The Forbes article says, “Many had been with Marvel for a decade or more.” There are untitled movie slots scheduled for the coming years at a normal-for-them pace.

fuck Disney+. all my homies hate Disney+.

And it’s not just streaming, I know. The economy falling apart & a heinous FCC chair are also helping destroy animation (which is why I wish more entertainment unions took the threat of Trump returning seriously).
How do you figure that? Mary Blair, Harriet Burns, Joyce Carlson, Alice Estes Davis, Terri Hardin, Dorothea Holt Redmon...

None have been interviewed in this!
"oh my god can at least one creative industry or entertainment giant just not cut jobs just for a bit i really fucking need entertaining right now and making it all AI or making creators and artists panic-scrabble for every little bit of money to make stuff is not conducive to ANYONE'S WELL BEING"

เห็นข่าวดิสนี่ย์เลิกจ้างทีมงานด้านวิชวล เอฟเฟคของค่ายมาร์เวลแบบผ่าน ๆ แล้วสิ่งแรกที่แล่นเข้ามาในหัวเราอย่างแรกเลยก็คือ “ใช้ AI ทำงานให้ชัวร์ ๆ” ซึ่งซีจียุคหลัง ๆ ก็กากอยู่แล้วนะ (กากกว่ายุค 2000s อีกมั้ง)

So the MCU we've been getting is BEFORE they fired all their whole visual development team?

Reminder to boycott all things Disney if you weren't doing that already :)
"Absolutely disgusting behavior from one of the companies whose entire life is built upon art and visual development from comics. Apparently billions and billions in profits just wasn’t enough."

You’re 1000% correct. Couldn’t have said it better!
4/15/26, 12:28 PM
This should be extremely concerning as Disney really care more about profits than actual people. Artists are out of jobs from major corporations because they want to start using AI more and other awful shit. You see why indie companies exist and are getting more love.

Today's a good day to be a lifelong Disney hater ig

Might need to continue scrolling, but it seems that I haven't seen a movie since Zootopia. (which I am fairly certain I saw myself) ...That is right. That is the last thing I consider to be Disney themselves that I've seen.

I think you’re right and I think every company is thinking they can do the same. It’s sickening. I hope it bites them in the ass hard lol!

Disney now joins a large list of mega-companies to look at what made an acquired company successful and to decide that a short-term bonus is worth destroying what made that success possible.

Any normal year I'd be counting down the hours to Disney 😔 I mean we're not going for very exciting reasons but it still sucks

2/2 "These are the artists, illustrators, character designers, environment designers and other technical specialists responsible for the look of Marvel’s film and television productions, from The Avengers to Guardians of the Galaxy to Daredevil. Many had been with Marvel for a decade or more."

The magical world of Disney firings.

Disney is basically slaughtering one of its biggest cash cows and still expecting it to produce milk.
"Ouch... Si il y a un truc qu'on pouvait rarement reprocher aux prod Marvel, c'est la Direction Artistique. Aujourd'hui, la quasi entièreté des artistes qui étaient en temps plein ont été licencié pour leur proposer du free-lance selon les projets. Sûrement rien avoir avec Disney qui va full AI? 🤔"
