Part 6/9:
This case is not isolated. It recalls a 2019 incident where Disney denied a father’s request to etch Spider-Man on his son’s gravestone, citing the preservation of 'magic' over parental grief. These stories collectively paint a picture of a corporate giant increasingly detached from ethical responsibilities, prioritizing intellectual property and brand image above all else.
The current lawsuit draws comparisons to longstanding legal myths—like the infamous McDonald’s coffee case—where corporations are compelled to take responsibility after avoiding it initially. Many see this Disney case as a reflection of a broader societal trend where big corporations attempt to evade accountability through legal technicalities, expecting public outrage to fade quickly.
