    @bucksinfour @george_font @squaresense This dude prolly don’t watch. But if they do, they perceive him as a “bad person” and they think life a Disney movie so when he putting up more stats than their starboy main character they gotta a problem.

    @ACapitalLP Disney control ≠ equity upside for Fubo shareholders Subscriber count ≠ profits (still thin or negative margins) No clean catalyst for value realization “Great asset, bad stock” problem

  • bulldawgs111 JrisChans I’m Charlie (@bulldawgs111) reported

    @NoContextHumans When grown ups that don’t work for Disney wear Disney attire

  • Msoni187 Soni (@Msoni187) reported

    @deniroxtra @sametcurryph @loserkanao Overall a really rushed and disney *** ending with an awful villian. I genuinely like Black Clover but this ain’t it man. There is more to it tho but i'm too lazy to write allat

  • xxShrinkWrapxx Christa Frazier (@xxShrinkWrapxx) reported

    @NoBanksNearby @Matt_Pinner I used to work for Disney, and I’d say it’s a mix of obsession and inability to grow up, mixed with psychological conditioning (the scents they pump through the park sets off nostalgia triggers, which puts people in a child’s state of mind, so they are more likely to spend more money while in the park, because impulse control is down when the more primitive side of your brain is firing and your cognitive function is shut down). It causes people to do things they wouldn’t do normally. So it’s a mix of present mental illness, and psychological triggering by Disney.

    The worst part about christmas is going to my dead mums house and seeing my siblings have left it idetical to the day she died, i get to go home but for them its everyday bro with that disney channel flow

  • ACapitalLP A Capital (@ACapitalLP) reported

    @p450513 Fair points and I’m just beginning the work here. A few thoughts though: (i) I agree there’s no discrete catalyst beyond pro forma reporting and cleaner disclosure, but that alone can matter when a business is being re-underwritten post-transaction. (ii) Disney control is less about equity upside capture and more about negotiating leverage, content economics, and sports assets. That doesn’t preclude minority shareholder returns if the pie itself is expanding. (iii) The bigger picture is value transfer. The economic value built up over decades by traditional cable distributors is being disrupted by vMVPDs. Even if near-term margins are thin, it’s hard to believe that value doesn’t get captured somewhere as the model scales and stabilizes. Feels less like a “great asset, bad stock” and more like an early Uber (YTTV) vs Lyft (Hulu Live) dynamic playing out in live TV.

    @ThomasWillett9 Translation, "Disney has managed to ruin a seemingly unruinable universe, time to go back to likeable and popular actors and characters". I doubt it's going to work, strayed too far from canon, made stuff no one asked for or wanted. Hard to recapture the interest.

  • GABBO123ABC456 The Masked Superstar (@GABBO123ABC456) reported

    @BSaarX @SepzenoOfficial @DisneyPlus Born Again was good. What is your issue with it?

  • gendersadist roofie rick (reprise) (@gendersadist) reported

    you are trying to fight the concept of transformative work (the thing that allows fandom to exist) while disney and adobe and other media giants swiftly close in on enacting corporate IP capture where they can argue that anything that looks similar to their IP is their property

  • ConstitCrisis ConstitutionalChris (@ConstitCrisis) reported

    My family is spending #Christmas @ #Disney. I have to say, I've never heard so many different languages spoken at one place in my life. After the Somali Minnesota defraud-a-paloosa broke, I can't help but ask how many other people are cashing in at US taxpayer's expense.

  • joequant Joequant (@joequant) reported

    And if you are Disney, you can maximize capital efficiency by just writing the same old crap. You find something that works and just repeat it, make money. The problem is that innovation and creativity take effort and require that you pay writers decent amounts of money.

  • atlmanowar Grouchy Groucho (@atlmanowar) reported

    @OotyMcTooty Lol, that's gotta be the worst take of all time. The prequels with all their many many many flaws are far superior than the slop Disney produced

  • Tuekray riptvb (@Tuekray) reported

    Yo **** percy Jackson on @DisneyPlus Y'all got the worst cliffhangers of all time. Huge 2/10 boo.

