8 Takeaways from the Black Panther Episode of Fantastic Four

In the rush to make as many Marvel animated series as possible, a much-forgotten Fantastic Four series happened and even had two full seasons. One of the show’s 26 episodes devoted the entire story to The Black Panther. To the best of my knowledge (limited), it’s the first significant portrayal of the Black Panther on the small screen. Welcome to the latest edition of MARVELOUS ANIMATION.

11 Takeaways from the Pryde of the X-Men Pilot

This pilot was the first attempt by anyone to make a full-on X-Men television show. The episode is absolutely insane for reasons we will get into. This world was not ready for it though, and the pilot was tragically not picked up. Matt Waters and I discussed this project and other X-Men related cartoons! I just re-visited that piece, and my opinions on it have largely not changed. Welcome to the latest edition of MARVELOUS ANIMATION.

6 Thoughts on Quibi’s Roku’s The Fugitive

Quibi raised nearly $2 billion from investors. But it bombed so hard that Roku was able to buy their tape library for $100 million. Now, there can be no way that tape library is actually worth $100 million for Roku. How many people have a Roku television/setup and actually are like, “Let me watch some free programming on Roku!”?

With that said, Roku is now your destination for watching Kiefer Sutherland embracing his star persona once again and that is something I personally cannot pass up. Thus, you all get my big 6 takeaways from The Fugitive. Continue reading 6 Thoughts on Quibi’s Roku’s The Fugitive

Ranking the Superstore Seasons

Superstore has in a lot of ways flown under the radar over the course of its six seasons. Justin Spitzer basically joined The Office right before it fell off the cliff, and he seemingly learned a lot of good lessons from how to run a workplace show and not make many of the same mistakes (also copying paying homage to many of their stories).

Imagine how much less uncool it would be to like The Office if very few people watched it. That’s Superstore. Continue reading Ranking the Superstore Seasons
