Disney Won’t “Chase Bucks” By Licensing Star Wars, Marvel & Pixar Content To Netflix, But Is In Talks Over Other Titles

Don’t expect to see Andor or Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 on Netflix any time soon. Disney CEO Bob Iger said that it won’t “chase bucks” by licensing its “core brands” to its rival, despite what …

My yearly subscription ends in March.
The only thing that excites me in 2024 ist the Acolyte- don’t even need only Star Wars or Marvel content. I also miss such releases like Rescue Rangers (which was good) or Peter & Wendy (which was ok imho). But 2024 has almost nothing to look forward

Disney+ has been a major disappointment.

 

[Dark Raven]

I've barely found anything to watch on that channel. It's a channel where you've always got to be in the right mood for any of its content, otherwise it's not exactly that much range.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

They bought out Hulu for a reason.

The problem will come again if and when they lose existing Hulu content while stopping producing and licensing new stuff for Hulu.

 

[Bran The Man]

The only thing I'm really looking forward to is "ECHO".

If they didn't own Marvel or Star Wars, I wouldn't even bother, because outside of that, I feel like you have be an avid Disney fan or have kids that are to enjoy the actual Disney content on there.

It's the reason why I didn't renew my yearly subscription. It ran out in November but I re-upped for one month last week just for What If? and Echo. I'm only going to renew for a month at a time whenever something I want to watch is on there and it's slim pickings for 2024. There's not enough on there to justify me spending the money for a yearly subscription. If I want to watch a Marvel or Star Wars movie I'll just have to pop in a Blu-ray.

Well, I've watched Renegade Nell, a fun little show. It reminds me that I have no idea why the Scarecrow of Romney Marsh isn't on the site yet.

Oh, well there is a show I liked going to be cancelled.

I've been saying this for Netflix for years, looks like Disney is doing it first.

It's a pretty cool idea for folks like me who put shows/movies on in the background while they work.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

There’s lots of free channels out there on Google TV, Roku, Pluto, Tubi, Xumo, Plex, etc. they’re behind the curve a bit.

Yeah but those free channels don't really offer much, it's just a lot of home improvement and cooking shows.

With this, it's something a lot more interesting because it's their own curated library that a lot of people watch that they're playing 24/7.

Nickelodeon, Star Trek, CSI, Anime.

It is cool. For some reason I am having a hard time now paying attention to watching movies/show when I'm at home. I just have them on in the background, my way of catching up. Its rare for me now to finish a 40 minute episode, and not touch my phone. The Traitors from Peacock (is the most recent show that really had my attention but it took a couple of episodes before that happened).

For me I can see the appeal in putting on a Marvel or Star Wars channel because I'm caught up with mostly everything from them so it makes for good background noise.

I read and post here all day with the TV on. It's difficult for me to just sit and simply watch something. I can tell how good a show is by how distracting it is, if I have to pause it to read a few pages. I'm truly ADD now and I never used to be, lol.

 

[Sithborg]

Right in the goddamn feels.

 

[Sithborg]

Watching some EVO Japan, and Disney+ ads are showing up. Highlighting anime. Kind of hilarious.

 

[psylockolussus]

I don't get why they don't have a separate tab for ABC, FX and 20th Century. From where I live, Grey's Anatomy, 911 and Planet of the Apes are under the Star tab. Which is a bit random, as I remember Star as a line of several cable channels from where I live (Star World, Star Movies, etc - which are all now defunct) and Disney repurposed the brand/logo for Disney+.

I’m glad I’m not alone lol and like squeekness because it’s the same for me as well I never used to be that way. Really difficult for me to sit and watch a show/movie nowadays unless it’s something really engaging. The most recent one was Tales of the Empire which I don’t think counts because those episodes were really short lol.
