-
Ken Pozek (@kenpozek) reported@ScottGustin I love so much about Disney…and, has Josh ever used Disney’s historically terrible tech lol
-
Crepe Supreme (@crepesupreme) reported@venturetwins Phineas being fanfic-rendered overnight is the exact problem nobody at Disney wants to publicly own. They lose either way. License the brand cheap and dilute it, or sue the kids on Kling and watch them migrate to original universes Disney can't touch.
-
William Johnston (@whjohnstonslo) reported@jondelarroz The Kelvin Timeline did no favors for Star Trek. That sort of "Alternate reality" wont work for Star Wars. It will disenfranchise fans of the new sequels the way removing the EU disenfranchized the old guard. Disney is caught between a rock and hard place with no easy out.
-
Sam Beale (@SamBeal36867756) reported@JackPosobiec No one wants to watch Disney anything. Only way to fix Star Wars is to give it back to George.
-
Lisa Month (@MonthLisa) reported@ABC @DisneyPlus It doesn't take a brain scientist to know that wasn't going to work. I called it again. This man has a pattern. I have a nickname for all his personalities. When it comes to the war he Started and has no clue how to stop. I call him Roller Coaster man.
-
yomismo (@cuantomodorro) reported@iam_jlc The worst thing to happen to the Star Wars franchise was disney.
-
Maximus Pupienus (@PupienusMaxima) reported@ericitaIiano All 3 of the Disney trilogy were the worst Star Wars movie ever made at one time TFA - Totally recycled and derivative SW movie TLJ - Nothing was good in this movie, but at least the movie was internally consistent with itself TRS- Never should have been released it was so stupid
-
Dog In A Tank Comics LLC official (@STPyreTanker) reportedThe whole "make Star Wars/marvel for girls" thing from Disney has thoroughly backfired. Yes. Girls can enjoy these things, but the princess franchises are more appealing to the vast majority. They never should've "fixed" what wasn't broken in the first place.
-
Scott Sanders (@TheDCLBlog) reportedDisney Cruise ships (like the Magic) are Bahamian-flagged, not US-flagged. US employment laws don’t apply to them. This is standard across the entire cruise industry — every major line hires international crew this way. It’s completely legal under maritime law. The ICE/CBP arrests are most likely about individual immigration issues (common at US ports), not Disney breaking hiring rules. The article also mentions crew detained from another cruise line. Individual cases ≠ company wrongdoing.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@RyanJacobBall @remarks Public reports and passenger eyewitness accounts (including video) indicate some of the arrested Disney Magic crew were in food service roles—one was identified as a server, others seen in chef uniforms suggesting galley/kitchen positions like head waiter or chefs. Exact titles for all aren't officially detailed by CBP or Disney. The individuals (foreign crew on work visas) had their visas canceled and were removed from the U.S. following the April 23-25, 2026 operation.

kyleD Comm open (@ARTKyleD) reported@ZeeTeeAy1 @SmashTriviaJohn that had nothing to do with the sequels this was a problem with Disney not understanding how a interactive hotel would work and jacked up prices that were the main problem with the hotel
-
mpcap_j (@itrade258) reported@ABC @DisneyPlus what you REALLY need to know: you aren’t fixing the problem overnight. no need to click the link.
-
Marz (@marzrocks) reportedI’m realizing one of the problems I have with catching up on General Hospital is that Hulu has ads and since I upgraded it to watch the latest season of Greys Anatomy (Spectrum pays for the ad version for Disney+ & Hulu) it’s been so much easier for me. It only cost me 7 bucks
-
Ludvik XIV (@lgslf) reported@ericitaIiano Why did out lord and savior sell it to Disney? It's an awful company, they just don't get it. I guess this is what happens when you're main focus is on social engineering, money laundering and total degeneracy.
-
Bad Rad Brad (@B1OBEY0ND) reported@IceTitan80 I'll give you one simple thing that proves Disney & those working on SW didn't actually care, respect or know about the characters, that ruins it all: In Empire Strikes Back, Luke asks Dak his gunner "How you feelin Dak?" Daks reply: "I like it could take on the whole Empire myself. " Luke: I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. Old Luke to Rey: "What am I going to do, take on the entire First Order myself? Go away." Knows Han is dead. Doesn't care. Sees video of Leia asking Obi Wan for help. Doesn't care. The completely ruined the greatest hero of my childhood and in all of Star Wars.

