Hes just a dude that runs one of the biggest if not the biggest entertainment company in the world. People are happy to see him back as ceo because Chapek sucked. Nobody is worshipping

Dude calm down. He comes off as a charming likable guy, the other guy didn't. People were happy with this guys decisions, they weren't happy with the other guys.

Therefore they are happy he's back. It isn't that deep.

it was a stunning return as no one was expecting it... and he's replacing someone who'd caused a fair amount of damage to the Disney brand (and the offshoots). So yeah... he may be able to reverse that damage and prevent Disney from continuing down the road Chapek was bumbling along.

​

And with the sheer amount of people directly and indirectly who's job depends on a strong Disney brand... it's a good thing.

How dare people comment on a thread about a dude who is gonna influence the content in said thread!

Disney is a huge part of the culture and Star Wars+ marvel are the biggest brands in the country (or at least were a few years ago). They’re literally the McDonald’s of entertainment. This isn’t white collar worship as much as enjoying the creative forces around it. People wouldn’t give a shit about the CEO of chase bank or Kroger for a reason.

Was listening to a podcast the other day where someone pointed out that having a monarchy like the one in Britain actually helps prevent this kind of worship of ultra rich (often morally bankrupt) captains of industry. The monarchy can represent the nation without necessarily having to back a particular political party or agenda. And since people do seem to want that kind of figurehead, the argument was that it's better to have a British-style king/queen than to worship whichever capitalist emerges victorious at a given moment.
