Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Kathleen Kennedy had an incredibly respectable career but clearly needs to go. She worked better with Spielberg and Lucas.
Alan Horn should have stepped down 5 years earlier. Bergman is not off to a great start. He needs some big wins in the next couple of years or he needs to go too.
Even Feige is fading.
They desperately need some fresh innovative thinking at the top.
Feige probably wants Bergman's job but I'd move him over to Kennedy's job for 5 years and make him prove himself over there first. That'd give him a fresh challenge. Lucasfilm and he both need the reboot.
For Marvel, Disney had James Gunn but they botched it with the termination which lead him to DC. He was the perfect person to build up the next phase of the MCU and GOTG3 is by far the best movie released since Endgame (as much as I enjoyed No Way Home).
I think they were hoping for Taika to be the next one up but Love & Thunder may have put a damper on things.
It's hard to know whether L&T was Taika's flub or the studio's. Either way, you're right, it's bad for his prospects.
Then again, I'm not sure I see him as having the needed business acumen/savvy. Seems like Favreau and Johnson are maybe better equipped leaders in that way. Whedon would have worked too, if he hadn't have tuned out to be such a turd.
