Bro I use one app and it streams torrent files. Pair that up with how easy scraping metadata is from files and you can BUILD your own streaming service with less steps than it takes to watch pokemon with no seeding BS or VPN subscriptions.
They didn't. Youre NOT entitled to everything. If you dont want to pay for it, dont steal it. Super easy to understand. Only reason to pirate anything is if you have no self control and you don't care at all that you are effectively stealing from those of us that actually pay for the service. They cant make content unless there are people who pay for it. Grow tf up.
I HAVE a netflix account and still I'm downloading netflix movies on bittorrent because if you watch on browser, you won't get better than 720p, even if you pay for more and if I install the Netflix App on PC, it somehow disables my sound system (!?) and the 1080p is a really bad 1080p stream? It's so dumb. WTF? The only reason I still pay for netflix is because my girlfriend watches it on tablet all the time but man do they suck now.
A reminder that Gabe Newell once said: ‘The easiest way to stop piracy is by giving people a service that's better than what they're receiving from the pirates.’
I'm 32, the first time I paid for music was when I signed up for Spotify (I now buy vinyl occasionally for artists I particularly like and want to support). Streaming services were shit and over-saturated years ago and it's only getting worse, it's not sustainable, what we need is a UA-cam-like service that's free to sign up to where the distributors pick their own models for generating revenue, maybe it's ad based and free to watch, maybe it's locked behind a paywall or you can pick between watching ads or paying to not have them.
I once spent like 6 hours many many years ago trying to pirate GTA 4 for PC, only to find it was on sale on steam for like 4 dollars, and I ended up buying it on steam and it was way easier and more enjoyable that way to play the game.
That sounds really annoying. Spotify makes it easy, give them 10 bucks or whatever a month, and you get to listen to any song you want, no ads, it just works. @@RubyDoobieScoo
@@spazmaster6731I've got a similar story. I was in the mood to replay GTA4 and I had two options for playing it. 1) Turn off and Unplug my PS5, Plug in my Xbox One, wait an hour or two for it to update, locate my original copy of GTA4 and slot it in my Xbox, wait for the game to download and then play 2) Give Valve $4, turn on my steam deck, wait 30 minutes for the game to download and install, then play wherever and whenever I want with the added benefit of knowing that if I want to play this game again a few years down the road I can do so without needing to hold onto my aging Xbox.

@@tiddly5he still definitely presents it in a specific way to make it funnier, like mentioning that John Wick is kinda like Hitman, it's not really relevant but it serves to exaggerate how convoluted and confusing the streaming services are
Honestly, the whole CONCEPT of “public domain” was to help PROMOTE AGAINST intellectual property STAGNATION (ie: basically, these copyright holders ACTUALLY would have to develop NEW IDEAS and CHARACTERS rather than milking the SAME ONES DRY for nearly a century).
The Marvel rights are a migraine minefield. Let's have a stroll... - Marvel sold a licence to Sony to use Spider-Man and adjacent characters, including Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman who actually has as much to do with Spider-Man as Black Widow. - Sony made the Raimi trilogy. - Sony teamed up with Marvel for the animated series Spectacular Spider-Man, which is a sort of sequel to the first Raimi movie but doesn't line up with the movies. (Kind of like the same deal as the Jumanji cartoon, to name just one example.) - Marvel actually holds the animated Spider-Man rights, so they could and can make whatever animated series they want. - For some reason Sony sold Marvel the merchandise rights back. This is a weird one. - Marvel always held the videogame Spider-Man rights. After years licensing the IP to Activision they ended the relationship. Not just for Spider-Man, but everything. It's why you can't get the Deadpool game anywhere anymore either. - Sony makes the Amazing Spider-Man movies, but isn't happy with the second one making "only" 800 million dollars. (Probably has something to do with them basically shooting enough stuff for three movies to make that one movie. Mary Jane had a whole arc and was completely cut, to name just one thing.) They team up with Marvel to bring Spider-Man into the MCU. Marvel Studios produces, Sony pays the bill. The money split becomes an issue Disney wants to exploit, proposing some insane financial stuff that initially made Sony want to walk away, but after a public outcry and Tom Holland crying on the phone with Disney CEO Bob Iger (which apparently really happened) Disney comes to their senses. They therefore decided to let the public pay for Genie+ at their parks instead until the end of time (this is a bit of sarcasm). - Here things get curious. Sony or rather Insomniac, because they weren't bought by Sony yet, gets the license to make the Spider-Man game from Marvel, but exclusively for PS4. That exclusivity is probably part of the MCU deal, but isn't certain. Spider-Man also comes to the Avengers game from Squire Enix, but only on PS4 (after a long delay). - Sidestep to X-Men: One of the X-Men movie videogames actually has Spider-Man in it as an NPC. Why? Because Marvel handles the merch. - Fox wants X-Men TV series, but that's not part of their license. Before they had a legal battle over Mutant X, an X-Men based TV series made by Marvel in the 00s. Before that Fox and Marvel did team up in the 90s for the TV movie Generation X. Not really worth it to look up now, but it did have the first appearance of the building that also would serve as Xavier's school in the movies. X-Men animation was always Marvel's. Fox has to bring something to the table to get the okay to make Legion and The Gifted. They give Marvel back Ego the Living Planet, the Watchers and maybe some other stuff. They