so you wanted the other guy? -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Apr 3, 10:46 20
- It probably would've been better for society if the other guy had won, but I prefer this outcome. - Beryllium Apr 3, 10:53 17
  - In what universe is *Nelson Peltz* better for society? - David Apr 3, 11:14 4
    - Because he would destroy Disney, before it had a chance to become a true monopoly. - Beryllium Apr 3, 11:29 2
      - There’s no monopoly in entertainment. - Will Hunting Apr 3, 11:35 1
        
        not for Iger's lack of trying -- nm - hollywood big shot Apr 3, 11:43
    - Can’t spell Wokeville without the word “evil.” -- nm - Qale Apr 3, 11:23
  - Better for society with the other guy, who questions the value of Black-focused and woman-focused movies? -- nm - Mop🧹 Apr 3, 11:10 11
    - don't kid yourself Disney execs were just as down on The Marvels as Peltz, they just knifed it under the table instead of on CNBC -- nm - hollywood big shot Apr 3, 11:14 10
      - That's because principal photography was a disaster, just like with Secret Invasion. - David Apr 3, 11:19 9
        
        Marvel movies are all just fast food shit. they got exactly what they paid for (except with three female leads and a female BIPOC director) - hollywood big shot Apr 3, 11:23 8
        
        This is absolutely false. They marketed the living shit out of Marvels. - Qale Apr 3, 11:26 6
        
        was supposed to be a summer marvel tentpole. dumped it to november -- nm - hollywood big shot Apr 3, 11:28 5
        
        The words 'dumped' and 'November' do not mix for me. Maybe if it'd been dumped to January, I'd buy this argument. The strikes didn't help either. -- nm - Qale Apr 3, 11:56 3
        
        Between the strikes and Covid, a lot of entertainment was devastated. -- nm - Spawn Apr 3, 12:08
        
        Iger could have settled with the guilds in May/June if he wanted to have actors available for summer promo -- nm - hollywood big shot Apr 3, 11:59 1
        
        Now on that I agree with you. The fact Iman Vellani couldn't be out promoting it, hurt it. Of course nothaving Brie and Teyonah on the talk shows hurt -- nm - Remlik Apr 3, 12:21
        
        Because it needed massive reshoots. -- nm - David Apr 3, 11:38
        
        All this was nonsense, and you know it. They added scale for newer directors during a pandemic. - David Apr 3, 11:26
- no but they also weren’t entirely wrong about his missteps of late -- nm - hollywood big shot Apr 3, 10:50 1
  - This wasn't about his missteps of late. This was almost entirely about February 2020. - David Apr 3, 11:14
