Disney's disastrous year

[Zardnaar]

Cite, please. Nobody, including you, knows what the Disney+ viewing figures for the single episode of the show that has been released so far, so I'm calling BS on that. Everywhere is reporting it did the best viewing figure for the show in years over in the UK and the highest-viewed non-reality debut there for the whole of 2023, and that's just the day-of-release viewers.

Maybe it will fail, but there's no possible way you or anybody else knows that right now. Of course, if you lean a certain way and usually view a certain type of clickbaity YouTuber, you'll probably find yourself in that nasty little echo chamber of people who are super angry about the inclusion of a certain character on idealogical grounds and might be led to think that's what everybody thinks. It's not.

So yeah, calling nonsense on this one. Which makes me doubt the credibility of the rest of your list.

Quite a few of said claims are legit and can be sourced from reputable places. Very recent events as in last 48 hours.

The spin on it though make of it what you will.

Dr Who/Musk idk.

None of those articles say that the Doctor Who special failed. Which is what the poster you quoted (and I) were asking for a cite on.

I said idk about that one. Haven't heard anything one way or another.

 

[jdrakeh]

Right. You don't. And neither does the OP.

 

[Zardnaar]

Right. You don't. And neither does the OP.

I'm not claiming anything regarding that. You specifically implied all of OPs claims were false.

Most check out if you've been paying attention. There's two there idk anything about so can't verify/debunk.

 

[jdrakeh]

You specifically claimed all of OPs claims were false.

No, I didn't. And neither did the other poster you quoted. You're just flat out lying now.

Dr Who/Musk idk.

What's this about? I'm confused if you mean you don't know about the Doctor Who failure or musk

Because as I see it @jdrakeh was asking specifically about the Doctor Who being a failure, which made him call into question everything else on the list.

That wasn't me who was calling the rest of the list into question (and the poster who did say that didn't say that all of the OP's claims were false). I did ask for a cite re: the Doctor Who claim, though.
