Something that can’t suddenly disappear from your shelf because some turd in an office somewhere changes the licensing details on some property or another.

Only until Hasbro makes its own streaming service.

The dynamics of the industry are pretty fascinating, and there are definitely going to be some entrants that fall flat on their face.

I think there’s a lot of people who are totally comfortable with the idea of having multiple streaming subscriptions. If you think of them like add-on cable packages, they’re actually…

Disney being cynical and exploitative? Now I’ve heard everything!

I love having my favorite shows on Blu-ray/DVD. Netflix etc is nice, but they can take stuff down whenever they want.

Oh, if it’s something I absolutely want, I’ll buy a physical copy of it. The way that Marvel packages their Blu Rays with a DVD AND a digital copy is a godsend.

Ironically, that girl’s burn is hot enough to melt steel beams.

I believe there is a future for this show that leans away from Seth’s worst tendencies and leans into being just a fun, light take on Star Trek where Discovery seems to…

And they’ll continue to complain when people come up with creative new ways to pirate stuff.

So we’ve got a 21st century equiv to “The Emperor’s New Clothes”....

The only way this Disney streaming service matters is if it’s fully comprehensive. If it has things coming on and offline due to the vault or some marketing team, fuck it. If I can’t log in any time of any year and watch Black Cauldron, Darby O’Gill and the Little People, and the 1975 Escape to Witch Mountain, then…
