Disney Plus Vs. Other Streaming Services 

Walt Disney Company started planning on creating Disney Plus after acquiring BAMTech in 2016. Thereafter, they started taking back their copyrights on Disney movies and shows from other streaming platforms. Now, these Disney movies and shows will be exclusive to their own streaming platform. Hence, you will not find Disney shows on other platforms. 

In comparison to other streaming services, Disney is heavily focused on only their own content. Therefore, you will have a limited range of content to choose from. However, there is something for everybody in this new streaming service. 

Also, Disney Plus is more affordable than other streaming platforms. Even Netflix’s lowest subscription costs $9. Additionally, there are no tiers in the Disney Plus subscription. This means that each and everyone will get access to all the benefits like unlimited downloads and 4K viewing. 

However, Disney Plus suffers from some technical difficulties. The search function is kind of broken and doesn’t work correctly. Moreover, their User Interface is unclean and could use some redesigning. Disney Plus has also removed any R-rated movies and series from its platform. Such content will be automatically redirected to Hulu. Thus, Disney Plus will be strictly PG-13. 

Regarding Disney and Marvel Shows on Netflix 

Apart from this, you may be wondering about Marvel TV Shows on Netflix. During its decision on creating Disney Plus, Netflix was directed to cancel all upcoming Marvel shows. As of now, it is not particularly sure whether it is temporary or permanent. 

Moreover, the current Marvel shows will be available on Netflix until 2019. Starting from 2020, they will be taken off Netflix and be made available on Disney Plus.
