Think it's a bit of a double edge sword. Disney+ is all Disney IP which is great for those that like it. But if you're not into Marvel or Star Wars or the kids catalogue there's not a lot there.
- throwaway894345 4y agoYeah, this is my family. We don't have kids, but we probably wouldn't have D+ if it didn't come bundled with our Verizon bill. I don't know how everyone else is managing, but I'm suuuuuuuper burned out on superhero and star wars movies. It really feels like Disney in particular but Hollywood more generally need to branch out more and not rely so much on stamping out franchise films--they're good for an occasional flick, but there needs to be more substance on offer (if the market doesn't already agree with me on this, I suspect they will in time).
- jessaustin 4y ago...we probably wouldn't have D+ if it didn't come bundled with our Verizon bill. This feels like it should be illegal. You're certainly paying for D+, and it's not as though Verizon competes in a free market.
- mrpippy 4y agoAt least by US standards, cellular service is about as free a market for a utility as we have. If you need to be on Verizon's network, you could go to Visible or another MVNO. If not, there's ATT and T-Mo and all of their MVNOs as well.
- throwaway894345 4y agoEh, I don't really have a problem with it. I'd pay Verizon's rate even if they didn't offer D+ because the network is just so much better than the competition (I have no loyalty to Verizon; I've used AT&T, T-mobile, and US Cellular and they're worse by a considerable margin in my experience traveling around the country).
