Already introduced in the Acolyte....and hopefully never again!

Marvel Studios Fantastic Four: First Steps
jvmacross replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Of everything coming out from Marvel....Fantastic 4 is what I'm least interested in....still, they need to get this one right...as it is, it sounds like the new Captain America may not continue the good vibes pumped back into the franchise from the last Deadpool movie...at least it's not the big mess that Star Wars has been under Disney.... -

Another spot that OT and PT character, setting or word bingo episode!....Never realized that Greedos and Hammerheads were so ubiquitous across the galaxy!.... It's sad when it was other media that would copy Disney and Lucasfilm ideas...now the often imitated are devoid of fresh ideas themselves so they are plundering concepts from their own IPs.... Took then long enough to bring out the lightsabers.....and I guess they really don't have any safety built into them! Why blur out the pirate's face in the recording? It's even brought up by one of the kids.....has to mean something, right? They also haven't shown the "supervisor's" face.... There's no way this is all about Old Republic mints, c'mon!

Nope....it's the official start of the DCU under Gunn's watch...and so far I doubt it is must-see for the Superman movie....at least so far

Again....another nonsensical statement....my like or dislike of this or any show has no bearing on whether or not other people may actually like it....good for them if they do! Which is funny you even bring up "reviews and viewership data" as you were just hell-bent on your assertion that D+ is hemorrhaging subscribers....it's not...at worst it fluctuates based on the shows non-core subscribers.....which presently have apparently zero impact on Disney's willingness to create Star Wars content that will be guaranteed hits everytime... Anyways.....I have to call it a night...sweet dreams Mister Bassett....
-
Nope....but you are hitting the sauce hard tonight professor....I just said Star Wars is no longer just for kids as Lucas had originally purported it to be....you then went on a long manifesto that had nothing to do with that....
-
I don't think Disney is going to change their formula for Star Wars....it's just one IP in their huge portfolio....like having a stock portfolio....not all may do well at the same time....but hopefully you have enough winners to get a good return....the aggregate for their audience (subscribers) has been increasing....the competition is getting more crowded....so at some point the required amount of subscribers will be at a point that may trigger a change in how they need to approach specific IPs in their portfolio....however, Star Wars has a built-in audience of hard core fans that will always be subscribers....we just don't know if that amount is enough to keep having them produce content that does not necessarily need to be great all the time....
-
You'd think....but nope....D+ subscriptions have steadily increased over time...defying all logic....perhaps customers have a FOMO attitude towards D+....Disney must have some set ROI that has not been breached to call any series so far a complete financial disaster....their formula works and I think it's based on a large loyal subscriber base and a bunch of other subscribers that want to stay "relevant" on their streaming in general or have a FOMO situation for D+ specifically.... https://www.statista.com/statistics/1095372/disney-plus-number-of-subscribers-us/

You were saying that Star Wars was for "kids"....I said not anymore....you then try to support your argument by stating that both Skellington Crew and Resistance have zero ties to any Lucas era show....again....so what? What does that have anything whatsoever with the fact that Star Wars is no longer being made primary for kids....actually, your statement is not only pointless...it's nonsensical to the argument....maybe you are hitting the bourbon a bit too liberally tonight? Required beverage these days for D+ Star Wars viewing!....

I don't think those self-reported "ages" on online gaming communities mean much....half of them are probably f'ing pedos....
-
Well duh again....of course Disney is going to keep pouring money into their biggest IP cash generator....as I have already stated....good or dismal....these shows generate merchandising profit via the countless licensing fees....no rational business would give up on that....the problem is there is no incentive to need to produce quality shows like Andor....why spend more money for the best talent when you can hire mediocre talent and maximize profit... So the "stumbling block" you describe isn't even real....it will never be real until whatever ROI percentage they have had their top bean counters set for the House of Mouse is not met....the fact that there have been way more duds than hits shows that quality isn't a must-have...just a nice-to-have when and if it ever happens...in short, a good Star Wars story from Disney will likely continue to be a hit-or-miss proposition for a long, long time....
-
And?....this is a pointless statement when every other shot in Skellingtin Crew ( sorry never seen Resistance...likely never will) consists of winks and nods (aka fan service) to stuff seen or mentioned in practically every George Lucas era story we know....even those that have been universally trashed like the Star Wars Holiday Special and the Ewok Movies....lmao!
-
I bet a majority of those kids are wearing them because the parents are fans....most kids can't buy their own clothes...lol
-
I think it's way past the time when that may have been a legitimate statement....this is no longer George Lucas' Star Wars.....hasn't been for years....which makes the infantile writing and stories even more egregious....let's face it....Star Wars is trying to be cool for the entirely wrong audience....no matter how you look at it...an audience that now has way more options than the original fan's ever had....it's a tough spot for Disney to be in....cater to a dying fanbase....or cater to a fanbase that no longer is forced into few options for their entertainment dollars...
-
LOL....indeed....anyone who thinks this or any Star Wars being produced today is mainly targeted for "kids" is fooling themselves....unless they mean the kids trapped inside grown-ass adults....no kid I am aware of gives a sh!t about Star Wars...TBH...I'm thankful for that!
