Disney+ just brought this home for me. If you wanna binge, go for it. I have a friend waiting to do that. But week to week is just so much more fun when the show is entertaining and fun.

Well those people can simply wait for the show to wrap up to do that. Some shows it's better to release it weekly, WandaVision is one of them.
Also I recall some people in the OT saying it was a mistake to not make it a binge series because of the show's supposed slow start, but clearly that was wrong.
Ooh that'd be a great idea
Certain people thinking Endgame would gross less than Infinity War was some of the funniest shit I've ever read.
Feige is the architect of the success and says "no"
Can't make a billion dollars at the box office if people can catch it at home on a free trial or whatever. Besides Trolls World Tour, has anything had a successful streaming launch anyway?
It's fucking wild to see Wiccan and Speed fanart on my timeline. I wanna scream "YEAH! NOW ALL Y'ALL ARE COMING TO UNDERSTAND!"
I think it's safe to say by now that Star Wars and Marvel will be absolutely huge in the TV space.
I will say that I don't know if WandaVision has broken through on a cultural level the way Mandalorian did, but it's a different set of circumstances.

I'm really excited by the idea of a Young Avengers show with the two of them as part of the team.
I'm also counting the days til we get a Hulkling cast.
...Secret Invasion?
While I have no doubt the show is huge and a massive success-never trust any of these articles where the source of the data is "Parrot Analytics". There is no legitimacy to their analytics-its all guesswork and for some reason people takes them seriously because it allows them to write clickbait articles with a sus source.
That option becomes available on March 5th.
Agreed, and not just online. I've enjoyed speculating with friends, too, and I don't have to worry about everyone being at a different point in the show.
The weekly threads for 24 on the old site were amazing, those were the days
I mean, it's really good.
The only things that the people I talk with about it that we'd like changed are like..."Episodes 1 and 2 could have been 1 hour long episode with a good split in the middle", "Mork and Mindy would have been a better base than the Brady Bunch", "Some of the easter egg pans are a little too quick".
But we have no ACTUAL complaints thus far. They made me like the annoying girl from Thor. That takes a lot.

There is something to be said for having time to think about an episode, absorb the events that happened, and spend a week in conjecture about what's going to happen next. I really miss sitting around the lunch table at the office talking about last night's episode of whatever.
That and Lost. Was wild to have brand new threads every week.
Yes.
People always have the option to wait and binge at the end if that is the person's prefured viewing method.
Yeah it's become an weekly major event in my house on Friday's. I make dinner and we watch it together. One week we were free earlier in the day and I suggested watching it at noon but my daughter insisted it has to be saved to be watched at night. The entire family loves it and we're thrilled we have a long schedule in front of us with a Friday event.
Any day now.
And people thought audiences aren't still thirsty as hell for the MCU.
The numbers also grow because people hear about something popular and they want to get in on the cultural moment of that week-to-week social experience. With a binge format I think people are more likely to just add it to their watch list and put it on the back burner because there is no weekly discourse where things are still developing and everyone is on the same page.
Good.
Something the fatigue people seem to forget is that superheroes always have and always will thrive when the world is in dark places.
They were there to lift people up during the Great Depression and WW2. They're here to lift people up during Iraq, 9/11, Trump, COVID, etc.
If people want superhero fatigue to actually happen, nothing quicker would cause it than governments across the world being so competent and amazing that left wing policies cause the gap between rich & poor to loosen up and most people to be not only out of poverty but with no worries and peak happiness.
If people are actually happy and positive and don't have worries, there's little need for superhero escapism.

Olsen and Bettany have the chops to carry the MCU on their backs. Olsen is wonderful and she's so underutilized so far.
Never once did, but even I was shocked it smashed Infinity War's opening weekend the way it did. That was cathartic for a massive MCU fan and Box Office follower like me.
My favorite is "Director Hayward! You can use the letters in his name can spell HYDRA. That's who is behind this!!"
It's an awesome show. It's really demonstrating that MCU content can be varied and interesting. I'm pretty excited for the other D+ shows in the pipeline.
They should. Every episode feels like 5 minutes long. More things need to happen.bUt ThEy ShOuLd JuSt ReLeAsE iT AlL aT oNcE.
Yeah, I did the same thing last night. I was busy most of the day, and then wrapping things up at 5:00, and I'm like "Oh, shit, new episode of WandaVision!" and hurried up dinner.
As a business they shouldn't. Weekly allows their service to dominate the conversation for two months straight. Folks can always wait after all the eps are released if they don't like the pace.
Seems Sony made a reasonable purchase with Crunchy Roll.
Anime is the future, today!

Marvel bubble just refuses to burst
Well deserved.
This the main reason I wait for a full season to be finished lol.
Even though WV has me every week.
It's a fun show. My son and I are watching it every Friday.
Works great on weekly release. Gives so much space to actually talk about a show instead of binge and move on.

I think Covid was the best thing to happen to the MCU after Endgame/Far From Home. It gave everyone a "break" from the MCU. Instead of leading 2020 with Black Widow which looks like it would have been a "more of the same" style film, we came back with WV which has been very different from what's come before.
And before people jump down my throat, I'm sure if covid hadn't happened BW would have done very well. I think nothing stops the marvel train at this point. I just think the buzz WV has gotten is really big, and depending upon how it ends will be a crazy strong hook for the future of the MCU.
Rocket and Groot was the point at which people should have stopped doubting Marvel Studios. I'll be generous and extend that to Ant-Man MAYBE. Now, they just look stupid when they keep doing it.

I don't want to make this thread a Marvel vs DC thread...
But at this point I actually feel bad that Marvel can literally make a fucking black and white sitcom starting it's superhero characters and make it a hit while WB couldn't make it to two movies without making Wonder Woman a boyfriend obsessed potential rapist in what was supposed to be a standard WW vs Cheetah movie...
Like, it's not even funny anymore...
