    Eh, not as much as you'd think. At least now there's going to be a legal way to watch the rest of the franchise, which wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't Disney doing this; as I expect the only reason Harmony Gold didn't try to forever tie the deal up in litigation, is the fact that Disney...

    What was even the last enjoyable thing to come out with Disney's name slapped onto it in recent years? I mean I've heard decent things about the Lorcana card game, and the DuckTales reboot was amazing; but other than that? The company has basically become synonymous with failure.

    Because fundamentally, for most of them, they're just stroking their egos about how much better they think they are than everyone else.

    The mostly likely scenario, in my opinion, is that they overpaid for substandard work/materials produced by certain companies, that someone in a position to make the decisions has a personal connection to/stake in. It's something that seems to be prevalent in woke productions.

    It was actually fairly good, as far as I can remember; but I doubt I'd be able to find it again. It's been decades. I think it was done by a guy who frequently contributed to those battle royale collaborations that used to be popular on the platform for a time, with his Red Riding Hood inspired...

    I'm pretty sure I've seen someone draw a version of Snow White with that exact backstory for Deviantart.

    Unfortunately, that's where ESG funding comes in and mucks up the whole system. Companies are literally being paid to make propaganda now, which has opened the door for ideology to trump profits in the business world, and at this point it's going to be extremely painful (if not impossible) for a...

    It's probably still a factor, but the one that hurts their egos the least to admit to.

    It's death by a thousand cuts, and Disney is slowly bleeding itself dry.

    Wouldn't be the first time a cult caused its members to do something incredibly self-destructive.

    Even worse than all that, it's looking like executives at Disney may have lost the company a lot of money by investing it into failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX, and have brought back Bob Iger with the intention of him selling Disney to Apple so that they can sweep it all under the rug before...

    Behind all the high-concept flash though, what Walt Disney was proposing to build was essentially just an upscaled and repackaged company town; which have a well-earned negative reputation in this country.

    He was also a massive control freak, which ultimately culminated in his plans to build a city that I'm almost certain later inspired the city of Rapture in Bio Shock.

    Welcome to modern business culture; where idiots who have no idea what they're doing coast off of the profits made from the good ideas someone else had decades ago, while also seemingly doing everything possible to undermine the viability of their business model going forward. Disney aren't...

    It doesn't really matter how bad the Corona Virus is; it's the lockdowns that are screwing Disney over, whether they're justified or not.

    They are, but the same company is behind both. Disney has spent a lot of money on investments that weren't expected to pay off for years, leaving them with very little wiggle room in the event of a catastrophe, such as the Corona virus pandemic. A loss of profits from their theme parks affects...

    They'll cut costs where they can. They don't have to hire big name actors, or use the latest in state-of-the-art CGI all the time. I would not be surprised if we see a sharp decline in the usage of both, and a lot fewer studios trying to make the next great blockbuster.

    Of course not; the film industry is in for an unpleasant reality check once they realize that the old profit margins are no longer a thing. People will pay less, for more; and budgets will have to be adjusted.

    The popularity of streaming is never going to go down; it's simply too cheap and convent for the consumer compared to movie theaters. Think about it; for the price of seeing a couple movies in a theater a month, you can watch everything on a particular service whenever you want, wherever you...

    Let me put it this way; rumors are now circulating that Disney might get bought out by a major tech company. Even considering that those rumors are probably bogus, the fact that people are even entertaining the remote possibility of it happening, tells you everything you need to know about...
