Disney Are Doing The Right Thing…

Nope, we’re not talking about Disney’s decision to replace the dwarfs in the live-action of Snow White. But in fact, we’re talking about their cutting down of Marvel and Star Wars content at least on the TV anyway as in the gaming sphere it’s full steam ahead. It’s not going to be a popular opinion but the oversaturation and just poor management from some of these superhero movies coming out is just unreal. Even DC has it wrong over there. But let’s get back to Marvel, shall we?

We have a Superhero problem. For whatever reason people are just not choosing to keep up with these movie universes. The reason for that is that everyone is doing it and there is no innovation going on here at all. And there’s so much you have to do to keep up with it.

Now Disney has come out and said the reason for it is because there are too many TV shows featuring the heroes. Yep, and not only that but let’s be honest the writing quality has taken a dive too. It’s gotten so bad that DC is having to reboot and go back to the drawing board. I just don’t know how we get back to the quality. Can someone give Christopher Nolan a call?

I mean with the hiatus that Star Wars has had. We’re hoping that it comes back stronger. It certainly looks like the attention for Marvel and DC is turning to gaming. We have Iron Man, Wolverine, Wonder Woman, Spiderman, and Black Panther all ongoing projects and it seems to me that the attention is turning to gaming for our superhero output. Which isn’t a bad thing.

But getting back to the point, there is a reason why people aren’t going to the cinema. Costs are one thing, but mostly, everything arrives on Disney Plus in due time anyway, or Sky Cinema for DC stuff. I just caught up with three movies for £8. If I went to the cinema (which I wouldn’t anyway) and watched them all at their respective times it would be nearly £30. Big difference there. Plus gaming is getting more accessible and stories are more easily to be followed.

I think Disney sees the success Sony is having with Spiderman, and well, you know what that means. It means we’ll have some of that, please.
