WandaVision Will Be the ‘Oddest of All the Marvel Endeavors So Far’
Expect WandaVision to get weird.
IGN caught up with the creative team behind the new Disney+ series at D23 Expo and asked how the series intends to approach its biggest WTF question: How can there be a WandaVision show when half of the series’ name, Vision, was killed in Avengers: Infinity War? Apparently, that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to WTF moments in the series, which is slated for a spring 2021 debut.
“It’s super avant-garde and weird. I don’t think either of us
could have expected to be going in this — if we were going to continue in this —

Doctor Strange Error Spotted in Avengers: Endgame
Given that the final battle in Avengers: Endgame features thousands of characters battling for the fate of the universe, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that a tiny mistake slipped through. Eagle-eyed fan @ironman.tw (via ComicBook) pointed out on Instagram that there’s one shot where Doctor Strange is inexplicably wearing the Eye of Agamotto even though it was destroyed by Thanos at the end of the Titan fight in Infinity War.
The blink-and-you-miss-it moment where you can catch a glimpse of the necklace comes just before Captain America gives his signature “Avengers assemble!” rallying cry.
World of Warcraft Director Explains Why Classic Server Queues Are Still So Long
World of Warcraft Classic servers are now live, and as expected, players are crowding to get in. Unfortunately, servers are still pretty packed leading to long queues for some of the more popular servers. World of Warcraft director has now issued some clarification on Blizzard’s plans to alleviate the long queues in the near future.

Netflix Still Makes Money On DVDs, Just Shipped Its 5 Billionth Disc
Movie and TV giant Netflix does a lot of its business through streaming these days, but some may be surprised to know the company is actually more than two decades old. Its legacy is in the by-mail DVD and Blu-ray rental sector–and that’s still very popular for Netflix.
The company ships 1 million discs every week, and now Netflix’s DVD business has reached a huge new milestone: 5 billion discs shipped.
“Five billion discs delivered is a huge milestone and we owe it all to our amazing members and team members,” Netflix said in a tweet announcing the news.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the Elton John biopic Rocketman was the 5 billionth DVD that went out to mail. One of the reasons people keep subscribing to the by-mail service is because not all movies are available to stream; Rocketman is an example of a popular movie that lots of people want to watch.
5,000,000,000 shipments. F I V E B I L L I O N .
The most heartfelt thank you to our incredible members that have been with us for the past 21 years of DVD Netflix. Five billion discs delivered is a huge milestone and we owe it all to our amazing members and team members. pic.twitter.com/Eg1bjEMtcx— DVD Netflix (@dvdnetflix) August 26, 2019
As of June 30, the end of Netflix’s most recent reporting period, the company had 2.4 million DVD by-mail subscribers. This works out to $157 million in revenue. The company’s streaming business, of course, is much larger; it counts more than 150 million subscribers worldwide and $9.3 billion in revenue.
Netflix is known for its huge number of original, exclusive series. One of the network’s upcoming shows is The Witcher, which stars Henry Cavill as Geralt.
Netflix was founded 21 years ago this week.
