1/ I remain surprised by lack of UI/X innovation on Disney+. Iger spoke of unique navigation. To date this just means tiles like "Marvel" or "Princesses"

Netflix launched kids UI in 2011 with character-based search + discovery

Disney+ still doesn't separate MCU from Fox Marvel
2/ You'd expect playlists like "Iron Man's Complete Journey", "The Complete MCU", "MCU in Chronological Order", "MCU Post Credits" (to steal from YouTube viewing), click to watch final battle with Thanos or other favorite moments (again, YT)

Not even icons saying X-men isn't MCU
3/ Some of these will come in time, but to date, the self-contained platform argument is more that everything is here (e.g. All MCU) and not other stuff (Irishman), as compares to Netflix

Little is done to make this focus more enriching, easier, better, more unique, IP-centric
4/ It's kind of nuts you can't just go to Disney+ and watch the entire MCU via list

You need to know what titles are in it, which titles are Marvel but not MCU, what order to watch

That's a huge, odd and hard to communicate burden you'd think Disney+ is designed to solve easy
5/ Put more clearly, you still need to write a list of what moves someone should watch and in which order to complete the MCU. Or they should go to Wikipedia

Disney+ should specifically lay this out, point you to where to go for titles they don't have rights to, + help you watch
6/ There are some collections, but they’re not in order, include random titles, not findable in search.

The Darth Vader collection goes Ep 3, spinoff, 4, 5. Anything with Anakin is missing. But Lego series are there!

Search Vader, same issue but now Tinkerbell singalongs there
