True, because "what if" they need him to voice anything new for Figment

Figment already has a new voice actor.

2005 to 2014 was not Eisner.

There is a reason so many billions promised are needed. It's been to decades bub. He's promising to fix his own mess.

You need to read what I wrote again.

I’m talking about three decades;
1. Eisner’s last decade
2. Bob’s First Decade
3. Bob’s second decade.

1. Bad decisions, with weaning investment
2. Worse investment (lowest point)
3. Better

8B would place it more towards the good, not stagnant side. Significantly above 2004-14. 17B would be an amazing investment decade; at least in terms of capital. Decisions are one thing, stagnation another.

You are referring to Dave Goelz correct?

Did you know that Jerry Nelson trained Matt Vogel to take over as his characters?

Supposedly Pete Linz was Statler for the game awards.

Peter Linz has been the official performer of Statler since 2017 (he also took over for Steve as Lips and Link Hogthrob).

I still bad for Vogel. He was put in a position nobody could truly suceeed in. While he isn’t my personal favorite, it’s not entirely his fault.

There are far, far worse Kermits than Matt's. Not just impressions in random YouTube and TikTok videos... remember Artie Esposito's Kermit from 2009? No disrespect towards Artie, but that was pretty off-putting...

Heck, there have been far worse officially performed Muppets than Matt OR Artie's Kermit. Matt's Robin was pretty bad (even he apparently admitted that he had difficulty with Robin, which is why he let Peter take over after he became Kermit). Or how about Kevin Clash's Sam the Eagle?

I would love the Simpsons at dhs. I can somewhat get where people are coming from in AC, but me personally, I still want Springfield to come to dhs. Although if Disney doesn’t want a full big land, I still think Simpsons could fit in at dhs. Maybe a more smaller, “muppets courtyard” like area with a smaller supporting ride, and a shop and a moes and a krusty burger with a donut stand somewhere. That’d be nice.

That would basically just be a copy of what's at Universal, though. I hope Disney doesn't want to do that.

I think you should read what you wrote earlier and this post.
The billions is trying to fix it from being stagnant means the last two decades were in fact, stagnant.

They are playing catch up and rushing decisions because of stagnation. "Quick, we gave them star wars land already, too little too late so, give them the door coaster, but make it a land, a RNR retheme."
Proof is in the need.

You’re basically saying the same thing he’s saying, just in less charitable terms that don’t really acknowledge that a lot has been done in the last decade. You’re right that it’s not enough and that there is still an immense need for improvement, but that’s the downstream effect of stagnation as policy (billed as “maturity”) from quite a while ago. The parks are basically half updated and half not because there was a missing chunk of 15-20 years in terms of proper investment, which still has a very palpable impact today in spite of not being wholly representative of the recent past.

In the game Disney Speedstorm, Figment has a different voice actor.
