They must have hired the guy who used to do the Nick At Night TV Land promos. It makes me think they really dont have much to show and they are confident youll tune in to watch paint dry because its got the marvel tag.

Wtf? Because they are going for a retro look to promote the series it somehow means they have nothing to show? I dont see the connection there.

i dont mean there is literally nothing to show. i mean by not showing scenes from the show it communicates a lack of confidence in their content while projecting an overconfidence that you will tune in anyway because they got you by the MCU balls.

Appears that the special crossover with Ducktales was enough of a hit to move forward, but does not seem to be the same crew.

That was just one of the short promos. They've had like 2-3 other trailers.

Yeah, they have shown quite a bit of content...the series spans all the way from the "Dick Van Dyke" era TV to modern times. It actually looks pretty good, Im interested

i dunno, i still think its a lame direction. it always looks like when they use that era they do it in a mocking fashion.

Its a direction that is following (loosely) the comics...this is the House of M storyline

Lots of people were predicting doom when the Verizon free promo ended on subs. Results last night had them jump up to more than 70m subs.

Verizon sent out an email saying it will flip over to auto-pay with no further action required. People that are watching the Mandalorian aren't going to change anything and if Wandavision is decent they'll get subs through Feb/Mar but after that they really need to have a content plan.

No release date yet. I think pushing the movies back also pushed back shows. It's all a mess ATM truthfully. Since all the shows and movies are connected now, you have to watch for spoilers between them.

Speaking of 18+ tier.
I used to only watch/buy/rent movies on Vudu. Since UV went under I been accessing my movies on Movies Anywhere since Fire won't allow a Vudu app cause Walmart and Bezos is a goblin piece of shit.
Anyways I do get Vudu from my TV apps so I fired it up for the first time in a year or two.
Now Vudu had R movies but that was about it, probably due to Walmart but when I fired it up yesterday even the free movies were soft porn. TV-MA with cocks and tits all over. Interesting change of policy over the previous years.

Netflix just did an increase, of course Disney will follow. Uhg.

Good thing I locked up for three years with the founder's price.

From what I understand they are not doing a price increase, they are doing a higher cost Tier. So yes, your price will not change, but you will not have access to the stuff on the higher pay Tier.

Same. You can't beat what amount to $4.90/month. 3 year is awesome. I wish I could have combined it with the free year from Verizon. Oh well.