use them in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Marvel was also up for an extension of Fox's Daredevil license if they get stuff like Silver Surfer and Galactus back. Fox declined. - Back to Spider-Man. Consider the X-Men negotiations when Spider-Man goes exclusive for PlayStation games. Disney may also use the Tom Holland Peter Parker/Spider-Man in their theme parks and they do > Web Slingers ride at California Adventure and Walt Disney Studios, as well as character appearances. Starting with Venom 2 convoluted connections between Sony's "Spider-less" universe and the MCU are being made. The animated Spider-Verse movies are made by Sony, while before animation rights were most likely completely at Marvel. The character Cindy Moon was in Spider-Man: Homecoming and Avengers: Infinity War, but has since been MIA. Sony and Amazon are since developing a Cindy Moon/Silk TV series. Remember, Fox had to get back around the table with Marvel to do that with X-Men. Sony is also developing other "Spider-less" shows, like a Spider-Man Noir one, which will apparently not star Spider-Man Noir (and obviously no other Marvel heroes, because rights). - Talking about theme parks. Universal owns the Marvel theme park license in the US East of the Mississippi, but only based upon the comics and only for certain characters (it's why Walt Disney World has that Guardians rollercoaster at Epcot). There's also some weird nitpicky thing going on about who can mention "Marvel". As part of the deal Universal has to keep their Marvel land and rides to a certain standard otherwise they lose the license (this probably also goes for their The Simpsons land). (It's why the Marvel area looks pristine, while something like Suess' Landing is in disrepair.) Disney actually has people walking around for inspection, from time to time. Universal also has a theme park license for Japan, but the Spider-Man ride is shutting down there. A curious development that may open up Marvel possibilities for the Tokyo Disney resort, but what happens there is up to the Oriental Land Company who owns it and has a license to Disney stuff. (If you ever wondered why things are so different in Tokyo compared to the US or Europe, that's why. Disney also has a minority stake in the Chinese parks.) Meanwhile, there's a Marvel land at Dubai's IMG Worlds of Adventure, which includes an Avengers darkride, a Hulk disc ride and a Thor spinner. That's a deal made before Disney bought Marvel.
@@EspenSGXall true and interesting but Spectacular Spider-Man isnt a sequel to anything in the Raimi trilogy. Its a completely different story but it makes a lot of refferences to the raimi movies. And its a true shame how that cartoon got killed, because its the best piece of cartoon spider-man content in the modern age.
@@victor_. my guy really used the most consistent and high-quality video game company as a reason to pirate games instead of the freebies like ubisoft, bethesda, or EA
I grew up as a pirate, I joined the common man and got myself a few streaming services. I like it, it was better with load of shows, I was even willing to pay $5 to rent newer movies on youtube/google, but its gotten so out of control, that pirate life is calling me back
Same, except so many ISPs send you cease and desists now if they catch you even using torrent software. Sure, you can use VPNs, but free ones suck and if you're paying a VPN subscription to pirate stuff you've kind of lost the plot on that one...
@saikimakyu You get to keep it forever though. And pick and choose whatever you want that anyone is seeding. And come on, Mullvad is €5 a month, you can't seriously compare that with what these streaming services are charging, especially if you need several of them to get what you want.
Switching between every streaming service to watch things is a game in itself. The streaming industry has created the first stream type game and dunkey just gave us the first and best walkthrough for it.
Me typing in 123Movies, KissMovie, KissCartoon, 9Anime, Soaps2Day, HDBest, and Google Drive access to watch all of my favorite movies and TV shows for the low price of free: 😃
I sometimes feel bad about pirating entertainment. Thank you Dunkey for making this video my go-to to feel better about it. It really makes me feel like a pirate.
Media piracy isn't theft and is completely victimless. Think of it this way, just because I pirate a game, that doesn't mean the developers 'lost' a sale, as I wasn't necessarily going to buy it in the first place even if I wasn't a pirate-- a lot of older media isn't even available to stream or purchase legally leaving "illegal" piracy the only valid option. As others have pointed out, if buying doesn't count as owning anymore, then pirating isn't stealing.
They just freaking anounced TV Pokemon will cease to exist on March and it's no longer downloadable anywhere else and I just finished Season 1 on Netflix and don't know where to watch Season 2 😭😭
@@JesseWFDusk it was sold to the new streaming service, YoshiMax, containing all of yoshi's greatest hits, except for Yoshi 3: The Biggening (not to be confused with Yoshi 2 Part III: The Beginning), which is on Starz
They discontinued Pokemon TV 3 days after this video (the only way to watch Pokemon without losing your mind), the only logical explanation is that Dunkey is so dedicated to keeping his videos accurate he hired corporate spies.
It's great that it's only $4.99/month with ads, oops looks like a price increase to $7.25/month with ads, but I also get the option to pay for a whole year for only $25.99/month for ad free, excuse me I meant, $32.95/month for ad free!
My favorite thing about Dunkey' humor is that he weaves in and out of satire and comically true facts so quickly thats it's often hard which one statements are true and which are dunking trolling. He is the king of comedy! ;)
Just the fact that Dunkey set out to satirize streaming services, and decided the best way to do that was to create a purely informational video helping people learn how to watch what they want to watch, says more than he could have otherwise in under 5 minutes.
