Ha. No. That’s called the rationale for giving the bonus. Tax reform is what enabled them to give the bonus. What were they supposed to do? Just say, “Here’s a bonus. Just because. No, it has nothing to do with Trump or the GOP tax bill. Nothing whatsoever. Just felt like giving you one at the exact same time everyone else is because tax reform means we have more money to do so.” Come on...

Good for Disney, but a lot of companies have also made no effort to hide the fact they've earmarked those cuts for their shareholders and executives.

But this is all irrelevant to the topic.

You are mostly correct. Tangentially relevant, but barely. Moving on...

Isn't it still a while before this tax bill actually kicks in?

It doesn't matter what a company's political leanings might be, they all want to pay less taxes, all of 'em. And if they get the chance to pay less taxes, they'll take and if they think a thank you gesture might help them to continue to pay less taxes, especially if/ when the people in power might change. If they think that will help, they will do that.

Huh. io9 posted it as if it was recent news.

Yeah, its odd lol. I guess they didn't see the date in the article they're using for reference.

[Purplevit]

Gambit's release date is June 7 2019.
February is an old one.

For now. We'll see what happens with that date.

Are they actually working on the Gambit movie this time. I mean, really working on it as in "things are being filmed and costumes are being made" instead of the usual "we'd kind of like to make a Gambit movie and here are the people we'd kind of like to do it,"?

Looks like the Kitty movie could be based on Uncanny X-Men #143:

They are doing something. They've hired people like costume designers and stunt coordinators and there's a script of some sort. How far they've gotten, don't know.
