Disney Plus has been making a name for itself in the streaming world for a few years and it is undeniable that he achieved his goal. Its rapid growth is due, in large part, to the fact that it started with a very solid base, with all the content related to Marvel and Star Wars what you have But, despite the fact that it is increasingly used and known, it seems that its projects of creating new franchises do not end up working. One of the most recent instances of this failure is Willow, a series that It promised a lot, but it went completely unnoticed.
What happened to Willow?
- This 2022 series was intended to operate as a sequel to the mythical film released in 1988.
- The trailers and professional material for the TV drama were very promising.
- The project seemed full of passion, recovering part of the stars of the original, like Warwick Davis.
- Despite this and the good critical reception, Willow was a flop because no one saw it.
- NOW, Disney canceled it quickly and withered.
Personally, I’m a huge fan of the original, as it was one of the first fantasy movies I watched with my dad, and I was really excited when the show was announced. When I started watching it, I recognized some of the elements that made the original so memorable, but it lacked a lot to be a good television fiction. One of the main problems was its plot, which seemed to be going in circles and was barely progressing, and the characters, which were endless and don’t add much either. Overall it was a big disappointment and I understand that they canceled it so quickly.
Streaming platforms need to change
In case of willow is a symptom of the same issues that other platforms have had, such as netflix, HBO Max It’s included First video. If you take a closer look, you can see that all of them have suffered losses, because they continue to produce like when the world of streaming started to develop, but the market has already stabilized. A few years ago, there was still many people were discovering these services and because of that the number of subscribers only increased. Now the situation has changed, users have become more demanding and big companies should also be big with their productions.