@@TeenPerspektiva IMO I think the made up BS detracts from the video... the joke is already made, but then saying only half the titanic movie is available on one service, second half on another, makes me immediately question every other statement and is counterproductive to his point... unless that titanic fact is real?!
He forgot to mention that depending on your region all of this changes. Like the second animated spiderman movies with miles isn't on netflix in France but in the US it is
Yes, I started backing up my physical discs and purchasing more blu-rays about six years ago. Back then it was mostly Netflix, Hulu, Crunchyroll, with Disney Plus on the horizon. Made a Plex server, now got about 20tb worth of movies and shows. I own the files and can stream them to all my devices and streaming boxes. Worst part is not everything can be purchased physically. Losing access to these shows really sucks for digital preservation, sometimes streaming-only shows get cancelled and basically erased from existence if nobody ripped them. Now Best Buy is no longer selling DVDs so I have no reason to go there anymore
I like how neatly he put the point of the video at the very last sentence: "Buy the bluray to watch it" Truly the only way you can confidently own your favourite piece of media is by having a physical copy, let it be a bluray disk, a pirated copy saved on your hard drive, a literal videotape, etc.
Physical copies might become unplayable. I had vhs tapes, but nobody produces vhs players anymore, so I can't easily watch them, because this means buying a second hand machine, which are limited in supply, and might break. I feel the same is happening with dvds now, since I got a new laptop and it has no dvd input. Therefore, you either pirate a digital copy, or, if you want to be really safe in case storing files somehow becomes "outdated", actual film and a projector (ok, maybe that's too far lmao just pirate).
@@object4124 ok its a lot easier with dvd/blu ray due to the fact that most consoles after the ps2 have it and you can still install internal/plug in external optical drives on computers and also convert to a digital copy
I cant wait for his game publishing company to combine it with the hit Strand type game. A Strand mom type experience is what the world needs right now

Because there's too many. No sane person who isn't rich would pay for all these services. At most just like 2-3 cover the majority of stuff and exclusives
Thanks Dunkey, my DVD collection of Diamond Geezer had been cut in half right down the middle of the disc, and as such I only had the latter 12 minutes of every episode. This makes things so much easier!
the fact that there is a website specifically for checking where something is beings treamed and it not being a shitty wee thing, it's actually a really well designed website, goes to show how much of a shitshow the streaming scene is
@@GradietPanda12345 But they aren't, the vast majority of these services are not making a profit and are loosing these companies money. I am pretty sure even big players like Disney+ and Prime are still net losers.
Idk if anyone else has started to do this, but the rise of these streaming services locking out content has just led me to start rebuilding a robust DVD and blu ray collection. I genuinely get a kick from rummaging through bargain bins in stores to try and find old movies I used to enjoy. You get permanent access to the content, on demand whenever you want, for usually an insanely low one time price. Honestly the concept of streaming services is just stupid now.
I just wish there was a new physical media over dvds and blu-ray. I have a 4k tv and want to find the best version possible, but most blu-rays are 1080p. DVDs are worse at 480i.
@@Lowtendo Oh you don't need to tell me. I have a kodi setup for piracy, but I wish there was a modern physical media option like a flash drive you can legally buy with a movie on it to keep.
I was following along and I feel like he made a couple jokes/exaggerated a little... but only because I don't think Britbox would ever have Furious 5. Everything else sounded too real.
I think red letter media did the joke better and years before this one, only they were actually joking because it would be absurd to have all that complexity and so many services. Then it turns out actually being absurd doesn't stop it happening. You can only watch that sketch on UA-cam TV btw....for now.
Stop peddling this physical only bullshit. Digital is just as good, only if treated like any other product. You bought it once you OWN it. It's as simple as that.
@@xFluingexcept for when Sony announced they were going to delete everyone’s discovery “purchases” from their PlayStations, right? This is why physical media is better - Sony can’t break into my house and steal my movies.

Or just go on one site to see it all. But yeah mad props to them for having this out there. It makes me want to actually support them and use the official sites if available. :-)😊
You're all missing the point. I'm not praising accessibility, I'm praising accountability. I'm not trying to watch Pokemon. Taking the initiative to help navigate the hellscape that is streaming is a big move for a company, regardless of other avenues. Creating such a clean guide for that is and will always be praiseworthy until it becomes the norm.
This is a brilliant showing of how terrible the "streaming wars" have made content consumption. The companies will 100% throw their hands up in the air and cry foul when everyone simply goes back to pirating (grey area streaming included).
This has gotta be the setup to reintroduce cable packages. "Get 50 of your favorite streaming services for only 100$! That's like $2 per million movies! What a steal!"
Thank you so much for this guide, Dunkey. You have no idea how stressed us hockey fans were to find a place to stream the fourth and fifth Indiana Jones before Rogers NHL Live came around.
Blame all the idiots that ditched Netflix and gave their money to the streaming services owned by the people that wanted to keep you trapped with Cable TV's old plan. All we had to do was not cave and give money to Hulu, etc, and they would've left all their content on Netflix. Instead, idiots signed up for them after they pulled content from Netflix, rewarding them for screwing everyone over. This is all consumer-driven. This is all absolute tools giving money to terrible corporations because they can't live without being up to date on the latest Star Wars or Marvel show.
