Been thinking for a while to have a thread specifically for all of Marvel's animated projects in the past, present, and future.

Not every Marvel animated topic will have a sustainable thread, especially in the What Could Have Been territory, so this will also serve that niche.

Specific threads:

To kick things off, it seems like Marvel's Hulu projects are winding down with the cancellation of M.O.D.O.K. (2021).

As reported by Variety:

Oswalt and Jordan Blum created the series and also served as executive producers. Brett Cawley, Robert Maitia, Grant Gish, Joe Quesada, Karim Zreik and Jeph Loeb also served as executive producers. Stoopid Buddy Stoodios provided the animation.

“M.O.D.O.K” was originally one of four Marvel animated shows that were set up at Hulu. The others were “Hit-Monkey,” “Howard the Duck,” and “Tigra and Dazzler.” They were produced by Loeb’s now defunct Marvel Television unit. The plan was to launch all four shows and then have them crossover in an event series known as “The Offenders.”

But two of the four — “Howard the Duck” and “Tigra and Dazzler” — were scrapped before ever making it to air, while “Hit-Monkey” aired one season thus far in November 2021 with no word on a second. It is not expected to return The shows in part fell victim to the end of Marvel Television as Kevin Feige’s Marvel Studios took over television production on all Marvel projects. They have since successfully launched Disney+ shows like “Wanda Vision,” “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier,” “Loki,” and most recently “Moon Knight.”

Wait. If Abomination became a zombie...guess the Hulk didn't survive against Wanda.

Looks like we got a still of the Zombies series. Seems we've got the Red Guardian and that dude whose name I've already forgotten from Shang-Chi involved in this show.

Also, what the hell is Jimmy Woo wearing???

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fys2lbaxoaajkqa.jpg Variety's summary:

One of the standout episode of “What If…?”Season 1 introduced a universe overrun by undead, super-powered Avengers, which leads directly to the spinoff “Marvel Zombies.” The first look of the series included zombie versions of Hawkeye, a cut-in-half Captain America, Abomination, Ghost from “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch, Okoye from “Black Panther” and Ikaris from “Eternals.” The human heroes taking on the zombie horde include Yelena Belova, Awkwafina’s Katy from “Shang-Chi,” Kate Bishop from “Hawkeye,” Red Guardian from “Black Widow,” Jimmy Woo from “Wanda Vision,” Death Dealer from “Shang-Chi,” plus Shang-Chi himself and Ms. Marvel.

There’s also a team of Widows from “Black Widow” and a biker gang of Skrulls from “Captain Marvel,” all decked out in post-apocalyptic looks. No release date for “Marvel Zombies” was given. The “Marvel Zombies” panelists also promised that the show isn’t going to shy away from the gore and grossness of the classic “Marvel Zombies” comic series.

Huh. Okay. Curious where this could end up going. I do love the Skrulls too, so that's a bonus.

How is Ikarus a zombie though? Isn't he technically a robot?

[up] According to reporter Eric Goldman:

A messed up looking Ikaris shown - like half zombie, half human. As an Eternal, he can't fully become a zombie, but he's not quite right.

If they're willing to do TV-MA animated shows, i wonder if that raises the chances of an Immortal Hulk animated show.

Some additional and updates slides I found from New Rockstars' coverage. Kamala was missing in the initial group shot. The labelled Skrulls shot is actually for Zombies, going by Variety's summary above: https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20220722_205610.png https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_20220722_204544.png https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_20220722_204556.png https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20220722_205739.png

According to Deadline, Hit-Monkey has been renewed for Season Two.

Season two will follow Bryce and Monkey to New York City.

Olivia Munn will return to voice Akiko, the smart and ambitious niece of the future prime minister, while Jason Sudeikis will be back as Bryce, a world-weary assassin who has made poor life choices. Also returning to the series are Fred Tatasciore as Hit-Monkey — described as the killer of killers — and Ally Maki as Haruka, an honest cop from a small town.

Leslie Jones joining the cast this season but Hulu has yet to reveal her character.

Impressive save seeing as it's the only Marvel-Hulu project that managed to survive.

Appropriately, Marvel has officially uploaded the Avengers: EMH episode "The Man Who Stole Tomorrow".


Along with highlights of Ant-Man and the Wasp on Spidey and His Amazing Friends.

[up] Guessing they want to hype up Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

Although if they start uploading all off The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes to Youtube, I'd be down for that.

[up] Naturally. They have uploaded full episodes of the Marvel Universe block of shows, including EMH, in the recent past. Although, unlike other channels, they're usually timed and privated after they're done cross-promoting whatever current MCU project or holiday at the time.

"The Man in The Ant Hill" was also uploaded:

Pillar of Garbage, a YouTube essayist who's covered comic book adaptations like Avengers: EMH, recently did a video investigating the circumstances behind Wolverine and the X-Men's cancellation.

With help from two anonymous creative staff members, and a video interview with supervising producer Joshua Fine, Piller finds the show's cooproduction system might have been screwed from the beginning.

That was a cool video from a Youtuber I already enjoy. While I did know that they main reason that show was canned was due to funding issues, I nonetheless appreciated all the detective work he used to actually confirm that.

I honestly didn't even know there was a misconception that it was caused by the Marvel/Fox feud. It kind of reminded me of the blog post I did recently to uncover the TRUE reason Beware the Batman got canned.
