I'm on Defenders when it comes to reaching Daredevil before season 4 Born Again, a unique sequel series that allows them to pay less and man... I forgot how boring this show is.
One of their biggest mistakes was making Madame Gao, built up as this mysterious, proficient badass that should’ve been the main antagonist to our characters, only second fiddle to Sigourney Weaver’s character, who spends about 2/3 of the series not doing much else except walking around/standing and speechifying
before getting unceremoniously offed by Elektra. A lot of the money spent to pay for her being in the show could’ve been used towards more epic and exciting action set pieces instead of…whatever it is that we got.
I mean, how the f**k do you waste Sigourney Weaver?

Favreau? Filoni? Feige? Here's what insiders are saying about who will — and should — become Disney's new 'Star Wars' emperor: "There is no credible alternative."

Lol both of those seem like poor choices.
-Favreau seems like more of the kind of guy who likes having the freedom to be able to do whatever he likes and not be tied down to something for a super long period of time, so probably not him.
-Filoni is a creative person, not a businessman, and despite any misgivings I might have with his not so good live action efforts and catering/kowtowing to giving fans what they want, is too much of a valuable asset where he is to give up that position, so not him.
-Kevin Feige, whatever you think of him, is way too busy overseeing the MCU and trying to put that back on track, so definitely not him.
-JJ Abrams, after all the backlash that he got for TROS, is the most likely to not come back.
-Emma Watts seems like the best and most likely choice. She has tons of experience heading up and overseeing the making and developing of many films, and once before worked at 20th Century Fox (now 20th Century Studios), so it would be like kind of a reunion for her.
-Hannah Minghella is already overseeing a lot of the animated feature stuff over at Netflix, which is probably why that platform has gotten so much great animated content, so she’s way too invaluable to leave that position.
In regards to the combo option, if it absolutely had to come to it, I could see a similar situation to George Lucas/Kathleen Kennedy with Lucasfilm where Dave Filoni is the creative ideas guy and face of the company but Emma Watts is there beside him guiding, influencing and challenging him to make the best decisions possible on what to develop and produce so the company tries new and different things as well and not just over-rely on and constantly call back to what we have seen before.
I would prefer just Emma Watts, but Dave Filoni/Emma Watts is probably the next best option if they absolutely had to do it.
