Across the Omniverse

The wait is finally over and The Man Without Fear has fully returned to the MCU (after a cameo in  Spider-Man: No Way Home , of course). Was it worth the wait? Hell yes, and this might end up being the very best episode of She-Hulk thanks to this appearance. In fact, this episode might represent the whole thing coming together as it represents the platonic ideal of what this show can be. Before th...

Still no Daredevil, and we have to admit we like the show's moxie in holding him back this long.  Speaking of holding things back, we have a pretty long intro and news segment this week, wherein I drop some new info about the return of Henry Cavill to the DCEU, including the fact that WB is now developing a new  Superman  movie for him.  If you don't care about that, skip to 35:49 to get...

This week Jen Walters meets her greatest challenge yet: being a bridesmaid at the wedding of an old friend she has largely lost touch with.  She-Hulk  stops for a (kinda) one-shot episode featuring a B-story starring niche Marvel character Mr. Immortal.  Before all that Derek tells the tale of why this episode is late - he was locked out of his house! The whole saga is recounted here, as well as s...

Extreme David Bowie voice: Fashion!  This week on  She-Hulk  we get a glimpse inside the world of the MCU's version of Edna from  The Incredibles , Luke, a designer who does all the best superhero costumes. While Nikki and Our Beloved Pug find out how to get Jen an appointment with him, She-Hulk tussles with Titania in a court of law.  All this plus news and observations about the cost of piz...

We're dropping a bonus episode in the feed this week to cover all of the news coming out of D23 over the weekend. This episode is a crossover between two of our podcasts, The Bad Batch - about  Star Wars  TV shows - and Marvelvision (whose feed this is). Since there wasn't a ton of  Star Wars  news but there was a ton of Marvel stuff that would feel old by the time we recorded our next M...

Well well well, if it isn't the absolute best episode of this show yet. A very funny, very fun  She-Hulk  finds Shulkie dealing with a douchebag magician and an angry Wong... and a delightful Madisynn. Also this episode: I have a pretty major scoop about Black Adam and the future of the DC movie universe, and it's so major I'm not sure if it' a spoiler, so if you' don&apos...

Can you believe She-Hulk TWERKED??? This is the meteor that has crashed into online discourse this week, and it's the dumbest thing ever. It's a mid-credits joke! And a funny one! In a very funny episode! In fact this week's  She-Hulk  feels like the show finding its footing as a lawyer/superhero comedy, and it's jam-packed with jokes  and  MCU references. In fact, this episode...

This episode we get spicy. It's been a minute since we've had an argument where I come off like a real dick, but I went above and beyond this week. It's such an argument that the intro stretches on for AN HOUR, so if you don't want to hear two grown men bicker about studio politics feel free to skip to 58:23. Warning: you will miss me simping hard for Kevin Feige. If you skip t...

It's a new show! We're here to talk about the first episode of  She-Hulk: Attorney-at-Law,  billed as the first sitcom in the MCU. But is it all that much funnier than a normal MCU thing? Based on a character who was invented just to avoid someone else having rights to a female Hulk, a character who has become one of the most interesting and fourth-wall breaking characters in Marvel Comi...

This week we're talking about Netflix's 10 episode adaptation of the DC/Vertigo comic book series  Sandman , by Neil Gaiman and a variety of artists (co-created by Sam Keith). This series is sometimes stunningly faithful to the comic, but there are some changes - some subtle, some aesthetic - that stick in our craws.  We also talk about my tragic history of shoplifting, some comic book m...

This week we go a little long. First we talk about what's happening at Warner Bros Discovery, and in the process almost certainly show how little we know about business. We are not business men! We talk about the cancelation of  Batgirl , the plan to have a ten year plan for DC movies, and more. Then we do an hour on  The Boys,  Amazon Prime's superhero show. I was resistant to watching,...

Marvel and DC came to SDCC and gave us a bounty of new information... well, Marvel did anyway. Things are a little less fulsome on the DC side, but does that mean an unannounced Fandome is in our future? Marvel gave us all of Phase Five, a look at the cornerstones of Phase Six AND the name of this three Phase cycle: The Multiverse Saga. We go long on all of these movies, what they could be, what i...

