TV/Movies Megathread

[Liep]

Aren't they all going to end now that Marvel will be streamed from Disney+?

The last Daredevil season was actually rather good, at least it went out on a high note.

This confirms that Marvel at Netflix is over though, we'll get the next seasons of Jessica Jones (whose showrunner has already said it's leaving the show afterwards) and Punisher and that it will be it. A pity. I vastly prefer them to the Arrowverse/Supergirl stuff and the current Disney Marvel shows.

Aren't Arrow and Supergirl DC, though?

Also, I look at the "In development" section over at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney%2B and notice there's not really much in original concepts ... 3 Men and a Baby, Don Quixote, Father of the Bride, Honey I shrunk the Kids, Parent Trap, Peter Pan, The Sword in the Stone ... I'm happy to see that Clone Wars will get its 7th season. Its closure was rather rushed when Disney took over. Some of the canceled episodes were far in development, and the plots are considered canon. Some of them were released in comic form (like the Darth Maul stuff).

I was comparing the Netflix Marvel universe to other superhero TV franchises. It had slipped in quality lately but it was still the best superhero stuff on TV.

Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, they were all originals back then?

I find it ironic in an Alanis Morissette way; that the Millennials who were bragging about saving costs by cord-cutting now have to pay an arm and a leg to all the different streaming companies, + high speed internet access to watch everything they want to watch.

No, but Disney seems to be regurgitating stuff they've covered before now.

Still cheaper than cable.

I'd get high speed internet anyway, and the streaming services are still cheaper than the most basic cable plan (and offer way more that I want to watch than cable ever did).

HBO is 8€/month over here, Netflix is 13€/month if you want 4K... So yeah, I can subscribe to several platforms and still save a bunch compared to the old TV packages (I used to pay 80€/month for mine) with vastly more convenience and choice. I'm sure the millennials will be fine.

How much do all those services run in your area? Anything other than basic cable is pretty pricey here. A couple of streaming services and broadband internet is economical.

Especially since everyone is paying for broadband internet anyway.

[Habbaku]

Right. Are you really going to get cable and not get broadband internet? Internet access isn't something to be accounted for when comparing all the streaming services vs. cable.
