 I mean outside of his whole planet-eating bit. Yeah, but I mean like a lot of I just a lot of the heroes that Marvel used in I mean they iron man is that they weren't a listers until the MCU made them a listers So I got a pretty a list a listy guy. I will say that No, not like not like spider-man or the X-men like or fantastic But like it is a totally different. It's a totally different tier of characters. I would argue We'll continue this argument after we break for 30 minutes of tech news. Yeah, that's right All right, everybody ready. Yep, here we go in three two Stacey moors has supported independent tech news directly for five years I'm gonna be like Stacey become a DTNs member at patreon.com slash DTNs This is the Daily Tech News for Friday May 3rd 2019 in Los Angeles on Tom Merritt It's free comic book day weekend I'm Len Peralta and that the show's producer Roger Chang Sarah Lane's off today, but we're happy to have Ashley Esqueda host of stream economy with us Ashley. Welcome back. Hello friends Good to have you Thank you very much If you don't know Ashley is expecting. What are you expecting? I hope it's a human. Yeah I'm with you a hundred percent behind that expectation We are gonna talk about Game of Thrones and the black levels of Game of Thrones Was it too dark? Why was it even considered dark? Why was it considered too dark all that coming up? But let's start with a few tech things you should know Microsoft launched Azure blockchain services a managed enterprise service that provides for the formation management and governance of Consortium blockchain networks So it's just blockchains as a service But the consortiums can use it the service integrates with Azure Active Directory It is meant to allow organizations to build apps on top of blockchain technology service launches with support for JP Morgan's quorum ledger Microsoft also launched an extension for visual studio code to let users create and deploy Ethereum smart contracts to Azure blockchain service or a public chain the Guardian newspaper reported an operating profit of 0.8 million pounds. That's 800,000 pounds for 2018 2019 It's the first profit for the newspaper since 1998 back in 2015 the paper had an operating loss of 57 million pounds That's when editor in chief Catherine Viner took over and began a policy of Trying innovative things including a splash screen that any Guardian reader has seen asking users to contribute money Without putting up a paywall to the articles And it seems to be working the paper also did cut costs and shifted a lot of revenue to digital Adobe is testing removing its $10 a month photography plan That's the cheapest creative cloud subscription It gives users access to Photoshop and Lightroom along with 20 gigabytes of storage So the test means that some users when they go to subscribe aren't seeing that option There's only seeing the one terabyte photography plan which costs twice as much $20 a month still Photoshop and Lightroom But with one terabyte Adobe said it has not decided if it will permanently remove that offering All right, this year's inductees into the strong museum of play's world video game Hall of Fame include Colossal cave adventure a classic Super Mario Kart about time Mortal Kombat who doesn't know Mortal Kombat and yes my friends the last entree Microsoft Solitaire Now for some like myself Solitaire may feel a bit like a newcomer replacing Reversy when Microsoft Windows 3.0 arrived in May 22 1990 but Microsoft intended it as a way to get people used to using a mouse It's survived into every version of Windows through seven and then expanded into the Microsoft Solitaire Collection with lots of different versions of Solitaire in Windows 8 and after some people consider that The end of the Solitaire run because it was no longer the same Solitaire But there is Solitaire in your windows even today Ashley, what's your favorite Microsoft Solitaire memory? Oh, you know I gotta say actually I've played a lot of Microsoft Solitaire in my life So I appreciate that this has been inducted into the video game Hall of Fame But I will say that I am very upset that ski free is has been denied year after year Someday ski free is gonna make it. Have you started a any of those change.org petition petition? I really you know, honestly, I think I should I love ski free so much It's it's obscene. I love ski free. I would I would die for ski free. In fact, I have many times Aside from your your ski free agenda, which I totally respect What do you what do you think of the rest of this? I mean, I was actually surprised I thought Mortal Kombat had already gotten in I was shocked about Super Mario Kart. Yeah I think I think that was newer That that's why I was like, okay, I guess but World of Warcraft sorry I was gonna say yeah, it's it's not that much newer than Combat so suit, you know SNES those runtime Genesis like not terribly different in terms of time frame So yeah, I was I don't I haven't played colossal cave adventures. I can't speak to that game But yeah Mario Kart Mortal Kombat. I was really surprised by that Maybe this was the year of inducting games that have words in them that use K's