      The reason is how lawyer fees are being paid. In the US both sides pay their own lawyers while in (most of) Europe the losing side pays the lawyers of both sides. This allows US corporations to sue small businesses or individuals into bankruptcy with cases they could ultimately never win.

      @ doesn’t seem like they can. They only seem capable of focusing on a few things. Now, they are focusing on reboots and sequels because the execs felt that Turning Red and Luca were failures despite not having theatrical releases. Also, their lawyers defending Disney on the grounds that someone downloaded Disney+ and agreed to the terms and conditions therein agreeing to binding arbitration when their legal concern is about a woman’s death only further demonstrates a clear lack of enterprise cohesion. The marketing and PR department should never have allowed such a defense to be raised which diminishes customer relations and decreases trust. In fact, pretty much all of Disney’s actions of late have been in the interest of shareholders at the expense of the brand’s image and reputation.

      @@GwydionFrost That's the thing, though, the top 1% has more than 100x the money of a lot of people. The wealth distribution curve is practically exponential. Even excluding the fact that nearly every corporation would be even higher than this, the 99th percentile net worth in the US is well over 10 million, so something like 40% of all US citizens fall below the 100k net worth where they would be protected from any civil suits by the 1%, and even some multi-millionaires would be unsuable by billionaires and very large corporations. Doing this would disincentivize wealth hoarding and large corporations, because becoming too big would make it completely impossible to sue people for breaches of your intellectual property.

      I will fully admit, I'm very left leaning. I think it's entirely fucked that wealth disparities of more than three or four orders of magnitude can even exist in the first place. I will admit, if you get lucky and do literally everything right, it is possible to become a millionaire through hard work. My dad grew up working class, and by being incredibly frugal, getting a good education, and getting a well paying job, he recently retired with just over a million in total assets. But unless you are a Henry Ford level innovator, it's just not possible to actually earn much more than 10 million in a human lifetime on your own merits, and I don't think people with much more than that should be allowed to take other people's money. On the other side, plenty of people are fucked into debt and have no financial support from their families, and I don't think anyone should be able to kick them while they're down. The whole thing of it being morally fine to steal bread from Wallmart. So, yeah, disallowing lawsuits if the plaintiff has multiple orders of magnitude more money than the defendant would do so much to give more class equality in the world.

    Thanks for the nostalgic goose bumps! As a swede in my 40's I grew up reading Donald Duck comics (Don Rosa was my favorite artist with Carl Barks coming in a close second). Man, those were the days 😄
    Then, as I grew up as a teenager I found other stuff, like Arne Anka (and later others like Rocky and Elvis, but Arne was the OG), and this video brought back so many memories!
    I love the way he handled the Disney lawsuit. I mean, if I had worked for Disney at that time I'd have to give it to him. It was brilliant 👌

    I met Charlie Christensen i the mid 90ies and he was contemplating taking a break from Arne (who had started in the early 80ies in a Union magazine for Metal workers union). he felt as he was living in Spain he had lost some touch with the contemporary issues of Sweden that made the drunken ramblings of Arne so poignant. He did indeed take a log hiatus from the comic not long after that. For me Arne was essential reading in the early 90ies when the monthly strips were publish in paperback issues. Eventhough I was a teenager/early 20ies and perhaps couldn't always understand the "life on hold" mind set of Arne, the humour and the political/philosophical side always hit home.
    Is is as essential as Strindberg, Hemingway and Hunter S. Thompson.

To this day, ever time Howard appears someone comments "It's a duck wearing pants!" with Howard responding "I've always worn pants (According to my lawyers)"
      Though there's also the 90's crossover event where in a thrown together crossover featuring Spiderman, Howard, Destroyer Duck and Savage Dragon, in the savage dragon part of the crossover it's stated that Destroyer mannaged to grab the real Howard, leaving a clone behind and so plastic surgery time, though with the main emphasis being to dye Howard's feathers green so he could go on as Leonard the Duck.

    I remember back in the 80's, I had an actual Donald Duck comic book where he accidentally got high on ether, tripped balls and crashed his car.. I remember thinking it was hilarious.

      This is something I wish I emphasized more - the artwork is superb. I noticed when researching this that there is quite a lot of stylistic drift, especially in the early years, but that’s just kind of charming. Once it finds its footing, it’s one of the most beautifully drawn comics I’ve seen. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    Another thing that may surprize americans is that it is Donald Duck and not Mickey Mouse who gets his own magazine in Scandinavia. Mickey is after all almost the embodyment of Disney around the world - well not in Scandinavia. Mickey is too perfect and he frankly seems a bit too clean and booring for scandinavian audiences. Donald Duck by contrast is actually interesting - he has a real life he is trying to live, he has money problems, anger problems, a somewhat fickle girlfriend he is trying to please, as well as problems with living up to be the parent he ought to be - real problems that people can relate to, but dialed up to 10.

      I seem to recall there was a brief period Mickey had his own magazine too, long after Donald had entrenched himself in Scandinavian culture. It didn't last long, or the sieve I use for a brain is leaking again.

      As a Swede, I completely agree. Ive never been fond of Mickey cause he feels way too squeaky clean, he's too morally perfect and that makes it boring (Mickey barely or doesn't even have any flaws, if he does they don't matter). I love Donald duck cause he has real struggles, he has real flaws and he feels much more like a real character as opposed to some 1 dimensional stick like Mickey.

    I'm Swedish and when I was a kid me and my two best friends were obsessed with Donald Duck (Kalle Anka), probably me more than them. We used to trade old issues of Kalle Anka & C:O with each other and go to our local "loppis" to buy old issues. I can't think about my childhood without thinking of Kalle Anka. Kalle Anka was everything for a brief while.

His eyes closed for that really takes it home that he's not paying attention at all...
