I'd avoided coming back here until the results were in the bag, especially how much you all were embarrassing yourselves to claim Peltz either had a chance or would be a savior. Or that we'd get a repeat of Philadelphia 2004. Well not only were the vote totals close to replacing any board...

Wells certainly was a loss. But he was not an infallible figure who could never do wrong, he was not this sainted angel a lot of you make him out to be. He was just as capable of mistakes as Eisner was. But he certainly did so many things right and he and Eisner were a great partnership. Eisner...

If you have your way, they'll go through five CEOs in five years, and the market will punish Disney by taking its stock back to the Eisner era lows. Disney will be ripe for a hostile takeover from Comcast yet again. And this time, Roy and Stan Gold are not there to save it. Abigail and her...

There's nothing "secretive" about Iger's plan; especially not compared to Zaslav's. Not having every single detail out in the open is automatically "keeping things secret." You can't keep things secret if there isn't a thing; you can't talk about ideas off the cuff without having things thought...

If you play musical chairs with the leadership position, it only causes chaos and makes people think "Disney can't get its act together." The company's best hope is to stick it out with Iger until 2026. But that time, his moves will have borne fruit and we'll have a viable successor. The time to...

Are you saying you WANTED Chapek to stay?

People pay for Deadpool. Ant-Man 3 and Thor 4 were wonderful.

What did Iger get? A great, complementary asset that fits Disney perfectly; great franchises to work with, a chance to do right by the fans of Alien, and making more money off it all than Murdoch ever did, as this was someone who could not make profit off his holdings but just shoveled money to...

In 2005? When he JUST TOOK OVER FROM EISNER? He wasn't that protective back then. He just took the job. So many of you say there were alternatives to Iger that should've taken the job in 2005 instead. BUT YOU NEVER PROVIDE NAMES. ALL I WANT IS A NAME. ONE NAME, OF SOMEONE WHO'D BE "BETTER" IN...

Yes, and odds are Iger brought him and Mayer back to groom them for that when he's done in 2026. But WHO WERE THE ALTERNATIVES TO IGER IN 2005?

You say you want a better company. But you can't AGREE on WHAT FORM that better company should take. You've never known. You don't even care. Your entire identity only revolves around "Eisner and Iger are wrong." You offer no meaningful alternatives, no viable candidates for replacement, no...

I'm merely a fan of Disney. And I act more like a fan than a lot of you people here do, where you do nothing but root for the company's downfall. And you've been doing that since Eisner's days.

Everything has ensured trust. He got ABC out from 4th place, got GMA and WNT back in No. 1 on broadcast news, helped spur the Revival in animation, repaired things with Pixar and got it, built up a great empire with Marvel, Lucasfilm and Fox, got Oswald back, got rid of Peter Murphy and...

And Iger proved you wrong, many a time, as he did fantastic things. And you still never GIVE A NAME FOR AN ALTERNATE IN 2005. Even Roy and Stan admitted they didn't have one. They didn't want Iger in 2004, but a year later, had to admit they couldn't think of anyone else. If THEY couldn't have...

Yes, and Iger is one of them. He's proven it time and again. Jack Welch is also not the "big bad who broke capitalism" you like to claim. Was he overhyped? Absolutely. But he DID put money into building GE, and GE still MADE things aplenty during his tenure. Jeffrey Immelt is the one who...

"Alan Horn, the studio mastermind who led Disney's years of unparalleled success." Ha! Horn is an arsonist who's also a firefighter. Look what he did to Robert Shaye and Michael Lynne at New Line.

So you still have no names for people who were good alternates in 2005. You continue to just duck the question without admitting "I have nothing."

Disney has been doing well ever since Iger came on the first time, yes. Chapek did create problem areas, but it was never as bad as it got at the end of Eisner's tenure. Iger has already been making great strides to fixing those minor issues. As for the bigger plan, Iger still needs time to...

He hasn't failed yet. You can't just chuck him out before he's had time to carry out his plan. So Peltz's attack is asinine and misguided.

Peltz won't do a darned thing about any of that. He'd just embezzle money for himself and claim it's "for the shareholders." If anything, he and David Zaslav and John Malone should be bosom buddies.