instead of C's Yeah, oh go ahead. No, I just found it took took took until now for colossal Cave to make it in because that's that's one of the seminal PC games that look kickstarted the entire genre Well, that's the problem with these things though is they've only been doing this for a few years So they couldn't put like all of them in the first year. Yeah, you gotta play and catch up Yeah to start with the Donkey Kong's and pongs and all that and like Mario Brothers. Yeah We're moving into the realm of video games where there's there's more debate to be had versus the early ones It was everybody's like, oh, yes. No, obviously Is it like the rock and roll Hall of Fame where you have to have had the game has had to have been around for a certain amount of Time before it can be eligible to be nominated or inducted that's like 25 years for the rock and roll Hall of Fame Right and do the the surviving members of the video game assemble at the Strong Museum And and perform together one last time. Yeah, I that's or maybe they do like the wizard at the that's what they should Do at the rock and roll museum or that the world at the museum of play They should have like a wizard-esque thing where the people come like or they have There's come and they play the old games of the competition No, we're the strong museum is in Rochester, New York Anyone may nominate a game for the Hall of Fame final selections are made on the advice of journalists scholars and other individuals familiar with the history of video games And their role in society. That's cool. I'll do it for Dark Castle. Yeah, and it's only been going since 2015 So it's still early days. Yeah The Verges Dan Seifert saw a test in Portuguese which he doesn't speak of a new Spotify feature called your daily drive It mixed short episodes of podcasts in Portuguese in this case along with personalized music suggestions meant to be played on your commute Spotify doesn't have any podcast recommendation tools at present But it has gone on a podcast acquisition spree lately acquiring Gimlet Parcast and anchor Spotify told the verge it's always testing new stuff, but it didn't tell them anything else about this. I have to say I love this idea of Having a Come you know if spot if I were a Spotify user having something that knows my taste both in podcast and music create a little playlist for my drive It's kind of cool. Yeah, that would be really nice. Um, I how I Do wonder how useful it is for people everywhere except like heavy urban areas Well, how long is your commute if you're if you live anywhere but like major metropolitan areas Maybe your commute is not terribly long. And so it's like commutes are longer Then people think because a lot of times people don't may may work in or may live in a small town But work in the next town over in the city or yeah I mean I consider that to be like people who work in a major metropolitan areas like Southern California in General would be considered part of that like well, I'm thinking when I was There were people who lived in Greenville and worked in Highland, which was 20 minutes down the road wasn't wasn't like super Trafficky or built up. It was just like oh, they they work in the next town over rapid 20 minutes It's like what podcast are you listening to? That's why it's a short podcast I assume these are like news updates daily tech headlines for instance five minutes BBC news Mixed in as sort of like news updates with your music But yeah, no, I see where you're going with this like it's gonna be a different experience on an hour long commute Then it would be on 20 minutes. Yeah, I Like the idea of having music mixed in with my podcast though I wish I could do that on my own see now the real the real MVP is gonna be the company that makes this this type of feature Sync up with your drive time. So it says like okay if you if you're if I Sit in my Model 3 and I say I'm going to work and it says your commute is gonna be one hour and ten minutes Here are some right here's here are some recommended playlist that automatically generate there just about that time like that would be great That's not if I works with ways so it could potentially like yeah, you know, you could approve it to great And that to me is like that's the step. I want to see I mean I this is fine cool Whatever, but I care about I want it to tell me if I'm commuting somewhere if I put something into navigation and Spotify or whatever other music service can say hey, we notice you're driving your commute times this amount of time You're you're you're going to Vegas. That's three and a half hours Here is a great curation of Music and podcast that maybe you've never heard of or and some that you have heard of that will fill that time perfectly Like that would be fantastic because it is so frustrating to me to start listening to a podcast And you don't really realize how long it is like you're not paying attention And then all of a sudden you're like 20 minutes down the road and you're like oh I got to stop my car and like not listen to this anymore And then you forget all about it and then two days later you're like oh, I kind of read listen to this