Buried in the article is this important line,

Disney+’s demands for content got more ambitious. The company, under CEO Bob Chapek (who was subsequently replaced by a returning Iger)

I know it's easy, but all these problems truly do rest with Bob Chapek. Chapek said more content and more content exclusive to Disney+.

Marvel announcing too many projects and putting out subpar ones? Chapek.

Star Wars announcing too many projects and pushing for more Disney+ content? Chapek.

Dumping fantastic Pixar films on Disney+? Chapek.

There is a reason he was replaced. And since he was replaced...

Marvel put out Thunderbolts* and Fantastic Four, two excellent Marvel films. Yes audiences are still hesitant, gaining them back will be a challenge.

Star Wars put out Andor season 2, one of the best Star Wars related media to be put out in recent history.
