In the 70's, ABC had a Movie of the Week, which was their way of programming a slew of made-for-TV movies, but also to use as a test kitchen for series pilots. It's where we got Kolchak, The Rookies, The Six Million Dollar Man, Alias Smith and Jones, Starsky and Hutch, and on and on.

Imagine if MarvelDisney did something like this. Last year we got Werewolf by Night, which was amazing. Imagine getting a standalone film like that each month, with a reasonable budget, testing whether audiences want a series or not.

I think they should just do like 1 short like that per quarter. You can always do maybe 1 series a year too. Loki has been good. Moon knight was good. But they have rushed so many endings on shows because of covid or strikes or whatever.

Like do a universe 838 1 hour short leading into dr strange. Can do shorts on some xmen stuff leading into deadpool.

Werewolf By Night was probably one of the best things from this “phase”, down to using the old “ABC special” bumper at the front of it.
