Elemental continues to hold really well honestly.
Yep. Even with Barbenheimer, it's still hanging in there.

This looks like Ruby Gillman - a low budget Dreamworks concept and movie.
GTFO with this trolling nonsense

Voiced title character in Amazing World of Gumball in the later seasons, I'm happy to see him still getting work after hitting puberty
He's also in The Fabelmans.

The funny thing about all of this is how most of Bob Iger's "wounds" are self-inflicted.
Yes. Bob Chapek was an inexperienced fuckup and a liability to the company. But had Iger been smarter about picking a successor or left before 2019, he wouldn't have had to come back and fix a mess that he helped make.
He also could have chosen to not be the root of the problem with these strikes or ar least kept his mouth shut about the demands of the WGA and SAG. Now, he's rightfully getting flack from people on all sides and burned through the goodwill he had back in November.

Yeah and I’m buying this X-Men: Hellfire Gala issue too. Not even Jonathan Hickman was able to make me buy physical comics again. But getting Kamala as a mutant will do it.
I don't hate this.

I'm gonna be even handed here about Iger.
Quite a bit of the current trouble in Disney Land is either inherited from Chapek's decisions or out of his control.
On the other hand, he's overseen some RECENT decisions which I do blame him for and judge him harshly.
For one, and will be the main objection I raise to his tenure here, his overseeing of the recent content purge on D+ is a pretty huge black mark on his resume in my book and one that I have personally noted. I don't particularly care if it made "business sense" to do it, as lots of questionable/objectionable things can make business sense; that doesn't mean they should be done.
(as always: Just coz something is legal, doesn't mean it should be done)
The axing of Willow after, what four months? Five? Was just downright idiotic and axing of Crater after less than seven weeks (SEVEN! WEEKS!!!) even more so.
Now I'm not gonna throw Iger under the bus over this as I recognize the whole game of "plusses and minuses". Not so much "take the good with the bad" as "recognize that folks can make good and bad decisions — so praise the good ones and call out the bad".
Now I get the notion of "triage" and "cost control" and all of that other Wall Street Jargon that is used to justify anti-consumer and anti-artist behavior like this and... I. DON'T. CARE. Dude made bad calls here and I'm not afraid to say it.
Doesn't mean I want him gone (I don't). Does mean I want him to... not do things like that in the future.
Likewise.
Though I'm not surprised that Iger is extending his return. Two years was never enough time to get all of Disney's houses in order while also finding a proper successor. Plus, with the WGA and SAG going on strike, he can't afford to ditch town when he's part of the reason why there's a mass strike in Hollywood.

I feel like the concerns are both valid and also a bit preemptive. This has the potential to be overcrowded and messy, but it all depends on the execution.

So even if he can't turn the ship around at DC he already has a fallback plan at Marvel.
Things would have to go REALLY bad over at WB for that to happen. Though with how things are going there currently, this isn't completely far fetched.

Now it makes sense. Though the problem with Zaslav getting the boot (even IF that's a possibility) is twofold:
A. Who would replace him?
B. What guarantee is there that his replacement would be any better?
-
This is reaching Bob Chapek levels of stupidity.

It's kind of crazy how well done the origin story was done in Superman (1978) compared to Man of Steel.
That moment when the campy film has a more realistic version of Jonathan Kent dying than the gritty realistic version...

Absolutely loved it. Slow for the first 10 minutes but riveting from then onwards.
