:sicko-yes:
Disney is such a colossally fucking huge monopoly that, while I'm sure they don't like it, it is ultimately pretty meaningless
Seriously. There was a major antitrust breakup a half century ago where the movie companies famously were forbidden from owning the production, marketing and distribution of their products. So they all sold off the theaters and let those be independent.
So how the fuck does Disney have its own TV channel and disney+, which has exclusive distribution of most of their content. Same question for Netflix.
Disney also owns news outlets and local tv stations, and newspapers. It's en enormous media behemoth
Edit: digestible info
Edit2: even more
Jesus. Hulu and ESPN too... (I read the link) And that doesn't even get into the theme parks and connected hotels.
I would imagine that they could have what you might describe as "mind control" over the major percentage of people in the west based on how much mental stimulus time they occupy in peoples waking hours.
And don't forget Disney Jr. Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog. 🎶
Oh wow, I didn't know they owned Bossa Studios. Guess Disney money is bankrolling the meme-terrible game industry.
Same question for Netflix.
Netflix at the time of creation was technically not a movie house. They weren't doing productions until about 3-5 years into it (whenever they decided to drop DVD's from the majority of plans). It's only after the service got streaming and that started to get popular licensing films that they decided to do TV/movies.
Unfortunately, I think the MCU is gonna come back to waves of people claiming it's "heralding a return to normalcy". The pandemic may have actually saved it from the natural drop off in viewership that comes from wrapping up an arc.
The liberals will try to "return to normal," they'll try and convince you everything has "returned to normal." They'll throw everything at the wall trying to see what sticks. But the fact of the matter is that the material conditions of the past no longer exist, and we can no more go back to the way things were before the coronavirus, or under Obama, than we can travel back in time to those periods.
This can only mean one thing .... time for
nationalizingbailing out Hollywood.I saw a post on r*dd*t where this couple went to the park literally a few days ago and I'm like "why?"
Disney+ is the only thing saving them at this point, because theaters are closed (or closing), the parks have seen decreased turnout. They delay their films because they are stupid and won't use their service to put out their tent-pole MCU movie (hi, Black Widow not releasing this year), and that's due to Star Wars baby show. Whoever is running Disney needs to just embrace digital at this point.
Trust me, they are. There were articles written months ago about shakeups and massive restructurings at Disney to focus on streaming which don't sound at all temporary.
The problem with shit like Black Widow is just how over leveraged and top heavy some of these Superhero tentpole films are. I made a post here about this but I read a transcript from a roundtable discussion involving a lot of directors and they made mention of the fact that basically these movies are so damn big that if even one of them tanks it could potentially bankrupt a studio. Probably not Disney but even so...what's basically happening here is all the studios are kicking the can down the road basically as long as they can, because they know at some point they are probably going to mark down all these big event pictures as a fairly substantial lost.
People like Patty Jenkins have already been sounding the alarm that theater shutdowns will not be easily reversible. We're going to feel the impact of covid for years. The entire entertainment industry is going to look very different in about two years if not sooner.
BEEP BOOP COMRADE.