  • Polin11301130 SamandWillowFan (@Polin11301130) reported

    @KmoonlightS I think the fit and quality are pretty good. I got an extra large and it’s not too big or tight. Some places I get a large because their shirts run big. That’s often the case with shirts from Disney. That isn’t the case here.

  • JaMonkey Meghan Cooper (@JaMonkey) reported

    Dang, @DisneyPlus really raised prices and we can't even watch a Christmas movie because it's buffering so bad. Maybe invest in upgrades to your servers with all that money and the ads we now have to sit through O_o. #DisneyPlus

  • MattMattMatt_23 ಠ_ಠ (@MattMattMatt_23) reported

    @OotyMcTooty I think the Prequels and Sequels are both terrible and don’t have any nostalgia for the prequels, but I sort of enjoy watching the prequels more because they’re at least bad in a fascinating way. The sequel is bad in a very Disney, corporate way.

  • Katakuriii_ Consciousness over ******* (@Katakuriii_) reported

    @ThomasWillett9 Nothing about priorities, buddy. Disney experimented with the whole diversity BS and it didn't work out, so now they're bringing back Steve Rodges, RDJ and I wouldn't be surprised if Thor comes back

  • veggie_delight vee (@veggie_delight) reported

    It’s so funny that when you work for Disney you get a free Disney plus account but the one with ads

  • pg_oofy Paul Goff (@pg_oofy) reported

    @JaMonkey @DisneyPlus Same here. Trying to watch Home Alone or the Santa Claus: nothing but buffering. The ads sure seem to work fine though…greedy, stupid Disney

  • vetusomaru Vetusomaru (@vetusomaru) reported

    @_di_gi_charat_ And let's not start with all these modern movies that are fully made with blue/green screens. Which is why they look so cheapass and lazy made despite being by big companies like Disney and so soulless, with them focusing at quantity over quality.

  • viophl viop.hl (@viophl) reported

    @RealGrumpyCat @DisneyPlus kinda need a christmas laugh, gonna stream grumpy cats worst christmas ever now

  • LOTTracks LeaderOfTheTracks (@LOTTracks) reported

    @E2forLif @TheRedJinty that was a different time when they didn’t gaf about presentation or quality, they had lost the license to a lot of disney IP’s+ the fact that Toys ‘R’ Us was in decline so they made serious budget cuts. here, the budget is definitely higher but it still looks kinda mid.

  • TartiiCat Tartii 🦖🐱 (@TartiiCat) reported

    Nothing is going to realistically happen until platforms like Disney and other big companies have the images they post get mutilated by twitter's AI edits. When it becomes a problem for THEM we MIGHT see a backpedal.

  • Eh_Bee_Sea Ally Bryant (@Eh_Bee_Sea) reported

    @questionableway Regular kids' lego quality has really gone downhill since they started releasing those adult sets in the black boxes. That, and they spend so much on licensing marvel, disney, etc. that sets are becoming far too expensive for what you actually get for the money. Disappointing.

  • ZacharyJDowell Zach Dowell (@ZacharyJDowell) reported

    @ThefureUSMNT @Otto342 @garyfattersonBU If we’re talking about a committee that is just worried about quality of play then you’re on to something. Problem is it doesn’t matter what you do or byu because saying Alabama will create more revenue than saying BYU for Disney. That’s all they care about

  • quintessonqueer Katie's Corner✡️ (@quintessonqueer) reported

    @SolurM34557 @RandomBadger613 @sw_holocron That is too broad of a statement to be true. The EU encompassed hundreds of projects. So many of them which were awful. Many of them very good. Parts of the EU improve the saga and parts of it suck. Just like Disney Star Wars, some is good like Andor but some is awful like TRoS.

  • E2forLif JollyE2 with a tree (@E2forLif) reported

    @LOTTracks @TheRedJinty They lost the Disney license in 2016 tho that two years after TM2. I guess you are right tho the quality is higher now.

  • robotdinozaur__ Robotdinozaur (@robotdinozaur__) reported

    @creepydotorg @sorrowen Nickelodeon and Disney need to be held accountable they should be the ones to provide these people with help

  • Mdub6283 Guy (@Mdub6283) reported

    @DisneyPlus hey I’ve been trying to login to your terrible streaming service for 20 minutes and it still won’t work. Hulu was better than this POS service and it sucked too.