entire podcast Especially when it's like hardcore history, so you know And then you're just like oh my god, I forgot everything about this class and I feel like I have to start over again Yes, so Spotify, please listen to Ashley and make that happen. Thank you. Thank you The Wall Street Journal reports that Verizon is exploring selling Tumblr though the process is ongoing and may or may not result in a sale However, Pornhub VP Corey Price told Buzzfeed that his company is extremely interested in acquiring Tumblr Tumblr, of course banned porn from its platform late last year I would assume that uh, mr. Price would reverse that ban if he were to obtain tumblr Verizon sold flicker to smug mug a year ago and wrote down 4.6 billion dollars related to its media business last year so Verizon is Not necessarily disassembling its media business, but it's certainly looking to shed the parts. It doesn't feel are as valuable Oh, those those old uh old rotting oath parts Yes, the former oath, which is now Verizon media group There um I like I gotta tell you uh, I think Pornhub would be the best owner out of those three companies Uh to own to own tumblr. I mean it was it was a very popular destination for uh Communities that oftentimes had a had a very difficult time existing on the internet So a lot of a lot of fan service a lot of shipper communities a lot of LGBTQ plus communities Um, and it was a real it was a real shame that I like to me that Verizon really cracked down on all that stuff um I mean all of the you know all of the not Completely horrible stuff, which there's still horrible stuff over there on tumblr and everywhere else on the internet, but um, but yeah I mean like that that that was really kind of a place where a lot of Misfits could go and and find their tribe. You know what I'm saying? And so it kind of that kind of fell to the wayside when they started banning stuff like question questionable material which often Loops in things like lgbtq plus um And harms those communities like it's it sucks. It takes away a place for people to to enjoy themselves and find people that they That they are they can be friends with Yeah, I think pornhub would be a really great like steward of the of the tumblr brand I that sounds crazy, but I I actually think it's a great idea I see where you're going tech crunch had an interesting article talking about the fact that pornhub is actually acquiring A lot of leverage in the industry such that it is driving down salaries forcing people into taking Jobs in arenas that they may not have been comfortable to otherwise That would be my only hesitation is like do we want pornhub to get it? Or do we want someone else more enlightened with less of a dominance in the industry to get it? I guess so. I mean who's I just my question to that would be Who uh, how many people are working at tumblr at this point? How many people are working on tumblr that would go with the acquisition? Right? Yeah, it's I can't imagine it would be a ton of people um But I like, you know, it is some people so obviously people will be affected by it in some way YouTube announced the first details of its single slate strategy to make originals available free with ads rather than only available to subscribers of the $12 a month youtube premium program So it doesn't mean that all premium Programs will become free, but you'll start to see them all available at least in a window So for instance free users will see season one of kobra kai from august 29th to september 11th with season two Then following on september 11th and debuting for free with new episodes every week More free ad supported premiere dates are supposed to be announced later And according to youtube original content had two and a half billion views behind the paywall across 50 shows last year They're gonna have to uh, sorry my dogs are Your dog very much is excited about free youtube premium. We get a lot of yeah. Well that for sure They're very angry that the price is very upsetting to them. They hear $12 a month and they're like, no, it's ridiculous Hey, lee rye jankins I think uh, I think the idea here is what youtube is saying is you know what gets people to pay for premium ad free offline listening and Annoying annoying people with ads. That's that's what you'll pay for the original content per se So they're gonna try out windowing. There's still You can only get all access to all episodes at all the time if you pay though Right. Well, here's so I host stream economy and this is the thing that we talk about all the time Like is is the the health of the streaming economy? um, and so for me like There was never There was never going to be a world in which youtube premium or youtube red or whatever it is, you know, they want to call it um today or yesterday or in the future, uh, there was never a universe in which that was going to be successful Uh in the way that netflix was or hulu or you know, whatever else And so because it's it's youtube and so people think of youtube as a platform for free stuff Like they they watch video for free on youtube and so To get people and especially a lot of younger people who don't even have jobs I