Super Heroes!!

So Disney let's people know the raft of super heroes it's putting up on its streaming service in November (which is important I guess if you have a yen for the spandex and cape crowd...)

The official Disney+ Twitter account shared a click 12-second clip of the TV series and films debuting on Nov. 12, with the clip featuring art for X-Men (1992) and Fantastic Four (1994).

The account also started a thread revealing even more content, confirming more animated series like Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. (2013), Avengers Assemble (2013), Ultimate Spider-Man (2012), The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (2010), Wolverine and the X-Men (2009), Iron Man: Armored Adventures (2009), Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes (2006), X-Men: Evolution (2000), The Avengers: United They Stand (1999), Spider-Man: Unlimited (1999), Silver Surfer (1998), The Incredible Hulk (1996), Spider-Man (1994 and 1981 series), Iron Man (1994), Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends (1982) and Spider-Woman (1979) ...

When you're looking to push Netflix out of the streaming high-seat, it's important to have as many goodies up and ready to go on Day One as possible. (These thing will come from a bunch of supplying studios, yes? Not just Disney-owned Marvel Animation?)

Of course, with everyone and his uncle going with their own streaming service, the viewing public will have to spend $9/month here, $15/month there, and it's going to irritate a lot of them. (When people go from a one-stop shop to, say, a five-stop shop, they won't be pleased.)

So this streaming thing? Maybe a cornucopia, and maybe not. We'll just have to see how it shakes out. But I can't imagine it's a guaranteed slam-dunk. Even if you're Disney, or Warners-A.T.&T., or whomever.
