Chapek apologized to the woke mob. He gets what he deserves.

Chapek probably feels lower than whale droppings.
Meanwhile, I thought Iger was considering going into politics. I guess not anymore. The Board of Directors demands a steady hand at this fiscally shaky time.

Yeah, inexplicably he turned the golden goose that was Disney in a declining woke, leftist company, crapping on the very family customers that made it.

“I thought Iger was considering going into politics.”

Looks like he’s being positioned to take on DeSantis, Disney’s biggest enemy. If he gets that scalp, he’ll have a career in politics.

Iger did that and is back to finish the job. Iger had creative control over EVERYTHING until this year.

Chapek was starting to gain control of the creative side and was in the midst of expunging the woke elements.

Now Iger is back to finish the job.

I’m looking forward to homo Captain America, transgender Thor, and everyone’s favorite: Pedo Parker.

Oh, and how can I forget? Doctor goes after Strange flesh.

I said he's a FAIRY don't you suppose
flying through te air in panty hose...

Who knew?!??

The fish rots from the head and Bob Iger is the head fish who started the big downfall.
