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

Lol at being concerned about the convenience of watching a TV show via a streaming service. You're on your own with that one.
Yeah, it's not like previous MCU movies haven't been decent about catching you up on basic details if you missed something. The only movie that really struggles with this is probably Civil War.
What? Critics are going to be mad that they have to do "more" work? This is a weak argument.
Before it would be "Hey, Black Widow has a new haircut, what's that about? Guess we'll never find out"
Now it'll be, "Hey, Black Widow has the same haircut that she had in the Black Widow Disney+ series, I know exactly what she was doing between the last movie."
I don't see how that's a bad thing.
wtf dude? I'm legitimately trying to have a conversation with you. If you read my entire post you'll see I'm accepting your points have merit, but are still worth discussing based on history.
edit: oh and thanks for editing your post to not say I'm concern trolling anymore.
You really think they are going to pull that much from the shows? Your average viewer (and critic) will be able to understand the movies without having seen the shows. Knowing the shows will just give you more context for some things.
He's trying to get my precious bodily fluids with this making the Tv shows matter horseshit. We should protest!!!!
Yep. I wasn't expecting Ant-Man 2 tell a lot about Infinity War or what was going to happen to Endgame, I went because I liked Ant-Man and I wanted see the The Wasp. I got fun scenes with characters I'm invested. That's why I never watched Thor Dark World and only consider the to like him with Ragnarok.
And we're having that conversation now. I think your concern is silly, and I said why; people who want to consume it all will do so conveniently.
If my soon-to-be 50 year old mother can get a handle on this stuff, I'm not about to hold my breath on this being some great struggle for anybody.
The masses haven't kept up with watching every single MCU movie either. Far more people watched Endgame than they saw Thor: The Dark World. The latter ended up being pretty important for the former. Yet, I don't think anyone was confused by the scenes of Thor and his mother.
The general public seems to roll with all this continuity a lot easier than the people who have kept up, but are concerned about how the masses will deal, tend to think.
Not surprising. I mean wasn't it already confirmed that Wandavision was connected to Doctor Strange 2 for one? Plus stuff like
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Hawkeye are going to bring in new status quos basically (Sam probably becoming the new Captain America and Kate coming in to become the new Hawkeye).
Maybe it won't be a big deal for at least most cases if you skip out however.

It's almost like these are two different groups of people complaining about different things lol
So then Feige isn't really right about needing to get Disney+ to understand the upcoming movies? Like, it's kind of an over exaggeration.
If I was Disney I might consider firing Feige over this tbh. A smart person would know that the Disney Plus shows should be pointless and irrelevant.
I mean didn't people want the shows and movies connected? That was one of the biggest problems with netflix marvel. It was like some side universe. They arent going to make things central to the story hidden behind disney plus shows but there will probably be crossover with characters and references to events of the shows.
I'd be really curious to see what the crossover is between the two, lol
"understand everything"
That is the key phrase people seem to be missing.
Yep because it expects you to see everything up to that point and even then, the conflict is dropped in favor of the Bucky stuff.
Marvel movie plots are simple so not really. There may be a few conversations here and there that wouldnt make sense but that's it.
Yeah Civil War is the only one that's tough to come into if you missed something because that movie pulls shit from a bunch of movies, honestly.
$7 times 3 still less than price of the 4 films they put out a year max
doesn't even factor in you can just meet up with friends and watch it on someone else's account (or realistically account sharing)
Hm, yeah, you're right. So it's really no different than usual. "Check out the extra stuff if you want."
And that is all he is saying! People are really making a mountain out of a mole hill here.
Sure, fire the guy responsible for making billions in profits for your company.
He said you'd need to be subscribed to understand everything.
That's always been true of the movies. There's a grey area between "I haven't seen all the movies, but I understand more than enough to enjoy the latest addition" and "I've seen all the movies and understand everything happening".
I really want to know how many people here upset about this were just as upset when the Netflix stuff didn't connect to the movies.
You can pay for 1 month a year, and binge all the MCU content, and pay less than one movie ticket. How did your price go up that much? In 2 years, you'll have 4 MCU series to watch (Hawkeye, Falcon, Wandavision, and What If?) that you can binge in on month, and that would be like 30 hours of content, which about half of the current total amount of content in the MCU. For 6-10 dollars. It's actually an amazing deal, if you only buy disney+ for a month or 2.
The reason Phase 3 was so friendly because while Civil War was the basis to everything, it honestly felt first time friendly, also helped that Panther kinda addresses it but it's is own thing, Strange and Cap Marvel as well. Spidey kinda counts too.
It doesn't matter that it costs less. The point is you're paying that in addition to the movie tickets. It's not an either or situation. It's in addition to what you're already paying. The price of admission for the full experience just went up. It's smart of Disney but let's recognize what it is here.
If you want to understand *everything* then you should probably watch *everything*. But watching a Marvel movie has never required having total background knowledge either. A lot of times its actually been moments where people didn't know what was happening (Nick Fury tag at the end of Iron Man, Thanos tag at the end of Avengers, Captain Marvel tag at the end of Infinity War) that end up fueling hype.
lol
But there's also hours more content and you can watch other non marvel stuff on Disney + so it's not an issue imo
I mean, his quote is that you'll need to watch the shows to understand everything. Not "you need to watch the TV shows to be able to understand the base plot of the movie". It sounds more like he's saying the Disney+ shows will be for the MCU completionists who want to understand every small reference.
He's making the TV shows matter... how much of a stupid asshole can he be? Who wants these shows to mean anything? No one! Just a pure ego trip from someone who clearly doesn't understand what he's doing.
You might not be able to do that if you want to watch all the films in the theater though. They're going to spread that content out throughout the year and some of that content is going to fit in before specific movies. So you're going to at least need to subscribe to multiple months.