@@fleedledeedle666 Its a self-correcting cycle. Part of the reason why cable failed is because at a certain point Piracy became more convenient than cable, so many switched. Then Netflix came out and became popular due to its convenience. Now everyone is going back to piracy because of the current streaming hellscape. At a certain point this streaming phase will crash as the money dries up, and they would have to make a better system or else piracy will just win.
As much as this speaks to the comically bad licensing agreements from all this companies, I have to give Dunkey credit for somehow stringing all of this together. Looking forward to watching The Equaliser and Kung Fu Panda back to back twelve times!
Before this video, I was using piracy to watch all my favourite shows, but this informative video has since opened my eyes and made me change my nefarious ways. Thank you, Dunkey.
This video genuinely sums up my journeys across multiple streaming services, right down to forgetting what I was originally looking for. Truly subversive
Ironically though there was so little on MGM I licherally only watched Bottoms twice and dipped. They're very hit or miss. I could spend a week on Netflix or Disney+
The original Sergio Corbucci Django was so popular in Italy that every random director made their own versions/spinoffs using the character and they are very shit for the most part. There was even a version (can’t recall it’s name) where the main actor quit 75% of the way through and the director found some old dude on the crew to come on screen and appear as Django’s dad, to face off with the antagonist
@@emersonpage5384 highly recommend anyone wanting to see it to watch in Italian so the subtitles.. Sergio leones movies were dubbed well, this one not so much
@@AbdulGabagool83 the Italian version is also a dub, none of the versions actually had Franco Nero speaking. In Italian he was ADRed by Nando Gazzolo and in English by Tony Russel. Most Spaghetti Westerns were dubbed over in post-production this way.

To be fair, there are always a good amount of shows and films to watch on Netflix at any given time (especially if you have a favourite show that is a Netflix original).
@@therewasoldcringe nahh. Pirated films are usually garbage quality compared to the pristine 4k you get on Netflix. so a few years ago before this shitty pandemic streaming boom, it was defo worth the money to get a netflix subscription. now it's just chaotic crap
I think having a monopoly is pretty unethical, but for a while there I remember everything I ever wanted was just on Netflix and there really wasn't any other competition and it was so nice.
It never had to be that all that content was spread out like that. It could have been as simple as having different services while still providing all the content across different platforms. Hell, the only thing you'd miss out on would be exclusives. But no, they gotta rip the catalogue apart so they all have little pieces you're forced to assemble via numerous subscriptions.
The problem with a monopoly isn't that one entity controls the entire market. The problem with monopolies in the current economic system is that a handful of rich and powerful people - a handful of upper management and major investors - controo what the monopoly does. Competition isn't a magic bullet that solves all problems, its just one mechanism through which you can distribute that decision making power among a larger group of affected people. Any method of distributing that power can fix the problems monopolies bring - not just competition. Healthcare is the obvious example. In most developed countries, the government effectively has monopoly power over the entire healthcare system, and yet, unlike the one developed country with free market healthcare, healthcare isn't a massive problem in most of the developed world - because putting the monopoly under the control of a democratic government distributes the decision making power more effectively than making a handful of large corporations 'compete'.
@@firstnamelastname8439 all fair points. I’m not about to Dunning-Kruger my way though a debate on the morality of corporate monopolies because that’s kind of a mess and way beyond the scope of my expertise, but a lot of my perspective is just based on cynicism. Can a monopoly be agnostic-beneficial in some facets? Sure. But my faith in the ability for them to retain that alignment isn’t very strong.
@@mikeisfine because all they care about is money. companies have shown this time and time again. the one that's on top will always introduce anti-consumer practices and raise prices, while the ones that have to beat said top company will be the ones that introduce pro-consumer pratices and fairly low prices to get people to use their services. you can't trust them.
"The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It's by giving those people a service that's better than what they're receiving from the pirates."

Tubi also has almost every Godzilla movie from 1954 to 1975. It's completely free and has plenty of other weird movies nothing else has. Low-key best streaming service, Tubi.
The Criterion Channel is the pinnacle of streaming: Here’s a fuckload of movies with loads of extras when available from all over the world, from the beginning of film to now, sometimes as part of themed collections. So much gold on there for movies. Also Tubi’s pure democracy of placing art house perfection alongside bottom barrel trash and all for no charge but dealing with commercials = genius
Back when Streaming Services were still in its nascent stage, I remember they actually had a uniqueness to it. They were offering great TV shows and all the movies you wanted in one place. Now there's so many of them to the point that the good stuff is actually hard to find and the regular mediocre stuff keeping getting shoved down.
They're also so obsessed with "original content" they think will keep users loyal that they keep churning out hundreds of canceled-after-one-season mediocre copy and paste heistfilm-quality shows and everything gets lost in a sea of weeds. That example with trying to find Django is me everytime I try to use netflix these days and it's infuriating. Sidenote: I hate the word nascent, it sounds so unpleasant to say lmao
The Pokémon portion is so funny to me. I tried to be legit but it was so horrible, when the piracy website I found has it from the first episode and updates regularly with all the new ones as soon as they're released AND it has all the movies too 😂

It's really telling that I haven't heard of like 80% of these platforms. How dod we get to the point that paying to watch movies and shows is more confusing than pirating them? This is exactly why we need physical media. Along with many other reasons.
