Bob Iger zabrał głos w Marvelo-Debacie:

Cytat:“It doesn’t bother me, except I’m bothered on behalf of the people who work on those movies…Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese are two people I hold in the highest regard in terms of the films that they’ve made, the films I’ve liked, the films we’ve all watched. But when Francis uses the word ‘despicable?’ I reserve the word ‘despicable’ for someone who committed mass murder. These are movies! To whom is he talking? Is he talking to Kevin Feige, who runs Marvel? Or Taika Waititi who directs, or Ryan Coogler, who directs for us? Or Scarlett Johansson or Chad Boseman? I could name a number of people – Robert Downey Jr.?”

Cytat:“I think I’ve sounded a little more defensive than I wanted to be, because I don’t really feel the need to defend what we’re doing. We are in the business of – first of all, we’re in the business of making money, we’re a profitable business. At the same time at Disney, we try to balance that with telling great stories to the world and infusing them with great values and supporting a employee based of well over 200,000 people around the world with great care, and frankly, respect. So I just don’t – I’m puzzled by it. If they want to bitch about movies, it’s certainly their right.”

Cytat:“You’re telling me Ryan Coogler making Black Panther is doing something that is somehow or another less than what Marty Scorsese or Francis Ford Coppola have ever done on any one of their movies? Like, come on. Yeah, I said it.”

Zrozumiałym jest, że szef ma prawo do obrony, kiedy ktoś atakuje jego produkt. I Bob Iger robi to bardzo zgrabnie, chociaż to z "Black Panther" to mógł sobie darować. Mógł np. obrazić Scorsese, albo Coppoli matki, rodzinę, wyśmiać ich wygląd, powiedzieć, że są makaroniarzami itd. I ja wiem, że zwrot Coppoli był dość ostry, ale Bob Iger nie musiał od razu jechać z grubej rury obrażając ich całą filmografię. ;) 

A już niedługo w następnym odcinku...
