Nelson Peltz, the activist investor agitating to win two Disney board seats, criticized the company’s “woke” strategy — specifically questioning Marvel’s “Black Panther” and “The Marvels,” which featured Black and women leads, respectively.
The 81-year-old Peltz, who has admitted he “never claimed” to have experience in the media business, made the comments about “The Marvels” and “Black Panther” in a recent interview with the Financial Times. “Why do I have to have a Marvel [movie] that’s all women?” Peltz asked rhetorically. “Not that I have anything against women, but why do I have to do that? Why can’t I have Marvels that are both? Why do I need an all-Black cast?”
“Black Panther” does not have an all-Black cast, nor does “The Marvels” have an all-female cast.
Curious, does this person have a history of racism or what? Never heard of them
Also why type the words “question mark”?
I’d say the example is rather obvious. As for the question mark, voice to text is temperamental and I’m lazy.
So, no then. Just this one headline. Laziness seems to be a trend here
Ah, I didn’t know you were the kind of person who just read the headline and didn’t read the article. Well that makes it simpler to ignore you. Laziness indeed.
I’ve never heard of the guy before today, but the only thing I know about him is that he’s said sexist and racist things. How much additional history does one require?
