      Way ahead of you. Disney have been unworthy scumbags in my eyes ever since I read ‘Free Culture’ by Lawrence Lessig many years ago.

      marvel hasnt been pushing out good shows/movies, you arnt missing much. even if you really wanted to see it, i would just look for youtube clips, and save you the trouble when it comes out.

        My joke was more or less on that direction really.

        After endgame, I don’t recall anything really good. Wandavision might have been the best, but not great. Thunderbolt’s was a decent movie for a flight, but hardly a recommendation.

        I have skipped almost everything, so I might have missed something. Fantastic four had OK reaction I guess, might check it out eventually.

        Actually, Spiderman homecoming was good, even if it was nostalgic fan service basically. Maybe deadpool 2, but I don’t know it that counts.

    I said this in another thread but it’s frustrating as hell as a non American that your citizens are being vanished into gulags based on their race, free speech is being silenced, your rights are being pissed on and all your tax money is going to weapons and billionaires. And the best you guys can do is a Disney boycott.

    I don’t personally think cancelling subscriptions will do anything, they honestly do not care because they have millions of other people subscribed to them.

    I honestly hate the hive mind of “we have to cancel our subscriptions to boycott”, let people enjoy their shows.

      No idea what protesting is hey. One person who writes a complaint equals many others who don’t do it but have the same reasons to boycott. Look it up.

      It can have a limited impact on the short term but I agree that it won’t do much. I don’t recall a “boycott giant corporations movements” that changed anything recently. Money comes first, and a mega merger to become even more monopolistic is much more important than a handful of angry customers. We’re at the age of enshittification and fascism. See Reddit as an example. Or Imgur. Now the same thing is happening but with another giant media.

      It’s like people boycotting oil companies because gas prices are too high. They inevitably fail because there’s still plenty of people addicted to oil and gas willing to pay anything to get it.

      Hell, in the current climate, cancelling or boycotting over this could put you on a list of people disagreeing with the government, and get you harassed or imprisoned.

        I know people on this service are big advocates for pirating and shit like that to not give the big corporations any money. I’ve learned that rather quickly in the short amount of time I’ve been here.

      Xactly. Tis a scam. His grandpa was a pimp & grifter. So was his dad. Matter o’ fact, his g’pops certainly made his fortune next to Ruzzia. Odd. Something something, rhymes with Krasnov.

    Finally, the left and the right find one thing they can agree upon. Columbia (the sportswear company) just sent me an ad promoting a Disney event and a Disney line of clothing and I sent a reply that probably no one will see, but I told them they can fuck off with that.
