This is trying so hard to win back the fans after the train wreck of Last Jedi and Solo

yeah. if there is one nice thing you can say about modern Disney, they know how to do trailers.

and also, WAS THAT THE GHOST?!

They do know how to play the nostalgia card pretty good. But honestly all their movies lately just plain suck or are mediocre at best. At least to me anyway.

to everyone who isn't a diehard disney fanatic

And so, after 42 years, it all comes to an end. I'll send this to my dad; he's quite the Star Wars buff.

[monsterlord18]

it also came to an end 14 years ago.

[The Blue EM2]

For now, at least. After Solo performed less than satisfactorily at the box office, I imagine Disney are treading very carefully.

[monsterlord18]

5143541
not to mention pissing off a lot of fans with Last Jedi- so much so, the fans are boycotting the film like they did Solo. also doesn't help matters when Disney's PR the last year or so has been hilariously terrible.

You referring to PayGate?

[monsterlord18]

5143561
paygate?

[The Blue EM2]

5143647
The scandal over Disney paying cadt members barely a minimum wage,

[monsterlord18]

5143649
oh. well, there's also loads of other things, like treating their fans like garbage, cooking the books for their theme parks (don't really understand that, but it is illegal), the near-fatal skyline accident in Florida that they tried to pass off as "yeah, so what? it's no biggie", and their PR team being a complete and utter disaster.

[The Blue EM2]

5143662
Skyline? I hadn't heard that one.

[monsterlord18]

long story short, newly installed skycars at the Florida Disney Land failed to work and caused a massive pile-up high above the ground- don't know if it was high enough to kill, but easily high enough to break bones. anyway, there was a massive pileup because sensors failed to work. people were trapped in the summer sun for 3 and a half hours because Disney was being shit. 911 operators were like "fine, whatever, geez- get off the phone," and people were in peril. the calls were released online recently- a girl was trying to help her mother who was having seizures, others couldn't breath, and the medical supplies were woefully inadiquate

[The Blue EM2]

5143685
Those hadn't gone into operation when I was there this summer. The attitude of those 911 operators was unnaceptable though...

[monsterlord18]

5143687
what month did you go?

and yeah, this is one huge disaster Disney is trying to brush under the rug and it is failing spectacularly.

July and August. I made sure to be especially polite and friendly with the cast members.

[monsterlord18]

5143732
i think these went up in early september, which it was still technically summer.

[The Blue EM2]

5143745
Not the best of relaunches for the Skyway concept. The Alton Towers ones are similarly unreliable.

[monsterlord18]

5143751
yeah. people almost died, and Disney acts like "whoopsy, clumsy us. let's just forget about it and move on, K?"

[The Blue EM2]

5143778
Bit of a PR nightmare, and not what I'd expect. The engineering on their rides is normally flawless.

[monsterlord18]

Disney this year has been floundering. 2019 is totally not their year.

[The Blue EM2]

5143801
Financial performance?

[monsterlord18]

5143810
financial and public image.

[The Blue EM2]

5143824
Let's hope they can pull it back.

[monsterlord18]

5143832
only way they can is if there's a corporate coup and Iger is ousted.

[The Blue EM2]

5143838
Iger's stepping down in 2021.

[monsterlord18]

5143840
not soon enough

[The Blue EM2]

5143868
Who would you suggest replace him? Maybe...Michael Eisner again?

[monsterlord18]

5143871
at least he saved the company with the Renaissance of the 90's. but i wasn't even a sperm when he was in charge, so what did he do to get him ousted?

[The Blue EM2]

5143886
80s and 90s.

The simple answer? Euro-Disney, which was an absolute financial disaster. It's only recently started turning a profit.

[monsterlord18]

5143890
that's why he was ousted? given how Iger is dragging the name through the mud, time for things to change.

[The Blue EM2]

5143938
Who would you suggest?

[monsterlord18]

i got no one- i don't know every name

Maybe bring back a Disney, although Abigail seems less than keen.
