never should have reupped his deal in the first place -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 20, 19:07 11
- They had to do something as a sign to Wall Street, and Iger wasn't interested at the time. -- nm - The Gossip King Nov 20, 19:10 10
  - apparently Iger has never really wanted to leave. and now all you’ve done is ensure that the next Chapek will be looking over his shoulder in two yrs -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 20, 19:16 9
    - From the meta perspective, Iger just positioned Chapek to take the fall for everything pandemic-related. It's a masterstroke. - The Gossip King Nov 20, 19:28 8
      - "Remember that billion dollar movie we made? Well it was *my* idea to make a sequel to it!" -- nm - Reagen Nov 20, 19:55 1
        
        at its core, putting a theme park guy in charge of your whole creative empire, especially at the very moment you’re launching streaming platform - hollywood big shot Nov 20, 20:09
      - smart people know the pandemic should take the fall for 90% of the pandemic decisions. COVID didn’t make Chapek turn Pixar into a DTV factory - hollywood big shot Nov 20, 19:31 5

        I think Iger has to “do something” just so he can be seen to be “doing something”. I think that involves Kevin Mayer. -- nm - Mop Nov 20, 21:07
        
        and Mayer was shitcanned over two years ago like the day after it launched. everything since has been on Chapek’s watch -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 20, 19:47
        
        It’s perfect scapegoating. Reedy Creek? Chapek. High ticket prices? Chapek. ScarJo? Chapek. Box office? Chapek. -- nm - Mop Nov 20, 19:45
