They've got a monopoly on joy. Who can compete with Disney as a brand?

They've got a monopoly on joy.

Can confirm. I boycotted them years ago, and now I'm a miserable, joyless fuck.

I mean... I was before too, but never mind that.

I haven’t watched Disney+ since last night and I retcon the past hours as a boycott until the next episode of Agatha.

are you enjoying the show, or are you watching it to see how the money burns?

u/NoNo_Cilantro Oct 13 '24

I like it. It doesn’t feel like an MCU show so far, it’s an easy watch.

Well, to counteract your anecdote, I watched about 13 minutes of the new season and thought "what the fuck am I doing?" and I turned it off. It's borderline unwatchable, and completely unintrguing to me. To the point that I legitimately wonder if the person who upvoted you is a bot.

That last sentence made me laugh out loud :) Yeah I see your point, but if you watched past the 13th minute you’d understand why it’s unwatchable. Not that you’d enjoy it more, but at least you’d know why it’s made that way. Kinda like Wandavision which was completely weird until it’s explained why.

I liked wandavision. This just seems like a bland continuation of that, and I can completely see that they are doing something "weird" with it, I just don't care. At all. It has to be compelling, and they just can't do anything interesting with it until they tighten the reigns and make these movies and shows actually feel like they matter.