mean, there's a huge demographic of youtube users who are under the age of 15 so Asking those people to pay 12 a month for an ad free experience, which they don't care about asking those You know and they can't they wouldn't even be able to if they if they wanted Was silly it was always silly and 12 a month is a ridiculous price to pay for youtube premium And I guarantee you that price is going to come down as soon as disney plus launches And we start seeing um, we're already seeing a lot of these smaller spod services like nerdest alpha Shuttered uh in april we we're seeing dc universe get rolled into whatever, you know time warner is doing Uh, you know, we're we're seeing a lot of consolidation a lot of shuttering a lot of changes in the streaming industry and to me Good for youtube on on making these like original series and putting money into original content. Like I think that's great um, especially for creators But at the end of the day 12 dollars a month Is just not going to fly anymore like especially competing against the seven dollars a month disney plus is going to offer That gives you access to their entire library like just about Yeah, I mean youtube is going to have to do a better job of explaining that this isn't A competitor to netflix. This is their competitor to amazon prime, right? You pay like this is a free and you get a bunch of cool things like music and ad free etc Etc etc, and they've just been very bad at marketing it that way They honestly, I would love to see google really kind of come out swinging on this and be like we're going to do google premium And you're going to have a uh a private experience on gmail where we don't track you Um, we you know if if if companies really want to start I think they just have to give that away I think they would come into all kinds of criticism if they made you pay for not tracking like that Well, I I just mean in the sense of that's a good point, but I just mean in the sense of um offering like for example Maybe offering uh packaging up stuff. Yeah packaging up google like google drive and stuff for businesses Like because you have to pay for that like right package all of that together Like it's you're all one company. It doesn't it doesn't make any sense to me to not Package all of that like and then also do something that uh, you know apple may or may not be doing With like uh with arcade right so it's like you have this one One stop shop subscription. That's maybe 20 bucks a month. You get free games every month You get maybe free apps every month that are that are more expensive Um, you know you get access to you get an ad free youtube experience You get access to the premium shows that are behind a paywall. You get uh, you know Google music you get all this stuff like that's That to me is going to be the thing people are going to start looking for convenience and As opposed to a la carte. Um much as people really wanted that like 15 years ago. I think we're now realizing like Yes, we asked for that and we got what we wanted, but it wasn't exactly the future that we thought it would be which it's never the case But now we just want to improve on that make me that manager a lot of people are like Let's go back to a cable model and let's start bundling stuff and it's like no no no You asked for this I've reintroduced the problem. Yeah, you asked for this don't don't reintroduce the problem Let's maintain control but make it simpler. I think right right Uh, finally the Daily Mail reports that navy recruiter ben su of taiwan fell asleep with his air pods in his ear And when he woke up one was missing he so he tried tracking it and he could hear it beeping But the beeping followed him around He realized he had somehow swallowed one of his air pods while he was asleep So trip to the doctor resulted in a laxative which allowed him to recover the air pods later and after washing them and or the one and letting it dry Found out it still worked battery was even at 41% He called the experience magical I this per look at he okay I don't know how to start uh, if you look at this this man's picture on this on this uh story He is way too happy about this. He did this on purpose to go viral I I guarantee you this was a I bet if I swallowed air pod and poop it out And it'll be a big story and then like that'll be really cool. Like I'll get some 50 I'll get my 15 minutes or whatever, but this guy is way too happy Listen, uh, we have a doctor testifying that it was there Uh, and uh, and we we have the you know daily mail has a Has a sketchy record on this stuff. So I'm not sure how much I trust them But I believe that it happened. Oh, I believe it happened a hundred percent. I also don't Think you're necessarily wrong possibly An air pod while they are asleep Like I don't that's a tough one. I guess no, I can see it getting in your mouth You know comes out of your ear. It's on the pillow You just you just swallow it you just randomly eat things in the middle of the night You don't wake up when like a spider crawls into your mouth Like does this guy just have like some random medical condition where he's he just eats things while he sleeps Like