Does anyone think that credit would exist without Joe Simon's (successful) lawsuits against the company?
Me! Me! I do! I do!

Because the Spider-Man movies carried a credit for Steve Ditko (who has never sued Marvel and has been very vocal about not suing Marvel).

Because the Fantastic Four movie carried a credit for Jack Kirby (whose estate sued Marvel and so far, has been unsuccessful).

Because the Iron Man movie carried credits for Jack Kirby, Larry Lieber and Don Heck (two of whom, to the best of my knowledge, never sued Marvel).

Because the Thor movie carried a credit for Jack Kirby & Larry Lieber (see above).

Because every Marvel movie since the first X-Men has carried accurate creator credits.

And because there has never been any dispute about who created Captain America.
