The Expired Marvel Netflix series

Hulu instead of Netflix but w/e:

FUCK YEAH

Spoiler: So I finally got around to finishing Defenders.

It was ok-ish, but there were honestly moments where I was hoping to be a bit more excited? Knew that Matt wouldn't be dead in the end, we all knew that as he had a third season to come yet. Still doesn't explain what happened to Elektra, I guess we'll find out later?

Just got to wait for The Punisher in a month now. I purposely didn't watch that trailer until I finished Defenders and wow, it was so worth the wait.

Posting this here because this news will likely affect the Netflix shows more than anything.

Disney will now produce all future Marvel shows exclusively for their upcoming streaming service. Netflix will no longer be making content for Disney.
It is unknown whether or not the current Netflix series (Daredevil, Punisher, etc) will continue on Netflix or if Disney will move them when their contract with Netflix expires.

Knowing Disney, they'll probably be moved over. Not sure how I feel about this... I guess depends on how expensive/available the new Disney service will be.

 

[Tennyo]

Okay so I guess I won't be watching because I'm not getting another streaming service.

Wtf Disney don't you make enough money?

 

[Tetsujin]

I mostly just get Netflix for a single month for whatever new season of a series I wanna watch and most of the time it's been the Marvel shows anyway so I don't really mind the move that much

I think that they're attempting to get more funding for those things in specific, especially with the fact that they're gonna be developing a live action Star Wars series, too (which would likely cost a significant chunk of cash). Especially with the fact that there still seem to be talks between Disney and Fox, this sort of thing starts to make even MORE sense, because that would put basically all things Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars under a single streaming service — including all of the X-Men stuff, and also probably all of Fox's other shows to draw in that extra audience.

I think that for Marvel & Star Wars, I'd likely go in for it, since that's a lot of the media I consume anyway, but depending on the whole fox thing, it could have MASSIVE impacts.

My worry is that this is a surefire thing that will be a success. It's Disney, they are the reason why your cable and satellite TV bill goes up 5% every February with out fail, because they know they are big enough to push ridiculous licensing contracts.

Other services will just become more emboldened after seeing this succeed and go full bore with their own streaming services. We already see others trying to do this, Doctor Who got pulled off of Netflix the other year just to try and make the BBC streaming service worth. It's always Sunny , the League , and other FX stuff got pulled to try and make their own worth etc.

The reason this hasn't been so bad thus far is because at least the "competing" services were terrible and there was always that feeling once Fox, BBC etc got their heads out of their ass the shows would return to Netflix.


Cord Cutting wasn't going to stay cheap for ever. The natural progression towards everyone splitting up , leaving Netflix, and making a sort of piece meal A La Carte alternative that basically ends up costing the same as your current Cable Bill was always where this was heading. Always.

It just sucks that this will in all likelihood expedite that process.

I have other shows on Netflix that I enjoy, even moreso than the Marvel stuff or anything Star Wars or Disney, as much as I do enjoy that stuff as well. I can only pay so much for entertainment each month.

Sooooo yeah :/

[Ami]

I'll still watch them, regardless of what happens. I just won't be paying for another streaming service, I'll find it online instead. Even without the Marvel shows, I have plenty of shows that I like to watch on Netflix.

 

[Channy]

We were paying for 3 streaming services at one point... Netflix, Crave and Shomi, I loved Shomi but they tanked last year after not enough subscribers or something... and Crave was a pain to stream so we gave up on it. There's plenty, even on Canadian netflix, to keep us entertained. And regarding the Fox/Disney buyout it'll be interesting to see how it turns out but it's hard to imagine Rupert Murdoch just giving it all up.

Meanwhile in AoS

Strap in, buckle up WE'RE GOING TO SPACE

Just finished Punisher, good shit.

 

[lithiumkatana17]

Yeah, I finished it on Sunday. Definitely one of the best Marvel Netflix series to date. The only thing I was on the fence about was the plotline with the mentally ill veteran. They went to such extremes while pushing that narrative that I wondered what it would do for the public's perception of veterans who suffer from PTSD and other mental illnesses. I know better, but there are folks out there who have trouble separating truth from fiction. Granted, I'm not saying that something like this hasn't or couldn't happen, but the portrayal of it just didn't sit well with me. Other than that minor thing, I really loved it.

 

[Cthulhu]

Watched the first episode, it's not cringeworthy terrible at least. Veeeeeery stereotypical / tropey story though.

Spoiler: ep1 spoilar

besides the fact he kills everyone at the end, lololololol

. We'll see.

 

[Cthulhu]

Okay fuck this, it's yet another soap opera wrapped in a shallow marvel sauce. With some violence. But it's a soap opera because of love triangles, people banging each other a lot, and sadfeis from lost family members and shit. Fuck this.

 

[Clement Rage]

1 episode in. Mixed feelings.

 

[Ami]

Jessica Jones season 2 is out March 18th next year and there's a trailer.

 

[lithiumkatana17]

FUCK YEAH

NETFLIX IS ORDERING PUNISHER SEASON 2

 

[Tetsujin]

 

[Clement Rage]

So, JJ 2 is coming out soon... Looking forward to it. Kilgrave was so good that I'm not sure how they'll manage without him.

Never did finish Punisher. Must try and get back to it at some point.

 

[Ami]

I watched Don't Trust The B- In Apartment 23 most of yesterday to get used to her again. She's so different in that show, but I can understand more now why they got her to be Jessica. I haven't watched Punisher either, I guess I'll watch that this week and then I'll be ready for season 2. It's looking so good, I hope it doesn't disappoint!
