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.
