I don't think it's the Highlander end-game they are envisioning, rather there seems to be a drive towards a new (imagined) equilibrium with specific streaming services servicing specific demographics — like Disney is aiming straight for the 'wholesome and family-friendly'-niche.
Of course we all lose as consumers (until you hoist the Jolly Roger in despair).
- blaser-waffle 7y agoDisney owns wayyy too many different subsidiary companies and IPs to just focus on wholesome, family programming. Like they own Fox, FX, ESPN, National Geographic, Hulu, Lucasfilm, Pixar, Marvel Entertainment, huge chunks of other networks like A&E and Vice Media. You know that hip, edgy Vice News, the one with stories about doing drugs in war torn Africa? Yeah Disney owns like ~16-20% of that. Disney is EVERYWHERE; be afraid of The Mouse.
- Freak_NL 7y agoThat's Disney the company. Disney+, the streaming service, is pursuing family-friendly. All the edgier material goes on Hulu apparently.
