Part 4/9:
This lawsuit echoes past stories where Disney’s corporate decisions raised ethical eyebrows—like denying a father permission to etch Spider-Man on his child’s gravestone, claiming it would "destroy the magic." Here, critics see an alarming pattern: Disney appears to prioritize protecting its brand over consumer safety and accountability.
The case also touches on the controversial legal notion that corporate entities are, in some ways, "persons" with rights exceeding those of individual consumers. The Trump-era Citizens United decision, which equated corporations to individuals for certain legal reasons, becomes relevant when examining Disney's legal stance.
