Netflix, the world’s most popular and most subscribed streaming service company has been very generous in the last few months. It has made many of its documentaries available on YouTube for anyone to watch free of cost. Some of them include popular hits like Our Planet, Chasing Corals etc. It even uploaded its original film, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before on YouTube (for US viewers only), which anyone can access free of charge. The same patterns seem to be followed by the company in its recent decision to make several movies, original series as well as documentaries available for anyone to watch without a subscription.

Anyone with an internet connection can access the “Watch Free†portal, and one does not even need a Netflix account to enjoy the free content. The free section will include a total of 10 shows and movies that one can stream. The films that are available in the free section are - Bird Box, The Boss Baby: Back in Business, The Two Popes and Murder Mystery. While Stranger Things, Love is Blind, Our Planet, When They See Us and Grace and Frankie are some of the television series that once can binge-watch for free.
All of these free titles can be streamed on an Android device or a computer, but surprisingly Apple iOS browsers are not supported for some reason. The free content cannot be watched on smart TVs as well. The company has officially stated that it is looking for all its options for promotions, as it looks to add more subscribers.
Netflix is attempting to woo more people by providing them free access to its content. They are already in an excellent position since they have been able to add more than 10 million new paying subscribers in the last few months. It seems that the company is trying to capitalize on the opportunity that they have, as most people are spending time indoors. They have done this once already on YouTube in the past. Now with the Watch Free portal, they would be looking to make more progress with their mission of adding more subscribers.
It seems that this is just an experiment, and it might not last that long if it is unable to bring forth the results that the company is expecting. But till then, you can stream content on Netflix’s new portal and binge-watch great movies as well as shows free of charge.

The Legend of Korra has many plots, twists, and turns that make the show one of a kind. But sometimes it is hard to ignore how some very engrossing plots never get the proper attention that they deserve. In the first season of the show, the Equalist movement emerged as a great storyline, which could have been much more impressive than how it transpired. It was doubly disappointing since the show lost the opportunity to have its first non-bending antagonist. The Lieutenant had everything it takes to be a true leader of the Republic city’s unhappy non-bending majority. But unfortunately, it never happened. Since the Legend of Korra continues in comics, there is still an opportunity that the Equalist movement can again be revived.
Sources :- Legend of Korra
In season 1, we see the rising non-bending sentiments in the Republic city. When it was established, the Republic city was hoped to be a diverse metropolis where people of all cultures can live together peacefully. But the Legends of Korra was hinting that the idea was not working. The benders were very happy in the metropolis and looked to it as a paradise of unity. But the non-benders did not share the same sentiments as the benders. Even though they were in the majority, they had very little representation. So, they felt disenfranchised and disempowered. There was hardly any conscious effort from the benders to make the situation better for the non-benders who were not wrong since they genuinely were disempowered and ignored.
The Equalist movement filled the growing gap between the resentment of the non-benders and the benders’ ignorance. Amon presented himself as a revolutionary who would not tolerate the disenfranchisement of the non-benders. He was very cunning as he won over the unsuspecting population by winning their sympathy. He told them how he too lost so much when the firebenders attacked his family. Hiroshi Sato, who had a very similar life experience, put out the technologically advanced innovations in the hands of nonbenders who now felt empowered enough to stand up against the benders. The Lieutenant stood by Amon through thick and thin, but he would later regret trusting him.
The movement was never able to achieve its goals as it died out when Amon’s true identity and motives were revealed. The political changes that followed by the democratic election of Raiko as the President empowered nonbenders as they had wished for long. But even though a nonbender President was undoubtedly an advancement but a radical group is hardly satisfied so easily. So, it is not very clear why the members of the Equalist movement would be satisfied after they have been betrayed by a bender who was using them as pawns for his motives. In the years after Amon, the authoritarian regime of Kuvira and the archaic destruction of the government by the Red Lotus should have enraged the Equalists again to fight back.

