@Elephant777: Barely managing to hold on, though I am deeply infuriated at the pointless change to Ariel (Seriously? If they really wanted to do representation, why couldn't they... I don't know, create an actual black character from scratch and NOT change the lead character's entire ethnicity?!). Bringing Lin Manuel Miranda to helm the remake is a mistake.

And as it is, they're actually losing a lot of money. They lost a lot of sales not just in terms of stuff like Star Wars, but also with Cars and Frozen and Moana materials, and heck, their whole Galaxy's Edge theme park thing crashed and burned (heck, even their Toy Story Land didn't do so well. Granted, it did better than Galaxy's Edge, but that ain't something to brag about). What's worse, they've gotten a lot of box office bombs with Solo, the Dumbo remake, and also the Wrinkle of Time movie. What I'm wondering is what is it going to take for the shareholders and board of directors to stop sitting on their hands and do something by firing Bob Iger, who right now is caring far more for pushing far-left politics than in actually turning out a profit. Not even under Eisner was it ever THIS bad. Even Eisner was smart enough to avoid backing abortion overtly or trying to ban an abortion bill. As far as I can tell, they're edging closer and closer at full throttle to bankruptcy a'la the ending of Thelma and Louise, and I'm NOT at all happy about this.
