Happy New year guys

IngeniousLeez:
Nope...I saw something bout it online. Don't know of it's the one you talking about– is it an Anime??

Yes, it's an anime and you will love it

TheHulk616:
I am so pained

Because DC is far better than Marvel. I understand your pain

abduleez1:
I thought D+ was way lower. That's pretty tight.

D+ is almost half of Netflix wrt subscription numbers

abduleez1:
Nice list.
That Harley Quinn is comedy Gold. Painful I downloaded 4 episodes say make I start film, them ambush my phone.
They're probably too focused on WW84 Performance and ZSJL. Also charting DC future presently with Ambitious Plans.

How far? Have you watched primal?

Battle between WW84 and Soul over the weekend. Remember, D+ has far more US subscribers than HBOmax

I believe once D+ starts rolling in Marvel stuff, their subscribers will increase, same for HBOmax when more DC stuffs are released

UPDATE:

Joker is still among the top 10 most watched PVOD on fandango even after over a 1year+. Seeing BOP in top 10 makes me proud

philfearon:
Lol... You are just underating Netflix based on assumptions and unverified data.

Let's stick to the facts for now!

Assumptions and unverified data? Lol...I state facts bro.

Also, I'm not underrating Netflix, the handwriting is already there for all to see, it's just a matter of time as the war just started.

D+ is already giving netflix a difficult time in the UK. When HBOmax enters the UK too, what do you think will happen?

Netflix's huge streaming monopoly is about to end. It's just a matter of time.

pu7pl3:
What's that Lovecraft country all about?

It is highly recommended. A must watch

philfearon:
The Stock don't lie!

The Bring Netflix Down campaign is not working! Netflix is already the game changer. Disney+ and co will continue to play catch up for the moment...

The effect won't be immediate na. Come back in 2-3 years and check again.

D+ as it stands has almost 50% of netflix subscriber numbers in just 1yr+( without new marvel content o). Netflix built theirs in over 10 years. And most popular shows that netflix subscribers love are being pulled out.

It's just a matter of when

What you guys think?

Although I believe they got the Snyder part wrong, cos if the snyder cut is successful, there will be more demand for Snyder content.

Superhero shots

Nice

philfearon:
Lol. Marvel Comics and Star Wars Franchise can't sustain the service all year long. What of non-fans of both franchises?

Netflix has more than enough content to sustain it for the next ten years... and they're all from versatile contents across the world. Basically, Netflix gets new content each week. User Data has also ensured that Netflix will consistently bring out shows that Trend Globally...e.g the current Barbarians Show.

Netflix isn't built around Superhero movies or a specific franchise. When it comes to global franchises too, Netflix has it all.

Think

Apart from stranger things and Umbrella academy, which other popular/global franchise does Netflix have (not purchased movies/shows) that can go toe on toe with popular franchises like DC, Marvel, Star wars, LOTR, GOT, Harry Porter, etc? How many people even know of the barbarian show? Can this show go head on head with other major franchise and stand its own?

Forbes wrote an article on this, no need for me to say more.

And who told you I haven't seen both. They're both good but they don't come close to Lovecraft Country.
Only The Boys might be good enough to stand up to Lovecraft Country.

The Boys Season 1 was superb but the season 2 is yet to reach those levels. Got 5 more episodes to round it up.

Lovecraft Country is one of the best tv shows this year, I wonder why the delay in announcing a season 2?

Top recommended 2020 tv shows;

1. Lovecraft country
2. Raise by wolves
3. The Boys
4. The Mandalorian
5. Doom Patrol (that Jesus scene still dey crack me up till date )
6. Harley Quin show
7. Primal
8. Blood of Zeus

Honourable mentions; The flight attendant, The Undoing (I haven't watched both but people said it's really good)

pu7pl3:
Even Kidflash and impulse are all faster than them...

Abi o

Smart move. Jobs are nothing but prison.

It;s best to be self employed

abduleez1:
Lol, I concur.

That's what I'm waiting for BW in Streaming.

Shang Chi looks like one doing the WB hybrid~ Simultaneous Streaming and Theatrical.

I think so too. They might experiment with Shang chi before releasing BW

pu7pl3:
I know it's DC's official charts but I don't agree with it...Shazam is faster than both cheetah and wonder woman

I surprise sef because shazam suppose to have the speed of Mercury

nani667:
Apparently the babe is rapid...

Hmm, never knew cheetah was faster than WW and Shazam

abduleez1:
Hmm, True. In terms of Content Pull out after contract ends, I think Netflix already prepared for that. With the massive pull outs of Friends SNL and the likes I thought Netflix will be reeling but they still hold firm...

