I hope they replace it with something more accurate. The issue I've had with their Netflix Original label is that they've included both their Netflix-produced content and their licensing-based exclusives as Netflix Originals, which I feel is very misleading. In terms of the license-based exclusives, they should have called them exactly that, Exclusive and leave the Netflix Originals for content they've had a hand in producing. Otherwise, it gives Netflix viewers the false impression that everything under the Netflix Original label is somehow produced by Netflix, which is simply not true. But Netflix never made a clear distinction in labeling their content.
Part of the issue relates to how they've treated the label, throwing both their produced content and licensed-based exclusive under one label which has created the issue of exclusive content of such varying quality, thus diluting the brand. The other thing is that Netflix is a truly global brand in the sense that there are many countries it has to cater to and provide content of varying languages, and rather than produce that content, they might license it as an exclusive, which then might get marketed in other markets as a Netflix Original.
We saw this at work when Netflix got the international license for Star Trek Discovery early on, though they might have put money towards its production too. This all changed when Paramount made plans to launch Paramount+.
Other examples would include the more recent version of Anne of Green Gables, Anne with an E. In Canada, this was a CBC show while Netflix picked up international exclusive rights for it and labeled as a Netflix Original. Another example would be the first three seasons of Snowpiercer. Again, not a Netflix produced show, but Netflix at one point had picked up the international streaming rights and called it a Netflix Original in those markets.
Using this tactic, they were able to bolster their 'original' content.

We can also give similar examples of local shows and movies produced outside the United States, starring local actors whose native language is not English.
Mid century modern was cancelled a while back, but I missed the news.
Is it really "news"?
Sitcom where three Gay Men in their 50s(??) share a large house together.
Obviously an updated unlicensed re-imagining of the Golden Girls.
Maybe they should have called it The Golden Boys?
Which makes me unpleasantly think of watersports, so maybe it's less troublesome to not change the name, but then how much would it cost to buy the license?

We liked that show. Pretty broad humor, but really enjoyable.
Reminds me of the old "direct-to-DVD/home video" - although no official labels there, though everyone knew.
Right, exactly. Local shows that Netflix licenses out to say they have local content and support the local industry, but on the flipside allows Netflix to claim as original in other markets.
Might be exactly what happened with the Squid Game and Money Heist just to use examples off the top of my head.
That is likely seeing is how they have been holding back on it's release date for years. If people do like the character though he could maybe show up I would think in other movies or shows.

I wonder if this means streaming services are finally learning that they can't keep cancelling and pulling shows when a + gives off a perceived value.

Could they hurry up and give us a release date for For All Mankind already
Oh, stop it, both of you. There hasn't been any major delay (there's only ever been one firm release date and it was pushed back a mere month) and gods forbid Marvel does something different. Is that not what all of its detractors have been begging for?
Please spare us with that crap.
But in this case I think their was some delay. Some of it was impacted by COVID but my impression is most of this show along with Ironheart was the shows were ready to go for awhile. Also I got to think them doing Daredevil and then doing reshoots must have factored into this. Also some impact from shows made under Chapek.
Also I am not down on the show. Unlike Ironheart which looked bad even in the trailers this show does look like it might be fun and I am looking forward to it. I have some doubts as to how successful it will be but I think I might personally actually like it. It helps that they have two top notch actors as the leads in Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben KIngsley and to top it off I hear that Ed Harris and Olivia Thirlby are also going to be in it as well.
In the comics Simon William's recorded "brain patterns" were an integral part of the Vision's construction, why the Vision was seen as a real person and why the Scarlet which was capable of putting all her love into a kitchen appliance capable of turning that love.
After a botched attempt at world domination, the Vision was having a bad week, the the governments of the world got together and pulled him apart into a million pieces and boiled his hard drives, murdering his "sweet and nerdy" personality.
Grief stricken Wanda was given the empty remains of her husband, put back together again like legos, but without a recognizable soul, so she went back to the source, and BEGGED Wonderman for another "copy" of his brainwaves, to which Mr Wonderful had this to say...
"Whoa baby! Don't you think the reason that tin man, your husband loves you with all his heart, is because I love you with all my heart? Why settle for a shitty plastic impersonation of the real thing, when I'm right here baby, I love you, I want you, and I'm ready to commit to you here and now for ever because we're like destiny, y'now? Let's get down!"
"My husband is dead you absolute a-hole! He isn't even cold. For last time I don't want to be with you! I don't have time for this shit! Give me your damn brain patterns, or go to hell and die, you die, go to hell and die, you selfish piece of shit!"

What I described is about 15 years worth of selectively reading many, many, many comic books.
Unless this Wonderman TV show is set in the 90s, it has no connection with the Scarlet Witch storyline spinning out of Dr Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, which is very sad to me.
Oh ok.
