Honestly TLJ is the second best thing Disney has made besides Andor...so maybe they need more of that and less of the childish nostalgia bait low brain garbage being peddled through the TV shows. Favreau made 2 good episodes in the Mando pilot and got praised and now entire quality of all the shows has nosedived until Andor somehow pulled a miracle and ended up the best Star wars media since Empire.

I think she wanted to rule rather than destroy the multiverse. But in any case, having one of the other Stranges being responsible for the destruction of one or more universes is pretty high stakes.

Yea it’s a fun watch

It's not about quantity it's about the lack of quality control.

If all the shows were like Andor nobody would have a problem...but half of Mando is unwatchable. Most of Boba was unwatchable nostalgia bait and both shows have a specific need to recreate western tropes with zero twist.

Marvel is pretty much the same problem only more concentrated on the specific problem of story fatigue.

And it's not that I don't like superhero movies anymore...the formula is pretty universal. I don't like how modern marvel still needs to push plots and new characters in the middle of movies that have nothing to do with them...massively constraining the creative heights allowed in the very wacky setting.

Did I like Riri Williams in Wakanda Forever? Sure. Did I need her or Ross to be in the movie? No. Could the movie have improved with more time dedicated to the villain? Yes. Not to mention the plot was rather identical in structure to the first one with an early movie car chase into an action standoff during a pitched medieval style open area battle...aka...its not allowed to be fully creative.

Pretty much all my issues with 90% of marvel content stems from these side elements being placed into the movie arbitrary to the core dilemma and story. The moments where my brain has to switch off became I guess X character is being plugged because they are going to be in a new movie or tv show soon.

The only ones I've genuinely enjoyed did very little of this or were just so strong storytelling wise I got over it. Wandavision, Thor: Love and Thunder, Shang Chi, etc.

They were the only way I could watch certain NFL games because they were blacked out on Sunday Ticket, and I didn't have basic TV, and their feed would almost never get to 1080p and my internet isn't bad or anything. Terrible app experience.

A thing I also found frustrating when I used Paramount+ was the fact that episodes don't have descriptions under them. Makes picking through old Star Trek episodes an absolute chore because I've got no idea what I'm watching till about three minutes into the episode.

Agreed, but I gotta give credit for not just choosing to unpause whenever it wants like Peacock does, can't tell you how many times I've paused to run to the store or do chores and come back to it having progressed 2+ episodes.

I’m going to have to watch it again, but I thought it was Strange’s reckless use of the Darkhold in the other realities which destroyed them, but in our universe he was just trying to stop Maximoff from stealing Chavez dimension jump capabilities. The Illuminati thought Strange was the biggest threat rather than Maximoff. In our reality Maximoff was up to no good and was a rising threat, but I don’t remember her actually putting our reality in jeopardy.

I've been saying it for almost a decade now, it's insane that all these years later Star Wars still hasn't moved past the Skywalker saga. Not one movie or TV show has even flirted with the idea of leaving that saga behind.

It baffles my mind.

The pacing is slow. The way it’s edited is very “Korean reality TV”, which it is. But if you can deal with the pacing and the editing, it’s super compelling.

If you’re into Physical:100, you’ll almost certainly also like Run for the Money, also on Netflix. Japanese reality show about a bunch of people trapped in a Dutch-themed theme park and being hunted (tag). Same issues re: pacing and editing, but really fun and surprisingly tense.

Yeah that’s an easy argument to make. I just felt like everyone watched Wandavision and not the rest of the MCU shows so I felt like including it

Ooaaaaaaah

Yeah, that second challenge was not fair in the slightest.

On ps5 the app just does not work for me

>The latest Doctor Strange movie was more like the earlier movies it was a smaller threat

Multiverse of madness? The one where the entire multiverse was at risk from an unstoppable reality warper?

Falcon and The Winter Soldier had way more glaring issues than just the pandemic. The villain was fucking horrendous. She goes around murders people, then in the end she gets praised as some kind of hero by Sam in the most preaching speech shit I've ever heard.

My folks have DirecTV Stream and it's 10x worse than the next worse service.

The strike will be upon us

Star Wars movies? Yes probably. But not every piece of content is geared towards kids. With Clone Wars they stopped trying to appeal for kids and instead just went on to tell a good story. The story has now ended up being people's favorite piece of Star Wars content.

It's not that the content didn't grow up. It's essentially just that rhey are forcibly keeping the content back from evolving to something good or even better.

That's the problem with having infinite money you can throw on CGI (albeit it still looks shit), but then you choose to skimp out on actually good writers. It just ends up becoming this supremely generic CGI clusterfuck.

Meanwhile HBO chooses to put the budget required for the stuff that needs the high budget, but has way more focus on high quality, well written shows. With the budget Disney+ puts into one show, HBO can make 5-6 well written shows and they can all be critically acclaimed.

It's not just saturation of content, it's oversaturation of how similar they are. They are also way too focused on pleasing all these minorities and pointing fingers at "hey, I bet you've never seen a lesbian character portrayed in a big budget show, or a Bi character, or a muslim character, or a indian etc", the list goes on and on. Don't try to please every type of audience, that's just gonna set you up to fail, concentrate on making good content, and either while it airs or in the long run, the seeds you sow will grow.

I know for sure I don't have any desire to rewatch any of the Disney+ shows. But with other shows I have gone back and watched so many scenes and whole episodes because I just wanna relive the moment.

They already did....

What are you watching it on? It was the worst streaming service I’ve ever seen on the PS4 app. The app for my smart TV more or less works fine, though. One workaround is subscribe to it as an Amazon channel if you have Prime.

Agree, OP. But there are a few out there that are trash. How does these apps survive testing?