Funnily enough my library has king Kong vs Godzilla on Blu-ray as part of a Godzilla collection. So that's where you have to go to watch king Kong vs Godzilla
We don't need physical media because digital media has become a hellscape, that's downright silly nonsense. No, digital media should just be affordable and convenient to have access to, because the obvious alternative is to pirate, and the media conglomerates should know this. "we need physical media because streaming services are bullshit" .......? I believe the term for the logical fallacy that you used is called 'false equivalency', for further reading.

Truth is stranger than fiction. 😅
Wait until he finds out about the news
im sure he often cherrypicks really heavily in this sort of video, but Man is he good at cherrypicking
@@tiddly5he still definitely presents it in a specific way to make it funnier, like mentioning that John Wick is kinda like Hitman, it's not really relevant but it serves to exaggerate how convoluted and confusing the streaming services are
hey just to let you know but he actually made alot of jokes. just watch the video and youll see the jokes
''Since Disney owns both, they don't have either'' is the moment my brain melted.
What if we just did a copyright reboot? Everything goes back to whoever made it.
How much chaos would there be?
@@DylanDude I'm down for everything older then 25 years entering the public domain.
Honestly, the whole CONCEPT of “public domain” was to help PROMOTE AGAINST intellectual property STAGNATION (ie: basically, these copyright holders ACTUALLY would have to develop NEW IDEAS and CHARACTERS rather than milking the SAME ONES DRY for nearly a century).
The Marvel rights are a migraine minefield. Let's have a stroll...
- Marvel sold a licence to Sony to use Spider-Man and adjacent characters, including Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman who actually has as much to do with Spider-Man as Black Widow.
- Sony made the Raimi trilogy.
- Sony teamed up with Marvel for the animated series Spectacular Spider-Man, which is a sort of sequel to the first Raimi movie but doesn't line up with the movies. (Kind of like the same deal as the Jumanji cartoon, to name just one example.)
- Marvel actually holds the animated Spider-Man rights, so they could and can make whatever animated series they want.
- For some reason Sony sold Marvel the merchandise rights back. This is a weird one.
- Marvel always held the videogame Spider-Man rights. After years licensing the IP to Activision they ended the relationship. Not just for Spider-Man, but everything. It's why you can't get the Deadpool game anywhere anymore either.
- Sony makes the Amazing Spider-Man movies, but isn't happy with the second one making "only" 800 million dollars. (Probably has something to do with them basically shooting enough stuff for three movies to make that one movie. Mary Jane had a whole arc and was completely cut, to name just one thing.) They team up with Marvel to bring Spider-Man into the MCU. Marvel Studios produces, Sony pays the bill. The money split becomes an issue Disney wants to exploit, proposing some insane financial stuff that initially made Sony want to walk away, but after a public outcry and Tom Holland crying on the phone with Disney CEO Bob Iger (which apparently really happened) Disney comes to their senses. They therefore decided to let the public pay for Genie+ at their parks instead until the end of time (this is a bit of sarcasm).
- Here things get curious. Sony or rather Insomniac, because they weren't bought by Sony yet, gets the license to make the Spider-Man game from Marvel, but exclusively for PS4. That exclusivity is probably part of the MCU deal, but isn't certain. Spider-Man also comes to the Avengers game from Squire Enix, but only on PS4 (after a long delay).
- Sidestep to X-Men: One of the X-Men movie videogames actually has Spider-Man in it as an NPC. Why? Because Marvel handles the merch.
- Fox wants X-Men TV series, but that's not part of their license. Before they had a legal battle over Mutant X, an X-Men based TV series made by Marvel in the 00s. Before that Fox and Marvel did team up in the 90s for the TV movie Generation X. Not really worth it to look up now, but it did have the first appearance of the building that also would serve as Xavier's school in the movies. X-Men animation was always Marvel's. Fox has to bring something to the table to get the okay to make Legion and The Gifted. They give Marvel back Ego the Living Planet, the Watchers and maybe some other stuff. They use them in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Marvel was also up for an extension of Fox's Daredevil license if they get stuff like Silver Surfer and Galactus back. Fox declined.
- Back to Spider-Man. Consider the X-Men negotiations when Spider-Man goes exclusive for PlayStation games. Disney may also use the Tom Holland Peter Parker/Spider-Man in their theme parks and they do > Web Slingers ride at California Adventure and Walt Disney Studios, as well as character appearances. Starting with Venom 2 convoluted connections between Sony's "Spider-less" universe and the MCU are being made. The animated Spider-Verse movies are made by Sony, while before animation rights were most likely completely at Marvel. The character Cindy Moon was in Spider-Man: Homecoming and Avengers: Infinity War, but has since been MIA. Sony and Amazon are since developing a Cindy Moon/Silk TV series. Remember, Fox had to get back around the table with Marvel to do that with X-Men. Sony is also developing other "Spider-less" shows, like a Spider-Man Noir one, which will apparently not star Spider-Man Noir (and obviously no other Marvel heroes, because rights).
