Quote:Disney CEO Bob Iger said there will be a pullback in content spending and creation for the Star Wars and Marvel franchises.
Earlier this year Disney said it would slash $5.5 billion in costs, including $3 billion in non-sports content costs.
Iger said the explosion in Marvel TV shows in recent years "diluted focus and attention" for the brand.

We've been cutting back on streaming expenses lately and I guess we'll have to figure out what we want to live without in the Disney+ plan in the next couple of weeks.
I realize inflation is affecting everyone, and I suspect the new agreement with the Writers Guild of America may be cited as a reason for the price increase. But we're just not getting the value from these services we once did.
