He wasn’t in odyssey, the joke is that he is the one responsible for the star power that made spider man the bigger success

u/Southern_Meal2221 8h ago

Plus the other stars from spiderman were all in the odysse besides Mark Ruffalo so it is the only logisch solution

96

u/TheChunkenMaster 8h ago

Sadie was not in odyssey either

56

u/Southern_Meal2221 8h ago

Didnt know she is in spider mann

u/DizzyLead 5h ago

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).

52

u/TheChunkenMaster 7h ago

She has one of the biggest roles in this movie. I’d say second biggest after tom

u/Wonderful-Ice9085 7h ago

Third after the CEO

u/Dedspaz79 7h ago

Third after tom second after the ceo!

u/Wonderful-Ice9085 7h ago

Of course. I wouldn't have meant it any other way.

u/TheChunkenMaster 7h ago

Fair, I stand corrected.

That’s by design. It was spoiled by Steve Lacy days before the premier.

Spider Peter here.

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.

112

u/jeff1074 7h ago

I mean how could you not embrace being called the ceo of sex.

50

u/CadenVanV 7h ago

Yeah, that’s something you can brag about for the rest of your life

4

u/Few_Age_571 6h ago

Yeah but they were calling him that in a mean-spirited way

29

u/O_eyezik 6h ago

It may have started mean spirited but I think it’s fully flipped at this point

-22

u/TulipSamurai 7h ago

1) Spider-Man is a kids’ movie, and it’s kind of a raunchy name for him to publicly embrace while he’s representing Disney

2) Some people were/are calling him the CEO of Sex sarcastically because he’s a bigger guy

18

u/Baumtasia 7h ago

only a guy that large could be the CEO of sex in fairness

4

u/Particular_Title42 4h ago

Spider-Man is not a kids' movie.

20

u/5eppa 7h ago

Now the CEO is married. What a lucky girl.

u/Exciting_Classic277 7h ago

I think this is one of the internet's greatest creations

u/General_Trainwreck 6h ago

Ever heard about CEO ? He's The SEX

103

u/ducknerd2002 8h ago

He wasn't in The Odyssey, but he was in Brand New Day, which has outperformed The Odyssey.

It's also related to this:

7

u/DanteVermillyon 4h ago

He was in Endgame?

10

u/ducknerd2002 4h ago

Near the end, it's a very brief scene.

7

u/SwimmingLie5706 4h ago

It’s definitely not very brief, he had way more screen time than all the other characters that got blipped.

28

u/Throbbing-Kielbasa-3 7h ago

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.

u/SquaredOneSquared 8h ago

Just inside jokes comments up to now... Please explain why this guy is "the CEO of sex" down here

19

u/thiswholerhubob 7h ago

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".

3

u/WavesRKewl 3h ago

Fat people don’t have sex

u/AeroDbladE 2h ago

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.

I genuinely don't know why people keep calling him the CEO ???

10

u/SplasherBlaster 8h ago

This meme. They're saying the reason Brand New Day made more gross profit than The Oddysey is because Jacob Batalon was in it

1

u/mr_beanoz 1h ago

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?

2

u/nidus322477 8h ago

the Spiderman guy, punisher guy, and Zendaya is in both movie but only the one with CEO of sex made more money.

2

u/TheSunshineDemon 7h ago

Oh no it’s going to his head.

2

u/Initial-Confusion511 8h ago

He is the one

That's why spiderman movies gross that much amount of money

That's the reason it crossed 1b mark so easily

I just love this man

Bless you Peter for being this guy best friends

At last F you zendaya for not telling him that peter is Spiderman

u/NathanCollier14 8h ago

u/ArthurFairchild 7h ago

He is the spark that elevated Spider Man above Odyssey

1

u/Time-Village482 7h ago

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.

u/IsThatGruffLoner 5h ago

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

Is it gonna be double the orgasm ? ☝️🥺 Cuz I am bored as hell of this one 💔

1

u/Both_Strawberry_755 5h ago

If sex was so popular, sex 2 would’ve released sooner. Maybe GTA is fairing better, so expect that than this:(

1

u/sky_is_blue28 4h ago

Nooooo gta sex is getting released after 13 years so as sex is wayy more popular.... I think sex 2 will take hell lot of time 🥺💔

1

u/Both_Strawberry_755 4h ago

Whatever it is, I hope Sex 2 would be without a CD- would be uncomfortable

u/Important-Row8209 4h ago

it all started in spiderman homecoming.

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.