With all the 'end of the world' stakes behind us,  Ms. Marvel  closes out its season with something much more personal. This week we get some information that presages a HUGE change in the MCU, we get a cameo we all expected, and we get some very sweet and emotional moments with the Khan family.  Before we talk about that we discuss all kinds of news and stuff, but you can jump to 31:10...

This week we go really off topic in the intro, talking about everything from haunted houses on TikTok to a lengthy discussion of Amazon Prime's  The Boys , as well as a whole bunch of superhero TV and movie news. If none of that interests you, jump right to 37:45 to get to the meat of the episode.  This week Kamala continues her time travel as we get to know her great-grandparents and the sho...

COVID can't keep a good podcast down, and it can't keep this one down either! This week's  Ms. Marvel  takes a field trip to Pakistan, introduces a new ancient secret society... and possibly leave the door for Ms. Marvel to be an Inhuman after all? But what about the costume? Is it taking too long to come together, or is the build-up right? And is the prison breakout as bad as we th...

This is a crummy day. I feel dumb even uploading this episode today, it's such a crummy day. But the show must go on, and while I hope that you are getting ready for the long fight ahead of us to reclaim bodily autonomy for women, I suspect everybody could use a little distraction from the pain for a bit. Hopefully this episode of Marvelvision can be that for you.  This week we talk about the...

Is it possible that  Ms. Marvel   is the best MCU TV show? Two episodes in and the answer so far is yes - but can it keep it up once the plot kicks in? This week we talk about the episode where Kamala Khan takes her first major step as a superhero, a step clearly influenced by the 1978  Superman . This is the kind of heroism that the MCU has been sorely missing, and it's great to see it here....

If you listen to our other weekly podcast, The Bad Batch, you know we've been having a hard time with  Obi-Wan Kenobi . It's not very good! Which makes the debut of  Ms. Marvel  all the more wonderful for us - finally something to enjoy on Wednesdays! This show explodes the "Marvel style" and feels fresh, unique and fun. We love the first episode and have high hopes for what&ap...

Before Affleck. Before Cox. There was... Rex Smith! Broadway legend, singing star, four times wed, and the first person to play a live action Daredevil. And his suit is pretty much the same bad one as the first season Netflix suit! David Bruce Banner has been on the run for eleven years, and in this 1989 TV movie he comes to The City, where he gets mixed up in the battle between Daredevil and Wils...

It's the second of the two 1979 DC superheroes live action specials and this one is... better? Less painful? At least that's what Devin feels - Derek found this one sapping his very will to live.  In a premise as nonsensical as the jokes,  The Roast  h as Ed McMahan presiding over a roast of the Superfriends - a roast that includes their greatest villains, who show up to do stuff like pl...

With no new Marvel shows this week we have pivoted to covering other live action superhero stuff, and for some ungodly reason we chose  Legends of the Superheroes , two live action DC Comics specials from network TV in 1979. Featuring the return of Adam West, Burt Ward and Frank Gorshin to their  Batman  roles, this first special,  The Challenge , is a stunningly inane and unfunny hour that also h...

The finale is here! Does  Moon Knight  make it all work? Is there room for a second season? Did they introduce a new superhero who can show up in team-ups  instead  of Oscar Isaac? Plus: Marvel news! The usual digressions! Skip to 27:24 if you don't care about that stuff. But if you do: we love you.  This show will NOT be going dark until  Ms. Marvel . We're gonna talk about some stuff t...

This week  Moon Knight  heads into the endgame with a... clip show?!? Well, not a clip show but a solidly surreal flashback episode that fills in a lot of the gaps in Moon Knight's history and the origin of Marc Spector's split personality. First we have a bunch of news to go through, including the sad loss of the great Neal Adams. While discussing this we recount an Adams story but get...

Are ya ready to bust some tombs? This episode of  Moon Knight  takes us deep into adventure archeology, one of the great genres and one we see all too rarely. Then it takes a hard left in the final minutes, giving us some surreality we were not expecting. And all of this without a single appearance of Moon Knight! In the intro we hit the latest comic book movie news, including the continued plight...

This week we have some questions, including why is that guy tugging on Moon Knight's cape and why is Marc Spector asking rando guys in the street about the location of a sarcophagus? And isn't there a website that will let you look at what the stars were like in the past? But don't take these questions for complaints;  Moon Knight  episode three continues the show's streak of f...
