Reply to comment by TheSeventhAnimorph in Was the fox buyout worth it for Disney? by CardiologistOwn5612
Selling their stake means losing 45 million subscribers and a lot of content that Hulu directly owns. I think they don't want to do that. Also, they are in an already competitive market and they don't want to strengthen Comcast or anyone else's position by serving Hulu on a platter. This is my theory but it also logically makes sense to me at least.

>Disney plus' strength lies in star wars, marvel and other traditional kids disney assets.
While it is true for the US and Latin America, those Fox assets are used to a much greater effect on Disney+ in other territories. Disney+ is not just a babysitter service internationally. They have all the FX, Hulu and 20th Television shows which are the best part of Disney+ imo. I believe that if it wasn't for Hulu, they'd have brought everything to Disney+ in the US. But as long as Comcast owns a portion of Hulu they can't kill and have no option but to maintain that service.

I watched Community for the first time on Sony LIV and they always used to ruin the Abed and Troy gags at the end of the episode. Most of the time it would just skip to the next episode before the gag finished. It was so annoying.

For those who missed it: There's a really cool post credits scene at the end.

Disney+ would be so successful if these shows were movies. Turner & Hooch, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Boba Fett, Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Hawkeye and probably a lot of other shows I haven't watched. They have a problem of taking shallow ideas that would work as a movie and turning them into shows.

Leave the dude alone for one second. Anyone in his place would've taken the role considering how big 'The Witvher' is. The only entity that needs to be blamed here is Netflix for not making sure that the writers they hired cared for the show they were making.

Regardless of their recognition, most of the cast is extremely good at delivering the material they are given. There are some flaws with the written material for sure but it could easily improve with the upcoming seasons. I liked the show regardless of those issues, mostly ig because I watched it myself before reading tons of unnecessary reviews and articles with an agenda.

It's on both Netflix and Prime Video in Australia as per JustWatch. And it's not streaming in New Zealand anywhere.
So it's either getting removed from Netflix and Prime Video or Aussies are going to get a third option to watch it.

In every country actually. It's just the US and Latin America which are exceptions as Disney owns separate streaming services for mature content in both these regions.

Reply to comment by Solid_Rice in Opinion | ‘House of the Dragon’ and ‘The Rings of Power’ Both Use Diverse Casting. One of Them Does It Better. by Solid_Rice
I read the article and it uses the logic of HOTD to define how races should work in LOTR. In HOTD they are telling the story of a family or dynasty and the race of the characters is important to be kept in a line which signifies blood relations.
There are some flaws with the storytelling of ROP for sure but diverse casting isn't one of them. This continued discussion on the diversity in ROP is becoming stale now and people (including the author) should move on from it.

I didn't see any issues with the diverse casting on either of the shows. None of them felt on the nose to me personally. I don't like this continuous comparison between these two shows as I believe they are different types of shows even though they are telling fantasy stories. One show is focused on the drama and the other is more focused on the fantasy elements. It's an unfair comparison as the source materials for both differ very much and these articles at this point are getting ridiculous and most probably being created as clickbait and nothing else.

Rings of Power will also appeal to families much more because it's not hardcore with sex and language like HOTD.

A lot of FX's Hulu exclusive shows are limited series. Actually almost every single FX made Hulu Original has been a limited series except for only Reservation Dogs iirc.
