A little more info on the 'WandaVision' Mavel series coming to Disney+:

It sounds like they may be pulling from Tom King's 'Vision' mini-series from a few years back which was tragic and really heartbreaking, but probably the best Vision story ever told.

Cute. NOW BRING ME INFO ON FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER! Let’s be real, that’s what I’m mostly interested in. :teleport:
 

I realize you posted this because it is Disney related and that you find it interesting because with the Disney family, there is a company that was founded by a family member, whose name is forever attached to the brand, and yet, the family members have absolutely no say in the company and how it is run (which is somewhat interesting). However...

I don’t necessarily understand why CEOs in major corporations get so much flack about their salaries when actors, actresses, professional athletes, etc. are rarely, if ever, put on the hot seat about how much money they earn. CEOs have the enormous pressure and responsibility of making decisions that impact people’s employment and livelihoods, stockholder’s investments (including mutual funds held by a 401(k)), and potentially the health of the economy. Their skills and talents are as unique as an elite athlete’s and arguably benefit society even more. I don’t know many people who would be willing to have that kind of pressure on their lives or work the hours that they do. So, is Iger’s bonus outrageous for completing one of the biggest media mergers of our time? No more so than someone who gets paid $300M to play baseball, IMO.

What is interesting if Iger was to make zero dollars and Disney split his $65 million up between 201,000 Disney employees. It would be an extra $324 yearly not including withholdings. Broken down into weekly it would an $6.23 a week per paycheck not including withholdings. People don't take the time to do math. Its a non story..... It's a political issue that is meant to drive a wedge in between folks.

Same, but also I just found Rivers of Light to be plain boring. It was a one and done for me unlike many of the other nighttime shows. I'm sure the change has been sparked by lack of attendance. What use is it to have that big amphitheater if there aren't butts in the seats?
My guess is that they had time to reimagine the show after they botched the initial rollout. If I recall the show as it currently stands only somewhat resembles the plans as originally proposed.

I do understand them not releasing Song of the South but Dumbo is just weird to me because that film is readily available as it is.
Plus I believe the song exists on many versions of Disney music available on CD.
