the Hulu cartoons are giving me Hellstrom vibes to where they were in production too far enough before Feige got creative control to get immediately axed, which makes me wonder just how much Marvel is genuinely willing to support them.

An unfortunate reality of the corporate world - tech, animation, anything - is that people who inherit others' projects often scuttle them for budget/resource reasons, which then get assigned to their own projects. Those projects - hopefully successful - then become part of their resumes. This is (basically) what inspired the cancellation of AEMH in favor of Avengers Assemble.

Well, they're releasing a tie-in comic focused on MODOK...
A very minor update, but ABC News mentions that Hit-Monkey is still in the works.
Seems like we keep forgetting about that one because we've heard so little about it :sweat:.

Well, the most recent report prior to this (from December 2020) mentioned MODOK and Hit-Monkey are all that remains from Jeph Loeb's Marvel/Hulu projects. I thought that would be enough confirmation both shows will be produced and released.

03/11:
Looking through the WonderCon schedule, there's a Q&A session with the cast and crew of M.O.D.O.K. listed for March 27 at 12:00 pm PT.

03/27:
Here's the WonderCon panel for M.O.D.O.K..


Also an article on Marvel.com with some more character designs and additions to the cast.

So, just to recap, the new guest-stars announced are Nathan Fillion as Wonder Man, Whoopi Goldberg as Poundcakes, Bill Hader as both the Leader and Angar the Screamer, and Jon Hamm as Iron Man. Sounds like a pretty solid cast to me.

Jon Hamm as Iron Man is pretty inspired, I'm not gonna lie :p.

And hey, Nathan Fillion gets to actually play Simon Williams! As Wonder Man, to boot ;).

Kind of curious what Bill Hader's Leader will sound like...

It's a shame the Howard show won't be happening, that was the one I was looking forward to most- it's especially becoming more of a bummer seeing how different and higher the levels of production are for the MODOK show. That's exciting and fun and I wish we'd get more lol.

Same. I'm gutted that said shows were scrapped as a result of Marvel Television's folding.

I think this is the rumor that was recently brought up in the "Future of Marvel Animation" topic. I'm kind of skeptical myself, don't know how accurate the source is but the Deadline article they included in the article doesn't mention anything about Deadpool.

Minor but here's a new poster for M.O.D.O.K..

So...has MODOK always had a big head and it just keeps growing in this continuity :sweat:?

Wonder Man is sleeping with MODOK's wife? Okay Simon :p.

Kind of sounds like Jon Hamm is doing a bit of an RDJ impression himself as Iron Man here...

Asgard! I wonder if that's where Valkyrie will show up :)?

Fin Fang Foom! Haven't seen him in a while :D.

Not all of Family Guy has aged well (and he knows this - hell, he's friends with the PTC president now) but I genuinely think Seth MacFarlane is a really good guy.

Imagine a broadcast TV network giving someone who worked at the Golden Age of Cartoon Network the opportunity to worked on a show, and doing 8 interviews, only to completely ghosted him for weeks for absolutely no reason.



Try to wrap your head around on that one, folks.

Seriously. Explain that to me, Memorable Entertainment Television? :/
Didn't notice that the site was back...

I'll start off by saying X-Men 97 has been a blast to watch. As someone who grew up exposed to the films and cameos on other shows, it was definitely a different treat seeing how both iterations of the franchise handle the characters and their world.
Professor X's speech in today's episode was powerful ... nuff said.
I've ground my wisdom tooth down overtime so that I can clench my jaw properly again. It's equal parts good and bad news.
Daffy Duck turns 87 today. Happy birthday to my favorite Looney Tune!
