Twenty years ago we cut cable and joined Netflix in the hope that it would be a one-stop shop for video entertainment; five years ago we stopped getting DVDs from Netflix and subscribed to Disney+; now, the Disney+ subscription is set to cost double what it cost 5 years ago, so we've canceled Disney+ for now.
What we'll likely do moving forward is to selectively turn streaming services on and off, depending on what we want to watch that month. We've been expecting this outcome for several years, which sadly puts an extra burden on the consumer to keep track of what is available on which service, and stopping and starting services.
Before canceling Disney+, we did watch Deadpool and Wolverine. I liked the running gag about Thor. I thought Emma Corwin was fantastic. Turning "saving your universe" into "saving the multiverse" was a little tired. It was great to see Jennifer Garner, Wesley Snipes, and Dafne Keen; I could wish that their roles were a little more meaningful here.