- Talking about theme parks. Universal owns the Marvel theme park license in the US East of the Mississippi, but only based upon the comics and only for certain characters (it's why Walt Disney World has that Guardians rollercoaster at Epcot). There's also some weird nitpicky thing going on about who can mention "Marvel". As part of the deal Universal has to keep their Marvel land and rides to a certain standard otherwise they lose the license (this probably also goes for their The Simpsons land). (It's why the Marvel area looks pristine, while something like Suess' Landing is in disrepair.) Disney actually has people walking around for inspection, from time to time. Universal also has a theme park license for Japan, but the Spider-Man ride is shutting down there. A curious development that may open up Marvel possibilities for the Tokyo Disney resort, but what happens there is up to the Oriental Land Company who owns it and has a license to Disney stuff. (If you ever wondered why things are so different in Tokyo compared to the US or Europe, that's why. Disney also has a minority stake in the Chinese parks.) Meanwhile, there's a Marvel land at Dubai's IMG Worlds of Adventure, which includes an Avengers darkride, a Hulk disc ride and a Thor spinner. That's a deal made before Disney bought Marvel.
@@EspenSGXall true and interesting but Spectacular Spider-Man isnt a sequel to anything in the Raimi trilogy. Its a completely different story but it makes a lot of refferences to the raimi movies. And its a true shame how that cartoon got killed, because its the best piece of cartoon spider-man content in the modern age.

One piece pirate
Media piracy isn't theft and is completely victimless. Think of it this way, just because I pirate a game, that doesn't mean the developers 'lost' a sale, as I wasn't necessarily going to buy it in the first place even if I wasn't a pirate-- a lot of older media isn't even available to stream or purchase legally leaving "illegal" piracy the only valid option. As others have pointed out, if buying doesn't count as owning anymore, then pirating isn't stealing.

Guys, just pirate it...
All this guide has taught me is that I should never take the physical movies I own and the seven seas for granted.
You heard the myth oh seven seas having Davy Jones locker somewhere down there full of old movie casettes and best blue-rays.
Yes, I started backing up my physical discs and purchasing more blu-rays about six years ago. Back then it was mostly Netflix, Hulu, Crunchyroll, with Disney Plus on the horizon. Made a Plex server, now got about 20tb worth of movies and shows. I own the files and can stream them to all my devices and streaming boxes. Worst part is not everything can be purchased physically. Losing access to these shows really sucks for digital preservation, sometimes streaming-only shows get cancelled and basically erased from existence if nobody ripped them. Now Best Buy is no longer selling DVDs so I have no reason to go there anymore
Arrrgh a pirates life for me 🏴☠️
If I don't use a VPN my ISP will ban me for stepping near certain parts of the seven seas after 6 warnings and I'm already on warning 1.
I have 300 CDs and 60 DVDs.
I like how neatly he put the point of the video at the very last sentence:
"Buy the bluray to watch it"
Truly the only way you can confidently own your favourite piece of media is by having a physical copy, let it be a bluray disk, a pirated copy saved on your hard drive, a literal videotape, etc.
Physical copies might become unplayable. I had vhs tapes, but nobody produces vhs players anymore, so I can't easily watch them, because this means buying a second hand machine, which are limited in supply, and might break. I feel the same is happening with dvds now, since I got a new laptop and it has no dvd input.
Therefore, you either pirate a digital copy, or, if you want to be really safe in case storing files somehow becomes "outdated", actual film and a projector (ok, maybe that's too far lmao just pirate).
@@object4124 ok its a lot easier with dvd/blu ray due to the fact that most consoles after the ps2 have it and you can still install internal/plug in external optical drives on computers and also convert to a digital copy
@@object4124 we will turn as much as we can right into digital, and spread it. Things will continue to exist whether companies like it or not

I genuinely get a kick from rummaging through bargain bins in stores to try and find old movies I used to enjoy. You get permanent access to the content, on demand whenever you want, for usually an insanely low one time price. Honestly the concept of streaming services is just stupid now.

and yet piracy was still better
@@therewasoldcringe nahh. Pirated films are usually garbage quality compared to the pristine 4k you get on Netflix. so a few years ago before this shitty pandemic streaming boom, it was defo worth the money to get a netflix subscription. now it's just chaotic crap
@@god-of-war-fannot true, they have remuxes on the interwebs
The feeling of shock you’d feel when your chosen show or movie wasn’t on Netflix, you’d feel like you were in a dream or something
Thank you Dunkey for introducing me to the first pirate-type streaming services.
This is why I am grateful for growing up with vcd and dvd back then.
I think having a monopoly is pretty unethical, but for a while there I remember everything I ever wanted was just on Netflix and there really wasn't any other competition and it was so nice.
It never had to be that all that content was spread out like that. It could have been as simple as having different services while still providing all the content across different platforms. Hell, the only thing you'd miss out on would be exclusives. But no, they gotta rip the catalogue apart so they all have little pieces you're forced to assemble via numerous subscriptions.
The problem with a monopoly isn't that one entity controls the entire market.
The problem with monopolies in the current economic system is that a handful of rich and powerful people - a handful of upper management and major investors - controo what the monopoly does.