no, anyone's randomly swallowed something while they're asleep. Please email us feed me And tell us the size of the object. I'm I'm very curious about this. Yes, me too I dreamed I was eating a marshmallow and my pillow was gone sort of situation Uh, hey folks, if you want to get all the tech headlines each day at about five minutes Be sure to subscribe to daily tech headlines dot com Multiple people complained sunday's episode of game of thrones was too dark to see and complained about the cinematography Well, the cinematographer took a little issue at that Fabian Wagner told wired a lot of the problem is that a lot of people don't know how to tune their tv's properly Well, you're watching it wrong A lot of people also unfortunately watch it on small ipads Which in no way can do justice to a show like that anyway Game of thrones is a cinematic show and therefore you have to watch it like you're at a cinema in a darkened room If you watch a night scene in a brightly lit room, then that won't help you see the image properly Now some other issues that this could be are over compression from your provider direct tv famously Compresses its signals and causes artifacts Uh, your internet connection can cause artifacting as it as it tries to adjust to the bandwidth or hbo may have been really congested In your area that could cause a problem the app you use is different Some people reported having problems with the dark level on one app, but when they switched to a different platform It was better and as Wagner notes the size of the file and whether your tv is properly tuned are other things that can affect I personally thought the episode was dark, but on purpose because it's called the long night And I didn't have any problems seeing what I was supposed to see but your mileage may vary. Ashley. What do you think of all this? Uh, so I think a lot of people are really curious as to like who's right here. They're like, oh, who's right? Who's right? Uh, everybody's right. So the cinematographer 100% Most people don't know how to tune their TVs. They have no idea You just set it to game mode or cinema mode or movie mode Whatever and then they leave it alone and they end up having like things like motion smoothing blah I'm having that on And uh, you know and and it's just it's not great and then on top of that a lot of people have shaky internet connections a lot of people have problems like HBO server is getting bombarded at six o'clock when the game when game of thrones goes live on sundays So all of those things are absolutely correct. He did choose to shoot Three kind of acts of the show in very different lighting situations. Um, there's a 40 minute Mini documentary. I can't believe it's 40 minutes long. I know right. Um, really good. It's on um, it's on youtube It's it's on HBO channel and it's about how they put together that episode So once you see it if you haven't seen it go watch this like 40 minute documentary they talk about it in terms of acts where they're like Act one was uh, was a Was a uh, I forget what a suspense like a thriller Act two was a horror Horror with a horror movie and then act three was an action movie And so they shot them and and lit them very specifically to those Things and so in a thriller like you you don't know what's in the dark and you you're it's supposed to be scary and you're not supposed to see anything and so That absolutely was the case like they they shot that very purposefully and um for me I don't have a tv with hdr uh, so I There were a couple of moments where i'm like, I don't know if i'm supposed to be able to see what's happening here um, but then I there was no moment that was so important to the plot of the episode that I felt like Oh, I can't believe that was so dark. I missed that Yeah, and this is going to uh shine some light if you will on a problem that a lot of people don't realize exists because Many people grew up in a world where you had a tv and a cable connection and that was it You didn't need to tune your tv hard wire right in we not only have tunable tv's with high level picture control Uh that are often set to things like motion smoothing But also we have multiple different ways of getting video which highlights all these different problems in the way video Can be displayed and why you have a game setting and a sports setting and a movie setting is that different kinds of video Required different kinds of things to be emphasized. So Tina David Katzmeyer, uh is for years been my most trusted source for issues like this He has some tips on cnet, uh, the simple ones are turn off your lights So he agrees with Wagner on that choose the movie or cinema or calibrated setting depending on your tv Uh for game of thrones. It may not be right for watching sports, but it's right And those modes show the most realistic color with solid contrast and correct shadow detail Though they do mean lower light output, which is why he says you need to turn off your lights And of course he says turn off any smoothing effect any soap opera effect in lg. It's called true motion samsung It's called auto motion tcl. It's called action smoothing sony. It's called motion flow