CB: Marvel's Jessica Jones has a New York Comic Con panel coming up tomorrow, and they're starting to really promote the series.
Not least of all, they've had a lot of marketing both viral and overt at the New York Comic Con. Posters have been handed out at the Marvel booth, a number of Jessica Jones-skinned Uber vans are traveling New York streets and a viral campaign featuring at least two (and we've been told there's a third) pieces of street art is popping up near the Javits Center in Manhattan.
Marvel’s merry mutants are back in all-new, all-different (not really) animated adventures on Disney Plus. A direct continuation of X-Men: The Animated Series, which ran from 1992 to 1997, X-Men ‘97 features a similar art style and most of the same voice actors from the original. The new series borrows heavily from dozens of X-Men comic books, with some original flourishes sprinkled on top and many events chronologically rearranged. In some ways, the series works as a quick and convenient way to enjoy multiple comic-book arcs in 30 minutes. In others, it feels like a nostalgia play that lacks depth and nuance.
To dissect and discuss the first season of X-Men ‘97, RPadTV host Raymond Padilla enlisted the help of Turtle Beach’s MacLean Marshall and PaulSemel.com’s Paul Semel. This episode will mainly be Mac and Raymond talking about what they liked and disliked about the show, with Paul commenting as the curmudgeon that disliked the first episode so much that he couldn’t stand to watch another.
Raymond and Mac will discuss the plot points, changes, performances, problems, and CliffsNotes-ification of the comics in X-Men ‘97. Paul will chime in and (hopefully) explain how he could make it through the wretched Green Lantern movie, but couldn’t watch a sometimes entertaining X-Men cartoon.
The Big Cigar Review: This show is an entertaining and intriguing watch that is thrilling in the right doses.
Baahubali: Crown of Blood Review: This animated series has nothing to offer and makes you question why it was made at all!
Oh man, this is gonna be one messed up Marvel show.
