I'm not here to debate Kennedy for the millionth time, we done that for years. She is gone, she is out the door, no reason to redebate all that over again. Yes she wasn't a creative, acknowledged.
Feige has lived long enough to see himself become the villain. Marvel’s flailing and flopping just like Star Wars now with only a few notable hits.
How is that feiges fault?
“First rule of leadership: EVERYTHING, is your fault” -Hopper
You realize he is the villain right?
Yes but he’s not wrong. If you’re a leader you’re responsible for those under you. Their failures are your failures, especially if you’re the one who approved them to do certain tasks.
That may be, but the same can be said about almost every long running franchise and their key players. Even the much beloved George R.R. Martin has seen his share of villainy talk from the fans over the years.
The lesson here? People are way too fickle.
She was supposed to be gone at the end of last year. So she's not gone yet. And I wasn't trying to debate Kennedy again. I was comparing the two.
Because you can't do what he did with the mcu if you're not. Unless he pulled the wool over everyone's eyes, you just don't orchestrate that sort of project without having that creative side. Again, just because he's not writing scripts, doesn't mean he's not creative. There are many fascists of creativity.
Except we don't need to rehash all of Kennedy's faults and such. The whole point is no matter when we think she was suppose to be gone, she's leaving at this end of this year (with a likely handover before then, maybe even by April at Celebration)
By that definition you can say almost all Studio heads are "creatives" in some way, yet I wouldn't actually classify many as an actual "creative". He is a producer, and in my opinion a great one, but I wouldn't call him a "creative". So I just don't see it the same way as you do.
Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni will replace Kathleen Kennedy according to Jordan Ruimy of World of Reel.

I’m being told — albeit by a single source — that Dave Filloni and Jon Favreau are tipped to replace Kathleen Kennedy as head of LucasFilm. A formal announcement could happen at Star Wars Celebration in April.www.worldofreel.com
Rice is currently at A24, which is doing pretty well lately. So not sure if he'd want to leave to come back to Disney after Chapek fired him.
Or maybe people don’t want to be blind consumers of crap even if it’s from someone who entertained them previously. We as consumers don’t owe these people anything. They entertain us, they get our money. They fail to entertain us, they don’t get our money. It’s as simple as that. Feige has clearly lost the touch he had when developing the first ten years of the MCU. I hear Deadpool & Wolverine was good but I’ve become so apathetic to the franchise as a whole that I still haven’t seen it.