Everybody calls it something different, but it has motion in the name. Oh sneaky. Yeah So if you you know, he has a lot of other, uh tips if you want to really get in there and adjust brightness and contrast yourself Uh, but he's like I don't want to mess with that probably choosing movie on samsung or tcl Cinema on lg or sony or calibrated on vizio should help Yeah, and and honestly like If you're in the market for a new tv, uh at this point future proof yourself by getting something with hdr because Now we're starting to see a lot of uh of the higher end Sort of more cinematic television shows and even things like, you know, netflix their original series They're shot with hdr in mind and so, um, you know, give give yourself the opportunity to be able to watch it the way it was intended Uh, I I mean that's always a good rule of thumb and um, and you know And also give yourself the opportunity to watch it the way that it was edited And that's another thing people don't really for don't really know or remember Is that when these shows are edited and color corrected, uh, they're they are done so on Extremely high-end monitors. I mean they're thousands of dollars and they have no banding They're I mean they are a perfect recreation of what the camera saw and so A lot of those, um, you know, I'm sure there's some minor testing like on other Devices to see what it looks like but really at the end of the day it's up to what the director wants and and wants it to look like and the cinematographer and so if If that is uh, generally the case then you're gonna want to make sure that you have a Device that is going to be able to give you as close as possible to what their intended imagery is So to me But if you're getting a 4k tv sometime this year if you're like finally i'm gonna i'm gonna do it I'm gonna pull the trigger. Wow. Look at this great clearance television. That's 4k, but doesn't have hdr Like don't do that spend the extra like hundred dollars two hundred dollars get a tv with hdr You're gonna future-proof yourself a little bit more uh in that way and I that's I regret every day. I have a 70 inch television in my living room Every day I regret not getting an hdr tv because I got it right as hdr was rolling out and there were you know hdr 10 and dolby vision And I couldn't decide and it was at the point where it was only one or the other. There were not tvs that had both Um, and so I was like I'll just buy like the biggest tv I can afford And so I bought this television and I kicked myself all the time because I had 10 80 i for a few years for making a similar decision so and it's like because I really wanted to upgrade and that's like You know, it's that early adopter problem where it's like I got in just a little too early I got too excited about 4k too soon Especially with something like a tv that you know, you're not going to swap it out every year No, and I and I really want to so there have been some really good deals on some OLEDs Like the the lgca The lgca it's like they every now and again best buy does like a sick deal on it And I always want to buy it and just like have it delivered to the house the same day And and just not say anything. I just Fade out completely like I don't know what you're talking about. My husband will come home and he'll be like Why do we have a new television? Like But I don't know what to do with this 70 inch television. That's like I'm like I can't go all the way from best buy, but it's like I would want to maybe like try to sell it or like maybe Oh, yeah, I don't know what's the perfect fata company you're gonna have to give up on selling Yeah, see it's I'd have to it would really have to be Yeah, yeah, and I just oh man. It's so tempting like I can't go to a best buy anymore. I walk into the television. It's like I love I love High-end TVs like it's my favorite. That's my favorite part of c. Yes. Go look at the TVs.

So I you know Either way lines you would definitely be a very famous person. I feel like that I feel like that air pod guy You went to the doctor once got a laxative and had a puppy. Let's do uh, what is dark may never light? And then for the wider good day internet show, I think there was a couple of yeah, uh, so you want purple playdough Okay, that's all that was Uh I hope it's a human would be a good one. I think for for a good day internet Who swallows an air pod? That's a really good question Yeah, I mean it's it's not impossible. It's it's unlikely. It's serious No, you had I having looked at one of those that's something you don't accidentally swallow you intentionally, right? If the air pod was smaller, right if it's just the bud Yeah, maybe your mouth you think it's a skittle or something Right. Yeah Peace on the end here. You get out I don't really want to Swallowed on purpose And he got what he wanted. Yeah got us 15 minutes. We talked about him. Look at we've done. What are we doing? I was about to say this on the show, but if if you go through all that trouble, I almost feel like you've earned it, right? Um, yeah, absolutely not do not dignify These types of stunts with attention. It's just another tide pod waiting to happen. Um, I