In the long run this wouldn't have made Peacock Live much more of a threat to Disney+ (I guess it depends how good these hypothetical movies would've been) But Disney would've been PISSED

It's pretty obvious the only reason Spider-Man worked out the way it did was because Sony was continuously faceplanting and Disney offered a ridiculous deal Sony felt obligated to take. None of the same leverage is available for Universal.

I'm low-key expecting there to someday be a deal between Disney and Universal where Universal gets something really major and Disney just gets Hulk movie rights and some theme park rights.

I can literally imagine them negotiating over the final, "modern" sitcom parody on WandaVision (the one most relevant to their current bottom line) "If you have to reference an NBC sitcom make it The Office That ship has sailed in terms of cultural impact"

Getting in a fight over "We don't want the show to remind people of The Good Place" "But the WHOLE IDEA reminds people of The Good Place"

So the house in that episode looks very close to the Modern Family house and the marketing emphasized the connection to Modern Family even though when they were writing it they were absolutely thinking of the tone of a Michael Schur sitcom (Office/Parks & Rec/The Good Place)

The whole "Vision escapes the circus" thing could in theory have happened on Modern Family I guess but it feels so much more like something lifted from Parks and Rec or The Good Place, that specific surreal casualness with which everyone treats this absurdity

Anyway The one sitcom episode I *know* everyone went back and watched from WandaVision is the "walnut episode" of The Dick Van Dyke Show ("It May Look Like a Walnut", Feb. 6, 1963) But they all just looked it up on YouTube

I know this because I also looked it up on YouTube and whoever illegally put up these old episodes has hundreds of comments from other WandaVision viewers who did so, and these are the only comments their channel has ever gotten

CBS completely missed the opportunity here to try to piggyback on Disney and tell people "If you like The Dick Van Dyke show, watch all the episodes streaming on CBS All Access!" Ironically because of the fact that everyone who works at CBS is apparently very old

There probably was some bickering over "Yes, it does have to be The Dick Van Dyke Show, no, I don't care that it's owned by CBS, CBS owns I Love Lucy too, they own everything from back then because that's when they were the good network"

Mollified by the fact that Dick van Dyke, the person, is a "Disney Legend" and in the Disney Hall of Fame and whatnot and was willing to come down to the set to give his advice and blessing
