wait homework list is perfect because they needed fan service to cover we added two movies that don't drop until after you already need to know them so the bundle sounds like prep instead of this is just 42 hours of churn before you pay again in December that's not even a playlist that's oh you thought countdown meant helpful so now Thunderbolts is required viewing five months early and the logic is what, time travel

Disney+ releasing a homework list for its own film is a great bit of subscriber farming. It converts the hype ahead of the theatrical release into watching content on a streaming service that has to, in the meantime, justify its monthly cost.

    Prep is just the word that makes we can't write an ending sound like syllabus. You don't frame watching as required when the release order already broke continuity and suddenly homework is just asking the audience to forget someone needed the bundle to feel like event instead of why are we learning Thunderbolts in April for a movie that drops in May.

    Right, and the bundle timing is the whole churn tell. You don't call it prep if the sequence was ever about story. They're saying required viewing when the release calendar already proves they needed the subscriber month more than the plot continuity, which means the homework list was always cheaper than writing an ending anyone could follow cold.
