Considering Andor is the only thing Marvel or Star Wars has produced that is actually aimed at adults and it got the numbers that it did, I doubt replicating that will be a priority anywhere in the business

That's the problem with having infinite money you can throw on CGI (albeit it still looks shit), but then you choose to skimp out on actually good writers. It just ends up becoming this supremely generic CGI clusterfuck.

Meanwhile HBO chooses to put the budget required for the stuff that needs the high budget, but has way more focus on high quality, well written shows. With the budget Disney+ puts into one show, HBO can make 5-6 well written shows and they can all be critically acclaimed.

It's not just saturation of content, it's oversaturation of how similar they are. They are also way too focused on pleasing all these minorities and pointing fingers at "hey, I bet you've never seen a lesbian character portrayed in a big budget show, or a Bi character, or a muslim character, or a indian etc", the list goes on and on. Don't try to please every type of audience, that's just gonna set you up to fail, concentrate on making good content, and either while it airs or in the long run, the seeds you sow will grow.

I know for sure I don't have any desire to rewatch any of the Disney+ shows. But with other shows I have gone back and watched so many scenes and whole episodes because I just wanna relive the moment.

This is going to be a controversial take but I think that Disney’s pursuit of presenting an ideal ideological universe in marvel and Star Wars has made the content fairly hollow. I mean to say that there is an emphasis on putting together multicultural cast, on female participation on the writing and directing side. This wouldn’t be problematic if those creatives earned their spot and weren’t just a story artist with a novel idea or if the characters in the shows/movies had a genuine background that brought them together. There is nothing wrong with women’s voices or diverse casts, but when you insist on framing the women characters as anti-establishment and against a patriarchal foe, or act like racism hasn’t created inequities that shape a characters experience and attitude, everything comes off as pandering and insincere

I'm hoping Andor gets renewed and maintained as a passion project because it's the only prestige thing to come out of Star Wars since the Disney acquisition. It's the only meaningful fuckin thing come out of Star Wars since TLJ....only less controversial because it doesn't involve the franchises favorite Marty Stu.
