“According to the Mouse House, the Marvel Television series drew 7.5 million views in its first five days of availability on Disney+,” gushed the far-left Variety, but not before opening the article with this bald-faced lie: “Daredevil: Born Again enjoyed a strong launch on Disney+.”Personally, I'd rather read the original Born Again storyline from DD in the mid-80s, and own it in a trade paperback. This is another clue it's not going well for the Marvel live action franchise, and honestly, it's time to retire it. Even one of Frank Miller's better stories from years before deserves far better than what's on the market now in terms of adaptations.
Unless you’re happy to live inside Disney’s ass (like Variety), by no standard—and I mean, no standard, is 7.5 million views over five days strong.
That Park Place did some real reporting, crunched the numbers, employed something called “context,” and laid out the facts.
“For comparison, The Acolyte—a series that performed so poorly it was shelved after one season—managed 11.1 million views in its first week,” the site reports, adding that those numbers were considered “underwhelming, coming in 3 million below Ahsoka.”
“Even Agatha All Along, widely regarded as a disastrous misfire for Marvel streaming, managed 9.3 million in its first week.”
Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.
