The higher the cost, the higher the risk of the investment. When WDI says it's going to cost big bucks to do anything, than management is more likely to fall back on IP related aditions, because they see them as safer. It all ties together.

Also when everything costs more management is less likely to build more.

Uh oh, looks like Hulk got mad and destroyed another ride. We'll call Iron Man right away to fix. Now here kid, have a Kablam sticker and shut up.

Oops, looks like you misspelled Sqaudron.2. If I had a dollar for every time I read 'Rouge One' in an article, I'd have enough money to buy 8 Mickey Premium Bars. It's Rogue, not Rouge. The red color was already taken by Red Squadron

I didn't, so I'm confused.

I love the subtle digs Joe made in his comments. Not overt and they came across as enthusiasm for the projects. GotG being "almost an intrusion"? Square peg? "You make a choice and you do it". Brilliant stuff, if you read between the lines.

Disney is beyond concern with risk. Themed entertainment is viewed as a marketing medium, and therefore projects that do not market are pointless.

This will work well, Fire your on air talent the ones who draw eyeballs to your shows.
Yes college basketball is ESPN's big draw but what about the other 7 months of the year.
Service cuts and price increases yeah that will keep the viewers tuning in.
Pro Tip Disney. Sometimes the best deals are the ones you walk away from... like doubling your nut for Football and not getting a Super Bowl as part of the deal. Yeah Bob Goodell is laughing at you and your team for giving the NFL everything they wanted and you walked away with nothing. For crying out loud Fox got more games and a Super Bowl for a piddling 800 million compared to Disneys 1.4 billion nothingburger

BTW put the square bracket at the end of the QUOTE tag to fix post.
Disneys fundamental problem is they are CHEAP they are unwilling to invest long term. They should have bought Netflix ages ago because Disney has a vast back catalog which is going un monetized instead they market the hot items but don't do strategic investing in the next generation of products.
Heck I was afraid ATT was going to ruin direct TV. No they brought direct tv's portfolio to every mobile device on the planet. Along with upgrading the satellite platform.

Last Super Bowl that Disney-ABC aired was 2006 if I am not mistaken.

The point being that Disney out of all the networks airing NFL football They have paid (overpaid in my opinion) almost more than the others combined and have not gotten a Super Bowl out of the deal
Sounds like incompetent deal making to me

Although this seems to be true, the Washington Times is a joke. I have never heard of this newspaper. Apparently it was started by the unification church by Rev. Sun Myung Moon to battle communism!
Crazy story in itself

I guess they needed Dick Ebersol making their deals for sports / Olympic rights.

And yet, Joe 'gotta keep my celeb designer paycheck' Rohde is the go-to man for Disney when they need a yes-man to force management's square pegs into the parks.
