(13,616 posts)But considering that Disney made about two billion dollars between Black Panther and the movie BP set up: Avengers: Infinity War, how did anyone think that ABC would do anything but slink? They know where their bread is buttered, and it is NOT with the Roseanne types.
It should be noted that many of the same people complaining about Roseanne also complain about Disney's other cash cow, Star Wars, the one where they started having strong female characters, and some strong AfAM characters (Lando for the win.) They know it will be very hard to sell those lando Calrissian toys if they side with Roseanne. If you want to see who our enemies are, read the whinefest that accompanied the last two movies, all of which was basically "Bring us back our white dude heroes that everyone would worship!."
ABC knows where it's bread is buttered, and frankly, that is a lesson a lot of politicos need to learn fast.
