[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9034055, member: 7023840"] Not really. It truly is a difference from the top down. Chapek may or may not have been bad at a lot of different things, but one thing was well-known; he had zero background in, or understanding of, the issues with the creative side. Iger, despite other issues, was always firmly on the creative side of the business- he was "of the Business." I think what people might misunderstand is just because someone is "of the Business" doesn't mean that they are going to start producing awesome stuff you like. Hollywood, the industry ... they make crud all the time. Heck, I like A24, and even they are known to [URL='https://www.flickchart.com/charts.aspx?franchise=970&order=desc']make some stinkers.[/URL] And when you get to the bigger studios, you know ROI is going to be on their minds ... it's just that basic stuff, like talent relations, won't get messed up under Iger. People forget this now, but the beginning of the end wasn't just messing things up with Johansson, or trying to force Pixar and Imagineers to move to Florida right when Florida was becoming politicized .,.. it was also stuff like firing Peter Rice without the usual practice of setting up a deal. Just stupid things. [/QUOTE]
