Disney+

Postby Mike » Mon Nov 18, 2019 8:20 am

I'm ambivalent about Disney+, but it turns out that since I have Verizon Unlimited, I get my first year of Disney+ free. Sweet. Took about 30 seconds, and now I have it. Nothing there I'm excited about watching yet, but I've got 12 free months to figure it out.

I’m in the exact same boat.

Make sure to watch Mr. Boogedy to trick Disney into remaking it. Just put it on mute in the background.

I've cancelled my membership after five days. I'm not paying a subscription to see the Mandalorian and some Marvel shows (at some point). I'll just wait and binge it all in a couple months.

Yup. If I was paying for it, I'd be done by now.

My friend gave me his log in and I've watched Mandlorion, Black Cauldron(first time watch) and now just a bunch of Simpsons starting from season 3. I browsed the entire movie library fro A-Z and I was kind of shocked at how LITTLE Fox films made the list, I know its a NO RATED R zone but still, they must be ready to piecemeal the 20th century fox library bit by bit.

I don't know what's wrong with all of you. I've been watching tons of 90's Spider-Man and X-Men cartoons with my kids, and we will eventually move onto Iron Man and the Fantastic Four. We're rewatched Captain Marvel and Wreck-It Ralph. I've finally seen an episode of Gargoyles, which is one of my wife's favorite cartoons. But I'm also a much bigger Disney fan than all of you as well.

I mean I DID watch those toons when I was a kid(maybe a tad to old to catch Gargoyle fever) but don't feel a pressing need to revisit them or force the kiddos to watch them(right now they are content in a endless HEY ARNOLD loop) and the 11 year old is all about youtubers, not about to go yo check out 90s Spider Man.


I've been watching Simpsons tho so I do GET IT, just for me personally the super hero toons aren't my speed, may the light of Allah shine on your family during these binge watching times tho.

For me right now, Disney+ is The Mandalorian and a chance to rewatch a bunch of movies that I saw in the theater and loved. I see virtually every Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars film in theaters and a sizable portion of the rest of Disney's fare. Getting to rewatch them is a cool option, but I never took advantage of it much when the films were on Netflix, so...

But I have 12 months free. By this time next year, they'll have a bunch of Marvel and Star Wars shows, and maybe the Disney Marvel TV-verse will capture my imagination. She Hulk? Moon Knight? Ms. Marvel? What If?? I have high hopes.

By "Verizon Unlimited" do you mean a TV package or a mobile phone package?

So all the non R rated XMEN Films hit this month which is fun, haven't re-visited those in a long time. STILL waiting for some cool FOX library films to quietly get released for those of us who enjoy more eclectic viewing

Is it true that this Disney plus is the only way people can access baby Yoda? WTF. Whoever came up with that is a genius. The whole world, and I mean of all ages and types, is aglow over it.

BABY YODA is a great example of something that can be CUTE and also be mysterious and a way to move the plot. Look at PORGS for the exact opposite of this.

True, the entire point of those other little things seems to be to sell a stuffed animal. Baby Yoda is a genius concept though, like echoes of baby Jesus at Christmas time things... A tiny peaceful creature? It's lucky we don't live in the Middle ages in the west because I would probably be executed for suggesting this parallel. Or really a lot of other times. But think about it, there he is in his modest little brown swaddling, adorable big eyes and ears, bringing hope for peace.