Mulan is all set to release on September 4th on Disney Plus. The subscribers will have to pay $30 to watch the movie, but recently Disney made a surprising announcement; if you don’t want to pay for the film, then you can watch it for free. But here is the catch, you will have to wait three months for that. The company has promised to make the movie free to watch for all the subscribers on December 4th.
Sources :- Disney+ Subscribers
Recently, Disney has made several changes on the Mulan’s Disney Plus page. It is mentioned there that the movie will be available for “Premier access†until November 2nd, 2020. The company is yet to clarify what will be the options of the subscribers who wish to purchase the movie from November 2nd to December 4th. The move to make the film available for the general subscribers only after three months of release is an aberration. It seems Disney is adjusting to the rapidly evolving consumer choices. With a time of just three months between theatrical release and online availability, there is no doubt that Mulan probably has made a new record for the shortest window in Disney history.
The company had made the initial announcement about the online release of Mulan in August. The CEO had maintained that it was just a one-time experiment. The film will be accessible on Disney Plus in all the countries where it exists, while countries such as China and many more will get a theatrical release. The movie is expected to do exceptionally in China, and therefore, the theatrical release makes sense.
Releasing Mulan online was a big decision for Disney. The movie had already been delayed twice, and it was high time that the company made the right move to ensure that they don’t accrue any more financial loss. Indeed, a movie like Mulan will never be able to generate revenue as much as it can. The online release will undoubtedly hamper its earnings. But Disney does not have many options. The company is looking to use this opportunity to increase their subscribers.
To have access to the movie forever, one will need to keep the subscription once anyone purchases the film digitally. This strategy is made explicitly with the churn rate in mind. The company struggles to keep its subscribers because of a lack of quality content. Disney understands this well enough to use other means of ensuring that they control the churn rate as low as possible. Only time will tell how successful such strategies will be for the company.
So, for anyone who was planning on watching Mulan online now has two options. You can pay $30 to watch the movie right now, or you can wait three months to watch the film free of charge on December 4th.

Spider-Man has already entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and all thanks go to Tony Stark, Iron Man of MCU. The famous Hollywood actor Tom Holland is playing the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the MCU.
Sources :- Spider-Man
The Iron Man has been an excellent mentor for Peter Parker/Spider-Man and played a vital role in bringing him to the team Avengers. Spider-Man is a very popular superhero character among all the people who have more interest in the genre of superhero films. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has already given a chance to Spider-Man to team up with the Avengers. However, Spider-Man is a superhero himself, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe can make his image even better without the help of any other superhero.
The Spider-Man has been criticized for his dependencies on Tony Stark/Iron Man. Marvel Studios can make his image better and rectify this by introducing the proper replacement of Tony Stark and restrict Spider-Man from living in the shadow of Iron Man. Tony Stark gave the extremely advanced technical sunglasses, E.D.I.T.H, to Spider-Man, which was not necessary for a superhero like Spider-Man. It was clearly showing that Spider-Man is replacing Tony Stark and could be the new Iron Man of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the fans are excited to see Spider-Man for his powers, and according to some of the people, Iron Man cannot be replaced by Spider-Man. They both have different identities and possess different strengths.
Even though both Iron Man and Spider-Man have the benefits of sharing a great friendship-bond between them, some people still do not like Spider-Man to be driven by Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As shown in the second solo film of Peter Parker, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Spider-Man was forced to work with one of the former Stark Industries employees after the death of Tony Stark. Spider-Man started his fight against wrong after the death of his father, which was the prime reason for him to become Spider-Man, and it is wrong to just move on from this experience, as shown in the film, Endgame. Now the time has come for showing Spider-Man as a standalone superhero away from the shadow of Tony Stark/Iron Man.
The best way to take Spider-Man away from the shadow of Iron Man is by introducing a proper replacement for Iron Man in Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel Studios is planning to recast the team Avengers for the new Phase. It Includes Sam Wilson/Falcon as the next Captain America, Jane Foster will become the new Thor, Yelena Belova will be the new Black Widow, Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk will be the new Hulk, and Kate Bishop will be the new Hawkeye.
There is only one superhero left, and that is Iron Man, whose replacement has not been confirmed by the MCU yet. However, Tony Stark has been the closest member and the best mentor to Peter Parker/Spider-Man, it indicates that Spider-Man will be the new Iron Man, and that will not be a justice to the MCU fans and Spider-Man as well. Spider-Man can carry the film and the series on his own because he is a brilliant superhero even before the establishment of the MCU.
Hence we have concluded that the introduction of a new Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will give a separation between Spider-Man and Iron Man. Apart from this, Marvel Studios also needs to focus on the character of Peter Parker in the upcoming solo Spider-Man movie. Tony Stark has played a vital role along with Spider-Man in both Spider-Man’s previous movies, Homecoming and Far From Home, but now it is a time to focus only on Peter Parker, his choices, and actions in the upcoming Spider-Man movies.
