Fans have made much of Netflix losing its Marvel TV shows following an earlier report, leading to all kinds of speculation. Disney finally put all the talk to bed when it confirmed that it intends to transplant Netflix's slate of original shows that are based on Marvel Comics properties to Disney+, much to the shock of many.
What's particularly interesting about the inclusion of the likes of Daredevil and The Punisher on Disney+ is that these shows are particularly geared towards a certain audience. The MCU has never had an R-rated movie, but it was bound to happen. After Disney acquired FOX and with it came Deadpool, among many others, it was only a matter of time before Disney had to find a way around this while maintaining its branding, and the latest change takes the media giant one step closer to making that a reality.
You see, while Disney opened its doors to R-rated shows that are very much different from what most Marvel fans are used to, the House of Mouse also prepared its popular streaming platform for what's to come. To that end, Disney+ will introduce a new set of parental controls designed specifically so that kids can't access the more adult-oriented media that are coming to the platform.
