That had one hell of a final scene!

I’m only three episodes into season 3, but I’m enjoying it very much. The second and third episodes, in particular, are both hoots. The voice acting is great, and the style of animation really fits the material. I know there’s a bunch of negative comments out there on this season, but as yet, I don’t see it. David Harbour and Kathryn Hahn, in particular, have elevated the material.

I have watched 5 episodes so far and am also enjoying it.

Just watched the final two episodes. Another good season. They say that it is the final season and while they do come to a fitting end of the storyline that ran through these 3 seasons, I'd really like to see more in some form.

Here is a link to the behind the scenes article on the Marvel site.

I finished the season last night, and I enjoyed it. The one with Shang-Chi and Kate Bishop in the old West was a hoot, and the ending two-parter was appropriately cosmic (nice touch getting the same woman from X-Men '97 to voice Storm).

The show as a whole played into the multiverse theme. I recall Marvel's original title being more like The Twilight Zone -- it would take an event you knew (say, Spider-Man's uncle's murder) and turn it on its head, often with an unexpected and sad or chilling ending. The animated show definitely does not have that.

Perhaps once the Multiverse Saga is over, Marvel could revisit this series and make it more Twilight Zone-esque. But that's just wishful thinking.

Yes, in just about every issue of the original comic, the original story had the "better" ending. It was quite interesting, but I think it wouldn't have worked well as a TV series. Having a sequence of downbeat shows one after another would get tiresome. They had a few like that here, but most were just different intriguing paths.
