Kevin Feige: "You'll probably need a Disney+ subscription to understand everything in future Marvel movies"

This is EXACTLY what I want to hear! Music to my ears :)
I like the MCU just fine, but I was so sad that the shows felt so disconnected from it. Seeing them go out of their way to address this criticism makes me so happy!!

He's showing off, isn't it obvious oh look I can make TV shows and make them matter... who wants that! Who wants Tv shows that are at all relevant or build a greater world, no one but an arrogant elitist who thinks he knows what the people really want.
Then you pay 6 bucks to watch all of wandavision and loki before you see DS 2. oh noes. 6 bucks for 16 hours MCU quality tv shows..... (that's 8 times as long as DS2, which you'll pay 15 dollars to see.)
This. This is entirely our 'fault' for always wishing the Marvel series or the Agent of SHIELD series would connect with the MCU.
I'm not saying it's an issue. I'm pointing out as a Marvel fan, Disney has found a way to extract even more money out of you on a per customer basis. I'm not faulting Disney. I'm not saying it's a huge issue either, but we can at least all recognize that the price of admission has gone up if you want to keep up. Dismissing that it costs less than a movie ticket isn't really meaningful when it's an additional cost and a cost you'll have to likely do multiple times per year.
But if these were movies instead of TV shows wouldn't the cost go up even further because now there's even more movies? 🤔
This was pretty much already known, I'm guessing they are pushing this hard since we are in a launch window.
Edit: I guess it wasn't widely known? Feige has been pushing for months that Disney + was going to be integrated into the MCU and they are all inter connected.
I'm a simple man. I just want the Dare Devil TV show back...I've wound up watching the last few MCU movies with some friends at midnight screenings (a couple of my friends are huge comic book fans), but I'm personally indifferent towards them. I like them well and fine, but I've never been dying to see them, and there are still a few movies that I haven't seen through Phase III.
I'll be fine Kevin, the plots in Marvel movies aren't so complicated I can't connect the dots even when I miss some of the movies/shows which is already the case, super hero fatigue did that to me already. Do not worry Kevin, I'll be fine without a D+ subscription.
I'm just really pissed off now because Feige is forcing me against my will to watch these and I don't want to but I have no choice, he literally controls my life.
There is no free will anymore, Feige wrote it out of the universe because he's a prick.
If you already aren't watching all the movies and just picking and choosing then this doesn't even affect you in the slightest bit. The TV shows only work to enrichen the experience just like watching all the movies before Endgame does. It isn't necessary to understand the future movies.
How it should be tbh. Would be amazing if we could transition to an MCU where most of the main characters have more series and the occasional movie, instead of the forced trilogies for only the big hitters
We think this is a bad thing?
Disney+ is certainly the cheapest way to view the MCU.
7$ and the whole family can watch it at home.
Hell, a year of Disney+ is cheaper than a single night at the cinema for a family of 4.

imagine getting this angry about children's superhero movies lmao
Excuse me we find the movies entertaining! Who said we want entertaining TV shows that build up things?! WHY WOULD WE WANT THAT?!
So you'd rather not have these shows...because they provide another product that you have to spend money on?
Why bother going to the movies at all at that point.
Some people are just acting like what Feige said is an attack on their intelligence, which is really stupid.
I think fans were upset that the netflix didn't connect..and I think people looking for reasons to get off the MCU ship is upset that the shows connect to the Movies.
Expected. The Marvel train has left the zeltgeist station, who's ever gonna be a fan is a fan already, besides the incoming younger generations, everyone else is either too casual to care or too hard core to give up. And the Marvel franchise has probably the most amount of potential hardcores (because everyone loves Mar El movies) in the world so yeah it makes sense.
Who is angry? It's a smart way of Disney to get people to subscribe to their service. I'm already committed for 3 years and would have paid for 10 if the option was available. It just seemed weird to hand waive it being less than a movie ticket when you're paying more per year now and if done right, it'll actually cost you more than a movie ticket because you'd have to do it for multiple months.
Did I say that? Point to me where I did. Like I said above, I'm already paid for on the service. I'm already in. People seem awfully defensive of acknowledging that if you're a Marvel fan, the price of admission went up.
The budget for the MCU D+ shows are $25 million per episode, which is more expensive than Game of Thrones. I'm pretty sure the budget for an entire series is almost the same as a single film.
Right, and when they went from 1-2 movies a year to 3 the price of admission for the full experience went up too. When there are more things to watch, you pay more to watch them.
Wrote it out like we can't just write off $6 maybe twice a year to see optional content for an optional movie that we enjoy!
We're gonna get our first 4 MCU movies year soon, and we're gonna have to pay for that fourth movie! Imagine!
Or you can be smack dab in the middle and watch some of their movies and shows.
Wait this is news to people?
Seriously?
They went over this several times at the original Disney+ announcement and then again at Comic-Con.

Yeah, my interest in Marvel stuff has been on a downward spiral anyway. I can't keep up with them and I like to enjoy things like this in order. No way I'm ever gonna catch up.

Honestly this is just more evidence that Feige is a neoliberal hack who doesn't know what art and cinema is. Fuck bet if you ask the jerk about Godfather Part II he'll probably tell you it's the dude you choose to witness your second born's christening, and not even mention you know Martin Scorsese's greatest film.
LOL people in this thread acting like the movies won't come to Disney+ a few months later. You don't have to pay for tickets if you're already subbed.
I mean, yes, you did.
Like...I will never understand the argument of, "ugh, there's MORE I HAVE TO BUY?!?!" Do you even want these shows? How is providing another product on their platform some sort of affront to interested parties?
Movie studios scheming how to produce content that drives people to the box office regularly? Not in my Hollywood!
You don;t get it, it;s not optional., it's mandatory. He's ruining our lives, he's eating our fucking future babies (who is going to have time for sex anymore!) to fuel his perverse need to create a few TV shows that matter.
No I didn't. That in no way says I don't want these shows to exist. It's me recognizing how Disney is leveraging the popularity of the MCU to not only expand their revenue but to attract people to their new service. It's a good business decision for them. Recognizing that doesn't mean I don't want the content to exist.
Stop ignoring that if you want to watch the movie on opening night, you'll have to pay more! I'm not angry about that fact though, I'm just sharing it for everyone's benefit here.
