It's amazing that Marvel was able to stay in business until Disney saved them. There's a long history of screwing over writers and artists and insane contracts that give away the farm. Stan Lee comes across as opportunistic and out of touch. Ditko and Kirby are portrayed as hapless victims. Liefield and Macfarlane as total douchebags (which I already suspected). Creators Chris Claremont, John Byrne, Frank Miller, Kurt Busiek, Jim Lee, receptionist Flo Steinberg, and sales director Carol Kalish seemed to be among the few likable people in the Marvel story.
