    Wtf is all this Disney plus shit? I kept seeing it searching for a VPN.

    Is Disney actually making shows people watch? Is it like watching a hour and a half tiktok?

    To each their own I guess… At least everyones ripping it instead of paying for it.

      Disney plus has a decent bit of solid content. By saying this you don’t sound edgy and cool like you think you do, you sound dated. It’s okay to accept that Disney makes decent content, they have enough money to. It’s also okay to not like their content. But pretending you’re an ancient ass ostrich with your head in the sand is just cringe.

        Here in Canada Disney+ also has a bunch of Hulu content, NatGeo and other stuff all rolled into one. It is a pretty amazing deal for only ca$12/month

        Why do people think people/me are trying to sound edgy because they don’t understand Disney stuff, lol. Is that what this world has come to…? That’s what people stand for these days…? Disney?

        Man the world’s fucked up these days if you think Disney is a part of everyone’s life… That’s really fucked up on a human scale.

        Why not stand up for something real… Like people getting hurt…? So sick of seeing privileged people not realizing there’s literally an entire world outside of their pop lifestyle.

          If you don’t understand the cultural impact that Disney has then you probably have been living under a rock.

            Disney hasn’t done anything culturally significant in a long ass time. It’s been at least a decade of acquiring mature IPs and grinding them into dust for profit, or remaking shittier live versions of their classic animations. They sucked the magic out of Pixar films in recent years as well.

      How the fuck have you managed to both misunderstand and know so little about Disney+ with the multiple shows that have been major hits? I’m gonna take a guess and say you’re trolling. The multuple star wars and marvel shows that have been talked about absolutely everywhere, it would be incredibly hard to miss any of that.

          I knew this dumb fuck would say he didn’t have time to watch Disney plus, in a piracy community where people download things to spend their time.

          Also he hunts criminals, that’s why he’s here partaking in this piracy community.

          What a dumbass.

            Dude’s obviously mentally unstable and probably a pedophile. It takes a special type of person to shoehorn “child sex trafficking” and multiple references of “jerking off” into a discussion about media server software.

          What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

          For instance I hunt criminals… Way more useful to society than watching Disney plus

          You’re so hardcore. I wish I was like you. /s

          No, you don’t hunt criminals. You pretend to do it, on some random social media network called lemmy.

          I myself also don’t like Marvel, most of Star Wars and the other stuff Disney is pumping out. But what I like even less are people on the internet pretending that they are worth more than others because they watched some crime footage on YouTube.

          Why don’t you get back to topic, which incidentally is Jellyfin and not the content on Disney+? Do you really have nothing of worth to add?

        My roommate and I enjoyed Andor, Loki, and some of the other Star Wars stuff

        But yeah their selection is pretty limited, which is why we cancelled our subscription awhile ago

          Andor was excellent. I was burnt out on Star Wars but buddy insisted. It’s well worth the watch.

          Everything else meh

            Straight up IMO Andor is the best Star Wars show to come out on Disney plus

            The other Star Wars shows that came out on steaming are pretty meh

            Mando was pretty damn good season 1 but quickly turned meh

            Star Wars Visions is worth the watch IMO as some cool Star Wars content but it’s pretty different than the other Star Wars shows which makes it better

        Not at all, I’m far from a die-hard marvel fan and I’ve really enjoyed several of the recent marvel shows. And the multiple star wars shows are the best star wars things since the original trilogy. Lots of stuff other than that too.

        I have a hard time believing anyone has sene ir heard of any of that so little like you guys have, I’ve never had Disney+ (I only download) and use adblockers etc and don’t have any friends that are marvel/Disney fanatics and I still don’t have to do anything to be aware of most of the stuff they release.

          I’m aware of it, I just think the content is terrible. Excluding Loki season 1 and Andor, I guess. But even with those two I’m just so fed up with their franchises, I don’t think I’m gonna watch more of it.

          Add my hat to the “wtf does Disney make anymore?” club. I’ve never watched any SW, anything Marvel, I haven’t seen a Disney movie since VHS was the standard. I have friends who are very much into Marvel movies and even then I couldn’t tell you anything about any of the films, I have absolutely zero interest (there’s a guy with a circle shield with a star on it, I think?).

          Hell, the only content I consume is stuff I find out about organically on my own; I’ve been enjoying my anti-advertising bubble for near two decades. I didn’t even know about a couple of these ‘big name’ studios running streaming services until a show I was actually interested in slid across my radar, and I’m like ‘the fuck, Paramount is doing this now?’. Disney I found out because people were bitching about yet another streaming service, otherwise I’d still be in the dark.

          I grew up in peak Disney content time (90-00, everyone knew about the Disney Channel), and other than a handful of VHS films and Mickey Mouse, they might as well not exist to me. I’m sure there is a ton of stuff like that, where I just have no interest and with the lack of advertising I completely skate on by, none the wiser.

            Disney has acquired Marvel over a decade ago (14 years). They are closer to producing 2 decades of Marvel content (6 years from now) than they are from the date of the initial merger in 2009.

            It’s very similar for Star Wars which was 2012.

            They also still make original kids shows.

            The only way I come across new releases/films are from YouTube recommendations of clips/trailers. And even that stops when the Piped instance where I’m on works properly for me.

            It’s kind of nice but I’ll have to admit that YouTube knows me so well that it’s recommendations are something I actually enjoy. I came to know about the Loki series from trailers on YouTube

            Isn’t it wild that people just assume everyone panders to pop culture?

            It’s pretty dark when you think about it. Like it brings a wave of hopelessness over me.

            Thanks for your balanced minded comment. God knows I can speak like that…

            I haven’t listened to American pop music for over 15 years… Pretty much the same for any media. That stuff never interested me at all. Most of the people I’m friends with don’t mess around with it either.

            …but apparently some people think it’s an integral part of life, lol. That’s just mind blowing.

            I guess I’m “edgy” lmao.

        not gonna lie, i enjoyed Loki… not much tbh… but it was nice to watch while nothing else to do. And i could only enjoy it because i pirated it. Watching it, knowing i paid for it… would’ve made me angry

          The first season was fine, this last season was a waste of time. Each episode amounts to nothing and there is sooo much repetition that I was thrown back to Heroes season 2 during the NBC writers strikes.

          I don’t know if S2 of Loki was the way it is because it was trying to change Kang or because it was trying to be impressive. As of now, it seems like the latter.

          All that said, S2 of Loki was “technically fine”, the acting was decent-good, the visuals weren’t terrible for 90-95% of it, good soundtrack. It was just the premise and how it was written that fell flat for my friend and I, and we’re both just kind of bewildered by the positive reception to it. Like, is the bar that low for people? Were we expecting too much? Is Disney just astroturfing? maybe a little of all 3. But holy heck, compared to other shows like Gen V and Invincible coming out each week we are so hype and sad about those episodes ending and we watch Loki and go… “that was it? ok…”

          I did like the ending, though. Pretty much the only part of the show that wasn’t sci-fi technobabble and actually amounted to something and a smidge of character development. Even still, it was only okay I guess.
