I wonder why Apple seems to be having far better luck with consistent quality than Netflix, who just laid another egg with their Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation. You'd think Netflix would have better connections and much more experience given their longer history and dominant status in the field. What is Apple doing that Netflix isn't?
- jkestner 3y agoMaybe giving the creators more rein and budget, because they’re a cash-rich underdog. Netflix isn’t that now.
- ceejayoz 3y agoApple doesn't as desperately need a big stable of first-party content. They've other revenue streams, they're not losing a bunch of third-party content, and I suspect most of their subs come in via Apple One (Apple Music, iCloud, etc.) package deals rather than direct.
- smugma 3y agoThe Avatar creators got so frustrated with Netflix they left a year or two ago. I think Apple gives a lot more free rein to its creators. For the Dr. Dre biopic they let it be made and then shelved it. Another notable exception was they allegedly wouldn’t let Jon Stewart talk about China.
