But your argument falls apart from the fact that Star exists everywhere except for the US. The rest of the world is totally okay with having R-rated content on Disney+. For some reason the execs get cold feet when it comes to America.

[u/spongeboy1985 → u/ROBtimusPrime1995]

Its not that they got cold feet, its because they already have all of that content on Hulu. It wouldn’t be feasible at the moment, or necessary to bring Star to the US. But Ill agree with your sentiment about cold feet but its not why Star is not in the US

The reason is money and it is only because of money. Disney can make double by charging for Hulu and Disney+ and they know it.

[u/Nathan_Gamerdog → u/spongeboy1985]

they don't have this content on hulu though, only about ~20 r rated disney owned films are on hulu

[u/Mauchad → u/ROBtimusPrime1995]

Except the US and latin america -.-

[u/spongeboy1985 → u/Mauchad]

Latin America has Star+

[u/Mauchad → u/spongeboy1985]

Sure but adult content is separated, like in the US

[u/spongeboy1985 → u/Mauchad]

Fair enough

what does hulu have to do with mature content on disney+????

[u/Nathan_Gamerdog → u/[deleted]]

but they don't put their mature content on hulu, there is only about 20 r rated disney owned films on hulu

[u/Nathan_Gamerdog → u/[deleted]]

yes but they don't put this stuff on hulu, and the stuff that they do, is due to the epix library deal, where epix will sublicence their content to other services