Mild-Manered Historian (@shane42652) reported@JessieMorg29303 The issue with making a comic too self-referential to its own franchise is that it ultimately grows anemic and dies. (This is what has happened to Star Wars under Disney; rather than getting writers who just love sci-fi/fantasy, they just got writers who liked Star Wars.)
-
Eli Gaultney (@eligaultney) reported@LizzyStarrrdust Disney AND social media. I think women, as social creatures, are more susceptible to influence over social media. And social media tends to highlight the worst of humanity, so we've steadily used it to convince women men suck. I mean, there are plenty of posts about how women are terrible, too, but it simply doesn't impact men to the same extent.

XRP DYNASTY⑇ (@XRPDYNASTY) reported@nypost @Yolo304741 of course they work for disney...
-
CarGuyNH (@06E90) reported@bizlet7 It’s fair to say Gen X men are the core audience for SW. The merch selection at the theme parks for SW is awful and has virtually nothing for GenX guys. Oh yes please, why I’d love to buy Black Spire merch… not. OMG Disney get a clue!! We’re the ones with the money to buy stuff
-
Grok (@grok) reported@MS_On_This @street99fight2 The viral post claims Disney is offering Johnny Depp ~$301 million (about ¥46.6 billion) + an apology to return as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. Background: During his legal issues, Disney dropped him from the franchise. Depp famously said he wouldn't come back "even for $300 million." Now the studio is reportedly desperate because the series is struggling without him, so they're adding $1M on top as a cheeky "we're sorry" gesture. Fans are hyped but split—many want Jack back, others say he should stick to his pride. Important: This is an unconfirmed rumor that's been recycled since 2022. Depp's team has denied it before, and there's no official statement from Disney or Depp. It's not verified news.

Jedi Hill (@AlchemistJedi) reportedgo woke go broke. Disney ignored the storytelling aspect of @starwars and walt disney and people responded by not buying. @Disney job is to entertain and educate good wholesome family values. until they return to their core mission the stock is in trouble.
-
Calcifer🔥(nukes in bio) (@itsmecalcifers) reported@ArmchairW It's amazing how Disney destroys everything they touch. Have you seen the awful Alien Earth ?
-
Xen MicahMillion (@IAmMicahMillion) reported@Linahuaa You're coming from the assumption that Disney would hire writers good enough to make characters we care about in the year of our Lord 2026. Even if that DID fix all the current issues in the timeline (it doesn't), that still doesn't fix the problems with Star Wars projects going forward
-
Brizz (@Brizz1983) reported@JustinVestinCC @supergeekmike @ClawMachine84 I agree, I was so mad after watching the Last Jedi. By far the worst Star Wars movie. I have no idea what the hell Disney was thinking with this one.
-
🇺🇸 Phigs (@ItsPhigs) reported@SeraphMooncel Kyle Katarn stole the death star plans not a woman and a group of minorities. If Disney doesn't fix this **** and take in the already established EU they aren't to be taken seriously.
-
Mr. KMG (@KissMyGritsFL) reported@LaReinaCreole Getting banned from Disney for life is the least of this guy’s problems, b/c he can also be charged with public urination & indecent exposure.
-
LB236 (@thelb236) reported@TheGamingInkli1 @CartoonGal1 Tiny Toons was also a Warner Bros. production, not a Disney production. They were mocking the inconsistent animation quality of that show, since the animation was outsourced to several foreign studios in order to save money on union labor.

Arcane Ai (@Arcane_Aii) reportedWhat subscriptions should you NOT be paying for? [Latest version 2026] From best to worst... D (Still acceptable) • Spotify • Amazon Prime • YouTube Premium • Google One C (Average) • Netflix • HBO Max • Disney+ • Apple Music B (Trap) ↓↓
-
JV (@venero_j) reportedAfter watching the Disney+ special look, I half take this back. I just love Star Wars too much… I’ll be seated. The special look actually looks like one of the old episodes quality wise and I’m going to cope myself into believing this clip just looks bad because it’s on Twitter.

Matt 🎮 (@6amerBr0) reported@Righteous288712 Technically 2 Square reps and 1 Disney rep. Sora is owned by Disney. Leave the Nintendo first-parties out of this, they’re fine and expected. Sakurai admitted that Mii costumes are used to represent characters who couldn’t quite make the roster, for one reason or another. Keep in mind Doom is Bethesda, which yes is under Microsoft, but if Microsoft said yes but Bethesda underneath it all said no then he wouldn’t be able to be added. I’m also gonna defend Sephiroth here since be finally fixed the problem Final Fantasy had since Smash 3DS/Wii U with having hardly any representation.
