Woke Lunatic Bob Iger Chopping $3 Billion from Disney's "Content Creation" Budget
Good. They can do less damage with less money.
Walt Disney is targeting $5.5 billion in cost savings, including $3 billion in non-sports related content, CEO Bob Iger said today on a meaty call after earnings where he detailed a company-wide restructuring. He said the other $2.5 billion are general operating costs, of which $1 billion is already underway. The rest in incremental and will fully materialize by the end of fiscal 2024.He also announced that they're cutting 7,000 jobs. Midnight's Edge reminds that Iger told his "content creators" -- and that's all they are, "content creators," not artists or filmmakers -- to spare no expense in producing a large quantity of low quality schlocky "content" for Disney+. Disney+ didn't lose as many subscribers as they feared -- but they're way behind their subscriber goals. And now they're shutting down the Schlock Production line, which results in less "content" on Disney+ to attract subscribers. Speaking of Disney spending like a drunken sailor under Iger for no great return -- remember, Disney spent Seventy-Freaking-Billion dollars to acquire Fox's entertainment divisions. $70 billion. Iger had spent $4 billion for Marvel and $4.05 billion for Lucafilm, and I forget how many billions for Pixar. And then, to top it off, he bought an entire major studio for seventy fingerbanging billion dollars, almost entirely just to bring the X-Men and Fantastic Four franchises over from Fox to Marvel. Does anyone believe that the X-Men franchise -- which already got lame and repetitive over two decades of exploitation by Fox -- and the also played-out Fantastic Four franchise are worth seventy skullfucking billion dollars? Yes, they also got the Avatar franchise. And that's nice. That's not seventy footsucking billion dollars of nice, though. So now Disney is in the position it was in the early eighties -- broke and out of ideas.
Meanwhile, VodkaPundit writes about some of the people not being laid off by Ultra-Woke Lunatic Bob Iger at Disney.
The "story" in which Luke Skywalker wonders if he's attracted to men was published in 2022 -- last year. Disney hired a gay activist to write a Luke Skywalker story in 2022, and now, 45 years after his debut on the screen as a heterosexual teenager so horny he's hot for his sister, he's part of the Rainbow Mafia. People need to vote for Norman Peltz on the Disney board to have a non-woke-lunatic asking the occasional question of Bob Iger about his plan to drive Disney's stock value into the ground so that he can prove he's the Wokest of the Woke in time for the 2028 Democratic presidential primary.
Do you know who isn't getting the boot? Disney+ producer Latoya Raveneau, who admits to pushing a "gay agenda" by "adding queerness" to children's programming wherever she can. Or Jim Morris, who heads up Disney's Pixar division. Pixar has been slowly losing steam since Disney purchased the computer animation studio from Steve Jobs in 2006, and its last three films -- Luca, Turning Red, and Lightyear -- have all been massive flops. Lightyear might have been the worst of the lot. It took a beloved Toy Story bad-ass astronaut whose catchphrase was "To infinity and beyond!" and turned him into an all-too-typical clueless white male clod who couldn't even successfully leave a single planet. Or Kathleen Kennedy. She runs the Lucasfilm division, purchased from George Lucas in 2012 for $4 billion. Since then, she's run the Star Wars franchise into the ground with a combination of bad scripts and "the Force is female" wokeness. Worse is the damage done and yet to be done to beloved characters like Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, who became unrecognizable, unlikeable, and unheroic in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, respectively. Now there's this:"Writer Sam Maggs, hired by Disney's Star Wars," the report continues, "openly admits to including queer characters in her work as part of her mission to promote LGBTQ+ representation in the media."
One character that has been the focus of discussions about LGBTQ+ representation is Luke Skywalker. In June 2022, a short story was published in Stories of the Jedi and Sith, in which Luke Skywalker was depicted as being attracted to a man. This story is now part of Disney's Star Wars canon.

Iger is the guy who green lit the people and the content that Didley is putting out in the recent past and now. Things are still going to hell in a woke basket.
Also DeSantis got the legislation today to stab Didley in the kidneys in Orlando.

Really, it feels like 70s-80s Disney or 00s Disney.
Weird live action movies that no one remembers, and a host of direct to video sequels to more popular films.
Also, the three big movie announcements are Toy Story 5, Frozen 3, and Zootopia 2. Not original films, but sequels. I know, we're 2 decades into sequel obsession, but it's the only thing that seemed to get people excited at all. No Star Wars, even.

That Restore the Magic website is now up, and has been updated with a press release today that Trian is "withdrawing our nomination of Nelson Peltz as a director to allow the Board and Disney’s leadership team to focus on creating long-term shareholder value without the distraction of a proxy contest."
Here's the reason (which you are posting about here): "We congratulate Disney and Bob Iger on their recently announced operating initiatives, which are a win for all shareholders and broadly align with our thinking. We are pleased with the role that Trian was able to play in helping to focus the Board to take decisive actions which we believe will lead to better financial results. We were also pleased to see the Company's pledge to restore the dividend."

