You asked, we answered. This week on Marvelvision your hosts take audience questions and try to give them our best answers. We had folks submitting via text and folks calling in, and that makes this a kind of fun and new type of episode for us. The questions range from ones about the Marvel Cinematic Universe to ones about comic books to ones about us, as individual people. We got so many questions we couldn't answer them all, but we truly appreciate everyone who sent in a question, and we appre...

The best MCU Disney+ series ends its first season with a big fight, a big tree, and a big man. It's the big finale of Hawkeye and we go big talking about it. Also we go small: this episode I am locked in a closet recording, which leads to some nonsense like the mic being knocked over. Is it shaggy? You know it is. Merry Christmas to everyone listening. We're going to be coming back next week with a wrap-up episode talking about all things MCU and live action superhero, and we'll be taking questi...

What's the story with this show? Why is it so good? And why does it have to end next week? We're not ready to say goodbye... especially after the big reveal at the end of Ronin . Plus, this episode is going to do for box mac and cheese what The Avengers did for shawarma. We have limited news this week, at least partially because we are diligently avoiding spoilers for Spider-Man: No Way Home and trying not to cover too many of the news breaks coming out of that junket out of respect for you guys...

This week on Marvelvision we ask the important questions, like: Is Vera Farmiga actually playing The Kingpin? Is Hawkeye the best Marvel TV show so far? Wait, does Kate have the dog with her at her mom's house? Was a scene or Kate learning to pick locks cut from episode one? What the hell is Letitia Wright thinking? And more! We have a bit of lengthy intro this week, complete with a sidetrack into the history of Malibu Comics and its Ultraverse (which actually is Marvel related, believe it or no...

Spoiler alert: this week's Hawkeye is excellent . Really just a great time, and it offers a lot to discuss. Stuff like: wait, is that the Kingpin? Wow, why haven't any of the movies made Hawkeye's arrows this fun? And can you believe this one scene made Derek cry? In the intro we have some Marvel news, some of it very big! Spider-Man stays in the MCU for three more films, which might be spoilery for No Way Home but honestly we didn't need that weight on our shoulders in 2021. If you don't care a...

It's a new Marvel Cinematic Universe TV show! Hawkeye has debuted on Disney+ and we are here to tell you... it's pretty damn good! Is that a spoiler for our podcast? This episode we talk about whether Kate Bishop is a Chevy Chase or a Bill Murray or both, we marvel at some of the best writing in the MCU TVverse, we try and figure out when the MCU is, we try and figure out how long it would take a firefighter to go from a fire to posting an Instagram story and we dive into a couple of Easter Eggs...

We interrupt this hiatus to bring you a Marvel Studios news break! We're supposed to be back in a week to talk about Hawkeye , but there was a lot of news in the past few days, much of it coming from Disney+ Day, so we convened for this emergency ep. We needed to get all this news out of the way so that the first Hawkeye episode (which will cover two episodes of that show) isn't four hours long. So we got on the horn to talk about Disney+ Day's various reveals, to clumsily try and sneak around E...

We're between MCU shows so this week we deep back into ancient Marvel TV history with this spectacular superhero team-up TV movie that first aired in 1988. A reunion for the beloved The incredible Hulk series, The Incredible Hulk sees David Bruce Banner/The Hulk meet up with Thor and have little to no adventures and eventually become tangentially involved in some kind of heist thing. This episode we cover a bunch of Marvel news (we've been on hiatus a minute), including the latest Black Panther ...

Ol' Babyhead is pulling a Nick Fury and is bringing together characters we met all season (and also one we didn't meet yet, and Derek explains why that is) to fight the powered up Ultron from last episode. Was all the build up worth it? Does it pay off? Why don't the live action movies have action scenes like the ones on this show? It's the season finale of What If...? and we discuss the journey so far and also the action-packed episode in front of us. Plus: lots of news, including a vital Black...

This one's a little late because Devin had the temerity to take a vacation. Sorry about that! But we're back, and we're talking about such Marvel topics as Malignant and James Gunn's DC projects... but also stuff like The Eternals , Venom 2 's opening weekend and the pundits who declared theaters and superhero films dead, and how the Spider-Verse and the MCU might come together. If you don't want to hear all of that, skip to 36:44 where we start discussing the penultimate episode of What If...? ...

This episode gives us a switcheroo - not only is a comedy episode of What If...? , your hosts swap their usual positions in terms of liking the episode. But is even the best What If...? all that good? Is this Marvel's lowest point? Also: News! Are the X-Men getting a new name? Is it offensive that Chris Pratt is playing Mario? Does anyone else remember this Mario Cantone WWOR TV show from the late 80s? Probably not, but we'll blow a few minutes on it! Jump to 40:28 if you want to skip all the in...

Is this the best episode of What If...? or the worst? What about both? And is the very concept of What If...? flying over the heads of some people online? Before we get to the details about Killmonger saving Tony Stark's life in Afghanistan, we go on a very long diversion into Devin's recent eyeball issues. If you want to skip that, go to 16:40 to begin the news, including Denis Villeneueve shit-talking the MCU. If you don't want the eyeballs or the news (including the Hawkeye trailer), go to 37...

The MCU gets gory in the latest episode of What If...? , streaming directly next to Luca and Mary Poppins . It's wild! But is it good? This week your valiant hosts disagree, but that's half the fun. They also talk about Titans , which is not a Marvel Cinematic Universe property, they talk about the canceled New Warriors show, and they talk about how many jokes is too many jokes in an MCU thing. Wondering where all the Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings discussion is? It's on our superhero...

