I agree. It's a slippery slope. I don't think it will happen with the Mandalorian, but it is possible with some other Star Wars or Marvel project. The door has been opened.Clindor wrote:The appreciation for “The Mandalorian” is huge, and so it is for Marvel. If they need money to keep investors interested, I do think they could easily change their initial plan, regardless of what was the original concept for Disney+. And what is happening with ‘Mulan’ is imo a huge step to this.
I think if they had just put Mulan on regular PVOD like other studios did, there would be less backlash. What people fear is that if this experiment is successful, not only Disney will keep doing it, but other studios will follow suit and there will end up being a premium section on every major SVOD service which is terrible news for the consumer.nomad2010 wrote:Seems to me this would’ve worked better if Disney had just said they were allowing it to be rented or purchased on Movies Anywhere and called it quits. I agree, having a paid section within the app is confusing. I buy all my digital copies through Vudu and Movies Anywhere and now I’m paying $30 to basically add a movie to my Disney+ account but don’t get the digital copy myself? It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
