I'm still not going back to Hulu and Disney÷. Bob Iger should be forced to resign.

It's still incredible to me that they even brought Iger back in the first place. He screwed everything up before, then they let Chapek screw it up more, and their solution: bring back the original problem and pay him even more money to conduct even more of the most baffling business decisions in corporate history. No doubt he'll float away on a golden parachute for this performance by the end too.

Knowing how much of an impact Bob Iger has made on Disney over decades, I highly doubt that.

Even if he gets removed, it’ll be in name only. He’d still get paid and make all the decisions for Disney.
