@Nmyownworld @ValueSubtracted What I struggle to understand is how they don't immediately see how this will only undermine subscriber confidence

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's the hot new trend - Warner and Disney have each done the same thing.

[–] NuPNuA@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I mean, kind of, Disney hasn't burnt any Marvel if Stat Wars shows.

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

They've pulled a lot of other stuff, including Marvel's Runaways, which you may or may not count as a "Marvel show".

[–] NuPNuA@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Point taken, but I don't feel like a long dead show that was dropped from canon almost as soon as it aired is the equivalent of a currently in production canon Trek show.

[–] Continuumguy@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Disney did pull a few things Marvel, but they weren't prime MCU. They were all documentaries, time-sensitive hype pieces, or shows of dubious canonicity to the MCU.
