Add my hat to the “wtf does Disney make anymore?” club. I’ve never watched any SW, anything Marvel, I haven’t seen a Disney movie since VHS was the standard. I have friends who are very much into Marvel movies and even then I couldn’t tell you anything about any of the films, I have absolutely zero interest (there’s a guy with a circle shield with a star on it, I think?).
Hell, the only content I consume is stuff I find out about organically on my own; I’ve been enjoying my anti-advertising bubble for near two decades. I didn’t even know about a couple of these ‘big name’ studios running streaming services until a show I was actually interested in slid across my radar, and I’m like ‘the fuck, Paramount is doing this now?’. Disney I found out because people were bitching about yet another streaming service, otherwise I’d still be in the dark.
I grew up in peak Disney content time (90-00, everyone knew about the Disney Channel), and other than a handful of VHS films and Mickey Mouse, they might as well not exist to me. I’m sure there is a ton of stuff like that, where I just have no interest and with the lack of advertising I completely skate on by, none the wiser.
The only way I come across new releases/films are from YouTube recommendations of clips/trailers. And even that stops when the Piped instance where I’m on works properly for me.
It’s kind of nice but I’ll have to admit that YouTube knows me so well that it’s recommendations are something I actually enjoy. I came to know about the Loki series from trailers on YouTube
Isn’t it wild that people just assume everyone panders to pop culture?
It’s pretty dark when you think about it. Like it brings a wave of hopelessness over me.
Thanks for your balanced minded comment. God knows I can speak like that…
I haven’t listened to American pop music for over 15 years… Pretty much the same for any media. That stuff never interested me at all. Most of the people I’m friends with don’t mess around with it either.
…but apparently some people think it’s an integral part of life, lol. That’s just mind blowing.
Disney has acquired Marvel over a decade ago (14 years). They are closer to producing 2 decades of Marvel content (6 years from now) than they are from the date of the initial merger in 2009.

I guess I’m “edgy” lmao.

It’s very similar for Star Wars which was 2012.
They also still make original kids shows.
