The whole media industry seems determined to turn streaming into a creatively damaging war of franchise/IP star power that only Disney is equipped to fight. It’s a bizarre misunderstanding of how audiences perceive and engage with non-Disney media, and it will have costs! Much like Nintendo, Disney has always, always been a company dedicated to creating a unified identity around their studio name. If Disney makes a film, its “Disneyness” becomes part of its identity, in a way audiences recognise (for better or worse).

Pushing on with the MCU rewatch: today, Iron Man 3! I know it's a divisive movie, but I'm certainly a fan; it's a fantastic character study, a strong directorial statement and a fitting culmination to the trilogy, even if it sometimes fits a bit oddly into the broader universe. MCU films get flak for prioritising a house style over director-driven visions; less so since Taika Waititi and Ryan Coogler's efforts, but certainly in 2013. Even so, Iron Man 3 really rebuts that; it's 100% as much a Shane Black film as Kiss Kiss Bang Bang or The Nice Guys.
