Disney CEO Bob Iger blamed the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s recent failures on lack of executive management on-set.
He spoke Wednesday at the New York Times DealBook Summit that came on the heels of the MCU’s latest box office flop, “The Marvels.” Iger noted the on-set team was lacking during the peak of COVID and has continued to be a weak point. (snip) Iger blamed the decline on restrictions imposed on the studio when COVID was running rampant.
“There wasn’t as much supervision on the set, so to speak, where we have executives there really looking over what’s being done day after day after day,” he said.

He's blaming COVID. He never takes responsibility for his errors in judgement.

How would executives have made the movie watchable? Seems to me they make it worse because they are so out of touch with hundreds of millions of Americans. I would think they would have figured out by now woke is not what we want to see.

You keep telling yourself it’s not about the woke, Bob, and see if that cleans up your mess.

Bob Iger is 100% responsible. He's doing what all liberals do. Blame someone else.

I'm frankly surprised he didn't blame it on the public who 'don't recognize outstanding movie making'.

Yeah it was lack of mentality ill executive management on-set, that is why it flopped.
I believe this is classic denial, where his cognitive dissonance is has completely distorted his perception of reality. It is a quite common condition suffered by those on the Left.

Really? This is what you are going with? One of your writers couldn't come up with a better lie? Oh, man, no wonder Disney is sucking so badly.

The Disney Executives in the Board Room weren't preventing disasters in all other things Disney, so putting them on a movie set wouldn't improve a thing. "DEI" kills everything it touches.

Maybe the executives shouldn't have hired all the woke employees to begin with. If they had to do their job for them, why did they need them in the first place?

Yeah Bob, that's the reason. Keep thinking like that and Disney will be gone in 5 years.

lol, no Bob.
It’s because “put three chicks in it and make them gay” works even well than “put a chick in it and make her gay”.
Thr audience for a superhero movie are 12 year old boys. They don’t want to see a dour skinny lesbian, a horsey ugly lesbian, and an ugly fat lesbian on screen.

Bob, your executives are bean counters, at best, SJWs at worst. They could no more change a piece of dirt into a diamond, than fly to the moon by flapping their arms. Creativity is chaotic, and unrestrained, true. It must be guided and limited or it only reflects the fantasies of chaotic unrestrained adults.
The trouble is you people encourage the worst from your artists. You're lacking in self control. You will achieve, nothing.
There is a reason Walt was successful. The characters of his studios were human. The good were, if not good themselves, redeemable, eventually conforming to the highest ethical standards that our successful Jude-Christian society embodied: Hopefulness, Joyfull, unselfish, and generous. The bad were unrestrained monsters that did their worst offscreen. You heard the results but it was left to your imagination how horrible they were. You saw them attempt to restrain the protagonists to continue their evil... and fail.
Your executives don't know how to do that. They sympathies more with the villain than the individual with whom the audience sympathizes. Instead of exercising control, you push for your most abhorant desires. There is a reason actor's prefer to play the "interesting villains" and not the boring heroes. Your job is to restrain that, not encourage it.
So you fail. And fail. And fail.
