The original plan on Disney+ was to run Falcon and the Winter Soldier as the first Marvel limited series, with Wandavision following it. Instead, delays occurred and Wanda was ready earlier, so it wound up going first. It appears to have been a wise decision in hindsight. Wandavision was a big hit, Falcon less so. […]
The Mandalorian was a success on every level, and is arguably the most significant Star Wars thing to be released in the last few years (consider that Episode 9 came out the same year Mando debuted, and the latter dominated conversation instead). The future of Star Wars is on television, at least for the present […]
Marvel’s WandaVision is (at least so far) a recreation of kitschy midcentury sitcoms starring Scarlet Witch and Vision from The Avengers movies. We’re told it’ll eventually go off in a wilder direction, but the first few episodes are pretty much a spot-on imitation of I Love Lucy mixed with Bewitched. To nail that feel, though, […]
First off, before you read any further, it should go without saying that this article contains spoilers for the ending of The Mandalorian’s second season. So if you haven’t seen the ending yet, I’m not quite sure what you’re doing on a page with a headline like this, but if you proceed we can’t be […]
When I was 3 years old, I use to confuse chip n dale rescue rangers with Alvin and the Chipmunk. Then I learned to differentiate the duo from the trio at age five. I have a lot of fond childhood memories of watching this show as a kindergartener. When I was six years old I […]
Disney announced some months back that a miniseries based around Obi-Wan Kenobi was in production. We knew Ewan McGregor would probably reprise the role; we just didn’t know if anybody else would. Today, Lucasfilm revealed they did it: they’ve landed Hayden Christensen back in the role of Obi-Wan’s former apprentice and current worst enemy. Hayden […]
In case you haven’t been keeping up, Disney and Marvel Studios have stated multiple times that WandaVision, the first of several miniseries directly connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, would be out before the end of 2020. We’ve in fact reported this news before. More recently they specified a December release. But as of today […]
Last year Marvel Studios announced they were finally looking into doing something with their modern hit comic book Ms. Marvel. Two things, in fact…the character would be introduced to the MCU with her own Disney+ series, and then graduate into movies. Now they’ve found the actress who will be putting on the mask and embiggening […]
Awhile back, Disney revealed they were looking into producing a She-Hulk TV series. We’ve heard nothing since, until this week when the casting news broke. Back in 1980, The Incredible Hulk had his own show. So did Wonder Woman, The Bionic Woman and other such powered-up crime fighters of post-70s television. At Marvel, Stan Lee […]
Yesterday we reported on the second season of The Mandalorian — the star attraction of the Disney+ service. Disney planned for it to have more than that, though. Had this been a typical year, the adventures of the galactic bounty hunter would have been accompanied by several shows set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, like […]
We are drifting ever so closer to the October 30 release date for The Mandalorian on Disney+, and as of today, we finally have a good look at what’s coming. From this viewpoint, it looks to be just as excellent as what came before it. Now reunited with The Child (aka “Baby Yoda”), Mando has […]
We should feel fortunate we’re getting Season 2 of The Mandalorian on schedule…filming wrapped just four days before Hollywood was put into lockdown due to the pandemic. While this did make the post-production process trickier, there was enough breathing room to make the deadline, and so we’re getting the continued adventures of Mando and The […]
