The only thing I have seen on Disney+ is the Mandalorian, that’s it. I think it’s definitely not for me...
I actually do prefer the vibe and more exploration grounds offered by ATV+ for me: I’ll take Losing Alice, Defending Jacob, Servant to name a few besides the usual known ones before yet another patronizing “all your problems can be solved once you get super powers and the let’s add some super problems” trope.
True, if they owned DC as well as Marvel, they would be classed monopolistic, having a large portion of the market share. They own all the important IP's, the ones that make the most money and have the greatest amount of merchandise, especially toys.They don’t own NBC Universal, Warner, Sony, and Paramount to name a few large studios. Not really close to a monopoly.
A lot of Marvel IP they don't control. For instance, one of the big Marvel cash cows, Spider-Man, is controlled by Sony.True, if they owned DC as well as Marvel, they would be classed monopolistic, having a large portion of the market share.

There are other film studios, but they don't generate anywhere the $ that Disney does.
Jeeze, that argument is so old and flawed. At last estimate, only about 20% (Google it if you must).How many of them are still on that free year from verizon ?
Keep up with the times. Disney just signed a deal with Sony to get their back catalog titles like the Spider-man films onto Disney+.A lot of Marvel IP they don't control. For instance, one of the big Marvel cash cows, Spider-Man, is controlled by Sony.
And DC can blame themselves for making crappy movies and TV shows.
It’s not though… The TV App is one of the few things they provide on other platforms.Only if they keep services like this locked into the Apple ecosystem when they don't need to be.
If Apple want TV+ to be successful they should spin it out as a separate production company and remove Tim Cook’s ability to decide or veto what content is made. Hi brow documentaries about mental health are laudable projects but they are never going to appeal to the mass market.Will ATV+ go down in history as 's greatest blunder?
Might go down as one of their most expensive blunders. They must be spending a fortune on content production with very little revenue coming in so far. All depends on how many free trials they can turn into paid subscriptions.Will ATV+ go down in history as 's greatest blunder?
Despite your snarky retort, you seem to have missed the point.Keep up with the times. Disney just signed a deal with Sony to get their back catalog titles like the Spider-man films onto Disney+.
It's complicated: https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2021...ans-complicated-history-with-disney-and-sony/Despite your snarky retort, you seem to have missed the point.
The point is that Disney doesn't own Spider-Man IP. You even wrote it yourself. Disney "signed a deal". Sony still controls the IP, and will continue to control that IP, but Disney paid Sony big bux to get access. This is pretty much the opposite of a monopoly.
LOL @ D+‘s lack of fresh content making you actually check out Apple TV+. And yeah, MQ is pretty fun. Actually, for starting from scratch, their content is pretty decent. Just need a lot more - which is their plan, obviously. Content. Takes. Time.Pretty good strategy, the only thing that kept me on D+ was watching all futurama, other than that, seen most of it and actually started watching Apple Tv. Discovered a whole season off Mythic Quest and binged it just before the dropped season two. Nerdy fun. HBO The Nevers is ok if you're into that sort of stuff.
Interestingly Sony had the chance to buy the rights for all of Marvel for just $25 million back in the day (well maybe more than that but you get the gist), but Sony didn't think it was worth it and just stuck with Spider-Man, which cost them $10 million.
Most of Netflix's original content is crap.This isn't some giant feat. This literally is a giant with feet.
Post cites "The Mandalorian," "WandaVision," and "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" as the pulling elements to this streaming service. I'd actually think the major pull is the brand loyalty more than anything, just like when you see the same family romping around Disneyland for the 35th time in a year, with all family members paying over a thousand dollars for an annual pass.
Netflix has hundreds of original content busting out the gates constantly, whereas Disney seems to lack anything new aside from ... well... those 3 shows and a few films that couldn't show in theaters due to covid.
Disney will get well beyond 200m subscribers. And it's because of the brand.
Sinking fast or re-launching. Bought a lot of Apple stock in 90s, still have most of it and it has done very well over the years.Made in the mid-90's? The ship is sinking fast and they're making custom sneakers?
It's a wonder they made it to the millennium.
They still have the free trial in the US, but you only have 7 days until it turns into a billed subscription.Disney stopped their free trial, at least in North America, Australia and a few other countries.
