Hulu’s not available outside of the US.
Like… I get what you mean but Disney is now far more than princesses and Pixar movies.
In Canada, they have “Star” on top of it which has FX content like TWD, Preacher, AHS etc…
So personally, it’s been a while since I saw it as a kid’s only service… For my kids they have their age restricted profile on which they don’t see any of that stuff.
I love how the Deadpool movies are on Disney. They may as well move South Park there too
Trying to remember what Marvel property that is… Eternals?
Jessica Jones season 1.
Oh yeah, J.J. I had forgotten about that.
But keep in mind that’s a Netflix product Marvel inherited, it’s not quite the same class as, say Agatha All Along.
p.s. How freaking amazing was David Tennant in that.
That wasn’t even just rape, that was so far beyond.
Fair enough opinion
However, I think you may miss the fact that Disney has been intentionally expanding their boundaries and public perception. Marvel and the MCU are a big part of that.
They seem to want to have their cake and eat it too, what with still pounding the princesses hard and such.
I don’t think they’d be willing to sever their more adult friendly side now that they’re finally being seen as more than just the mouse. The fact that they went with Deadpool and kept it R, they’re definitely set solidly on a new path to their image.
Maybe if shareholders and whatever muckitty mucks that have pull changed, and there was pressure from the public too, the company might shift gears back towards the tween and under focus, but I don’t see the consistent success of their grown up targeted stuff being dumped without that kind of sweeping pressure from both sides.
I don’t want to watch any of that.
If you do, you’ll probably enjoy The Boys on Amazon.
I was looking on Hulu yesterday and saw an entire section on the main page that was Disney stuff. Like Deadpool & Wolverine, Daredevil, Jessica Jones etc.
So they’re already there in the US. Apparently Hulu isn’t available outside the US, which I didn’t know.

Why? There are parental controls, and you can adjust the content you see. If you don’t want mature themes or coarse language, you should adjust the settings on your account.
All of the Netflix Marvel shows were made prior to Disney acquiring Marvel Studios, and were created to tell the heavier mortality stories. Daredevil, JJ, Punisher, even Luke Cage dipped into some heavy shit. And they were all pretty good at it. All those characters were complex adults with real world issues and traumas. Kingpin was as human as he’s ever been in the comics. Cottonmouth and Mariah Stokes were people doing what they thought they had to do. Kilgrave is the answer to “what’s the worst that could happen?”
Disney wouldn’t make those now (as evidenced by all the punches they pulled in Moon Knight and Agatha All Along). But Disney owns them. Why pretend they don’t?
