Zack Sharf The Parents Television Council (PTC) is speaking out against Disney ahead of the March 16 addition of former Netflix-Marvel series “Daredevil,” “Jessica Jones,” “Luke Cage,” “Iron Fist,” “The Punisher” and “The Defenders” on Disney Plus.
All of these series are significantly more violent and adult in theme and subject matter compared to the other offerings in the Disney Plus library.
The PTC warned Disney that streaming these series would “destroy your brand.”“For more than 98 years, the Walt Disney Company has been synonymous with the words Family Friendly, and I can think of no other corporation in American history that has been built more squarely on the backs – and on the wallets – of parents and families,” Tim Winter, president of the Parents Television and Media Council, said in a statement. “The company’s eponymous platform Disney Plus logically marketed itself as a family-friendly streaming service, and parents have placed their trust in Disney to deliver just that.” Winter continued, “It seems wildly ‘off-brand’ for Disney Plus to add TV-MA and R-rated programming to this platform, ostensibly to increase subscription revenue.
So what comes next, adding live striptease performances in Fantasyland at Disney World?”Disney Plus is updating its parental control settings on March 16 in tandem with these TV-MA series’ launching on the platform.
