They were clearly angling for Secret Invasion to originally be a feature film but probably Igor forced them to make it a series. You just don't cast Emilia Clarke and Olivia Colman and do nothing with them, they are some of the highest-paying actors in TV and Film.
I just don't fucking understand the point of hiring expensive actors and shoving them on a dying platform. Disney+ is losing subs far more than Netflix because, unlike Disney+, Netflix focuses on the catalog and maintaining it, and overall the quality of their shows is better. Perlmutter was against these huge budgets because they were uncontrollable and giving your creators the chequebook is retarded. We know the audience size too by Ms Marvel and how badly it was viewed, 775,000 households watched episode 1 and we don't know if that is complete or repeated viewings. Disney+ on the release of Ms Marvel had 164.2 million subscribers. That is barely 0.5% of your user base. It is thought the show could have had a budget of 25 million per episode meaning in total Ms Marvel is predicted to cost 300 000. 100 000 million more than House of Dragon Season One. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!!!!!