The alternate reality train keeps on going as the latest What If...? asks us "What if we remembered what Rachel McAdams was doing in the first Doctor Strange movie?" It's a big ask. This episode we got you some Marvel news, but also Devin recommends a Quibi show called Murder House Flip that is actually real even though it sounds like a joke. Yes, it's a show where they do makeovers of houses where murders happened. Skip to 19:46 to get past all this juicy excellence and go right to the discussi...

This week's episode of What If...? finally gets the deaths going, and it's in the service of a mystery: who's knocking off Earth's Mightiest Heroes? Is it a good one? We think so! The actual Marvelvision podcast is a bit loose this week. We have a dog interruption, Derek talks about why his water is not running, we go very long on the news, there's a new Spider-Man trailer to discuss, Devin once again tells his story about Mark Hamill confirming one of his most derided scoops and there's also a ...

So what do you even want out of a show called What If...? ? This is a driving element of this episode of Marvelvision as we debate what a show with this name and comic book legacy should be delivering. The latest episode of What If...? delivers a T'Challa focused story that also ends up being Chadwick Boseman's final (maybe? Could he be in more episodes?) performance as the Wakandan king. It's a very bittersweet thing, as the whole focus of the episode is on how good and noble the character - an...

Behold the multiverse! The latest Marvel TV show goes in very unexpected directions, both in terms of plot and style. It's the first animated show from Marvel Studios, and it's a show based on the wonderful comic book What If...? , which looked at important points in Marvel history and wondered what would happen if they went a little bit differently. But does it work? While Uatu the Watcher asks "What if?" we ask whether it's any good. The premiere episode gets some mixed marks from us. Before w...

Want to hear us talk about Black Widow ? Subscribe at the $5 or above level at www.patreon.com/CinemaSangha and listen to us talk about it for two hours and forty minutes! Here it is: the season finale of Loki , an episode that brings in a character who is at once very unexpected and also very expected. But is this the beginning of a new era for the MCU or the embodiment of all the complaints people have about MCU storytelling? The main discussion kicks in after 18:40, so if you don't want to he...

This one is a day late, but with good reason: Derek was literally in the dark! A blackout took him out of commission for a couple of days. Sorry about the delay. But better late than never? And even late we have a lot to talk about with this episode of Loki , including a laundry list of Easter Eggs, why the Void is so Loki-centric and whether or not other Marvel characters should have cameo'd, arguments for and against Kang the Conqueror being the Big Bad at the end of the show (or Immortus or s...

So here we are, recording this episode when suddenly a Shang-Chi trailer drops! We talk about that in the news segment up front, along with some other less than stellar Marvel news. Skip to about 25:00 if you don't want to hear that! Then it's on to the show! This episode of Loki is character-centric, and it may also be a Borderlands mission, depending on how you look at it. But whatever it is, it's the impetus for Devin and Derek to have a big argument over whether or not Loki and Sylvie are li...

Do you need a hero? Because we got one on Loki this week. On this latest episode of Marvelvision we talk about some Marvel news, including the way that Anthony Mackie put his foot right in his mouth when asked about a possible romantic relationship between The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. There's a reason he's an actor and not a writer of these shows. If you don't care about news or jokes just skip ahead to about 18:30 where we get into the meat of the episode. We talk about Ravonna Renslayer,...

It's a new show! Loki has debuted and... it rules? Owen Wilson rules, Eugene Cordero rules, the premise rules, Tom Hiddleston rules. Wait, this does not mean you need to skip this episode of Marvelvision! In fact this is why you should listen, so you can hear us pick apart everything that makes this the best episode of a Marvel TV show so far, from the relatively small Easter Eggs ( is this Peggy Carter? ) to the question of just how much Owen Wilson improvs to our theories about what the future...

It's a wrap on season one of MODOK ! This week there's some news, including photos of Mark Ruffalo in his Hulk costume on the set of She-Hulk (RIP the career of the lady who shared them to her Facebook). Click here if you want to see those pics yourself . We also leave the MCU briefly to talk about the failure of Jupiter's Legacy and about the weird metrics of streaming TV. Then it's on to MODOK , and whether or not the back half is as good as the first half, Wonder Man's hatred of the homeless,...

Surprise, we're back! After a couple of weeks away Marvelvision has returned. But no, it's not because Loki is debuting earlier than expected, it's because we're covering the first season of the stop motion comedy series MODOK , which is not set in the MCU but is full of deep, deep nerd cuts. The first 22:26 minutes of this episode are all about the news, including The Eternals trailer and the confirmation that yes, Oscar Isaac is playing Moon Knight. That means we have to talk about how weird i...

With The Falcon and the Winter Soldier all done we do a wrap-up of the series, as well as talk about the Assembled making-of doc that dropped on Disney+ last week. COVID, earthquakes and cut storylines make up the meat of that discussion. But before that: Marvel dropped a Phase Four trailer that included some intriguing new info. Black Panther 2 is officially called Black Panther: Wakanda Forever . Captain Marvel II is not even a Captain Marvel movie anymore... it's The Marvels ! The first Etern...

It's the finale of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and it's an action extravaganza. Everything is getting wrapped up, the Power Broker is revealed and a new Captain America arrives on the scene. So of course the episode begins with Devin sharing a macaroni and cheese recipe he really likes, and then there's a lot of Marvel Studios news - including the announcement of Captain America 4 - so that means the show discussion doesn't even get underway until around the 28 minute mark, but if you skip...

Should Ed Brubaker make money from The Winter Soldier? Is Avi Arad off the Spider-Man movies? Why does Derek believe the US government owns Captain America's shield? And just what was up with Julia Louise-Dreyfuss in this episode? This week Marvelvision tackles The Falcon and the Winter Soldier 's "Truth," the episode that opens with a guy getting his arm snapped but goes on to take a breather, gives us lots of time with the characters and allows Isaiah Bradley to finally share his Truth.
