Pretty much what the tweet above says, Disney should condemn this especially as one of the largest companies in Florida.

"Not being shocking" is not the same as "not worthy of being upset"/"not worthy of letting Disney know you are displeased with their choices".

Its terrible,they are terrible, People will get mad at Disney for 1 or 2days before  Disney  distracts us by releasing the new Thor or Obi wan trailer and any cancel or boycott Disney talk is buried while everyone gushes about the awsome trailers and trailer views...Its the typical cycle 

[BadOlCatSylvester]

Yeah, we're definitely getting a Kenobi trailer this week as a distraction.

[filmlover]

lmao the timing of it all.

I’m ready for Chapek to try to pivot tomorrow Lightyear for the plus lol.

[JWR]

Amazing. It took Michael Eisner two decades to become overwhelmingly disliked as the CEO of Disney. It only took Bob Chapek two years.

When did Chapek piss off Iger?

Bob Iger was embarrassed by how Chapek handled the ScarJo lawsuit. 

[Morieris]

Probably with how he handled the ScarJo Debacle...There's a THR article from back then if I can find it. My favorite part about his weak statement is "We're diverse through a handful of properties that only came out in the past 5 years, and only 2 i've listed are about LGBTQ people."

 

I wonder if he knows people can be black and part of the LGBTQ community.

Yeah Lightyear going to the Plus tomorrow as a last ditch effort to save the stock and his job. Throw in Strange World and the 2023 films too for good measure.

People compartmentalize; news at 11.

 

Don't think anyone here was suggesting otherwise.  But even when people do "gush" over the next big trailer (and I expect to be one of them if the Kenobi trailer drops tomorrow like some not-exactly-reliable-in-the-slightest rumormongering suggests), that doesn't mean they can't both be excited at seeing that stuff and still be honked off/incredibly disappointed at Chapek.  Enough so to keep putting pressure on Chapek to let him know that he done gone messed up here.

Oh, he can be voted off the board at this meeting? Sweet, please do so, shareholders.

Maybe, maybe not... the bigger concern is that his tenure as CEO expires on February 28, 2023 pending the board giving him 3 more years.

While I won't say "never say never", I'd think we'd be hearing a lot more "palace intrigue" type stuff if Chapek's job truly was in jeopardy.  Could happen.  But just don't know if enough pressure has really been built for it to happen.

 

Is a general cloud of bad feelings/anger/discontent toward him, but I don't think it has crystalized into an actual movement yet.

 

Will say though that he's pissed off more than enough people that when the spark comes to light the fire, it's likely to spread rapidly.  Just don't know if that actual spark has happened yet.

It’s what they deserve. Disney are always on the wrong side of LGBT history.

About the only think CHapek has done I apporve of is pulling Disney out of Russia.

The thing is he is going to do something that will make him too  toxic. Question is when.
