame the original cast and crew for having that reaction. Lee sounds like one of those bosses who has his position because daddy owns the company and so suddenly he gets to order you around despite you having worked your position for 20+ years and knowing what you're doing.
