transplantbillsfan Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Personally, Tom Hiddleston's Loki is one of my favorite MCU characters in the last decade, so wife and I can't wait for that. Also really looking forward to the Rogue One spinoff with The Mandalorian. I hope they get even wider releases with the recent acquisition of Fox, too. I know The Simpson's will now be part of the service. Edited April 13, 2019 by transplantbillsfan

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Rumor has it the price point will be reasonable, 6 or 7 bucks as opposed to 15-20? I have kids and we pretty much love a lot of Disney.

I have kids and we pretty much love a lot of Disney. They're saying $6.99 at least initially. That absolutely won't last, but that's super cheap for what looks to be at least a handful of potential blockbuster shows. 1
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 I’m curious if Disney will pull all of its proprietary content from all of the other streaming platforms out there like Hulu, Netflix, Amazon and the like? I also have DirectTV Now, and the Disney Jr channel has “free” on demand content there, and the Disney app also has free content that unlocks with use of the driectTV Now login...wonder how all of that will be changing

I expect it will be the more adult-skewing stuff, including many of the newly acquired Fox properties. The current contract with Netflix expires this year. Disney will pull all of its content from Netflix. The announcement of the end of their agreement already happened last year. 2
The Senator Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 My initial understanding is that they will pull every title they own from Netflix, HuLu, and Amazon, so - if true - we have that to look forward to. .
May Day 10 Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 7 dollars is genius. Its a price point that is almost a no brainer for most people. Slowly increase it. Profits

Profits Not good news for Netflix as they just increased their standard price to $13/month to help pay down some of its debt. I can see a lot of parents switching from Netflix to Disney plus.

That's not the Rogue One spin-off. The Mandalorian is its own story set about 5-10 years after The Last Jedi. It'll be like a space western. The Rogue One spin-off is a spy series centered around Cassian and K2-SO. I'm much more interested in The Mandalorian, but I'll give the other a shot, of course. I read that Disney+ will offer a year subscription for $70. That's $5.83/month.

Wait... so you're telling me that on the new streaming service there are already apparently 2 live action Star Wars series (Mandalorian and the spinoff with Cassian, which I was initially interested in because I loved Rogue One) and 4 live action Marvel series (Scarlet Witch with Vision, Loki prequel, The Falcon and Winter Soldier, and a Hawkeye series... all with the original actors from the MCU movies) that are confirmed and people are questioning this service and price???
Shamrock Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Not sure, but wonder how it’ll effect Netflix as Disney pulls its titles away. Free to Air in Australia is still a big deal. I can’t recall the last time I watched regular TV. But watching Netflix less too. So it’ll end up being m’eh. Foxtel- cable is too $ to be worth it unless you buy sports or a nuts on the Kardashian’s.

Yes... What are people questioning? All I've heard is positive anticipation for the service itself.

shrader Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 If they have the full Fox library, that does spike my interest a bit.
May Day 10 Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 There are also rumblings that the App may be bundled with ESPN and Hulu.
