Technically it feels the same to me. Content-wise netflix is kind of a dumpster buffet, with a tons of meh stuff and a couple of really nice things. Disney has less content, but almost no low quality fluff.

>almost no low quality fluff.

Doesn't Disney own star wars nowadays. Is that sequel-mill of terrible writing really what passes for quality?

The Mandalorian is far from perfect, but it has some excellent episodes and is based in a robust understanding of Star Wars.

I have many qualms about The Mandalorian, but compared to the dumpster fire called the "sequel trilogy" it's very good content.

Regardless how you feel about the sequels, they are masterpieces next to endless stream of Netflix B-rate titles.

Yes. Where ‘quality’ just means halfway decent original programming that I can stand to watch for a half hour or so. I am having trouble finding that ‘quality’ on Netflix lately, for example.

You don't have to enjoy it for it to be good to someone

Is isn't all high quality Blockbuster content in the Disney back catalog and that is reflected on Disney+.

However I would agree it's seems better so far than Netflix which aims somewhat more on quantity over quality.

Regions probably vary.

Even tho Disney+ isn’t available to me in Singapore. Looking via a VPN there wasn’t anything I wanted to watch? While Netflix has tons of stuff me and the wife watch together.

Each to their own!

I mean, if you count all the content they own and you already saw before on cinema or other medias then you're right.

But after paying 1.5 years for Disney+ I think I'm paying 120 dollars a year just to watch Baby Yoda. I cannot find any other content over there really worth the Disney+ membership price.

On the other hand it's really hard for me to decide what to watch on netflix because of the amount of content I'm interested.

If you don't count that then Disney+ probably isn't for you. It's ideal for parents who want a bunch of good kids movies and shows. Mandalorian, although it was the "killer app" is an outlier. The rest of the original content I've watched on there is almost literally advertisements for Disneyland. Just buy a membership for a month and watch Mando.

The television content is mixed on Disney+ It’s for children so I may not have the best perspective but most of it is kind of weak. The marvel is star wars stuff is strong and they have the Disney movies, including the n-th straight to video sequels you never heard of.

[jrnichols]

I thought that too until one day I noticed that Disney has the National Geographic content as well. I've been watching a good amount of that recently.

I wouldn't pay for Disney+ on its own, but getting it as part of a bundle with Hulu (ad free) was ok. ESPN+ is worthless.

I thought Mandalorian was the definition of low quality fluff personally. Only saw season 1. Weakly designed fight scenes, several filler episodes with pretty poor plots (most egregiously the prison one), and my personal least favorite, the super ai droid that 360 no scopes everybody, dual wielding pistols. I've asked a few times why people thought it was good and most often the answer is Baby Yoda (on HN).

shrug. ymmv