The suppression of the Fox library is the most frustrating part for me.
When Disney took over, they told their creatives, "Find what you want, and we'll make new content out of it." Hence, the Prey movie, a sequel of Predator. Hence the Home Alone sequel thing. Hence the upcoming Alien tv show.
They didn't but a library. They bought IP to exploit.

So they started "out of ideas."
Then they bought Marvel, Lucas, etc, because they didn't have any ideas of their own.
Now they're "broke and out of ideas" because they didn't know what to do with their new multi-billion-dollar toys?
Why isn't the board throwing out literally everyone involved? Keep the janitorial staff and start over.

And before you say "Avatar", the creator of that franchise said that he had to -- HAD TO -- earn two billion dollars in order to break even. To put it another way, he made a few hundred million on the movie. Nice money, but its not digging Disney out of this pit.

That would actually be a pretty easy thing to do, given the huge cast of X-Mens over the years and how many of them were not just women, but strong, interesting characters (especially Claremont's years).
The problem is, throwing that on the screen utterly cuts off any memberberries and that's just about the only way to get a big win in movies these days.

Well there's basically different levels of fans. There's fans of a limited core product, like the OT, then there are fans of the core product and all the affiliated stuff produced, the EU in this case. These are different types of customers. Sort of like how there are Harry Potter fans buy the games and such, not just the books/movies.
Most of the latter group were alienated with the killing of the EU. Disney hoped to replace them with a larger fanbase built off the new movies with all new extra content bringing them money. I don't think that occurred.
Casual audience who occasionally randomly watches a movie or buys a game with the Star Wars label (like a non-Star Trek fan might watch a big Star Trek movie) aren't likely to be alienated. They're not invested in things being a particular way.

There are like 50 Star Wars books with nothing to do with the original cast. Many many games, same deal. The Knights of the Old Republic franchise has terrific stories they could have used (and, if rumor is correct, may be).
But there's no point now, the magic is gone. People would have lined up to see one of those stories on scree, before the prequels and sequels.

In Star Wars: The Ass Jedi, young Luke wins RuPaul's Drag Race on his desert planet, and sets out to find himself in the big city on Planet Palm Springs.
After a piss-orgy where he drinks the urine of 31 male wookies in a single sitting, the force awakens. The force of Ewokpox, that is. After applying band-aids to his butt-sores, a wrinkled old groomer named Scrota starts training him in the disciplines of the Jedi, an ancient, secret society of leather-daddy dungeon queers.
As Scrota trains him in the art of the meatsaber, he comes to realize Luke has the highest shitichlorian of any Jedi in history, and realizes it is his destiny to lead the resistance and penetrate the Empire's mighty Puckeredstar, a giant ass-shaped battleship meant to wipe out all the most fabulous planets with an AIDS ray.
But then he just teams up with a gang of space hobos and they all bang each other together, because the real force is the friends we make along the way.

The OT is a specific soap opera story with a limited cast. But it also established a setting that had tons of books and games made for it.
Knights of the Old Republic is set in the far distant past for instance. Republic Commando was pretty popular Clone Wars era content.

I never followed the story enough to get how it was known that the first balloon was China's. Doesn't seem like a good spy balloon if it was obvious who it belonged to, but my 'knowledge" of the spy business is just from a couple Ludlum and Clancy novels.

Idiotic Head of FBI: Hi, do you have a new enemy of the state for me?
Lying Paranoid FBI Agent Shitbird: Yes, sir. I do. It's the Catholics. They're praying the Rosary.
IHoF: The Rosary! That's the little bead thing!
LPFAS: Yes, sir. And they're using those beads to become white supremists! And using them for violent action.
I: You mean they're choking people to death with their bead thingies?
L: No, sir. They're praying to God on them.
I: ...Oh...
L: But, they're praying for the wrong things like ending abortion and transition surgery on children.
I: Great Gaia! The Catholic Church is going to be hard to stop.

Some idiot in accounting figured if you eliminated sharing, you'd triple your income because of course everyone on a shared account is watching the same amount and would pay to do so.

Point of order. It was not a Sidewinder. Sidewinder's are infra-red guided, and the last time I checked helium balloons have very low heat signatures to track. The F-22 used an Aim-9X which is radar guided.

"Yes, they also got the Avatar franchise. And that's nice."
Hey, no cracks about the Avatard franchise. It's all about "greening" everything, which is why they made "Avatard 2: The Way of Velveeta".
The scene where the blue Avatards get freaky with Velveeta was cut, as it was rather graphic, AND they came out not quite green enough.
See, Velveeta is too orangey, and not yellow enough for a real trans experience, but still there's the narrative to uphold, like the "Best By:" date of Velveeta, forever.
