Oh wow
I wonder what Netflix plan is to keep itself afloat?

It's not just because of Marvel but I have already committed to not keeping Netflix. I'm going to have Hulu and Disney+. that's it |

And I can't really think of anything they have that I feel a need to keep them for And, even if you could..., Netflix’s documented business model is to cancel shows at the height of their popularity. Popular shows cost more money to sustain as they become even more popular. Netflix accounting thinks it’s just cheaper and easier to start with a new property. It’s diabolical. |

Wow, I never imagined the day Netflix might actually die, but here we are. It won’t die, but it surely won’t dominate in the space as it previously did when it was basically unopposed. I’m on the fence about giving up my subscription altogether. I’ve enjoyed some of their original features and episodic content; however, as time passes those offerings are becoming weaker and weaker. Netflix has sunk money into a large acquisitions program. It’s too bad they’re not Disney. Disney knows brands everyone will love. Will Millar world really be a thing? |

I'd stay on if they'd just put up the entire roster of "Classic Doctor Who". Alas, though, the BBC insists on selling every individual serial separately and thus even online they get packaged as such. |

Netflix needs better original content. They could do with more shows and movies that will appeal to the whole family rather than just adults or just small children.
I don't think they did the best job with the Marvel content either. The shows felt like they were being pushed to be more gritty and grounded than they should have been.

I don't think they did the best job with the Marvel content either. The shows felt like they were being pushed to be more gritty and grounded than they should have been. My biggest issue with the Marvel Netflix shows was the episode order, other than all three seasons of Daredevil and season 2 of Luke Cage I think all of them would've benefitted from a smaller episode number - Season 2 of The Punisher immediately springs to mind, there was far too much filler and it ran at a much slower pace than necessary for such a character. Budget restriction was also a problem, I'd say the limited budget worked fine for Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Jessica Jones but Iron Fist they bit off more than they could chew and it suffered for it: Danny when you think about could've been the answer to both Thor and Iron Man for The Defenders roster in terms of fantastic ability and wealth but they never really took advantage of that. Regarding Punisher season 2 Jigsaw was a serious let down, mostly because of his appearance though. They kept playing up at how 'horrific' Billy looked but to be honest we've all seen much worse looking people in real life, Jigsaw could still find work as a model, just sayin'. Budget also affected The Defenders, lots of a good set up but the pay off in the last two episodes was just not quite there, I think a lot of us were hoping there would've been something that would've made a lot more people in NYC talking about 'a brand new super team' and whatnot but most of the action took place below a building and we got a building collapsing. I didn't mind the lack of connective tissue with the larger MCU, though it would've been nice to have seen the big ol' Avengers tower here and there even if it were a bit blurred out(at least there's promotional art...) Regarding Netflix in general I totally agree with you, there isn't much middle ground with their content, most of their shows are either TV-Y or TV-MA finding a TV-PG won't be too easy and most of said content are mostly movies and shows that already aired on other networks and came from different studios years prior. They also put out way too much at once, and while having an entire season is nice and all some of their programs I'd argue would work better if released by week, Hulu recognizes this and that's a big reason why I think many are switching over to that app. |

Netflix has sunk money into a large acquisitions program. It’s too bad they’re not Disney. Disney knows brands everyone will love. Will Millar world really be a thing?I'm 50/50 on that possibility, Millar's a good writer but...His stories and characters are not really 'for everybody', he's a visceral-ist who likes to have his characters swear up storms and use non-pc language and loves dialing up the violence to uncomfortable levels. I'd say Matthew Vaughn has been to him what Frank Darabont has been to Stephen King in certain strokes, he made much more accessible versions of Kick-Ass and Kingsman for the screen which meant doing some character reworkings, for instance Big Daddy in the Kick-Ass comic is actually a loser who kidnapped his daughter to live an exciting life telling lies and forcing such a violent life upon her. In the movie, he's an ex-cop who lost a lot to a crime lord and was in many ways betrayed by the system he swore into, his wife is gone so he has no choice but to raise his daughter into such a life and Kick-Ass' debut in the media just inspires their revenge to a more creative and exciting level. The comic version was clever, but made the character near impossible to like, the movie version while cliché was easier to latch onto and like. Vaughn or his writing partner Jane Goldman are not involved with any of the Millar World stuff coming to Netflix so time will tell how the masses react, and how Millar himself will react because he's got quite the ego and I say this as someone who actually quite likes him. |

I was a diehard fan of Millar as a teen, especially after his run on Wolverine. As I’ve gotten older and, my tastes have changed, I find his form of brutal nihilism tedious. His work on the Magic Order for Image is very good though. I think his work is going to need a bit of softening before he really goes mainstream on Netflix. |
