The 6 Funkiest Knock-Off M.O.D.O.K.s
Against all odds, the M.O.D.O.K. TV show arrives on Hulu this week! The only survivor of that wave of wacky Hulu shows Marvel TV announced a couple years ago, M.O.D.O.K. looks to be a fun and super-weird family comedy starring Patton Oswalt. It all sounds great to me! And to celebrate, we’re gonna look at some funky M.O.D.O.K.s!
M.O.D.O.K. stands for “Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing”. He’s been around since the late 1960s, a creation of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. And as you can see, he’s this giant head dude in a mechanized chair! Heck, he was the big bad villain in that recent failed Avengers video game. The dude has chops. He’s put in the work over the decades. And a new TV show starring him as a suburban dad sounds like the apex of his career!
Over the years, there have been a ton of knock-off M.O.D.O.K.s in comics. With an acronym for a name, it’s easy to come up with knock-offs. And we’re going to take a look at the best ones! Join me after the jump for some M.O.D.O.K. madness!

Against all odds, the MODOK cartoon show is coming to Hulu very soon! Patton Oswalt’s take on the big-headed villain is the only show to survive that weird lineup of announced Marvel cartoons from a couple years ago. Could any of them have been good? Who knows! But MODOK does look legitimately funny.
I’m a big Patton Oswalt fan, as I assume most people are. And yeah, this looks good. Some funny jokes. Some cool guest appearances. A solid concept. I’ve seen a clip or two here or there and it looks great! Here’s hoping its even a fraction as hilarious as the Harley Quinn cartoon.
MODOK arrives on Hulu on Ma 21!

The MODOK TV Show is Coming in May!
Once upon a time, Marvel announced a whole lineup of weird and eclectic shows for Hulu. Remember the Dazzler/Tigra show? Or Hit Monkey? What a time to be alive. Anyway, the only one that’s still standing is a Patton Oswalt-driven MODOK show! And here’s a new trailer!
This could be good. This could be funny. I’m a huge Patton Oswalt fan, so that’s a plus. The animation looks really fun, and I like some of the humor. Cartoons are brilliant these days. If this show is a fraction as fun as Harley Quinn, it would be special. So I’m going to get my hopes up and hope this MODOK show is worthwhile.
MODOK comes to Hulu on May 21.

I’m Just Gonna Make This Patton Oswalt Week
Comedian Patton Oswalt made my List of Six this week of my favorite stand-up comedians, and that just so happens to coincide with Patton’s appearance on Screen Junkies talking about his Dream Sequel to Unbreakable. So I’ve decided to share the video and make this an unofficial Patton Oswalt Week!
I don’t know if I’ve ever played the Dream Sequel game. I know a few movies that should have sequels, but I don’t think I’ve ever planned out any of them in my mind. It sounds like an awesome game. And I trust Patton Oswalt’s taste in geeky ideas. This was a fun video, especially since I’m a huge Unbreakable fan. That movie is awesome.

So This Happened, and the Internet Giggled at Itself
Remember Patton Oswalt’s awesome Star Wars/Avengers/Wrath of the Titans movie mash-up? The Internet sure does.
Good times. I say this a lot, but it bears repeating: I love the Internet. Posted by iZacLess.
