It probably would've been better for society if the other guy had won, but I prefer this outcome.

As much as I don't like corporations, I don't like it when people treat them as spare parts. That's what private equity is built around. It's even less human than a corporation's innate lack of humanity.

(It's different when governments do it. Governments should do it more.)

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

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
