Netflix Marvel shows are coming to Disney+
A few years ago, Netflix viewers got a handful of spectacular shows based on Marvel characters. These shows include Daredevil, Luke Cage, The Punisher, Iron Fist, and Jessica Jones. Most of these were well-received, but they came out at a weird time. This was the time that Disney was developing its own streaming service. This led the shows to be canceled in 2019. Even though they were canceled, Netflix still streamed them until March 1st, 2022. Now, the shows are no longer on Netflix, and they’re moving over to Disney+. One reason why these shows weren’t on the service, to begin with, was the darker and more adult nature of these shows. These Netflix Marvel shows definitely stray more into the adult side of things than, say, Infinity War; and that movie killed literally half of the universe. However, these Marvel Netflix shows, along with Agents of SHIELD, will hop over onto Disney+ on March 16th. This will fill out the roster Marvel shows on the platform even more, which a lot of people will enjoy. These shows got some good ratings and a good fan base.
Disney+ is suggesting you to update your parental controls, however
While Disney is bringing these shows onto its streaming service, the company is still going to take some precautions. As stated, these shows are a bit darker and grittier than most of the content on Disney+, so Disney is suggesting people update their parental controls. You’ll be able to set a rating limit for each profile so that kids won’t accidentally stumble on something inappropriate. Along with that, you’ll be able to set PINs for mature content (shows like Daredevil are rated MA). If your child wants to exit their child profile, they will need to answer a question to do so. This seems like a reasonable compromise for Disney. The company has to admit that, while its content appeals to children, there’s an adult audience as well. The kids who grew up watching Toy Story on VHS are now watching Encanto and Onward. There’s a large base of adult watchers, and the company should be able to cater to them. On March 16, when these shows land, you’ll be prompted to update your parental settings. If you don’t have any child settings, then you shouldn’t have to worry about it.
