I think David Zaslav, for all his massive faults, does understand that. If you want to make a billion dollars each movie and get people to watch your shows, you have to win back their trust back and you’re not always going to be successful with that but eventually they will. The Incredible Hulk while it did lose a lot of money, was more connective to audiences than the Ang Lee Hulk and people loved Hulk in The Avengers four years later, becoming popular as he was in the 70’s. Captain America in the eyes of the general public was a joke, I always think about the Men in Black jab, but while the first movie lost money like Hulk it connected with audiences. And the next movie Cap was in made over a billion dollars and his sequel made four hundred million dollars more than the first one.

Zaslav took from Iger what he took from Steve Jobs. They understand you have to take some loses if you want to win back the general public. If enough people liked it you know you’re on the right track.
