Marvel's superheroes are about to get a bit bigger on your TV. Disney+ announced today that it's adding an expanded IMAX aspect ratio for 13 Marvel titles, including Shang-Chi and Black Panther, on November 12th (AKA "Disney+ Day"). The 1.90:1 IMAX aspect ratio will look up to 26 percent taller than the typical 2.35:1 widescreen format in Marvel films, so those annoying black bars will almost disappear while you're watching scenes shot in IMAX. (You'll still see some slight bars, though, as the IMAX format doesn't completely fill 16x9 widescreen TVs.)

Disney
Before this Disney+ partnership, IMAX and DTS brought the "IMAX Enhanced" home viewing format to a handful of TV streaming apps, like Sony's Bravia Core. IMAX-ified films will have a prominent label on their Disney+ screens, and you'll also be able to launch the standard widescreen version if you prefer. Physical Blu-ray collectors are already used to shifting IMAX aspect ratios in some films, most notably The Dark Knight, Tenet and Mission Impossible: Fallout, but streaming films have typically lost on this perk.


The expanded aspect ratio should give Marvel's action sequences more room to pop on your TV, and it's a feature Disney+ can lord over its streaming competitors. Technically, IMAX Enhanced isn't delivering the large film format's true aspect ratio, which is more square. But, as we saw with Zack Snyder's Justice League, that leads to enormous black bars on the sides of your TV. It's also worth noting that we won't see IMAX versions of The Avengers and Ant-Man, as those are the rare Marvel films that used the TV-filling 1.85:1 aspect ratio (a choice made to convey a better sense of height).

Looking ahead, IMAX Enhanced will also bring immersive DTS sound to Disney+, a competing option to the more ubiquitous Dolby Atmos format. Representatives from all of the companies involved tell us that IMAX Enhanced films will also support Dolby Vision, HDR10, 4K (naturally) and Dolby Atmos sound.

Here are all the IMAX Enhanced films arriving on Disney+ on November 12th:

• Ant-Man and the Wasp
• Avengers: Infinity War
• Avengers: Endgame
• Black Panther
• Black Widow
• Captain America: Civil War
• Captain Marvel
• Doctor Strange
• Guardians of the Galaxy 1 & 2
• Iron Man
• Thor Ragnarok
• Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

Do you like The Simpsons?

Used to - watched the very first episode when I was a youth. Just gotten washed down over early-mid 2000’s.

I'd say so but it really depends on what you're into.
Marvel (MCU and a lot of the Fox stuff)
Star Wars
Simpsons
Classic Disney Animated Movies (Aladdin, Lion King, Goofy Movie, Jungle Book, etc.)
Classic Disney shows (Goof Troop, Talespin, Darkwing Duck, etc.)
Then you have the OG X-Men and Spiderman animated series and all the ones after
And some other cool stuff sprinkled in.

Just signed up for the $1.99 deal to watch Shang-Chi, that alone is worth it lol. Saw a mild quality stream of Black Widow so will watch it again. Will let nephew and niece watch Disney stuff. One month is enough.

Only used Disney+ to watch Soul, but after seeing that new Proud Family trailer... definitely plan on watching the entire original series before the reboot releases.

I will say it's my least used streaming service
but there's just a too much nostalgia to pass up.
Plus its pretty clutch to be able to throw on any
Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, Disney movie at any time.

Don't really do the originals, but I do watch Jeff Goldblum and I'm
looking forward to that Will Smith show

 

[Mark Antony]

The IMAX stuff looks great.

this **** bout to be fire

 

[Fozz]

this **** bout to be fire

I think that series is going to be legit. Especially how they won’t have to tone down the seriousness of the storyline, like they did back then.