Competition isn't a magic bullet that solves all problems, its just one mechanism through which you can distribute that decision making power among a larger group of affected people.
Any method of distributing that power can fix the problems monopolies bring - not just competition.
Healthcare is the obvious example.
In most developed countries, the government effectively has monopoly power over the entire healthcare system, and yet, unlike the one developed country with free market healthcare, healthcare isn't a massive problem in most of the developed world - because putting the monopoly under the control of a democratic government distributes the decision making power more effectively than making a handful of large corporations 'compete'.
@@firstnamelastname8439 all fair points. I’m not about to Dunning-Kruger my way though a debate on the morality of corporate monopolies because that’s kind of a mess and way beyond the scope of my expertise, but a lot of my perspective is just based on cynicism.
Can a monopoly be agnostic-beneficial in some facets? Sure. But my faith in the ability for them to retain that alignment isn’t very strong.
@@mikeisfine because all they care about is money. companies have shown this time and time again. the one that's on top will always introduce anti-consumer practices and raise prices, while the ones that have to beat said top company will be the ones that introduce pro-consumer pratices and fairly low prices to get people to use their services. you can't trust them.
If only the competition was about the underlying streaming tech and service and not a race to see who can hoover up the most licenses.
"The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It's by giving those people a service that's better than what they're receiving from the pirates."
But that would require thought and effort. Can't have that, too busy making money.
Gaben truly understood gamers
How many more years and how many increasingly convoluted subscription services will it take before any of these companies understand this, I wonder
the amount of effort that it took to put this short video together must have been pretty intense. It really makes it so clear how much of a pain it is to try and keep up with a line of movies or shows. Well done!
There's a fucking website telling us how to watch Pokemon and it's still hard to follow
The best part is it's still a simplification since he didn't even go over different countries having different shows in the same streaming service
You can literally look up what streaming service movies are on. I love dunkey but this video took probably a pretty normal amount of effort.
well thats what leaves me confused, im Australian and aussie netflix has notoriously less shows than US but almost every show he said is just on netflix lol, @@dared29
this is SO MUCH RESEARCH for a 5 minute video. good on ya
Ironically, my husband actually would watch this wanting to know where to watch Godzilla vs KingKong, because he LOVES Godzilla... which makes the ending 20x funnier to me lmfao
bruh just torrent it or watch on piracy streaming sites
Tubi also has almost every Godzilla movie from 1954 to 1975. It's completely free and has plenty of other weird movies nothing else has. Low-key best streaming service, Tubi.
This feels awfully personal. I can imagine dunkey and Leia sitting down to watch a movie and then this whole mess unfolded.
i got it on VHS
The Criterion Channel is the pinnacle of streaming: Here’s a fuckload of movies with loads of extras when available from all over the world, from the beginning of film to now, sometimes as part of themed collections. So much gold on there for movies.
Also Tubi’s pure democracy of placing art house perfection alongside bottom barrel trash and all for no charge but dealing with commercials = genius
They got the Godzilla movies
the only streaming service i pay for, its a no brainer especially comparing its price to how much their dvd/blu rays cost
If you like wierd movies and music, check out Night Flight.
It's only available in the US, so far from pinnacle.
Must be nice. They should make it available outside the US too.
This is why piracy is completely and unironically justified.
The best part of videos like these is I genuinely can't tell how much of it, if any, Dunkey is making up.
Back when Streaming Services were still in its nascent stage, I remember they actually had a uniqueness to it. They were offering great TV shows and all the movies you wanted in one place. Now there's so many of them to the point that the good stuff is actually hard to find and the regular mediocre stuff keeping getting shoved down.
You mean, back when Netflix was the only service an no other company thought it was going to work.
They're also so obsessed with "original content" they think will keep users loyal that they keep churning out hundreds of canceled-after-one-season mediocre copy and paste heistfilm-quality shows and everything gets lost in a sea of weeds. That example with trying to find Django is me everytime I try to use netflix these days and it's infuriating.
Sidenote: I hate the word nascent, it sounds so unpleasant to say lmao
The Pokémon portion is so funny to me. I tried to be legit but it was so horrible, when the piracy website I found has it from the first episode and updates regularly with all the new ones as soon as they're released AND it has all the movies too 😂
Then: We have two major services. Netflix and Blockbuster.
Now: *Lemme show you how to scratch it* -Thanos
Thank you for shedding light on how many mom type movies exist, Dunkey. I feel like someone just unveiled a treasure trove of gold before my eyes.
i had to pause on that screen to read all the titles lmao. i was similarly enlightened 😂
Are you telling me you weren't aware of Killer Mom, the largest contribution to Mom type cinema in the last decade?
This is like the Kingdom Hearts Guide video where I am pretty sure 2-3 of these things were jokes but I’m not sure I could tell you with 100% confidence what they were
I cackled out loud at the "good news for hockey fans" announcement. Then, shortly afterward resumed my journey into despair thanks to how accurate this video felt overall.
Dunkey, I would love to see your "best of 2023". I think that having a child this year is a good twist since you have less time to play games.
This is why I always like physical media.
Also, look at your local libraries. They likely have a lot of DVD's you would like to watch and they're free.
