Why are Netflix and Marvel Television tackled?

During an interview with Variety, Netflix executive director, Ted Saraonds, spoke of his work experience with Marvel and although he has many positive things to say, there are others who are the opposite.

“From afar, our agreement with Marvel [en 2013] It was the largest in the history of television. Nobody will ever combine it. We promised five original -free original television seasons, 13 expensive episodes for each series focused on a character. And then a crossover season. In short, we learned a lot about the entertainment industry with that agreement.

“In our programs, we faced the old Marvel television system, which operated independently in Disney. And they were saving. And every time we wanted the programs to be bigger or better, we had to press them. Our incentives were not well aligned. We wanted to make a good television; they wanted to make money. I thought we could earn money with a good television.”

“You want to work with people whose incentives coincide with yours. When they produce for you, they try to do it as cheap as possible. My incentive is to do my best. This is a lesson that I take forever. As producers, everything that [Marvel] He did not spend, he stayed. So every time we wanted to add something to the program to improve it, it was a fists fight.

All this problem was presented when the television part was separated by Marvel Studios, that is, before Kevin Feige will take total control. All the series of Wonder who were in Netflix are now available in Disney+.
