If you're not a MCU fan then this doesn't affect you in any way. If you are an MCU fan then why wouldn't you want this?

Kevin Feige: "You'll probably need a Disney+ subscription to understand everything in future Marvel movies"
- Thread starter Kalmakov
- Start date
Thats my take but people are building artificial walls about how they wont understand if they dont watch everything
You have a damn hand computer in your fucking pocket. Watch a 5 minute recap gotdamn
Marvel is spending $25 million per episode. That's more than Game of Thrones ($10 million per episode) and way more than the dingy hallway fest of the Marvel Netflix shows.
If you're not that dedicated to the franchise than you won't have to pay a yearly fee and can pay for one month and get all the relevant content.
These shows will be for those instances in an MCU movie where a character says "hey remember that thing we did last month" and you go "what thing? that didn't happen in this movie" and they give a few lines to explain. Well now, on top of those few lines, you'll have a choice to watch a 6-9 hour show that'll explain those lines in greater detail. If you don't watch it then you'll be fine, but if you do watch it then you'll have a better understanding of the joke. Franchises have been doing this for ages with books, comics, one-shots, etc so it's nice that we will finally have that with the same actors and characters we've grown to know and like.
The Avengers attack on Hydra at the start was information given to them thru SHIELD via Agent Coulson in Agents of SHIELD.
The carrier Nick Fury has at the end that he "got from a friend" was from Agent Coulson who had SHIELD build it, also in Agents of SHIELD.
IDK why the guy you replied to thinks it sucked tho, IMO this is the perfect kind of its all connected. If you didn't watch AoS you're not really negatively affected, but if you did watch AoS it's just a little bit of clarity.
Some people want it, some don't.
It's not that hard to fathom and I don't see what's so toxic about people having differing opinions.
That is not what I wrote at all? I wrote: the MOVE makes zero sense artistically.
I choose not to understand anything.
I'll get Disney+ but I'll only check out some Marvel shit if I'm super bored.

Then it's a bit overselling to say the shows are necessary innit? Might as well say there will be more references to other media, which isn't all that out of the ordinary with a comic franchise.
The exact opposite: this will give the writers LESS freedom to do cool shit.
Why? Because their boundaries will be outside of their creative control.
But that is what he did say. "Understand everything" just means there will be mentions of what happened in the shows, much like how you don't have to watch every MCU film to understand what is going on in Avengers movies.
Lol I swear I was just typing something else. I mean .. there is a lot of that in everything . Separate art from the artist and all that.

I don't like X company but they just hired someone I love to helm a show that I want to see
I don't like X musician as an individual but their music still interests me *coughs in Kanye*
We make compromises on stuff like this all the time.
OT though if the show are good that's really all that matters. If they're a slog to get through... I doubt that though. They have perfected their formula at this point.If it's a $ sub thing then wait and use a free trial or pay for a month and binge. Or I mean... you know people will be sharing account logins
I thought it was something more, I dunno, specific than a couple of offhanded comments, haha. It didn't affect anyone not watching AOS, the events of the movies were only occasionally mentioned in the show when they happened (WS, AOU, etc) and the only real crossovers that were of any consequence were Fury, Sif and... that was it. for some reason y brain is telling me that Maria Hill showed up, yet at the same time that she didn't.
It really stands out when some of the posters complaining have been in multiple discussion threads for these Disney+ shows already discussing the contents of said shows, but are "surprised" by this announcement somehow.
You won't "need" to have a subscription. I'll just provide more backstory. The main plots will always be in the films.
Because not everyone has the time (or willpower) to watch several bland shows in addition to several bland movies just to keep updated on a single story.
I'm out lol
Ok nobody is forcing you now. Not every person that watched endgame watched Ant-Man and the wasp.
There shouldn't be a single doubt that Feigi is over selling this, he's trying to push subs for Disney+ and using his Branch at Disney to hype it up.
He said you'd need it to understand everything.
There's a gigantic chasm between "I understand everything" and "I understand enough to enjoy the movie".
Come on, y'all.
The first show is more than a year away, I doubt Disney+ won't be rolled out everywhere by then
lmao I'm sure you're absolutely gutted about not being able to keep up with what you describe as "bland" movies.
Whole thread is people who never gave a fuck complaining about why they will continue to not give a fuck
Are people seriously defending this with the "is just 7usd, there is a lot of content"?
I remind you that Disney+ isn't have a release date in a lot of country (my country included)
So even if a wanna pay for the service (which I don't wanna BTW) I can't do it because is not available in my country
Good move Disney

Meh. If Disney is going to rely on nothing but MCU and Star Wars original series, they're not going to drive a lot of growth.
Not convinced the MCU miniseries will be any decent either.

Do they have anything of note that looks enticing lined up or announced outside of those properties when it comes to original series? Nope. They've got re-imagined remakes of mediocre properties coming though.
Outside of their library and MCU + Star Wars, Disney+'s content is non existent.
Depends on your definition of "of note" is. They have series that may not entice you personally, but they are definitely not aiming for just MCU or Star Wars audiences.
The Netflix shows were criticised because they didn't tie in with the movies and now they're criticised because they tie in. They can't win.
It's obviously harder to write a film that needs to fit the continuity of 20 previous films and also has to dovetail into the plots of several upcoming future films that other people are simultaneously working on than it is writing a film that's self-contained, what do you mean "where am I getting this?"
The movies do stand on their own. Feige is a fan of movies being able to stand on their own, but having enough there that hardcore fans keep getting something out of it on their 2nd, 3rd, 10th rewatch. IIRC he loved knowing that everyone in the cantina had a name and backstory and whatnot.
Of course you didn't need to read that to enjoy ANH and SW, but if you did you got more into the lore. That's what these shows are for. You don't need to watch them, but for people who want to they'll get more out of the experience. These shows are just an expansion of the universe. There have been comics tie in that shows Black Widow apprehended the leader during TIH, for example.

There is a lot of Marvel and Star Wars, but it isn't the entire lineup.
That article has such a weird title like it's some risky bet. Disney's "Media Networks" ie TV revenue is 44% of its operating income, it's Parks and Resorts is 34% of the companies revenue. "Studio Entertainment" ie films is only 15%. Of course, Iger is putting a lot into streaming, that's where the company's money is, not the film business.
This is also why people should not be thinking Disney shows are going to be some low-budget, hallway fight shows. Disney+ is going to be the flagship earner for the company right alongside their normal cable services, they are going to be sure to invest a lot in it to attract and maintain viewers.
I cant wait for it to be 'aaS'ified. Daily Events! Watch today and understand why this person has a scar on their face on the next movie!
