I've been loud about the Netflix thing, even through the meltdowns and dramatic hot takes. BUT... I'm wondering whether they have her a "First Look" deal like they've been doing with a lot of the big comedians and actors. Basically, they have first dibs on her output, but if if they pass or can't come to an alignment ($$$) she's free to take it elsewhere? That would be a scenario where dropping it elsewhere could be plausible. So could another streamer buying them out. So, if she has a 100 million deal with Apple, they could (in essence) buy out her remaining commitment to bring her over to them. Messy, but possible. Like someone else, I actually believe most of everything we've read (good, bad, and otherwise). Many things can be true at once. I just don't buy Summer 2023 for Ren act 1 visuals. Like, she'd actually be on tour by that period. Not only would people have moved on from the music, but all the big reveals the visuals would bring would essentially be pre-empted with the tour choreo and visuals. Nah.

I think Netflix is struggling financially and can’t pay out what she’s asking for. They have had some really rough patches and lots of layoffs recently, so it’s possible they renegotiated the deal to a first-look deal or canned it altogether after hearing her asking amount for the film.

Or should I say the "framing of takes like this". The music business is not a fairytale of service from the Queen to her servants. It's about commerce. Granted there's no Bey without us (the stans), she theoretically doesn't OWE us anything. Same way, we don't actually OWE her anything. IMO, it's not a case of "not giving an eff about the fans", but more about her being overly invested in flexing and coinage. Amazon, Apple, HBO, hell even Hulu (owned by Disney), would all shell out HUGE sums to her, but none of them will give her the cultural reach she'd get from a Netflix. It's seeming more and more like they shot the full thing and are now shopping it. Which actually wouldn't be new, as that was apparently the case with Lemonade and BIK. But this is new terrain of wild to have the music actually OUT and a deal seemingly not firmly in place BEFORE July 29th.

Or maybe I should stay and see how y’all turn a clear money-chasing move into “she just cares about the arts!!!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bey Admired Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I think we would all forgive her if she released videos for BMS and Cuff It, but she hasn’t given us ANYTHING We know that something is coming, but we can only wait so long before it feels like we’re being taken for granted! I envisioned a million ways in which this era could turn out, but I would have never in a million years predicted this catastrophe. It’s quite simply diabolical! If there’s any album that is meant to be accompanied by visuals, it’s this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally NO ONE watches their streaming service, so on the one hand it will be a big get for them (to promote it) but it just won't give Bey the reach one might think it would. This (Bey's antics) are really giving a Tidal situation just with more premium players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
