Or things only get worse and Marvel go on full woke mode?

Does this mean that Disney will force Marvel to make a better product?
Marvel doesn't care. They're gonna get woker and go broker.
Yeah man Disney as a whole doing bad because their parks are shut down and movie theaters don't exist is actually mostly because of comics
Fuckin idiot
Just fucking sell that mouse before it dies.
>Does this mean that Disney will force Marvel to make a better product?
Disney doesn't care about comic books if they did they would find a way to add digital comic as part of the Disney Plus package
While I agree that COVID-19 affected some of it, the full statement is "for the six months ending March 28". The parks only closed mid-March, so if you wanted to be gracious and say all of March was lower because of coronavirus that's still only 1/6 of the timeframe.
This line further down is more indicative of the dip:
> Results for the current quarter and six months reflect the consolidation of TFCF Corporation and Hulu LLC, which the company started consolidating on March 20, 2019
When 21st Century Fox was acquired they were drowning in debt, so part of that dip included cutting redundant resources in the company and general "cleanup" from that merger. Just due to the size of both companies it will likely be at least 2-3 more years before they're fully merged, although the further they get into the process the less extreme the costs will be.
Disney has never been in this situation before, the need to survive can change everything.
NOOOOOOOOOO it's always politics
I want SW, Disney, and Marvel to be different companies again.
And there will always be those who refuse to budge even as everything burns down around them. Marvel's too deep in their own ass to change their ways.
>2020
>still reading marvel
>Fuckin idiot
You, you can't even read. In what part of the sentence did I state this? All I said is that there is a chance that Desney will tell Marvel "Start making a profit or BTFO".
They already went full woke, and it just fucked them over to the point that they had to fire the eic, or did you forget the Alonso era of marvel?
But Disney may not like it and then all Marvel executives will be fired and replaced by other people. And this financial crisis makes this option very likely.
>They already went full woke
No, they still haven't published Nu-New Warriors.
If theaters reopen globally and they continue making a billion per movie, then it won't.
Since the CEO of Disney stepped down a while ago, I hope they don't sell it to Tencent.
Dude, Marvel comics hasn't turned a profit since the 80s. They exist as R&D for movies and TV shows, and given that Disney is adapting Ms. Marvel and Ironheart for D+, they must be pretty happy with them so far.
one can only hope. it certainly wouldn't be in their interest to purposefully alienate potential costumers and long time fans anymore.
in the past they could take possible loses but right now they are fucked.
one important thing too keep in mind is that 55% of coronar caused unemployed are women despite women making up less of the overall workforce in america.
service industries that are female dominated have been hit much harder by the pandemic.
that means right now it is unwise to exclusively pander and target female costumer, something that disney and marvel has been going towards for years now.
I mean 99% of all new marvel and disney shows are female focused.
>I mean 99% of all new marvel and disney shows think that they are female focused.
Fix, most women don't like shit made by simps from Marvel and Disney.
sure, but the end result is the same, those shows don't have the interest of men in mind either
Since Disney as a whole is hurting, and the main culprit is the current pandemic, I'll doubt they'll ask anything of marvel. Unless of course, they become REALLY cash strapped, then they'll cut dead weight. But does this report include all of Disney's assets?
Yes, all.
Thus, you’re implying that Marvel Comics’ current ongoing are somehow connected to the disaster of their parks losing money. They have no correlation to one another, so why the fuck would Disney force Marvel to do anything to make up for a problem that’s unrelated to them? Stop being retarded.
>you’re implying that Marvel Comics’ current ongoing are somehow connected to the disaster of their parks losing money.
The actual comics division of Marvel Entertainment is an exceptionally small part of Disney employing ~500 people at top estimates with a yearly revenue of less than $40 million. They're nothing in the grand scheme of things when compared to licensing and the films.
>Since the CEO of Disney stepped down a while ago,
You're behind in your news
I am still correct.
You guys know America Chavez isn't being published anymore right
People on Zig Forums don't actually read comics
>PAY NO ATTENTION TO BLACK PANTHER AND CAPTAIN MARVEL
Women are obsessed with disney, what the fuck are you talking about?
You mean the shills don't
don`t know if this is still the case but in March they stopped all Affirmative action programs because the money simply wasn't there with coronar wrecking the economy.
Companies can only affortd all this sjw, diversity shit in times of extreme prosperous because it is costing them tons of money.
If the economy stays in a bad spot I expect sjw stuff to be turned back a lot.
you do know that white male character are still routinely being written as idiots so that women and minorities can steal the spot light and that all female character still have their censored bodies and outfits right?
Considering profit chasing is how we got the shit SJW comics, probably not, they'll just chase some other demographic.
You're just proving my point
who cares
Just let it die already. We've got manga, BD, indie and webcomics. Capeshit is no longer necessary