hope it's a human gdi For for for good day internet. Yeah, sure Now we return you to our regular debate about what the next movie plots of the marvel cinematic universe will be Uh Well, you know, they're what are they doing right now? What's what's the what's the story? You mentioned shang-chi and the eternals. Uh, they're gonna do the eternals shang-chi guardians A group's lead type of film Yeah, yeah shang-chi Eternals guardians three Black Panther 2 Dr. Strange 2 Captain marvel 2, uh, that hasn't been confirmed in phase 4, but I I assume it will be part they have so on stream economy literally this week I talk about um, all of the announced release dates for untitled marvel movies Uh, which they they have they have had for a year at least at this point so There's eight and so, um, I rattle off seven of them Including captain marvel 2 and then i'm like, okay, so this eighth movie could be an adam warlock movie Uh, if they so chose they could reboot, uh, the fantastic four if it's one of the later Like 2022 like July 2022 seems like a good date for x-men. Um, they could also, uh Oh, you forgot spider-man, uh far from home. Oh, right, of course. Well, that's already that's not an that's not an unannounced title So that's not part of uh, the part of face. No. Yes. It is far No, he actually kevin feige has said that uh, spider-man far from home technically is the end of phase three phase three. Yeah, okay And then um, then there's eight movies that have been unannounced So I have a feeling that in august we'll get kev feige to talk about what Which of those movies go and where like which um release windows because they already have the release dates because they have to reserve it Yeah, so and they haven't reserved out until disney has movies reserved out until february of 2023 Um, and the last movie that they have I think on their slate is either july or november of 2022 For marvel. Yeah, hemsworth signed a multi movie contract in 2017 with marvel points out beat master But I guess that could just mean guardians, right? So they all get the standard is six I get three of their own that the option is they get they're signed on for three Individuals movies like where they're the hero and then three cameos so, um I know that sabastian stan actually had a a little bit of a different deal where he actually signed on for nine movies Wow, so um, so because he was such an integral part of the avengers and and captain america like it That like became a thing um, so they signed him on for nine, but I know that right now uh Without spoilers Without giving anything away an end game uh Thor is in a really interesting place and they have They have some ideas on a Thor 4 and there's interest in all parties coming back for right So there are other ways that they could utilize him in the marvel cinematic universe That would be sort of like Thor ragnarok, but but clip. So it would be him in a movie with other Avengers. Yeah, well, you forgot Uh That's the seventh movie is the sandal and black widow movie hensworth has said he wants to come back Uh, and white td has said he would he would be cool doing something, but I guess nothing is Yeah, there's no there's nothing officially in development. There's no contract Like and it would be a whole a whole new contract negotiation. I think with with chris hemsworth who is now a stupidly bankable movie star so um, it's really expensive As opposed to I was reading a thing where I I saw I think like a couple of them got like Just $500,000 for like their first MCU outing. It's like insane wow So the ones we're sure of are black widow the eternals black panther dr. Strange shang chi guardians I miss any let me hold on. It's uh shang chi eternals guardians three dr. Strange two black panther two, uh Black widow and uh, I assume captain marvel 2 and then there's an 8th There's an 8th movie that has been unannounced as a as of now That other movie is on the release late. Could be a thor could be blade Could be adam warlock Yeah, could be could be could be a deadpool movie. Who knows I think adam warlock's gonna end up possibly in the next guardians film because that's I think maybe. Yeah That's how I don't think they should or would put deadpool in the MCU Proper, I think it would be smarter to keep them out keep him out Because the way the way they the in the deadpool movies They've sort of mocked the x-men franchise feels like they could now do that to the The Avengers and MCU. Yeah, yeah and keep it outside It would be quasi part of and it would be a way for them to keep the irreverent rated R Rated R nature of the movie MCU adjacent, right? Yeah, but maybe but maybe an x-men reboot or or something along those lines like we'll see it Yeah, I'm really curious what they do. I mean is it movie is is certainly up for it's up for debate And I don't in it's july 2022. I think or november. So I think it's july. Yeah, so um, so to me I would argue that it's potentially a third spider-man movie And then but but it does that count like it's a third spider-man movie and then we get Uh, so I I argue in extreme economy tomorrow that 20 that may 2023 will be the next avengers movie So because