With Disney now experimenting with putting some of its own content on Netflix for limited periods, I’ve been wondering if Netflix should ever try doing the reverse with some of its originals.
I’m not talking about huge flagship shows like Stranger Things. I’m thinking more about originals that were canceled, left unfinished, stuck in limbo, or just never reached as large an audience as they potentially could have.

Jentry Chau vs. the Underworld is one that immediately comes to mind for me. It still hasn’t gotten another season, and I wonder whether temporarily putting it somewhere like Disney+ or Hulu could introduce it to people who never would’ve discovered it on Netflix.

There are plenty of other examples too.
Inside Job was renewed and then had that renewal reversed. On the live-action side, 1899 was canceled after one season even though its creators had planned a larger three-season story. Lockwood & Co. was also canceled after one season despite having much more source material it could have adapted.
Those are the kinds of shows I’m thinking about.

I’m not saying another streaming service carrying them would automatically lead to a revival. It probably wouldn’t in most cases. But even a limited three- or six-month window somewhere else could give a show another chance to find viewers.

It could also be interesting for shows that don’t naturally reach Netflix’s biggest audiences. Something like Jentry Chau or Lockwood & Co. might find people on Disney+ or Hulu who simply never came across them on Netflix, while another canceled Netflix series might fit better on a completely different service.

Obviously rights and production agreements would make this much more complicated in reality, and Netflix probably wouldn’t want to license out everything it makes.
But Disney putting some of its own content on Netflix made me wonder whether streaming exclusivity really needs to be permanent for every show.

Would you want Netflix to experiment with temporarily licensing some of its canceled, overlooked, or unfinished originals to another streaming service?
And what Netflix Original would you give a second streaming window?

In Moonie Phases, Jentry is visibly uncomfortable seeing Michael hanging out with Alison. But when Moonie notices, Jentry says that Michael is allowed to be happy and spend time with whoever he wants.
I think that says a lot about what she was feeling. Jentry didn’t break up with Michael because she stopped caring about him. She pushed him away because she was scared that staying close to her would get him hurt or killed.

So seeing him with someone else probably made the breakup feel real in a way she wasn’t prepared for. She knows he isn’t doing anything wrong just by hanging out with Alison, but that doesn’t mean she can just switch off her feelings.

At the same time, I mean, if it bothered Jentry that much, she could’ve at least gone over and said something to him instead of keeping everything bottled up. She didn’t have to tell him who he could hang out with. She could’ve just admitted that seeing him move on hurt more than she expected.
To me, it feels like Jentry realizing that breaking up with someone to protect them doesn’t make the feelings disappear.

And I’m not saying everything was Jentry’s fault either. Some of the ways Michael had been treating her weren’t exactly fair to her, either. I just think in this particular moment, Jentry could’ve communicated what she was feeling instead of letting it build up.

What do you think she was feeling: jealousy, regret, sadness, or all three?

I’ve still been thinking about the Jentry Chau LightBox Expo panel, especially the fact that they specifically wrote that Jentry fans are “HIGHLY” encouraged not to miss it.

I don’t personally think it’s going to be a Season 2 announcement. I’d love to be wrong, obviously, but it’s been almost two years since the show came out and some of the people who worked on it have already moved on to other projects, so I’m trying to keep my expectations realistic.

My guess is that it could be something else Jentry-related.
Maybe they’re going to show a lot of unreleased concept art, early character designs, stuff from the original pitch bible, deleted ideas, or things that changed while the show was being developed.

But I also keep wondering if it could involve something bigger like a graphic novel or an art book.

There was apparently a three-book graphic novel deal connected to the Jentry IP at one point, so that possibility especially has me curious.

Or honestly, “HIGHLY” could just mean they have some really cool behind-the-scenes material planned and want Jentry fans there.

I’m definitely not taking it as “Season 2 confirmed.” I just feel like there might be something about this panel beyond a normal making-of presentation.

My personal guesses right now are:
• unreleased development/pitch material
• a graphic novel update
• some kind of Jentry art book
• another Jentry-related project nobody knows about yet

I guess we’ll find out October 25.

There are honestly a lot of moments to choose from

Between her fights with Cheng, going into Diyu, taking on all kinds of demons, and everything she pulled off in the finale, what do you think was Jentry’s most badass moment in the entire show?
It can be a fight, a power moment, something brave she did, or even just a scene where you thought.

What’s your pick?

The show sometimes talks about Mogui like they’re a type of demon, which makes me wonder if the one we met was just one of many. Ed also calls Cheng a “Mogui king” at one point, so could there even be some kind of Mogui hierarchy?

Also, since the Mogui in the show kind of reminds me of a symbiote like Venom, it made me think about how Marvel’s symbiotes have Knull as their creator. If there really are multiple Mogui, could there be some ancient figure connected to their origin too? Maybe something inspired by Chinese mythology rather than literally being their “creator.” I’d honestly love to know where Mogui originally come from and whether there’s something even older or more powerful above them.

If there are more of them, what do you think a Mogui King or Queen would look like? Would they be older, much more powerful, smarter, or have completely different abilities?

What do you think?

Just a thought, but I find it interesting how Michael keeps seeing that possible future where Jentry changes her mind and they’re fighting demons together, and it gives him hope that she’ll let him back into her life.

But I don’t think he ever really asks if that’s the future Jentry actually wants.

It just feels like sometimes he gets so focused on the future he hopes for that he forgets to look at what Jentry wants in the present.
Just something I’ve been thinking about.

Something I noticed about Pantheon: it still doesn’t have a “Leaving Soon” or “Last day to watch” notice on Netflix.
I know there’s been speculation about when Netflix’s license for the show could expire, and that doesn’t necessarily mean anything has changed since Netflix usually doesn’t put up those notices until much closer to the actual removal date.

Still, I’m curious what happens with Pantheon going forward, especially now that Netflix has both seasons and introduced the show to a much bigger audience.
Has anyone else been keeping an eye on this?

Since fall is here, I was randomly wondering what Jentry would actually like doing during the season when she isn’t dealing with demons and the Underworld lol.
The show already has Spirit Week and Homecoming, so we do get a little bit of that fall high-school atmosphere.

I could see her doing stuff like going to fall festivals with her friends, watching horror movies or anime, getting seasonal food or drinks, wandering around town when the weather cools down, or going to a haunted house and being completely unimpressed because she’s dealt with actual ghosts and demons.
What fall activities do you think would fit Jentry? Any headcanons?
