Crazy how few folks on Reddit realise the truth of this. They are cutting $3 billion of content. Of course they cannot afford as many Star Wars or Marvel shows. They will up the volume again if folks start churning out and the cutting loses them more subscription revenue than it gains in budget savings.

They hired a real writer for Andor and it was fantastic.

I just want them to make an Obi-Wan show where he is a "ronin" and just goes from place to place solving peoples problems. Like what Star Wars fan would hate that show?
Hell just remake "The Man with No Name" trilogy and just replace "The Man" with Obi-Wan. That shit would be fire.

They’re basing it on stories that were originally written for 9 year olds. Star Wars was meant for kids too. We just grew up - the content, for the most part, didn’t.

I downloaded the leaked script for "Star Trek: Generations" from America Online when I was a child. "This sucks" I said, immediately.
I always thought Kevin Feige had a similar "superpower" at the development stage. Like he could just hear 10 pitches and go "sucks, sucks, sucks, good."

And the same 9 year olds doing their visual effects, although I’m sure it’s more because they’re paying them a shit wage while simultaneously giving them unrealistic deadlines.

Yea and if the Star Wars content is Andor or at least Mandalorian quality, good enough.
More Obi-Wan/Boba content? No thanks.

Marvel was only fun when every installment was a must-watch. They lost that after Wandavision

Idc how much they give us. I just want it to be good like it used to be. Iron man through end game was like 70 percent great movies. A few misses but even those weren't terrible. Now it feels like they have 9 year olds writing their movies

>In what feels like a different timeline ago, at July’s San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel chief Kevin Feige put the pedal to the metal when he outlined five Disney+ shows for 2023 — What If …? season two, Echo, Loki season two, Ironheart and Agatha: Coven of Chaos. Now, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that Loki season two and the Samuel L. Jackson-led Secret Invasion are the only sure bets to debut this year. Even projects that wrapped months ago, such as the Hawkeye spinoff Echo and Wakanda Forever spinoff Ironheart, are unlikely to arrive in 2023 as the studio spreads out its content and tinkers in postproduction. And shows in development, such as Nova, are now on a slower path.

In the beginning it was good. Now it's just hack as they constantly play the Meta card. I wish they would come up with something new

Would be redundant since there are already episode ratings. (And those are useless.)

”You can have 10 mediocre shows or you can have five great shows,” says one agency partner whose clients work on the franchise plays. “People will still stay on Disney+.”
Someone needs to tell this dude streamers like Disney+ have month-to-month contracts and that savvy consumers will just churn out in the months between Marvel and Star Wars shows.
