How did Napoleon not rename that building when he left? Like pardons and signing EOs that were never gonna be put into effect?

You’re right, it can’t be. The timelines don’t match up whatsoever.Are you saying Bob pulled a “2020” again?
Nah…not even possible…just can’t be

That’s the Chapek Line!
Wall Street is forward looking. They're not looking at now, they're looking at what happens 2-3 quarters from now.
I think we all can agree that Wall Street isn't sold on Josh and Dana, because the movement has only been down.
Just one of the many reasons why they needed to go outside the castle for leadership.

He was a weatherman...he knows.
Now I’’m nervous for Josh D’Amaro as CEO of Disney. Since his first week has been crazy, now I’m starting to have a funny feeling maybe he’s not the right guy to be CEO of Disney! I’m not going to say it’s the end of Disney. I hate saying that! I just hope Josh and of course, Dana will steer the ship at Disney. But sadly, you guys keep seeing the worst of it!

He may not be, but one week generally isn't enough time to form a reasonable opinion one way or the other. Disney is a big company, and it will likely take some time for whatever direction he wants to go to become apparent.Now I’’m nervous for Josh D’Amaro as CEO of Disney.

Concern is warranted…but it’s too early to really know anything.Now I’’m nervous for Josh D’Amaro as CEO of Disney.

The main concern - which is debated amongst fandom - is if he’s just an extension of Bob and the board (which is Bob)??
That pulls in to question if they’re being well run and for how long?
…I have no opinion

Possibly?
Wouldn’t the market like to close down Pixar studios and move the staff to Disney Feature Animation? That Pixar complex has got to be crazy expensive.
Lots of things to cut if that’s the goal.

It’s not “down”…it hasn’t moved much at all for years…and has been maybe mentioned - is flat over a decade…
That seems to indicate it’s more of at it’s ceiling. And against drunk market where everyone gets rich daily…that’s trouble: Wall Street style.
Their revenue hasn’t been able to keep up with the expectation of an easy profits as it’s transitioned from cable to…parks?
Parks are NOT meant to pull an entire entertainment company. No sir…it’s a critical flaw that they won’t admit.
They really need another media source…and it ain’t Hulu

Yeah…I don’t know how long catmull can stay held up in his Alamo before the accountants decide to redline it?
The same…and even worse situation…is in the presidio…where they’ve basically crashed the “shiny object” that was bought partially for mystique and now sits as overhead without much fruit to pick up off the ground.
I chuckle when I look back to all of Bobs purchases and initiatives that were supposed to redefine the future of the company and make it an unstoppable media force for investors.
Marvel
Star Wars
Pixar
21CF
D+
Hulu
All introduced with tremendous fanfare, all unable to deliver any investor value, all hobbled by junk leadership.
As I’ll repeat the stock has been flat for more than a decade…

Chapek rocked the boat with DPEP pretty quickly into his term and ticked off a lot of the Disney deep state in the process by changing thingsNow I’’m nervous for Josh D’Amaro as CEO of Disney.

Josh knows that Bob and Dana are uncomfortably close right behind him waiting. He also is very much aware of what happened to Chapek. This is certainly not healthy.
The needed someone new to come in and clean the cobwebs out of the house. Instead they got more of the same. Which despite what Disney PR can spIn to the low information dusters and cupcake brigade is very much not working.

He should know…since he was one of three bagmen that bob said…I mean…the Hollywood reporter and WSJ “concluded” took out Slaphead
And the other two were offed faster than you could say “grassy knoll”

Let's take a look back at Josh's magical first week as the CEO with the keys to the kingdom! 
1. The Iran War continues, and the more it looks long-term the more it puts the big Miral UAE park in doubt. Though meetings happened his week reconfirming commitment, many question if the park will even happen, which would mean Disney misses out on its huge licensing fee. Meanwhile, any further oil spikes and economic uncertainty from this will decrease park attendance this year. And that TSA crisis does not help.
2. The big 1 billion OpenAi Sora deal is broken off as Sora is announced shutting down, which Disney found out 30 minutes after a meeting about its planned integration on Disney+. While cheered on by many, now they have no open AI plan for investors.
3. Epic Games cuts 20% of its workforce as the first sign the game strategy is not working and is in decline.
4. The Bachelorette is cancelled just days before its planned airing due to video releasing of the focus subject throwing stools at her ex and her child, causing a $70 million+ loss and a scramble to fill the slots with the IP unlikely to continue.
5. Moana live action trailer releases, gets a very negative reception and roasted online as further signs of Disney's quality rot and image decline.
Welcome to the role Josh, it is not a walk & talk in Disneyland job anymore. Hope you packed many pixie-dusted fire extinguishers to put out the fires, you are going to need them.