I agree with you though, we won't know who's winning the War cos we just seeing Battles won and lost now. Not until 2022 we'll know who the true Players are. Battle for Top 3 Remains and Market Share between the big 4( Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, HBOMAX). So far so good Netflix and Disney+ and to a lesser extent Amazon has been winning this year.

End of 2022 is when full stats and evaluation begins to pour in how each fared. Cos that's the year of Reckoning. . HBOMax and Disney+ will have been perfecting their Global reach and their biggest contents/Titles might have arrived with full force. Then we'll be able to judge.

<<<<<<<<2022>>>>>>>>
Disney would have launched about 5 or six Marvel shows on D+. Some additional Star Wars shows and some Live Action Adaptations of Disney/Pixar heading to D+.

Netflix would have fully established their Witcher universe, Avatar would have been released that year. The Sandman also debuting in 2021/22.

Amazon Would have released LOTR in 21 or later 2022. Wheel of Time should have had a headstart. The Boys continues to cement itself massive cult following and casual audiences.

HBOMax would have released SnyderCut, Matrix 4, Mortal Kombat and the GOAT~ GOT Prequel debuts in 2022. Green Lantern Corps and Justice League Dark series must have debut that Year, HBOMax also spreads its wings worldwide. Lovecraft Country gets its Cult following. DC films start releasing HBOMax targeted Movies.

It's a hugely competitive year both in Theatrical Box Office Domination(DC Vs Marvel/ Disney Vs WB Vs Universal) and Streaming bragging rights.

That year is the year when we'll know who's Top Dog and who Viewers will prefer to align with.

I pray WB fared well. Disney will get the job done(Theatrical at least). Netflix shouldn't be counted out. Amazon got a Joker Card in LOTR. Let's wait and see.

Disney will have no choice than to release either Shang chi, BW or eternals next years as keeping them will make 2022 slate too crowded even for them. Las las, it will end up on streaming

abduleez1:
Why should we remove Disney+?? They're the Cheapest even tho they're bumping the price up next year and they've got a massive Rise in Subscribers. Those Franchises they've amassed alone is Tantamount to Success~ [ Star Wars, Marvel, Fox, Pixar and Disney].
Through Netflix is far Ahead at this point. It's still early days and they'll be comfortable for now, not until 2022 and the Tides brings its waves along. That year is the precipice.

Even without Disney+ and HBOMax, Netflix got Amazon to think of– which happens to be the only streamer with Hundreds of Millions of Subscribers after Netflix. The LOTR Amazon is releasing ehn, if it truly plays to its strengths it should Rattle Netflix gains and easily puts Amazon on a pedestal of almost equal competition.
I'm just pained AT&T couldn't nab LOTR series, it would have been very easy for world Dominion with HBOMax.

They can help themselves now by Acquiring ailing MGM which is Home to James Bond and willing to sell to the highest bidder now for about $5.5bn. just too bad AT&T is in Neck Deep Indebtedness~ over $150bn.

Exactly, D+ shouldn't be written off yet. However, don't be pained for LOTR series because from what I read, that series cost a fortune to buy and make. It cost Amazon $1bn to purchase tv show rights from WB/Author and will cost a lot to produce. Also, WB will get a percentage from the cash made on it

philfearon:
Remove Disney+ from that equation. HBOmax will try, but Netflix is far ahead at this point. HBO and DC alone can't feed HBOmax the type of steady content they need to compete with Netflix at this point. Why? CBM is just a genre. Too much of it, you will get tired! The merging of HBO and CINEMAX is a good start. But, as you can see, it still did not do it.

Don't be too quick to write off D+ yet, as it has two very popular franchises (Marvel and Star wars) aside it's classic animations and espn. Currently, D+ subscribers has reached 83m(although the cheap subscription fee is a major factor) , which almost half of Netflix 200m subscribers and achieved in less than 1 year+.

HBOmax also is gaining far more grounds despite starting off poorly, being the most expensive streaming service and only available in the US, and they are getting more and more subscribers each day.

As we speak, Netflix is losing a lot of it's beloved TV shows as most are either cancelled or pulled out. For example Chilling adventures of sabrina was cancelled (or quickly ended) by Netflix despite huge popularity. I came to find out that it is a DC owned comic. Meaning WB has the rights to it and might have pulled the plug just like how marvel did with Dare devil. Same thing is likely to happen to Lucifer on Netflix.

Currently, Netflix brasil tweeted to its followers that they are stopping some of their popular shows. Guess the streaming service those shows are going to? Over time, they will lose subscribers of these beloved shows to competition and will be greatly affected in the long run as major studios will keep unplugging and removing their movies/shows from netflix.

