‘Scott Pilgrim Takes Off’ Creator Goes Off On Amazon For Following Netflix’s Binge Model With ‘Fallout’ 

While Amazon’s ‘Fallout‘ became fans’ favorite and critically acclaimed almost overnight, the creator of Netflix’s ‘Scott Pilgrim Takes Off’, BenDavid Grabinski was not happy with the show. Netflix is one of the most popular and well-known streaming platforms in the world.

However, despite having several iconic shows such as ‘Squid Game’ in 2020 and others, the hype around the shows dies down seemingly quickly. According to BenDavid, this was because of Netflix’s binge model. He talked about how ‘there’s literally no upside’ to the binge model.

Netflix’s binge-watching model refers to the practice of releasing entire seasons of TV shows all at once. While it is good for the viewers as it allows them to watch multiple episodes in a single sitting if they choose to do so, this approach contrasts with traditional weekly episodic releases.

Netflix was also the first to start this practice and other platforms followed its lead. Amazon’s adaptation of the video game ‘Fallout’ was loved by its viewers and had impressively high ratings. However, Ben’s concerns were not regarding the series adaptation but Amazon’s way of releasing it.

On his X account, he claimed that he wanted to release two episodes weekly for his show. However, Netflix forced him to release it all in one go. So it remains a mystery whether the ‘Fallout’ hype will die down or not, proving Ben’s theory. Additionally, he even compared ‘Fallout‘s rollout with ‘X-Men ’97‘.

While ‘Fallout’ was loved by its fans, according to a lot of Amazon adapting the binge model for its release killed a lot of hype. The binge model caters to viewers who prefer to consume content in large chunks, while the TV model builds anticipation and fosters discussion between episodes.

However, it is popularly believed the binge model is killing the excitement people feel if the episodes are aired weekly. “It’s literally bad for everyone, from the creators to the companies to the culture writers to the audience. There is no discernible upside,” an X user commented.

Well, with a plethora of streaming platforms and a never-ending bidding war on content, a gripping storyline is what the viewers need.
