I thought this was confirmed already, Jordan Blum says M.O.D.O.K. isn't set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (it's designation seems to be Earth-1226).

I thought this was confirmed already, Jordan Blum says M.O.D.O.K. isn't set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (it's designation seems to be Earth-1226).

I'd be surprised if anyone assumed it was set in the MCU .

Blum also commented on which characters they couldn't use on M.O.D.O.K..

Spoiler

Apparently, Stilt-Man and Paste Pot Pete

That's interesting, I wonder why. I suppose the first falls under Daredevil and no Daredevil characters have appeared in TV animation in decades now for whatever reason, but the second probably falls under Fantastic Four and they've finally been slowly phasing them back featuring heavily recently in the newest of those Superhero Adventures shorts.

 

[RoyalRubble]

It's kind of weird hearing about these characters being off-limits, possibly due to rights issues, when the show will apparently feature some X-Men related characters (like Mister Sinister).

Another interview with Patton Oswalt.

EDIT:
Minor but Blum also comments on Hit-Monkey.

 

[M.O.D.O.K.]

I wonder if Hit-Monkey will also have the same animation that MODOK has or if it will have its own thing.

 

[Frontier]

I keep forgetting they're still making Hit-Monkey .

Another interview with Jordan Blum. Possible Spoilers.

Season 2 of M.O.D.O.K. - if there will be one - would feature even more X-Men characters.

Sounds like it was a lot of fun for a genuine fan to get to make their own Marvel show .

Looks like a Marvel cartoon that finally realized they could raise the envelope like DC does .

05/19:
The Hollywood Reporter also posted their M.O.D.O.K. review.

05/20:
Just a quick note, the Season One Talkback for M.O.D.O.K. will be posted in a few minutes. The topic will also be pinned at the top of the forum over the weekend. Since this is basically the first time an entire season of episodes for a Marvel cartoon is released at once, it would probably be easier for users to find the thread and discuss the new show.

I wonder in what format they'll take...

It's still surreal that Hit-Monkey got further along than Deadpool or Howard the Duck, but it would be interesting if we could get more animation at services like Hulu.

[M.O.D.O.K.]

Character designer Jules Premus confirms in this video (around 2:10) that he worked on Hit-Monkey. He also confirmed that the show is being animated by Floyd County Productions. I believe they were announced to be working on a Marvel series, but we didn't know which one it was.

Kind of curious what the art style will be like, then...

Maybe something closer to Archer? I would hope something a bit more stylized, though.

That was my first thought as well, but their website shows it's not their only style...

I didn't know they were still doing a Marvel show after Deadpool was shelved but this should be interesting to see how it goes.

EW has a first look at Hit Monkey. Premieres on November 17.

Revenge can be sweet — and sometimes fuzzy. Based on the Marvel comic and created by Josh Gordon and Will Speck, this darkly comedic series follows a Japanese snow macaque whose clan meets a stranded hitman, Bryce (Jason Sudeikis), and nurses him back to health. But when Bryce bites the dust, it's up to the titular simian (guided by Bryce's ghost) to follow in his assassin footsteps and seek vengeance. "He's a character who is violent and temper amental but also deeply wounded and innocent," says Gordon. —Devan Coggan
