One question is what happens over the long term to Netflix' Marvel shows. They're still owned by Disney, but are some of the most popular Netflix "originals."
Pulling those—or their followup seasons—over to the Disney streaming service would have to hurt Netflix.
- Joeri 9y agoI've watched those shows and enjoyed them but I feel like they're becoming redundant so it would probably be a good thing if netflix was forced to do truly original content. The whole superhero thing is growing stale for me anyway, and I suspect for a lot of others as well.
- dmichulke 9y agoI have an solid antipathy against the superhero movies and I dislike that Netflix offers so many of those that it's hard to browse their non-superhero offers. Please Disney, be greedy here, I know you can and I know you want to :)
- dagw 9y agoNetflix recently bought up Mark Millar's comic book company, presumably because they've seen the writing on the wall and want to keep making super hero movies/TV shows after their current deal with Marvel ends.
- bbarn 9y agoThe article mentions the realization that it's a different audience and separate from the Disney offering in general (ditto star wars). Sounds like there's a chance they leave that bit aside for different strategies.
