I inadvertently have a Disney+ trial, can't find ANYTHING good to watch

the fact that I don't care about animated films doesn't help, and I checked out of the MCU after Endgame (except GotG3 which was legit good imo) and Star War after RoS

I don’t know how to feel about the last episode of The Curse. I enjoyed watching it as a thing unto itself, but it sort of felt like a ripoff. Almost like it ended with all the main characters having a shared dream that meant different things to each person, or something, which is fine, but I got no goddamn closure. I dunno. Maybe I’ll love it, or at least get it, later.

Also it sort of seemed like the weird rear end twist was a bit of a joke, based on Asher and Whitney’s reasoning in the moment. The pressure finally got to Asher.

E: ok, the bit about a shared dream sort of lines up with one theme I got from the show, which is that nobody really sees anybody or anything else clearly; we’re essentially seeing distorted reflections of the actual person or event and our minds are the mirror reflecting it imperfectly due to our unique perspectives, which leads to our responses sometimes being very inappropriate. So, Asher thinks it’s the house is causing him to be stuck to the ceiling and directs Whitney to depressurize it, which she complies with since Asher has kind of broken her at this point and she’s fully absorbed in his worldview. Dougie sees Asher abandoning his family like his own deadbeat dad did. The neighbors see a reality show being recorded. Emergency services sees another weirdo doing weird poo poo they need to handle with basic procedures. Etc. Nobody is dealing with this crazy situation properly not just because it’s unprecedented, but also because they can’t see beyond themselves to what’s actually happening. I think that was the point of the story all a long, but I also wanted the ground level narrative and drama resolved a bit better.

E2: and what was up with the show finally explicitly acknowledging that there’s a second film crew? Abshir seems to be in on it. I thought they would do more with it, but nah.

Lol, so is it fair to say that getting rid of piracy was a big motivation behind the move to streaming for studios? It’d make too much sense if movie and TV studios destroy themselves because they were big mad at Pirate Bay

Nah the big push was that the studios saw how successful netflix was and wanted in. Also companies love subscription services, see current I.T/Software industry.

Streaming made pirating easier, but the early days of streaming made legally streaming shows a lot easier and more convenient too. My uh, "friend" stopped pirating entirely back when Netflix was cheap and everything was on it. I know several other people who did as well. The incentive to not pirate is long gone, but the ease of doing so remains. Which is just fine by me lol.
