Dinsey accused of not wanting fans to remember 'previous icons'
"They don't want you to remember the previous icons who created quality product with depth and nuance," one person commented on PopCulture.com's Facebook post. "They just want you to consume product."
'Luke Cage' creator speaks out
"I mean, why do this?" Luke Cage creator Cheo Hodari Coker asked. "Reg E Cathey was part of the heart and soul of Season Two. We didn't feel obligated to dedicate the season to him just because he died -- we felt obligated because we loved him and he was a galvanizing force."
Fans threaten to cancel Disney+ subscription
"Looking for more reasons for fans of marvel to cancel their Disney+, this is the way!" wrote one person. "Marvel is the only reason I still have a [Disney+] subscription! Disrespect [Stan Lee], I am outta here!"
Anger
"Disney doesn't deserve to have any part of marvel if they take out the tributes to the people who made any of it possible," another person reacted to the tribute removals.
Disney accused of only caring about money
"Disney only cares about money and nothing else," somebody else accused. "They couldn't care less about their audience nowadays."
Possible explanations
"My reckoning is this: They were timely tributes that happened close to when they passed. Now that time has passed, they may think the tributes are unnecessary," one person suggested. "Eventually everybody in the credits is gonna be dead, should there be a tribute added everytime?"
Calls to boycott Disney
"F- Disney. It is not the company I grew up with," commented somebody else, with another adding, "Let us boycott Disney plus."
