I mean, they got financing for $20B that if they don&#8217;t make GREAT strides in revenue, then yes, they will probably be $20 billion in debt. BUT what&#8217;s NETFLIX&#8217;s plan in the whole &#8220;making great strides&#8221; department?<\/p>\n<p>Well, essentially investing more in producing original content. Not to be confused with buying movies and such and branding them as &#8220;original&#8221;, but more\u00a0<em>creating\u00a0<\/em>original content like STRANGER THINGS was born from the NETFLIX house. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Well, some news broke that seems to indicate that they&#8217;re making good on that. NETFLIX has acquired MILLARWORLD.<\/p>\n<p>Now those of you not familiar with MILLARWORLD it&#8217;s basically the publishing company from comic creator Mark Millar. AND if you&#8217;re not familiar with Millar? Well, \u00a0he&#8217;s been a writer of a copious amount of Marvel titles. He&#8217;s also the creator of a few comics that&#8217;s been adapted into movies that you might be familiar with. Comics like KICK-ASS, and KINGSMEN: THE SECRET SERVICE to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t be more excited for this. Mainly because there are so many titles in the MILLARWORLD stable I would love to see adapted, titles like <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2wqX9ph\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>SUPERIOR<\/strong><\/a> (think SHAZAM, but more awesome. I mean, come on, there&#8217;s a space monkey!), and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/search\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_sr_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=ben06a-20&amp;keywords=Nemesis comics&amp;index=aps&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;linkId=d0ae28813e49935aabfcce0d178e22cb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>NEMESIS<\/strong><\/a> (one of the best anti-heroes I&#8217;ve read in recent years). To think about casting of what those might end up to be? Well, safe to say, I&#8217;m geeking out pretty hard over here.<\/p>\n<p>No word yet as far as next steps.