it took four years To avengers and it's 2019 now. What if you watch some of the mcu movies? Um, you can kind of sense that they're up until about the point when the rusos came on board There was a little bit. They were still trying to figure things out And you know, uh, it's interesting because once the rusos came on board they started really They that was when they started to kill it I mean, I think that and also marcus and mcfeely like a lot of people don't really count They discount them a lot the other two writers on endgame and infinity where I mean those guys are They wrote the story. Yeah Yeah, like they're they are the the gatekeepers of the story and they put what first avenger captain america, right? wrote a lot if they've done a lot Yeah, that's interesting All right, because I just watched that last night. Yeah, did you did you watch the special features on that, tom? They wrote all three captain america movies. Yeah. Yeah, that's what uh, infinity war endgame. They created agent carter They did Thor the Thor the dark world Um, but uh, but yeah, they I mean, they are It's just not like they are they are also a very large part of Um, you know figuring out that their story beats. So um across movies And also, I mean disney and marvel have done a really good job at at a certain point I they started and I don't know who suggested this whose idea it was But they started saying we need to start including the directors of the movies that we haven't filmed yet In our meetings for our movies that are in active production so that they know where we're going and apparently like um They had I thought this is super interesting. So, uh, when they were filming endgame And or when they were filming infinity war and endgame they were they were not they had they did not know What was going on in Thor ragnarok? Because that was filming At the same time and so they uh, they taika and brought footage And was like here's what we're doing Okay with Thor in that movie because they a lot of people are like, oh, yeah, like an endgame like Thor's like so, um It's a continuation of his character in ragnarok And it's like he's he's lighter hearted and like whoever but it's like They had to know that like they didn't really they were like we knew that I was going kind of in a more Lighter direction, but we didn't really know and then they they came and showed them what they were making so there's been a lot more openness between productions that I think, um DC has never gotten the chance to do that because it's been so volatile And every there's been so there's not a lot of ability happening. Here's what I was thinking I think that this is a nice break for the mcu obviously But they're they're still going to be moving forward with the new phase But I think that this is an opportunity for dc um Because disney plus is coming out with you know everything blazing at netflix Do you think it's a good idea for disney? I'm sorry or netflix to approach at dc Since they have their own streaming service and maybe bring them into the fold into the netflix fold Consider as netflix the enemy Everybody wants their own stuff in their own service now. It's a shame because I think that it's I don't know You know what? I don't look it is uh disney plus isn't even going to take down netflix It's I think people overestimate the capacity for people to have multiple streaming services The problem is there are too many to choose from right now But when it comes down to it people are going to go. Oh, I can do these four or five for less than the cable great Then i'm in I think what's going to suffer are the streaming services like playstation view sling tv We're going to see a big shakeout in those. Yeah Like I have um, I have well it's too expensive And so it's because it's starting to go they all are increasing their prices And it's and it's too much because people are going okay. Well between that my hbo subscription my You know my disney plus my netflix my hulu whatever it's too too expensive And so they start cutting things out like we have um We have phylo which is owned by viacom and It's like 16 dollars a month and we get the channels that we get all the viacom channels So we get like you know comedy central and which are actually harder to find on a lot Not available on a lot of this platforms right now because viacom's trying to regain rights Right over their stuff. So and but the thing is is like we used to have playstation view and i'm like Are we watching any of this like no, we're not We're just really not and the only thing that I miss is we don't have fx It's like the only one but when disney plus comes out later this year. Guess what i'll have fx No, fx is going to hulu. That's I I mean, but if they do a bundle, which i'm sure they will I'll have an effect. So it's fine. Like I don't like i'm just like i'll watch all the shows that i'm missing on fx on disney plus Like i'm not even worried about it and everything would be amc amc on filo, I know that yeah What we're gonna have to do though is uh is continue this conversation audio only Thanks video folks for watching Stick around there's more to come like where to get am
