Pretty much. It's impossible to escape the woke argument with him but more or less I think what he ended up trying to do was leverage his position as Disney CEO to court the Liberals/Democrats and angled for a possible Chinese Ambassador position. Which is why he let so many woke fuckers into the company and completely deface what Disney used to be (a greedy as shit corporation hiding behind a mouse but at least it was largely apolitical back then). That didn't pan out and so once the consequences of his actions started to show up, accelerated by the pandemic shut down, he got the fuck out of Dodge.Rate me autistic, but this is making me think of the B-plot of Max Keeble's Big Move, a 2001 Disney movie, wherein the principal (played by Larry Miller) was discovered to be funneling the school budget not into the education system and teachers' salary as promised, but into building a huge stadium as a vanity project because "Sports rule, science drools".
But that must be why Iger wanted to go into politics so bad. He was already functioning like one.![]()
Which is why him coming back continues to baffle me. Couldn't he have just said no? But by the same token that he would have to know what's happening, I have to wonder if what might end up being exposed could still reach back to him and he came back (almost immediately after the RTX failure, suspiciously) to try and bury the proverbial bodies before the authorities notice. Because if there's been years of securities fraud, that shit definitely would have been on his watch and he'd be guilty as hell since he loved spending money on dumb shit like the ultimately fruitless NBA Experience nobody but him wanted at Disney Springs.
Suffice to say this is quite literally the most entertaining thing Disney's put out in years.
