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.
Just read the wiki pages. The alternative is these characters don't show up in the movies.Well the complete MCU won't be on Disney+ for a while (or never counting Spider-Man) but yeah. For most people who hate the sound of what Feige is saying I think its more of a time investment than a price of admission thing.
What about Age of Ultron..?Where are all those people from the Scorsese thread talking about how marvel isn't hurting cinema
This already sucked when they did it with Age of Ultron.
This is more or less my take. All of the Marvel movies can exist alone and some can be skipped, seeing them all just furthers the lore, not the plot of the movie you're watching. It's easy to machete order the MCU down to about half of its movies or less and still know who everyone in a given movie is by the time you reach Endgame.Right, like how captain marvel and Ant-Man and the Wasp were totally essential for endgame (they really weren't) or how Far from home closed the arc of phase 3 (that's debatable at best).
How? If I told you that you could pay $7 once a year to watch over 30 hours of new MCU content that would seem like a bad deal?This is the most off-putting way to advertise not just Disney+, but streaming services in general.
As long as they keep making movies and shows that I really enjoy, they're welcome to.
The first Marvel show is a year away anyway.

You are assuming future parity
Isn't this what we were all asking for? Don't we want a Ms. Marvel, She Hulk, and Moonknight without having to wait up to a decade for a movie spot to open up? Don't we also want these characters to play roles in movies?
You made this this up so you dont have to see it. You can go into Black Panther without seeing any marvel movie. If you dont want to watch the films just say it, no reason to do this whole song and dance.It's the reason I haven't seen a single Marvel movie yet.
I was originally interested in Black Panther, but to understand what's going on I need to see Captain America Civil War, and that is the third Captain America movie so I need to see the two others. But the titular "civil war" refers to Captain America vs Iron Man, so to understand that I also need to see all the Iron Man movies. But in the middle, we also have Avengers movies which are the "big ones" that MUST be seen to understand any of these movies and there were two of them out at the time.
And that created a total of 8 pre-requisite movies before I can see Black Panther and that was before anyone had even thought of a Disney+ so it's quite difficult to watch all of them if I'm not paying full price for every Blu-ray so I just gave up.

Aside from its all-the-way-after-the-credits last scene, Black Panther is completely standalone. Given its box office you could probably assume many people who saw it never saw Civil War or any other Marvel movie.It's the reason I haven't seen a single Marvel movie yet.

Oh gosh we are enjoying more of the content we love for an affordable price whatever will we doooo
I'm probably going to still buy I just don't like some of these tactics they use to feel forced to buy.
I'm not a fan of stratifying content in general like this. I don't wanna have to pay a yearly fee to be able to understand some superhero blockbuster films that I'm gonna have to pay $30 to see at the end of the day anyway.How? If I told you that you could pay $7 once a year to watch over 30 hours of new MCU content that would seem like a bad deal?
I'm an ultra fan of the MCU but I really don't think this is a good idea, this just gonna alienate the general audience.
So comics make zero sense artistically?Marvel already had that FOMO vibe going on that they tried to push with the all-encompassing events. It even sucked me back after all these years (with Hickman's new X-Men stuff).
They steering the movies towards it is a move that makes sense for their capitalistic nature, and it has zero sense artistically. But: their target audience does not give two shits about that.
I'm curious if the production will be the same quality level as the movies. Time will tell but the pessimist in me says no.I love how people spent six years bitching that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and other shows didn't connect to the movies in any way and now they're actually doing it and it's suddenly a problem.
You pay like $15 a ticket to go see a Marvel movie in theaters but $6 a month to watch six episodes of TV with the same production values that's connected to said films is some kind of scam?
People seem to have a problem with it because, for some weird reason, they think the shows are required viewing to understand the movies.I'm probably going to still buy I just don't like some of these tactics they use to feel forced to buy.
Have you read the thread? Lots of people in here have a problem with this.
I agree with this so much.I'm not a fan of stratifying content in general like this. I don't wanna have to pay a yearly fee to be able to understand some superhero blockbuster films that I'm gonna have to pay $30 to see at the end of the day anyway.

That said I'mglad the shows will be incredibly relevant to the MCU.
"Understand everything" doesn't mean "be able to follow and enjoy". It'll probably be mostly transparent. But hey don't let me stop you from "fuck this I'm out" 😅
I sincerely doubt you won't be able to understand what is going on in the movies if you haven't seen the shows.I'm not a fan of stratifying content in general like this. I don't wanna have to pay a yearly fee to be able to understand some superhero blockbuster films that I'm gonna have to pay $30 to see at the end of the day anyway.
