6 Thoughts on the First Season of M.O.D.O.K.
As has been the case for some time now, we are living in a golden age of superhero entertainment. So much so that geeky fans like me can pick and choose which superhero stuff they watch and still enjoy a lot of it. And so much so that there now exists an animated cartoon comedy about M.O.D.O.K. This show exists. It’s real. And I watched it all in a weekend and loved it!
TV Rating: 9/10 – Great.
Announced only two years ago as part of some insane lineup of Marvel cartoons, M.O.D.O.K. is the only one that made it to air. No one will ever known exactly what the Tigra/Dazzler show was going to be like, but we can now safely say that M.O.D.O.K. is awesome! Driven by the wit and voice talents of comedian Patton Oswalt, M.O.D.O.K. is a darn fun show and can easily hold its giant head high in today’s wild TV landscape. This is a quality show.
Join me after the jump for my review and thoughts on the M.O.D.O.K. TV show, now available for streaming on Hulu. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the show. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments.

This has been known for a while now, but wasn’t as confirmed as I usually like when I write about superhero movie casting. But now Marvel Studios has confirmed that Oscar Isaac will be Moon Knight in the upcoming TV show!
And great! I like Isaac. I like Moon Knight. And the character has gone through a lot of modern revisions that make him especially cool. So I have high hopes for this series. And that’s about it. I think the show is in pre-production right now. It’s a year or two out from our TV screens. But I have total faith in this casting and this show.

How About Some Rick and Morty Trailer?
Another Monday is here and we’ve got another trailer for the upcoming season of Rick and Morty. I mean, why not? We all love Rick and Morty. It comes out in a month. And it looks pretty fun!
I like Rick and Morty as much as the next person and the glimpses at the new season look great. What else is there to know? What else is there to talk about? They announced the other day that The Vindicators are going to get a spin-off show. That’s neat…except they’re all dead. So…huh?
Look, I gotta head out of town for work this morning and just wanted an easy share. I’ve got something a lot more fun — and tasty! — to post tomorrow! Just you wait!
Rick and Morty returns on June 20!

A Tiny Look at Loki
The Loki TV show is less than three weeks away and we’re all excited. It’s gonna be a fun show. How do I know? Check out this other trailer! It’s a quick one.
I think there are going to be a lot of surprises in Loki. Storylines, characters, twists; this show is going to be a lot! I also anticipate that it’s going to be very good. I have enjoyed WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, so I am more than ready for more Marvel TV shows!
Here’s Tom Hiddleston hyping it up even more.
I hope he’s excited for this show. I hope it’s a major hit!
Loki arrives on Disney+ on June 9.

Sweet Tooth is Gonna Be A TV Show
We all have dreams. Goals, perhaps. Me personally, I want to be a fiction writer. I’ve wanted to be a fiction writer since I was a young boy. These days, that dream is kind of focused around writing comics. Perhaps you’ve heard me mention Gamer Girl & Vixen before?
But here’s the thing, I kind of suck at making fiction writing happen. I’m just not doing it. I still have the dreams…but man…I dunno. Anyway, all of this is leading up to the trailer for the Sweet Tooth TV show coming out next month on Netflix.
Sweet Tooth is a comic written by Jeff Lemire for DC’s Vertigo imprint. I don’t know Jeff Lemire, though I’m fairly certain I’ve enjoyed his work in the past. I don’t know what he’s made of or what his dreams are. But man, one of his comics has been turned into a TV show for Netflix. As did Mark Millar’s Jupiter’s Legacy this past week. I haven’t read either comic or watched either show, yet. But let’s add that to the dream pile.
Someday I’m gonna write something that’s so awesome it gets optioned for a TV show on Netflix. Hopefully I don’t miss the golden age of pitching shows to Netflix with all my wanton laziness.
Sweet Tooth comes to streaming on June 4.
