Good, Netflix MCU shows always looked so cheap. I don’t Jessica Jones ever flew on screen.

That honestly sounds like an absolutely ridiculous number. That's far higher than late series episodes of Game of Thrones.
You mean Netflix MCU shows. There are a ton of amazing looking Netflix shows.
These starwars shows are gonna be fucking lit aren’t they. Cannot wait for Mandalorian
*edit how did my ass not see Marvel in the title lmao

Hopefully the quality of the writing and execution comes close to the magnitude of the budget.
I don't think the plan is to do multiple seasons of all these shows. I thought the point was to do content that they don't have time to show in theatres but still give it the same effort as MCU titles
Also while I was pretty impressed with Daredevil at the time of release compared to the CW schlock, it felt like the budgets progressively got slashed as each new show came out.
Wait, the budget is higher than the Mandalorian episodes?
They're all mini series, and they certainly aren't short on cash, idk seems fine to me
Seems like a waste. I don't have data but I don't think people in general rewatch entire series as often as they rewatch movies, aside from stuff like The Simpsons or Big Bang Theory that is always on and people love to catch an episode anytime. Not only that but these series will definitely target the relatively hardcore fans of the MCU, so only a fraction of the people who went to watch Endgame will actually bother checking out these shows. We'll see, Disney certainly has money to burn.
I have a hard time believing they're spending $25 million an episode. Sounds more like marketing than reality.
They have to spend a lot. Maybe it doesn't need to be 25m per episode, but still. After Game of Thrones viewers expect fantasy/sci-fi shows to have production values on par with most films. On top of that Disney isn't cash starved, so they can't use that as an excuse to skimp on these series.
Absolutely, it’s one of her main powers.
Always shocked how good that show looks for something on Fox.
They changed her flight to be super high jumping. They showed her on ledges and stuff. Considering the budget, I think it was a smart change.
I always wonder does this mean they are paying another firm $25 mil or are they paying employees that much? Does this include hardware/software costs
I don't think the plan is for more than a single season of just about anything. I think in most cases they're looking for big-budget short series that allow for interesting stories that add background to things like the MCU or Star Wars, can sit on Disney+ for years or maybe decades, but also have a definite ending that lets the actors move on to other things and makes space for Disney to create other new stuff.
When I read the budget per episode for the Netflix shows (which I don’t remember offhand) I was completely floored. It made no sense. There was definitely some kind of skimming off the top there. Did Jessica Jones or Luke Cage scream “big budget” to you?
Its crazy especially when you realize the bits of CG shots used in literally every episode.

unnecessary, but really made the city something special
