(1) Do they? It's much smaller than in streaming. And yes I know that companies want to do this, although in the age of rampant piracy I fail to see how blocking the UK and USA for 6 months does anything other than ensure that most people who want to watch your show will have pirated it by the time it becomes accessible legally. And all the enthusiasm for the show or season has dwindled.
(2) Because it's not properly buying it. It's "renting". You don't truly own it digitally. I'm not saying it would be more popular than streaming, but it'd be an alternative way to watch shows, especially shows launched not on a streaming service you subscribe to - and for digital collectors.
(3) Have any video games become subscription based that are not MMOs? I know much of the industry would like to do this, but I don't see how its viable.
Yeah I'm tempted to make a version of "newcommunities" for Kbin since MagHub just doesn't roll off the tongue (and is abandoned, although I doubt that is why it's so weak)
Don’t share or discuss any aspect of the project with anyone who is not NDA’d and does not have a “business related need-to-know.”
Do not blog, tweet or post any social media regarding your work on this project or the project itself.
Your home office must be a fully enclosed private workspace with solid floors, ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling walls.
Any doors and windows must be closed and locked at any time when you are not in the space or when you have sensitive materials out in the open.
All windows must be obscured by frosting, tinting, or covered with closed blinds any time project information is visible.
All device screens must be oriented away from door and window openings (i.e., only the back of the device is visible from outside the room).
All pre-release materials and revelatory documentation such as scripts, etc. must be stored in a locking file cabinet, safe, or similar secure container when not actively in use.
Pre-release materials and revelatory documentation must be within your positive control (i.e., direct visual observation). At no time will pre-release materials or revelatory documentation be left unattended outside a secure, lockable container. This includes meal and bathroom breaks.
Undisclosed people (including family and friends) must not be allowed within your workspace any time revelatory information is exposed.
Janitorial, maintenance personnel, or family members must not be allowed in your workspace unless and only when all device screens are locked and all sensitive material is secured within lockable containers.
You must take responsibility for ensuring you do not dispose of materials in a way that exposes your work to the world. All documentation must be securely shredded using a crosscut paper shredder.
I wasn't specifically referring to gore or violence, but themes - and I wasn't referring to comics specifically, just the bulk of superhero media. There have been some revisionist examples of superhero settings that take an established character and place them in a different context, with more adult HBO-esque themes. But the bulk of the many repeated releases for film every year don't seem to be of that nature.
Was it ever that weird? I feel Superhero fiction has always been for teenagers and kids primarily. What separates it that much from Tokusatsu, barring MA-twists where characters aren't really superheroes?
Song of the Bandits The song on the YT video isn't great here imo, but they actually mix it up in the show proper and use different songs. And some really fit the theme.
If we're talking about music in general through the show rather than just the intro - The Korean High Fantasy series Arthdal Chronicles. Some stunning, music, throughout, the show. It was also kinda like watching a JRPG (even if Korean).
Mine is Babylon Berlin. For fans of Peaky Blinders, Boardwalk Empire, Warrior, Man in the High Castle.
It's a neo-noir thriller series set at the tail end of the Weimar Republic. It deals with the emergence of the Nazis and the breakdown of Weimar democracy. There are 4 seasons out right now.
