Makes no odds to me, I'll be waiting until the following week anyway as I'm out of the country. Looking forward to it though, and yes, let's not drop our show at 3am so all the insomniacs can post spoilers before we are awake.

Yea i am liking Ahsoka being released at 9pm so i don't have to get up and see my youtube suggests being "Who is Mara Jade and Nomi Sunrider?" or "How Its possible for Sabine to be Han Solo's Grandmother" style videos. It almost makes it appointment TV, though if you are busy for some reason, you still can watch it.

It's a good date change. Not enough shows release on Thursdays anymore. I'm so used to Weds, Friday and Sundays being the bigger release nights. Do we know how many episodes are in Loki? It could run into the new Dr. Who season if its a longer season. I'm guessing there will be another change in dates before something premieres.

Same. I got to where I'd stay completely off YouTube and TikTok for that exact reason. It's nice that I can just go home, chill and watch the show totally fresh before haphazard thumbnails spoil half the plot.

"What that ending to episode 4 means for the future of Ahsoka" *shows picture of a major character*. Also they always start the video off with something like "there will be spoilers, so if you don't want to see them, don't watch". Mother fucker, it's in the thumbnail and at the start of the episode.

Loki is also basically Marvel Doctor Who (not a dig, they're both timetravel shows about a hot, eccentric, ancient man) so it is a good lead-in

Random news about Daredevil: Born Again. - The former Netflix Showrunner says that from what he has seen, the show is looking good, but he thinks it is bullshit that it isn't officially season 4 of the show. He's mad that the show is essentially a revival of the Netflix show and by making it a technical reboot Disney is resetting the contracts for the staff to "season 1" instead of the payscale for a "season 4" of the show. - It isn't an origin story, so they are skipping some of the angst and brooding about whether to become a superhero from the Netflix series. He will have been active for a while in NYC and enthusiastic about it. - Charlie Cox says the show will be extremely similar to the Netflix show in terms of a dark tone and being "geared to a mature audience," but there will be less gore than the Netflix version. - The previous "Early 2024" release date is off the table and no new release date until the strike is over. They shutdown the entire production and won't be restarting until it is over. https://tvline.com/news/daredevil-born-again-reboot-title-change-controversy-1235045722/ Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Sep 20, 2023 |

Well I’m glad to hear that it’s mostly continuing from the Netflix stuff but I don’t think they are bringing back any of the supporting characters at all, right? Or at least not those actors?

Foggy and Karen have not been announced or mentioned at all, so it is assumed that their characters aren't involved. They haven't officially confirmed anything one way or the other, but they have announced every other person who was returning.

One theory about them is a possibly major spoiler: There are leaked set photos of Daredevil next to a sign that reads "March 15, 2020" and the assumption is that Foggy and Karen were snapped and there will be a twist reveal that part of the show takes place in the past. The guess is that they are either using the snap to write them out of the story or there will be a time jump and the second half of the series will be set in modern day and they will come back after the snap. This will also allow a time jump to Fisk being the Mayor of NYC and amassing his criminal empire during the snap by taking over the void left by snapped criminals and vacant real estate/businesses. Only the set photo part is 100% confirmed. The rest is just speculation based on leaks and other photos.

I agree, thats a great idea. I really want to see more stuff dealing with the snap, its aftermath, and trying to make sense of it. They have done a good bit of that with the unsnap, and we have seen a lot of POV of those who got snapped, but not a lot of those trying to figure out what happened. Also, I know its unlikely/impossible given the timing and Renner's injury, but it would have been cool to see some Daredevil vs. Ronin stuff with Matt tracking down leads and info only for Ronin to kill the guy before Matt can interrogate him. This also makes me wonder if we will get more city level characters into the MCU so they can just show up later on as having already existed (looking at you Squirrel Girl)

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:One theory about them is a possibly major spoiler: I really hope so. I've stated often, and at length, that my dream Daredevil project would have been set during the Snap, with Kingpin being the ruthless strongman that NYC *needed* to hold things together. Brutal, dictatorial, but at the same time being the only thing that stops the city falling into absolute chaos. Daredevil would also be trying to keep the city together, and to kerb Fisk's excesses, but knowing at the same time he can only try to rein him in and can't topple him because he too can see how much worse it would be without him. You'd have all the drama and chaos of a world during the Snap, which someone has to properly explore at some point, but with all the moral quandries of fighting an enemy that you paradoxically must not defeat.

