To make up for this apparent discrepancy, along with the new/old shows, Disney announced that they would be updating their parental controls, including an option that would encrypt profiles with a PIN. But Disney+ already had parental controls to some extent, which is what makes the whole thing so weird; why would Disney ever need to keep adult content from reaching adults?
Seemingly it all boils down to some amorphous Disney ethos; their streaming service had to be overly morally upstanding, in the same way that Disney theme parks don’t allow swearing or, for a long time, alcohol. But while cursing like a sailor in the Magic Kingdom is still frowned upon, they have relaxed their rules on alcohol consumption to the point where you can now get hammered on cocktails named after nonsense words George Lucas cobbled together in order to sell action figures 45 years ago.
Similarly, it seems like their streaming content rules are now wavering, allowing for these Marvel shows, and also more “adult-focused fare” like Black-ish and Jimmy Kimmel Live to go to Disney+ rather than Hulu. And while Disney shuffling programs between various streamers that they also happen to own may seem ultimately inconsequential, it does imply that the company is finally accepting that grown-ups watch Disney+ – and can make informed decisions about what content is appropriate for themselves and their families. This hopefully means that all those ‘80s comedies and Broadway musicals will get their F-bombs and butt cracks back.
