I remember they aired the pilot (to encourage viewers to subscribe to CBS All Access), but had forgotten that they later aired the entire first season.
Likely. Paramount has already started running 1883 on their eponymous cable network (with the first two episodes also airing on other Paramount-owned cable networks like MTV and TV Land). And there's Disney running the first two seasons of Reservation Dogs on FX proper (as opposed to "FX on...
I assume that it's intended as prep for the release of The Marvels, but I'm also wondering if it might also be a sign that Disney may be testing the waters for airing some other Disney+ originals on ABC. Especially given that the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes are wrecking havoc on the fall network...
I'm surprised that I didn't see this until late yesterday, but at the NY Comic Con last weekend, the Harvey Awards (named after Harvey Kurtzman, the creator of MAD Magazine, and one of the people behind EC Comics) were announced. One of the categories was "Best Adaptation from Comic Book/Graphic...
OK, so my wife and I finally managed to scrape up the time to watch this...
Absolutely stupendous! By far my favorite Marvel TV show.
It wasn't perfect -- I get from the interviews with Bisha Ali that a lot of material was dropped because Covid wreaked havoc with the time they had to get the...
Well, back in the day, comics readers wondered why, when Galactus first showed up on Earth in Fantastic Four threatening to eat the Earth, the Avengers didn't show up to help deal with him. The editorial answer was basically, "We just have to assume that they're busy with their own Omnipotent...
Fair point. But I think it can be reasonably argued that the characters have other things on their minds at the time. It strikes me as more important for the viewers that these things get mentioned than for the characters. OK, so it might've been amusing if, when Peter goes to Dr. Strange to ask...
I suppose it would depend on what the general public's understanding of the event is. To the Eternals, it's a Celestial rising out of the ocean. To the rest of the world, it's just a odd-looking rock formation. Scientists around the globe would be losin' their shit. For everyone else, it's...
It just occurred to me that if the triggering event was an unforeseen consequence of The Blip, then that would suggest that mutants might be popping up all across the universe, not just on Earth. I'm not sure if that would be a Good Thing or a Bad Thing for the MCU to get into.
At least Josh's...
It would be a radical reinvention to remove Magneto from the Holocaust, but no more of one than removing Nick Fury from WW2 and giving his Howling Commandos to Captain America. Fury was the protagonist of a WW2 comic long before he became Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Though to your point, it was...
More likely the latter, though they've been in popular culture long before Dan Brown. Robert Anton Wilson wrote a delightfully bizarre trilogy about them back in the mid-70s:
Me, I was thinking it was in the Great Beyond. Didn't Cyber-Zola nuke the thing to rubble in Winter Soldier?
The wife and I loved this first episode. So much of it felt right out of the comics. Kamala's family, in particular, were perfectly cast. I don't recall Zoe being a Captain Marvel...
