Not sure if I care about this or not, but considering this and things like Wandavision, I am getting tempted to actually pick up a Disney sub.  Do you guys feel you get your money's worth?  I like the idea of access to the Marvel stuff, but is that really enough?

I got in on one of the cheap pre-launch Disney+ deals, but yeah I think it's worth it. There's a lot of good stuff on there already, and they're starting to roll out new series more quickly now.

Have kids, so we watch more disney+ than Netflix.

Without kids it is certainly worth subscribing for a month or two to see how you get on. Catalog isn't super deep, but it is growing. And for now it only costs the price of two beers a month anyway.

Disney+ for the 3 year deal was frankly fucking incredible.

Now? Dunno. In a month you could watch everything you wanted though. Their series are not long in episode or length per.

If you like the MCU and are okay with the traditional "new episode every week" TV model rather than the Netflix-style "release the entire season at once" model, then this year will have a new MCU-related show every week according to the currently known schedules:

https://old.reddit.com/r/marvelstudios/comments/ll6e83/am_i_crazy_or_are_they_going_to_release_something/

The yearly price for Disney+ is going up $10 on March 26th from $69.99 to $79.99 so don't wait too long to decide if you want the lower price.

Edit: yearly

I've found Disney good for the subscribe-a-few-months to watch a pile of MCU / Mandalorian etc, then cancel sub. I plan to resub in a few months once they have a bit more of a back catalog.
And thats coming from someone with teenage kids - if they were younger I'm sure it would just be a regular sub.

Marvel shit plus the Star Wars shit all made it worth it for me. I got in on the early deal too.

Disney+ is pretty much mandatory in my house, so I'm going to take the MCU stuff as a pleasant bonus. Would I sub just for this? No I'd hoist the black once a whole season was available. But it's going to be right there, and I'm going to watch it.

Another sign of MCU quality, compared to the Netflix shows--they understand exactly how much story they have and they're not trying to fill a standard-size series order.

I expect a mediocre buddy action series, without much character development and mostly just setting up them as a team (endgame coda) and putting another piece of the next MCU phase into place. I'm already not a fan, because it's Skrulls and I hate the weak trope of shapeshifting. But I expect to enjoy it nonetheless, the last aliens were lame af and it worked well enough as a crappy backdrop for heroes to hero.

I just wish Disney would stop releasing the same basic trailer over and over on their YT channel. I hope to see a cool facet of the show and it's the same couple of scenes recut into a different order undecided

So I just assume it's mostly action and no further facets needed.

After this the next one on D+ is Loki, in June, which looks to be fun. I guess What If? is this summer. I guess Shang-Chi is still scheduled for theatrical release this summer. I have no idea what that's gonna be like.

I guess there's more variance than I remember, but there is also a ton of repetition (mainly the plane scene and truck scene and later the 'coworkers' schtick).

Wait, Sharon Carter is going to be Mockingbird? I guess they can't have her go make googly eyes at Hawkeye since he's a family man in the MCU.

I don't think so, as Bobbi Morse was in Agents of SHIELD (played by Adrianne Palicki), although I don't remember if she went by that code name or not.

Pretty sure that everything TV pre D+ is going to be torched as a multiverse feverdream, at best.

Yeah Secret Invasion was announced but not scheduled yet for Disney+ and she's rumored to be in it. It's scheduled to start shooting later this Spring so we may get confirmation of that then.

Ugh, I'd want to see this because of reasons (gimme eye candy boys!) but I utterly loathe the actress playing Sharon Carter.  My husband watches the Resident (which she's also in) and I can't stand her in that either.  She just bugs the hell out of me.

Yes, Bobbi Morse was on Agents of SHIELD and she and her boyfriend/ex-hubby left the show to go to a spinoff that never happened. She was basically Mockingbird in everything but name.

Both those actors were really good in the roles and Marvel TV did them pretty dirty. Glad whats-his-bucket (Inhumans idiot) is now gone.

My bad, I thought it was the chick from Agents of SHIELD. Too bad it seems they can't salvage the (few) good things from their non-MCU debacles.

I still haven't managed to catch Far From Home on any streaming service I'm on (Didny, Netflix, Prime). It's irritating.

Currently on Hulu and Starz. Still technically a Sony franchise, so unlikely to come to Disney+.

Well the actress is confirmed to be in the powerpuff girls live action show, so they'd have to get someone else.

Homecoming and Far From Home are both on Prime, though I think you have to pay a rental fee to watch (I know Homecoming wanted a rental charge when we tried to watch it at my folks place on prime the other day).

I think I should stop watching shows while I'm having bouts of insomnia; it makes me cranky I think lol.


So I liked the show. Although the ending was telegraphed in the trailers I was surprised they'd do that in the very first episode.

The  way this started I thought it was going to be mostly action, but it was really a lot of character work and a bit of world building (more blip fallout).

A few things triggered me but not enough to bother writing about.

Seemed bitty to me.

And the blip fallout stuff was a lot of talking without enough showing.

Maybe if this had been a Sam episode and then they'd done a separate Bucky episode it would have flowed better.

I'm probably being fussy because Wandavision was so good.

So far this doesn't seem as good as Wandavision but we'll see how it turns out. I fear Wandavision set the bar so high that this show may struggle with those raised expectations. I actually found it dragged a little to be honest. I get they were trying to do character work but it felt like it was about 10 minutes too long. When a Wandavision episode ended I was almost always going "Noooooo...I want to know what happens next!" In this one I went "eh, so there's the start of the conflict they'll need to deal with."

The "broke superhero" thing just doesn't make any sense, it's barely reasonable when it's a teenager like Spiderman, but Falcon should be pretty loaded from the work he does.
