Joss un gorilla? Che fa pipì ovunque? Ok, so che sono metafore, credo
complimenti, ma in dettaglio che diavolo significano?

Joe Quesada thinks that Joss Whedon is one of the comics industry's
"800-pound gorillas." Scroll down a little more than halfway through to see
the Marvel Comics editor-in-chief say that Joss is one of the big hitters
who always deliver their A-games. (Minor spoilers for various Marvel series
throughout.)
JM: Switching from new to established talent, do you think, in a general
sense, certain creators get to pee wherever they want? I look at the
All-Star Batman book DC is doing and think, "It's gibberish. There's no way
they do that except for the fact that Frank Miller is Frank Miller in their
minds, and they'll let him do what he wants." Does that phenomenon exist,
or is it my imagination? More directly, does it exist at Marvel? Do you
have different "rules" for, say, just to pick a name, Joss Whedon?
JQ- Of course that phenomenon exists at Marvel. It exists everywhere. There
are just some talents that are 800 pound gorillas, and that's cool. These
are the prime movers, the people that drive our business at the end of the
day, and mind you, I don't see anything wrong with it. In most cases, these
guys have earned that kind of respect to do their thing. A guy like Frank
has a lot of credit in the bank. He's done some amazing things, especially
at DC, so in my book, Frank gets to do what Frank gets to do. It's Frank,
and it's going to sell like hotcakes. But as I said, this isn't just a DC
thing. We do it at Marvel as well, and lets face it, in most of these
cases, the creators knock it out of the park. Sure, sometimes they don't,
but you run that risk with anyone. Where you mitigate your risk is by
targeting the big name creator who puts asses in the seats AND has a track
record of bringing their A-game all the time. Just to pick a name, yeah, I
think Joss Whedon does that every time.

800-pound gorilla  	
 
An overbearing entity in a specific industry or sphere of activity. A
seemingly unbeatable presence always to be reckoned with; whose
experience, influence, and skill threatens to defeat competitors with
little effort.
In the software industry, Microsoft would be considered the 800-pound
gorilla.

Ora sono stanco e non mi va di leggere e/o fare ricerche. Ti consiglio 
comunque di chiedere su it.cultura.linguistica.inglese.
Ciao,

Fondamentalmente vuol dire che a certi autori si permette di fare
qualunque cosa per via del loro nome.
