Just weighing in as a reformed Marvel fan and lifelong Star Wars fan: I started keeping local copies of that shit almost a decade ago and recommend to anyone I know to do the same. You never know when a streaming company might decide that it is no longer worth the bandwidth to host it, or if the rights will be transferred to a new service that I won’t already have (i.e. all ot them). If you genuinely enjoy almost any media in the modern era you need to have a local copy, because if you don’t some corporate entity may just decide to make it lost media on a whim because it becomes only moderately profitable.

I think Marvel and star wars addicts might find it hard to cancel thier subscriptions, they are so obsessed with these franchised.

For those that can’t quit the content cold turkey, there are other avenues of consuming that don’t benefit Disney… 🏴☠️

The truly obsessive Star Wars fans won’t pirate. They think Disney will blacklist them and they’ll miss out on waving plastic light cones around at those freakish cult ceremonies.

Imagine actual oligarchs and nazis staying in power because people love stories they control about imaginary people defeating imaginary oligarchs and nazis to much to stop giving them money.
