Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

[The Nth Doctor]

Unless the public and celebrity uproar succeeds and Disney finds a spine again. They already released a statement saying that they're going to talk with Kimmel about finding a "path" to put him back on the air. Sounds like they already realize they made a mistake.

I wouldn't hold my breath. I'll be shocked if Kimmel gets his show back (even if he wants it back at this point). This was all about capitulation to the FCC for profits.

But this isn't the place for that discussion.

I don't think Kimmel would be amenable to any expectations placed on him for continuing his show. Disney is probably saying this so they don't have to fire him and pay out his contract.

I'm very far from being Conservative in any of my viewpoints, but encouraging the boycotting Disney is a clear-cut case of going after the wrong target.

The FCC was threatening to shut down ABC entirely if Kimmel remained on the air. Kimmel doubled down like Colbert did a few months ago.

Thank you for illustrating and strengthening my point.

You say that as if he were the one in the wrong. The government's actions are completely unconstitutional.

Fantastic news! Plus, further confirmation that Elden Henson returns in some capacity.

Not only does he need to return he needs to have a big role in the show along with Karen Page. Lack of interesting supporting cast really hurt the show last season IMO. Also I want to see the return of the Night Nurse. I know Rosario Dawson might be hard to get back but even a single episode would be nice.

More like they want to eat their cake and have it to. I agree he shouldn't have been fired but of course ethics mean nothing to them. Just optics.

Don't expect to see She-Hulk again. Maslany has burnt her bridges by encouraging people to cancel Disney+ because of Jimmy Kimmel's cancellation.