This is why I download movies for free.
Sorry but I dont even have a working dvd drive anymore.
Physical media for the win x
But I have to leave the house to do that
@@TheSuperappelflap Understandable. I have a PS4, which can play DVDs and Bluray's

This deserves a billion of views and clearly explains why copyright system needs to be redesigned completely from the scratch.
Not completely from scratch.
Keeping the addendum that Disney can never touch these laws again is a good place to start
In the world of AI, copyright will be irrelevant anyway
@@ctg4818xD you’re the type of guy to invest in trash crypto.
You’re amazed by the concept but you don’t understand it.
Doesn’t mean you’re wrong, it just means it’s a matter of luck.
Become a person of expertise, commit your time to understanding the topics thoroughly.
@@LoLFilmStudios No doubt AI will definitely make copyright of things iffy. Even if obvious AI "creations" become outlawed in places that doesn't stop people from using them as bases. I don't know how labelling them into a certain group of people based on one comment (that you also said isn't wrong) helps the discussion about copyright, but everyone has their insecurity or 2.
the easy solution is to stop these exclusive licenses. It would be cool if a publisher would just sell licences that are not exklusive.
So much more simple than TV channels. Now everything I want to watch is all in one places.
Bro... you captured my entire experience when i try to marathon sequels...
My blood pressure went up listening to this video because of how accurate it is.
also it wasn't because of the video
"I don't understand why everybody went back to piracy" - Some CEO who earned a nice Christmas bonus while you got jack shit
Mark my words, it won't be long before cable companies work out how to package all these streaming services together and we're all just back to cable TV again.
Also, Jesus Christ is Lord.
Tbh just having a one search box would be an improvement, so cable companies aggregating content would, somehow, be an upgrade over current situation
With mandatory commercial breaks!
Honestly, having a handful of bundles rather than dozens of individual services would still be a huge improvement.
There's always pirating
That would be a good thing
Thanks Dunkey, now I know how to watch the hit classic film King Kong vs. Godzilla! Truly the most comprehensive streaming services guide.
This is going to go down as an all-time great Dunkley video. What a way to start off the new year!
It's Jan 6 2024, my favorite streaming service is also BigMode+
Wow! With such a comprehensive guide, streaming has never been so convenient!
It's really telling that I haven't heard of like 80% of these platforms. How dod we get to the point that paying to watch movies and shows is more confusing than pirating them? This is exactly why we need physical media. Along with many other reasons.
Agreed
Funnily enough my library has king Kong vs Godzilla on Blu-ray as part of a Godzilla collection. So that's where you have to go to watch king Kong vs Godzilla
Amen, brother.
I could pay for 15 different services.
Or, get this; Internet Archive go brrrr
We don't need physical media because digital media has become a hellscape, that's downright silly nonsense. No, digital media should just be affordable and convenient to have access to, because the obvious alternative is to pirate, and the media conglomerates should know this.
"we need physical media because streaming services are bullshit"
.......?
I believe the term for the logical fallacy that you used is called 'false equivalency', for further reading.
I like that dunkey is taking a break from video games to school basically every industry in the world
This was such a high effort video that NEEDED to be made. Thank you Dunkey.
Theyve actually somehow made cable look good again
I've been really into mom type movies lately, and thanks to Dunkey I now know exactly where to find them. Just wish I knew where all the strand type movies are
THANK YOU
was scrolling for ages waiting for someone to make this joke

I’m gonna need a weekly streaming service update from Dunkey now. It’s the modern day tv guide 🏆
Thank you, dunkey, for this comprehensive and in-depth guide to streaming services to start off 2024
I miss the early days of Netflix. They had everything and all in one place. Plus I got a DVD in the mail every 4 to 8 days.
Netflix went from "spend $8 a month to watch every movie ever made in human history" to "spend $20 a month to watch our shitty original series that we'll cancel after the first season with no warning."
true @@Irisverse
cant really blame netflix though, other companies wanted a slice of the pie and wouldnt let netflix stream on there and created their own platforms
@@TheYUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Yeah, I can definitely empathize with Netflix's problems. Every one of the big companies went from wanting a slice of that streaming pie. Unfortunately now we have 40 different pies of varying quality and they keep on swapping slices with each other. So now when you, the consumer, go in to get some pie there are 30 pies, with small slices, and some of the slices are burnt or actual dog shit.

As an NHL fan actually trying to find out what services I need to watch my team I'm very pleased with the additions of Indiana Jones.
indiana jones is of course taking the leafs playoffs spot so better luck next year leafs fans
@@FishKnight I'm a leafs fan 💀
I think Blockbuster might be able to make a comeback. All I have to do is stop by my local store on my way home and I can watch whatever I want? Sounds great.
only if they get the license to sell it. id imagine these huge companies would just open a physical store if people started switching mediums
redbox
@@ba_charlesdoesn't redbox mostly have recent releases with a few exceptions.
This was such a great criticism of the headache that is finding any movie today. Unusual but very pleasant. As always thanks for the laugh dunk man.
Pirate the movie and you have it quick and easy, saved forever.
this man is a savant. it's completely impossible to tell, the lines between utter bullshit and stone cold facts are blurred seamlessly into an abstract art installment
