Everyone knows the tale of Brand X getting bought out by some faceless global conglomerate and going to shit, but does the opposite ever happen?

Yep. That would require a subscription to disney plus, but I'm not really interested in doing that. It's too much effort for the payoff.

What's the payoff? Well, I watched Multiverse of Madness on a flight to see relatives last year. Out of the movies in the plane's catalog, it was one of the more-interesting ones. So -- the payoff is understanding a random in-flight movie a little better.

I might just steer clear of any Marvel movies next time.
