And he did just the same the other day, name dropping 'Al' and agreeing with his views, as posted previously.

I have a hard time saying this is a smoking gun.

On its own? No, but if everything else proves the identity and that he wrote under Al's name that would explain that particular posting habit.

It was stated some pages back that there was a co-author and he was Dusty Sage's ex. Haven't seen if he's been named yet, gonna tackle the DL thread next and find out!

So let me see if I have this straight...
1 - There is some guy/gal who writes an obscure Disney blog somewhere in the vast bowels of the internet
2 - It is rumored that there may be influencers within our ranks who may spin positive, or may spin negative
3 - It is also rumored about the "real identity" of someone with the username of TP2000, and if this person is ghostwriting under the name Al Lutz.
4 - Supposedly, these influencers are SO POWERFUL, that their voices can cause TWDC execs to lose their jobs
5 - And all of this is so important, that people are wildly speculating/debating/arguing to the tune of 50+ pages(as of today)
My only question...why does anyone care about any of the above? LOL

In corporate intrigue, you can expect alliances to be made and unmade with, ahem, "partnering up." It happens all the time. Humans be humaning. Keeping track of who's been partnering with whom can be a tangled web.
When it's a clique of gay men... there ain't enough yarn for all the connections on the old cork board. You're just making a giant pot holder.

Iger always has these scapegoats. When Shanghai blew up in his face and bad news started trickling into American media he threw it all on Tom Staggs and had him take the fall.
Did you not read your own point #4?

It's me. The jig is up.
Yes, and yes. IMHO.
The rest of this? Knowing that those mentioned read this thread... Some personal axe grinding to divert people's attention, by creating DIS community distrust, from their true goal - setting Chapek up to be the fall guy if SW:GE doesn't meet the lofty expectations once RotR opens by taking a page from Iger's playbook in 2004/5. And they got what they wanted - Attention plus the sowing of certain seeds. Rather brilliant, when you take a step back and look at it. Well played, gentlemen, well played. There's probably more than a few kernels of truth in all of it, just with a lot of chaff surrounding them.
I have only one problem with it all, and it's a lesson from the Save Disney days - Be careful what you wish for, because you just may get it. As theme park fans, we wanted Eisner gone (Honestly, it was 2nd Decade Eisner we wanted gone, because 1st Decade Eisner was a rock star with Frank Wells), and look what we got in his place. I'm absolutely in that camp, because I detest The Bobs and their merchandise/synergy/Movie-IP-everywhere ways. I can only hope whoever replaces them isn't more of the same, or worse.
And don't worry about Iger, his money bin will cushion any fall he may have just fine.
Wow. Just reading the Spider-Man/MCU/Disney/Sony news. This week has not been kind to Disney.

I wonder if this is today’s “bombshell” because as a massive fan of the MCU this sucks if true and the key to the article on Buzzfeed is that it was Disney’s fault. Another shot at Disney.
I have a feeling the studios will work this out though. It’s just silly not to continue with the partnership. This might get more of a negative fan reaction than any of the other issues we have been discussing!

The Buzzfeed article (Deadline sourced) indicates it was Disney’s fault.
"Spider-Man" Is Leaving The Marvel Cinematic Universe
Disney and Sony Pictures will no longer share Tom Holland's webslinger.
www.buzzfeednews.com
“So Disney, according to Deadline's report, stipulated to Sony that it wanted to split future Spider-Manmovies as a 50/50 co-financing arrangement — which also meant a 50/50 split in the profits. Sony — which produce said no. Disney said fine, removed Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios as producers of Sony's future Spider-Man films, and kicked the character out of the MCU sandbox.”

It was Disney's fault what happened with Sony. Disney got greedy (surprise surprise). Sony liked the partnership creatively and for what it did for the brand but Disney thought they deserved more (surprise surprise). They would be silly not to continue this partnership but the horrors of late stage capitalism has made Iger's Disney Company very silly.
There are a lot of Disney fans (and cast members pretending to be fans) on this board who are bullies. And they're that way because the Disney Corporation is a big bully. This is yet another case of Disney trying to strong arm bully to get more than what they deserve.
Vote with your money, that's how this can all be turned around.

The irony for me was that he was using Disney as a stepping stone to his real goal: to be President of the United States. And while he's at it, make a boat load of money in the meantime. Also, I think that Spirit loved Disney from reading his post over the years. Of course this is just my opinion.

Let's see; Spiderman was floundering with Sony, disney puts him into mcu and rehabilitates the character and Disney is somehow wrong. Sony was benefiting big time from the mcu connection. Disney wanted to co-finance and split the profits. I don't see this as being unfair considering Kevin Feige and Marvel were doing all the creative heavy lifting.

Tom Holland stays I think. But, the movies will be horrible as in the past. Maybe they will get DC's movie people to shoot it all in CGI hahaha.

Which Sony was fitting 100% of the bill so Disney could literally do whatever they wanted. Its not like Sony can make up profit for their BIGGEST IP merch wise etc. The films are the only way they make money. So I do not blame them for this.
