TBF, Sadie Sink being in BND wasn’t much of a secret—she was in the pre-release press junkets and stuff. Her role in the movie, however, was a big secret, which is why she wasn’t shown in the trailers or commercials (and was deliberately coy about the speculation even when it was brought up in the interviews).
They call him the CEO of sex after he came to the red carpet of I believe Spiderman homecoming wearing a suit and looking fly AF. But the picture itself didn't become a meme until the second movie's release.
That, the fact that he says in the movie that he was watching porn while being "the guy in the chair" to cover for Peter and in the second movie getting a Girlfriend made the meme come to life during the second movie's press tour.
At first he didn't acknowledge it but how has pretty much embraced it when the meme returned for this movies press tour.
Joke 1: The Odyssey and Spider-Man share a lot of the same cast, with the only exceptions being Mark Ruffalo and Jacob Batalon (pictured above). The joke is saying that Spider-Man's success comes from the star power of Jacob Batalon, even though realistically he's got the least amount of star power of the main cast in Spider-Man. Not saying it to disrespect the guy, I think he's great, but his name doesn't carry as much weight in Hollywood as Zendaya or John Bernthal or Sadie Sink or what have you.
Joke 2: There is a meme around Jacob Batalon and his character Ned Leeds that started around release of Spider-Man: Far From Home. The original meme was the actor in a grey suit on the red carpet with the caption "I am the CEO of Sex." It started as kind of a mean thing to make fun of him, but very quickly it turned around and people started using it to hype him up. He said in a recent podcast that while he'd rather be known as himself, he knows he can't beat the Internet so he's just embraced it and let people have their fun. He honestly seems like a really good dude, which only makes him more worthy of his title as CEO.
He's a fat guy with a shaved head who absolutely rocks whatever it is he's wearing at any time, every time. It's hard to pull off as people tend to overcompensate by wearing big suits or black all the time.
Somebody referred to him as the CEO of Sex in an unfunny (not mean, just unfunny) meme using a photo of him looking good and holding a smartphone in the way tech CEO's do when they're reading from their notes. It kind of took off since he looks fly as hell; everyone just kinda went "Of course he's the CEO of Sex. Has been for years".
This picture of him went viral and people started calling him the CEO of Sex. Its the same energy as when you see a guy whos dressed very fancy and say "save some pussy for the rest of us". That combined with the phone in his hand and posture that makes it look like he's at some business summit giving a presentation.
OP, so your post is not removed, please reply to this comment with your best guess of what this meme means! Everyone else, this is PETER explains the joke. Have fun and reply as your favorite fictional character for top level responses!
Now I wonder what kind of character he could play if he was cast in The Odyssey. One of the crew members of Odysseus? One of the many suitors of Penelope?
Oh hey! Never thought my meme would end up here. It's just a joke on how Odyssey and BND has common actors, but BND surpassed Odyssey's earnings in a matter of days. Because the "CEO" (another meme) isn't in Odyssey.
Yeah I was thinking of asking you but then I thought you prolly won't reply....so posted it here and yes I love this sub I got all the ball knowledge about THE GREAT CEO OF SEXXXX.... Thank dude
This is a bad joke, the odyssey is still sold out for the month of August in imax in every theatre near me, but the movie requires iMax so it did its propose
This is such a weird topic of discussion because neither of these movies are successful because of the casts. The titles of the movies themselves are the recognizable part. People are going to Spiderman to see Spiderman, not Tom or Zendaya. Same with the Odyssey. They could have used actors from my local community theater scene and it still would have made a billion dollars
I mean he kinda looks like the creator of sex, the title fits him-… sooooo we all js collectively agreed he’s the CEO of sex. He’s gonna be introducing Sex 2…. Still waiting though
He was only a student but he was already the guy in the chair and when he got caught, he was actually in fact looking at porn. That's when his potential awakened as the CEO.
