Apple has invested $6B in creation of original content for Apple TV+ and it's mostly still in dev. I am going to use Foundation as a benchmark for the service. I've seen a few doco's and a couple of shows recently that were pretty good quality. I have to admit that Ted Lasso was one of the best shows I've seen. So damn heartwarming. Hard to compare Apple TV+ to other services who have stocked their backlog with non-original content... On an Apples-to-Apples (ha) comparison of original content from Netflix and Amazon to Apple TV+, then Apple are definitely coming in last place right now... No contest to that - I just think they haven't hit their stride yet. (Edit: I should note - I got a year for free from buying an iPad - so I'm not biased due to a subscription spend to support the service). If you are not getting it free through a purchase, chances are you are not getting it. I am really ticked off because we bought two iphone 11s last year and somehow this was not included. I am not saying it is bad, i am sure it is great one of my closest friends is a writer on one of their shows), but i am not paying for it. It is the distribution method that is a failure.

Did apple amazon netflix end up with Fox or Star wars? first off, star wars was bought eons ago before either was the powrhouse they are now and Fox, at least due to x-men, etc., was worth more to disney than other companies. what does disney need another super hero universe for?

I actually like the contrast between Marvel and DC films, and disagree strongly with the vitriolic criticism against Zack Snyder, a very talented filmmaker.

All the "I don't like DC" Marvel snobs will suddenly become fans of the formerly DC characters This Marvel snob has been rooting for DC to get their media properties right. I'd love to learn more about their stable of characters and figure out if any are worth me digging into more besides Batman who I know I like and already collect. I don't think, or at least I hope, these properties truly blend into one shared universe but I wouldn't mind seeing DC/Marvel crossovers again. And getting a DC/Marvel crossover in a film would of course be epic as hell. But there is some risk here for fans too. I think DC would release more titles under Disney as Marvel has been lately but would the properties be forever bundled going forward? What happens when people pull back a bit on all these superfilms as they inevitably will? What if they're both sold to a company that is very invested in taking them digital only? While I would like to see DC invested in more on the print/publishing side by whatever parent they end up under ultimately, whether they move or not, I don't think Marvel and DC being under the same roof would be ideal for fans. I think that's too much consolidation of important characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can learn all you want about DC characters right now. They've been publishing comic books for decades.

It was dud after dud and i kept thinking the next one would be good but nope. Poppins was the last straw. All the recent SW stuff has been awful! except for Mando, most of that was cool. They wasted great opportunities with the OG even if they were going to use some new characters! In truth, I think SW has held its hat mostly upon ESB and ANH. ROTJ was pretty bad, but it looks like citizen kane, compared to the Prequels and sequels! snitzer and kav 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serling1978 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I have zero desire to see the DC characters interact with the Marvel characters. Maybe even less than zero. Negative 5000 desire. Marvel has decades worth of great source material and characters to be used in the MCU. Trying to work in DC guys and gals would be unnecessarily mucking that up. I would pay money to prevent this from happening. At least tens of dollars. 🤑 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalk that up to John Favreau’s involvement. He’s been responsible for a ton of the MCU success and knows how to appeal to fandom without being preachy or pushing an ideology in the films...at least not blatantly. It seems like a majority of the writers and directors of the other franchises would rather push an agenda HotKey, Comics4All, kav and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
