This is how I imagine the conversation went down that finally pushed Bob Iger over the edge. Please keep in mind this is satire.
Imaginary Bob Iger: "So you're telling me you're keeping Disney in the penalty box due to cord cutting even though Netflix owes much of its success to re-running our movies, and to a handful of 2nd tier Marvel characters we licensed to Netflix because we were busy cementing the most powerful media brands on the planet?? I get it, House of Cards was great, but that's just one show coming to an end. You do realize we stole Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm with their endless libraries of future content for bargain acquisition prices, right? Marvel has 1000's of popular characters, such as Blade, that you probably didn't even realize. Lucasfilm owns the IP for Indiana Jones for god's sake. Don't you realize the potential if Disney diverts all cash flow to destroying the competition instead of paying dividends and doing buybacks?"
Big name analyst from large Wall Street bank: "I'm sorry Bob, Netflix (NFLX) has a DTC relationship with ~115 million subs and growing. They've done a great job following Amazon's (AMZN) lead of not confusing the market with short term profits. It keeps the focus on sub growth and fuzzy Internet metrics like engagement and hours of viewing per week. This allows our trading group to make tons of money selling options against the never ending stock increase. It's a win-win for us. Plus have you seen Ozark yet, it's great. Bateman killed it. And Shane from the Walking Dead is superb as The Punisher"
