Sure, but then Brian Roberts also overpaid Disney to overtake Sky, something definitively they've admitted by writing down 9 billion dollars. The Fox acquisition still is indeterminate for DIS on the other hand.

Actually... DIS has divested over 30 billion, so the numbers are shockingly even.
Brian Roberts made sure to shoot both companies in the foot simultaneously.

He’d take that as a win…I bet
George Washington was 3-7-1 in battles…

Well the Murdock family won out with the inflated prices…
Comcast and Disney would both have made out better if Comcast hadn’t initiated a bidding war for FOX

…but they did…and both threw too much cash at “assets” that can’t ascend much
Who's doing that?
Sure, some are. They are also either unaware or ignorant that he was at the helm when many/most of the problems many point out around here started.
Pffft.... those "assets" just need the MAGICAL!!! Disney retheme/reboot/reimagine treatment combined with some DEI checkboxes. Voila!

They should take over AMC and install lighting lane on their new “view based seating pricing model”
The idea that you pay more in a room with a screen because your view sucks less is straight outta central imagineering

Have you seen the auditorium maps? The surcharge is on basically every single seat.
They'd make people hate them less if they had just raised prices by $2 across the board and then offered a $2 discount for crappy seats and a $4 discount for really crappy seats.

I don’t think I’m particularly subtle about my distaste for Iger and my loathing for what he did to the parks. But in Disney’s major ongoing conflicts with Peltz and with certain governmental entities, Iger is the lesser evil by many orders of magnitude and it’s very important that he triumph.Who's doing that?

I think you're going to be severely disappointed.
Iger's core competency is not winning battles, it's in smoothing over relationships so he doesn't have to fight battles in the first place. He's not interested in "triumphing" over DeSantis, he's interested in appeasing DeSantis so that both sides have a victory to crow about on social media while maintaining the status quo in every tangible way.

I think we know where Chapek is working now after this AMC pricing stuntThey should take over AMC and install lighting lane on their new “view based seating pricing model”

This is delicious and I’m in awe, but you know things are drastic when Zenia Mucha and Disney is leaking Epstein stories rather than killing them
Speaking of Weinstein, does Lucasfilm still employ one of his top assistants?

Wait, killing the stories, or killing Epstein?
