AGATHA ALL ALONG Still Highlights The Spin-Off's Witches As Jac Schaeffer Says, "Get Ready For Some Songs"

@Urubrodi - I would love if they did Satana. Sidney Sweeney could be a good choice for Satana

@MarvelousMarty - nah we already hit bottom with the Marvels. Anything else will get the not so bad label at the worst.

@Matchesz - Some do. Comics fans aren't a monolith. Women and LGBTQ folks and musical fans read comic books, buy movie tickets, and watch TV shows. I know it wasn't like that when we were kids, it was very much a boys club back then. But now, fortunately, that's changing.

@MuadDib - The certainty that y'all have that a show will be, not just "not for you," but also objectively bad is absurd. Life is a lot more enjoyable if one is open to being surprised and delighted, I promise.

@MuadDib - "it’s not about it being good or bad, it’s about it being a waste of resources."

So, if it's good, it will still have been a waste of resources?

"Disney has already said they don’t want to continue sinking money into what ultimately turns out to be flops and losers."

I imagine they wouldn't have made it if they thought it was going to be a flop or a loser.

"You think this is going to be a huge draw with the general audience?"

Isn't the point of the D+ shows to tell smaller stories that don't have to appeal to a broader general audience?

"You think it’s going to spawn a franchise or boost toy sales?"

It's a spin-off, it's literally already part of a franchise. As for toy sales, who gives a shit, I guess?

"It could be incredibly done and have no impact whatsoever on the grander continuity of the MCU which makes it pointless."

So, standalone stories that are pointless, regardless of how good they are? Do you ever watch movies that aren't part of a franchise? Because there are A LOT of good movies that don't have sequels, as well as single-season TV shows.

"Marvel should be directing time, money and energy to project that A) fans actually want, B) have the potential to bring meaningful character arcs to established entities and C) lead to such interest that new ppl subscribe to D+ or buy merchandise or spins off into a movie."

And since the show hasn't been released yet, you have no reason to believe that none of those things will happen. I mean, clearly, you do, I just don't know what they are beyond "Doesn't look like the kind of thing that I, personally, like to watch."

"the big picture is it’s gonna flop regardless of what a few fans think. Ironically Marvel fans have set a high bar for what’s considered a success, this will fall far far short of that bar"

Literally impossible to know any of that. Pure speculation based on . . . again, I don't know what. Musical shows, shows about witches and/or the supernatural, female-driven comedy, drama, and horror shows . . . all of these have been huge hits under other circumstances. Just because you aren't excited about this show doesn't mean that no one is. I am, for example. I like Hahn, and Plaza, and the supporting cast, and the trailers look like fun. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@byrd42 - This is exactly what I’m saying. She’s a nobody, getting an entire series and now it’s a musical? 🤯

How many other characters are we still waiting to see for the first time and but we have to wait longer so they can push this out? Gtfo 🤦🏻‍♂️
