But the 100s of millions in movie losses and the big costs of IP-ification to the parks is an attest to Igers successful leadership skills.
I’m Team Nelson or rather Team Not Bob.

I didn’t say anything about Iger’s successful leadership skills.

It starts from the top. The board needs a shakeup. Iger needs to be shown the door. If a hostile takeover is what it takes so be it
the board has so little entertainment experience it’s crazy.

Nothing you’ve said would be improved with Peltz. He’s not interested in quality storytelling.It starts from the top. The board needs a shakeup. Iger needs to be shown the door. If a hostile takeover is what it takes so be it

Yep, he's more interested in breaking everything up and selling it for parts.

Disney should sell marvel Lucas and Fox they’ve demonstrated they haven’t a clue how to run the top IPs from these brands (except marvel but those days are over)
Peltz maybe not but he’s a buy and sell type of guy so sell the fat then when he leaves he’ll, hopefully, put someone competent in charge. I like those odds better than Iger running Disney.

Except he won't stop at Marvel, Lucas, or 20th Century. He's a corporate raider, not a savior.

He should sell the theme parks (to me).

Anyone believing that he wants to "save" Disney is fooling themselves. He'll sell it all to the highest bidder and there will be nothing left. The Disney that you love will be gone, no more, just pieces now owned by others.What if he sells the us parks to olc? One can dream
Say what you will about Iger, at least he wants to keep Disney intact and growing.

It is. It’s why he didn’t want movies like the very successful Black Panther made. It was a big part of why Marvel Studios was pulled out of Marvel Entertainment. That is very much part of Perlmutter’s view of what is “woke” and you just agreed with it. Now that you’ve been confronted with that you don’t actually want to be associated with it. Perlmutter is Peltz’s creative muse and true source of strength. They are a package.
Even if you just ignore Perlmutter’s horrid views, his preference was for Marvel movies to be the crap shoveled out by Fox and Sony on a schedule.
You can tell Iger understands they went too far with the DEI stuff and damaged the brand. You heard it at the last interview where he talks about “message” taking a backseat to story again. With Nelson on his tail and all the movies bombing he’s trying to say all the right things now. Hopefully it’s too late for him.
I own all the classic Disney movies. I have my memories. As long as Disneyland is still standing I’m good. The people at Disney who have damn near destroyed a brand that took 100 years to cultivate in just a few short years need to be ousted.

I’d say “dead to me” is a bit harsh, but it sounds like you weren’t super into the ride in the first place. IMO the trench coat is absurd but in no way ruins the attraction. And as much as I love the noir vibe of the film, I think zeroing in on Toon Town works perfectly for the ride. I agree that the queue is excellent.
Can’t disagree with this. Tower of Terror brought a level of sophistication to DCA sorely needed these days.

Except what if Disneyland is sold to Six Flags? Some of you joke how Disneyland/DCA has started to be turned into Six Flags, but what if it really happens. That is what Peltz could do if put in charge. Do you really want to promote a guy who could potentially do that?
Or how about if he sells it off to a real estate developer and its razed completely. What then?

The Disney I "love" has been gone since before I was born, man.

Yeah you nailed it. For various reasons I mentioned in one of my last posts it was only something I rode 1-2 a year in the first place. Now after the change it’s 0. So 0 = dead.
Six Flags can’t afford Disneyland. And I doubt anything that drastic would happen.
