The past couple of weeks have been challenging for WarnerMedia. “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” underperformed, Ezra went nuts, Amber is increasingly becoming a liability, their CEO Ann Sarnoff got fired, and new boss David Zaslav will no doubt fire many, many more before long. But, if nothing else, WarnerMedia and Discovery can take solace in the fact that they are not Disney - because rarely has the brand name of major corporation been dragged through the dirt as much as Disney has in the past couple of weeks!

With Marvel’s Moon Knight on Disney Plus, Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness about to open and Star Wars Obi Wan just around the corner, this is not the time for their image as family friendly company to be called into question, but that’s exactly what is happening.
Making matters worse, is that all of Disney’s problems come from within the company, from its own employees, and from a management that is kowtowing to them.

In this video, we will begin by going through how Disney could get to a point where a modest number of employees could hold the entire corporation hostage, how Disney is seemingly giving in to their demands, and the backlash that is increasingly coming their way because of this.