Netflix needs to wake up and act fast by releasing top content regularly or face the consequences of the streaming wars in the long run imo

abduleez1:
Heard of Static Shock going into production. Thought it was for theatrical.

Shame, I would have preferred it in Theatrical DCEU. Getting a solo movie for a Black Superhero Character. It would have been very popular with the PG-13 audience.

Static shock and Batgirl are likely to be both on streaming and theatrical just like WW84

abduleez1:
I think Netflix will survive. They're a powerhouse and got the financial muscle and content to counter the 2 New Bigshots.

They ain't slouching either. Netflix is also on a rampaging run to acquire Big Titles in Big or Popular Genres. Eg They Acquired The Witcher and we saw how big and so talked about it was for them. They got Avatar: The Last Airbender rights also– that's a huge fandom from Anime fans and Gen X and Z audiences.
They also recently acquired DC's The Sandman and are currently in production, filming the Series starts soon if not already. They also got Stranger Things(which I'm yet to watch ).

Amazon is doing same with the painful acquisition of LOTR. I would have loved the series on HBOMax so it can be bigger with more critical mass of Big Titles. They acquired also upcoming Wheel of Time.
These big studios I mentioned know how important it is to invest Big in Fantasy or Adventure Titles. Reason why Apple TV is trying that with SEE.
All in all na we the viewers go enjoy am. Especially Fantasy Junkies like meself.

The only people I pity is Peacock and the likes especially Apple TV+.

You have a point. However, i believe Netflix will face a huge challenge with beloved contents being pulled out permanently from their streaming service.

Disney has pulled out most of their Marvel shows and likely to pull out major contents once their contract with Netflix expires. Same with WB, Sony, Universal etc.

Other streaming service like Amazon are making Superhero shows like The Boys, and LOTR show (cost them $1bn for tv rights)

Netflix most popular shows are Stranger things and Umbrella Academy. And I don't think UA can match the boys or marvel or DC shows.

The reason why they aren't shaking yet is because they are more grounded and world wide, but in time HBOmax and D+ will likely push it out of the number 1 spot.

We have to wait and see sha.

As for peacock, since their content is free I don't mind subscribing once available in africa

abduleez1:
And the stupid Jokers had the guts to threaten WB with tickets price cuts.
With this move they'll be begging for salvation. If this stats continues WB will be in a high pedestal to dictate sharing formula(maybe 60/40% or 45/55% for blockbusters) and how long movies spend on cinemas and on primetime.

They'll be begging WB now as there are the only studios rn ready to release their top rated movies on both streaming and in cinemas

Thanks baba.

More power to your elbows and more money in your pockets come 2021

WB saving cinema once again

Nickshrapnel:
perhaps he was attempting decapitation, either ways, it is a stupid move since Ultron body was made from Vibranium it’s gonna be impossible to achieve that with bare hands

Lol, abi o

abduleez1:
I swear, two of them dey craze. Marvel announced their four movie slate, announced series join. WB got ingenious and say they can do better.

When I first tell person say 2022 go be War for CBM dem think say I dey joke. That time na 4 Vs 3 sef, now it's equal theatrically. HBOMax (AT&T) is really going all out. Them wan promote that thing die. It seems WW84 gave them the raw stats they needed to be sure of next decision.

Now HBOMax is next DC home. It's actually good for some characters to get a solo film if not in the big screen.

I think both studios have realized that to win the streaming wars, you need to feed the fans regular content that they want.

For example, the mandalorian is a huge success on D+. With the release of some of their Marvel movies on D+, it will attract more fans.

Same thing WB is doing. They are creating more DC movies for HBomax and also making more Game of thrones series for HBOMax.

Las las, na Netflix I dey pity cos the competition will be too much for them to handle.

I might be wrong though

TheKingIsHere:
Food for thought.

Na marvel fan talk am o, you can go and attack him on twitter

Justification to this guy tweet.

*Food for thought*

abduleez1:
I swear the trolling between the fandom no be here. The funny thing is na Bale Batman dey suffer the thing pass, the trolling ehn. Dem don relegate am, even Pattinson wey never come out get level pass am like dis.

With this HBOMax DC content craze Batfleck looks set to get his movie.
My own be say that 2022 I wan see my New Gods movie if not I go vex. That project don dey chip dust and no news for over a year.

Same here bro.

I need new gods content right now. But I have a feeling that they paused it so that Snyder fans don't get worked up.

Remember, we are likely to get two different Darkseid las las

abduleez1:
Lol, you beat me to it sha.....

I just spend several minutes dey reread that news I forget to post am here.

It's six in Total...
This one madt gon.

Infact eh. DC and Marvel no go kee persin

I read that Batgirl and Static Shock are going to HBOmax from next year.

After reading the news, I'm like;
