The timeline kinda works. Being the 3d biggest well connected comics universe would have made a nice splash for the investors, the diverse characters would have calmed the woke mob even if Netflix cares less and less about what the press has to say about them, my understanding is that they medle less than traditional studios with the storytelling.

it would had been nice and probably happened faster. V has the same edgy quality that Millarworld has which they bought has.

YES! Especially during that debacle with Disney trying to get out of Netflix. Netflix should've swooped in. Although... Hulu Higher Ups, if you're reading this... maybe you can get something going... scratch that Amazon Prime people...Valiant Universe Streaming!

Streaming is the future for sure. I’m already planning out what services I’ll be moving to after my current cable contract is up. Thrilled that Amazon Prime is likely saving The Expanse.

It would have been difficult for Netflix or anyone else to have jumped in on the VCU, however, as the rights were already in Sony’s possession—at least for Bloodshot and Harbinger; I’m not sure on others, though Q&W seems to be under someone’s banner as well.

Their best bet might be to produce their own shows/movies with an independent studio and then get them distributed exclusively on Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime, if they can’t get them downright funded by them. It certainly wouldn’t surprise me, but I’m not sure DMG is looking beyond traditional cinema at this point. Could be shortsighted.

The rumor at Phoenix Comic Con is that Dinesh was in talks with Ted somebody (some big shot) at Netflix to partner but DMG blocked it and then pushed Dinesh out and that Dinesh is working with Netflix and Amazon on something new now.

It depends on how they handle the Millarworld movies in my opinion. What if the Millarworld movies turn out to be crap and the directors don't know what to do with the property? I want Valiant movies to be awesome, I don't want them to make Valiant movies just for the sake of making them just to put them out there.

Netflix owning Valiant would mean movies would never hit the big screen and be consigned as third-tier superhero material kept in the Netflix corral. I would never want this. And I have a hard time believing that Netflix would have any interest in producing comics. Just my 2 cents.

I meant movies only.

Just curious, not questionning. What is your source?
