James Bond, Rocky, and The Pink Panther? To be fair, Disney bought Marvel before the Cinematic Universe really took off. Marvel would sell for a hell of a lot more now. But MGM, and it's subsidiaries, also own, or co-produced, a lot of TV shows. So depending how much rights they have to the co-produced stuff, this could really beef up Amazon's library of TV shows. --- PSN - NoxObscuras Z490 \| i9-10900K \| EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra \| 32GB DDR4 3600 \| 4TB SSD <cite>NoxObscuras posted [p:963525945] in Amazon clo...
