For the past decade, Disney has been the Teflon movie studio, remarkably adept at withstanding the tectonic changes impacting the film industry, and well fortified by its arsenal of key properties such as Marvel, Lucasfilm and Pixar.

But this year, the long-reigning titan of the box office has shown cracks as four of its biggest releases from those brands and others have struggled in theaters..

I feel that Disney is very much a bad thing for the entertainment industry. They own so many huge IPs and have proven that they by and large, can't actually make good use of them. Just look at what they did to Star Wars movie wise. It makes me wonder how a monopoly is actually defined.

I wish they'd get broken up into smaller companies to help fix the entertainment industry.

My biggest gripe is how everything needs to be connected to each other. I noped out of MCU after Endgame, really don't want to get suckered into another "phase" or whatever they call them. Too many shows, too many movies, and most of it is not interesting at all.

Also, they've really doubled down on the interconnectivity. You used to be able to follow the main arc without difficulty if you saw most of the movies, but now you have to watch absolutely everything including the TV shows or you have no idea what's going on.