Have the said anything about She-Hulk season 2? Peopled seemed to not like it very much, so it's possible they want to try and merge the two series, somewhat, and make She-Hulk the sidekick that Foggy and Karen used to be.

Even if they don't make a She Hulk season 2, they absolutely will not make her the sidekick in the show of another character who showed up as a cameo in her show. They'd get eviscerated trying to do that I think, in a way that would actually seem quite bad PR wise. I think they're in full on rethink mode right now, already regretting some of the commitments they made in the early days of the Disney + stuff so are gunshy about committing to anything else as it is.

Yeah they're clearly trying to backtrack on their Disney+ efforts (plus there's a writer and actor strike) so any shows besides what's already in the pipeline is real unlikely imo

Rarity posted:Yeah they're clearly trying to backtrack on their Disney+ efforts (plus there's a writer and actor strike) so any shows besides what's already in the pipeline is real unlikely imo You're definitely right and I wouldn't expect any new D+ series announced anytime soon. Disney's most recent financial statement and business plan basically said they are: - Spending $60 billion on theme parks and cruises over the next 10 years. - Looking into getting rid of broadcast TV (ABC specifically, and potentially spinning off ESPN into its own company) - Still losing lots of money on streaming. So, they are most likely going to cut costs on streaming by slowing down releases, spreading out what they already have in the can, and being very selective on what they greenlight for exclusive Disney+ content (unless it is very cheap). Apparently, they want to focus on theme parks, cruises, and movies. And they want to ditch expensive streaming content, the Metaverse (they had previously pledged to spend $10 billion on metaverse content under the previous CEO, lmao), and (non-sports) broadcast TV.

Sandwolf posted:Wow, Disney adults won out in the end? Who’d have guessed a theme park embarrassing to anyone fully matured was the real golden egg The average person is going to see a movie once, maybe twice, in theaters. The average person at a Disney park or cruise is spending thousands of dollars minimum. Yes the parks and cruises might have more overhead than the movie studio at this point (maybe?) but they're also getting thousands of customers every single day of the year.

They are enormously profitable and Disney World/Disney Cruises are all basically booked to capacity for years out. Everything else they do (except movies/merchandising for movies) is dwarfed by the parks. Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Sep 20, 2023 |

I actually really like the parks, live not far from Disneyland so it's a thing some friends and I will do every so often. But if Disneyland was a boat I was stuck on for several days with a couple thousand children, I'd lose my loving mind.

Disney banks a good portion of the money that people spend when they go to the Orlando parks because they are on their own land. So the real big spenders will stay at a Disney hotel, go to the parks, go to Disney restaurants, buy Disney merch, etc

Xealot posted:Hard no, absolutely. I have not been on a Disney cruise, but from what I understand, the appeal is that it is basically a massive 2-mile long piece of the Vegas strip on the water and you can get drunk, go to a water park, eat, sleep, see a show, and watch movies without ever being stuck with kids because they are effectively babysat 24/7. (You are also paying 2x the already overpriced cost of a trip to Vegas to do it on the ocean with Mickey Mouse) It's basically an all-inclusive resort, but you get to go to a tourist trap in Costa Rica for 2 hours halfway through.

Sooner or later companies are gonna start arguing that they should be able to use their characters for advertising and branding that way again, with how many adults grew up on the characters and continue paying attention to them into adulthood.
