The SNL skit sparked some major controversy, but none more from their husband, Kanye West. Posting nearly 20 pictures on Super Bowl Sunday to call out Pete Davidson’s relationship with his wife, Kanye West also singled out Bob Iger, The Walt Disney Company, and their “ruined” treatment of Star Wars and Marvel:

In a now-deleted Instagram post, Ye wasted no time in calling out The Walt Disney Company’s previous CEO, Bob Iger, claiming that the Mouse House “wasted” their “money on Star Wars and Marvel because even though it makes you money, you will never control the high schools.”
It is unclear what Ye refers to when he mentions “high schools.” Still, West is very unhappy with Disney’s treatment of the sequel trilogy in Star Wars and Multiverse breakthrough in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Many Marvel fans are calling the current social media feud between Ye, Kim Kardashian, and Pete Davidson a “Civil War,” often replacing their faces with that of Chris Evans (Captain American), Robert Downey, Jr. (Iron Man), and more in the Captain America: Civil War (2016) movie poster.

There is little reported information on why Ye would single out Bob Iger (or perhaps Bob Chapek) and Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm and Marvel Studios, but the overall Disney connected ties back to Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson’s Aladdin (1992) skit on Saturday Night Live.

That’s not all because Disney+ just announced their original streaming series, The Kardashians, that’s hitting Disney+ in the U.K., and the Hulu streaming service in the U.S. on April 14, 2022.
The series’ announcement in itself sparked controversy, as many claims that the Kardashians don’t necessarily fit the Disney code. Still, considering how popular Keeping Up with the Kardashians has been for the last decade, The Kardashians on Disney+ will surely draw significant crowds.

Nonetheless, Disney’s purchase of Lucasfilm from George Lucas and Marvel Studios has proven to be one of the most profitable business ventures in Hollywood history.
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) alone has grossed nearly $2 billion at the box office. Considering the massive success that The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett have been on Disney+, Bob Iger knew precisely what to do once the Mouse House had control of these beloved intellectual properties.
