The Chapek specialty! Cut the upfront budget and pay through the nose later to maintain it.

- Marvel Studios’ “What If...?" Season 2 - Episode 9Well thank you for this image that will haunt my nightmares! It’s interesting though; people call the faces “projected” but you can’t project onto a black background . . . this looks more like a 3D molded screen that’s been turned off.
And now I get that they look uncanny because the faces are illuminated from within while the bodies are lit from the outside, so they don’t look like they belong to the same person.

Dave Filoni Named Chief Creative Officer at Lucasfilm
While speaking with Vanity Fair, Filoni revealed that he has been appointed as chief creative officer at Lucasfilm. This places him into the development process much earlier and in a much more expansive capacity than his previous advisory duties. “In the past, in a lot of projects I would be brought into it, I would see it after it had already developed a good ways,” Filoni told the site.
Filoni will now work more directly with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and alongside Carrie Beck, a veteran producer turned head of development, to originate and shepherd the next generation of Star Wars shows and movies. “In this new role, it’s opened up to basically everything that’s going on,” Filoni says. “When we’re planning the future of what we’re doing now, I’m involved at the inception phase.”
In 2008, Filoni served as director of the Star Wars: The Clone Warsanimated feature film, and the supervising director of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series. He served as an executive producer of Star Wars Rebels, which debuted in the fall of 2014, alongside Greg Weisman and Simon Kinberg. For the first two seasons, he also served as its supervising director.
Filoni would then go on to dominate and spearhead a new collection of live-action Star Wars projects for Disney+, which includes The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and the upcoming Skeleton Crew.

Interesting. Someone posted on the Disneyland forum and commented that DL didn't have the wayfinding signs that WDW has. They definitely don't have signs like you posted above.

I hold his FF/New Avengers/Avengers/Secret Wars as some of my favorite modern Marvel stuff. I didn't care as much for his X-men refresh, although I liked the some of the bigger ideas like Orchis.
You would think they just go that route, and they might, but it seems like a lot of the rumors are for the MCU to just pivot away from Kang all together. But again, rumors are just rumors ... We may know more when Deadpool 3 is released as the 'rumors' on its' plot involve the TVA forming a multiversal superhero team in preparation for the war with Kang

I did not follow his FF, though what I saw of it didn't appeal to me. It really got away from the core idea. I did read his Avengers, and while I liked it at first, by the time it came down to Secret Wars it had just degenerated into a mess. He makes things too complicated - comics shouldn't need back matter to be understandable. I can forgive that stuff though, but he destroyed the X-Men, practically making them evil. Philosophically, that was anathema to me. I mean, whatever, it's not like there has been an actual good X-Men story in about 30 years anyway, but at least most of them were still decent people.
