Ironic that Chapek talked about layoffs and it started with himself.I have just assumed the understanding was there since the day Iger left. If Chapek faltered, he (Iger) was to return.

If that were the case, they would have silenced Chapek and reduced his exposure weeks if not months ago.You have to consider that Iger negoiations have been on-going for weeks if not months.
"In an unexpected turn of events Disney accidently tries to acquire itself."now they're talking about Disney buying Warner.
To spread out crowds more…Why does everyone want a 5th park when they can't maintain the thematic integrity of or properly maintain the parks they have?
They totally overpaid."In an unexpected turn of events Disney accidently tries to acquire itself."
I'm curious what's in his golden parachute he bailed out in. More money than some can imagine.Bye Chappie!
$23 million.I'm curious what's in his golden parachute he bailed out in. More money than some can imagine.
I mean it was a TV-14 Marvel show, so... no.
Most likely scenario is BLANK wins the primary, BLANK runs 3rd party, and BLANK BLANK wins 400 electoral votes.
As a BLANK-BLANK BLANK, this is all deeply depressing.
CNBC said that Chapek was only informed last night (presumably time enough to craft a statement on his exit) and that Iger was reached out to on Friday. Incredibly quick but this was clearly brewing with the Board for some time.So do any of the trades have the behind the scenes story yet on how this all went down? Also will Iger be brining his team back like Zenia Mucha?
That's not what the reports are saying today... they are saying it started FRIDAYYou have to consider that Iger negoiations have been on-going for weeks if not months.
I'm surprised that the exit package he received was lower than I thought . He can rest and relax in his $12.5M house he bought last year to plan his next move.$23 million.
I actually don’t hate the ideal of him coming back as a consultant like Roy…IF its temporary as is being reportedReally... bring Michael Eisner back... What's the worst that could happen?
This probably was a quick decision. You can't keep this secret for months. There's not much to negotiate, he wasn't CEO of another public company.That's not what the reports are saying today... they are saying it started FRIDAY
Just read the note that Wall Street is hoping Iger brings some of that parks strategy to Disney+:
Nathanson then outlined possible changes under Iger. “We would hope and expect that Mr. Iger examines the investment plans at Disney+ and re-focuses their investment on areas of franchise strength and away from broader general entertainment content,” he wrote. “In other words, Disney+, and Disney’s shareholders, could probably do better with fewer end-state subscribers made up of super fans willing to pay high revenue per user, which would generate much higher margins.”
I know I'm in the wrong place to ask but... is this a brand that's actually trying to appeal to CHILDREN anymore?
Funny thing is that She-Hulk get pretty good ratings from critics. But general audience (self-selecting at RT and IMDB) give it a 44%.A yaaas queen fourth-wave feminist fable featuring internet fanboys as the primary antagonist is an unforgivable premise when your job is to sell content to internet fanboys.
When Iger was questioned on stockholder calls accusing him and the company of being 'too woke,' his response was, to paraphrase, "We don't see these issues as a right or left issue, we see it as a human issue."
A far cry more diplomatic than the hot water Chapek got himself in.
And the Scarlett Johansson debacle would have never happened under Iger.
So you mean the circle of life?
Every time humanity has tried to be the ones to control things we end up creating a new disease or throwing things off balance and eliminate a species.
-Introduce a mosquito to eliminate
something then we got a new mosquito spreading virus.
hunting for sports should not be necessary for animal or disease control if we let nature take care of it.
If we hadn’t decimated certain animals that hunt and help species population we wouldn’t have that problem instead some prey over populate and spreads disease
It’s the same issue in many contries where hunting for sports or hunting because someone decides to move somewhere where there is wildlife and are surprised that they might kill their stock or pet.
Hunting should be done as a means for survival not as a means for sport or to prove to someone that they big cojones.
I have a neighbor that gets so annoyed because raccoons, possums, deer go in his property and eat their plants. I told him once, you are the idiot that moved next to a nature reserve. LOL
Maybe.Does Kareem Daniel make it to Friday?
