Watched the first two episodes last night and I'm enjoying it so far. It's not exactly Robot Chicken: Marvel, the structure is closer to a standard half-hour animated comedy, but the way the characters move and speak is still very recognizable as a Stoopid Buddy production. I'll keep watching it for sure.
Worth it so far for the one joke that had me laughing hard
Overall I'm enjoying it, almost done with it.

This show is much better than it has any right to be. I'm about 6 episodes in at this point and it's a solid sitcom with some really good bits. The first two episodes are kinda nothing, but they do a lot of the heavy lifting introducing the "rules of the world" so to speak. It's cool that there are like four major plotlines running through the series of essentially disconnected premises with:
And I have a feeling all of those plotlines are going to come together in one convergence point - which if I'm right - should be hilarious. Anyway, I'd be super down for a season 2.
1. Divorce
2. The Grumble Evil alien thing
3. Luis' Bar Mitzvah
4. Past MODOK

Well just finished it and man, now I REALLY want a Season 2 and hope it's not one and done just because the old TV execs are gone / under control by Feige.
Also Jordon Blum's X-men cred really shines in this. It's still kinda surreal to be seeing X-men lore integrated into Marvel again.
This is such a bullshit take that's a discredit to the show's writing and performances. Might as well say "It's just Marvel Robot Chicken".

I'm really curious about this myself. Hulu I think just doesn't care and does whole dumps while Star probably believes weekly drops will be better ratings or something. I remember when New Animaniacs dropped people were saying the Halloween special would've landed around October IF they had done weekly drops.
Watched the first episode on IGN's YouTube page, didn't find it funny, unfortunately. Don't have Hulu in my country and based on the first episode, I don't think it's worth a VPN to watch.
It's on Disney+ outside the US, fyi, they're just doing single episodes at a time.
I think the first two episodes are a little off. But as it went on, it definitely got better. So it was probably a case of establishing everything and figuring out what worked and what didn't.
It's not bad, and I'd be fine with a Season 2. I wouldn't put it as one of my favorite shows, but it's enjoyable enough and it does have more heart to it than you'd expect.

Well I sure hope it gets a second season that's for sure. Finished it up today and should've seen the season end coming but when it happened I was like nooo.
Pretty enjoyable though, I dug it even if it didn't always land. I'll always be there for for wacky animated superhero hijinks that don't take themselves seriously though.

Marvel's Animated Hit-Monkey 'Looks Amazing,' Says MODOK Writer
M.O.D.O.K. showrunner Jordan Blum says Marvel and Hulu's animated Hit-Monkey series is still being made, and it "looks amazing" so far.

Huh, count me in the crowd that thought that was quietly cancelled. Interesting.Marvel's Animated Hit-Monkey 'Looks Amazing,' Says MODOK Writer

I really enjoyed this. It's got me to audibly chuckle surprisingly often, and there's a lot of cohesion to what's going on with layered callbacks.
The weakest episode for me is the last one unfortunately. It has a tacked on feeling since everything feels resolved in the penultimate episode, then the last one both spins its wheels and crams in exposition simultaneously.

Cool behind the scenes doc. Man, with how they're pushing it and not just quietly dumping it on the service gives me hope for a S2!

I'm working my way through it, but I find it much better then I originally anticipated. Some real laugh out loud moments.
That damn goat got me multiple times

Wow, was not expecting that ballsy ending. I'm surprised how funny and great it was! The balancing of sitcom elements and serialized storytelling was also a highlight. Cant wait for season 2!
I really hope this show gets a Season 2 only because we need to maintain Marvel content outside of the MCU.
But also serialized story telling, characterization, and not a series of 2 minute shorts.
As much I wanted this to work, it doesn't really hit the marks it should. I love the effort to reference some deep cut marvel stuff.
A lot of the jokes didn't land and they really didn't give any of the humor a chance to breathe. The rapid fire one liners just felt a little grating and MODOK himself just feels too dumb. It gets old to see so much of this show revolve around him getting dunked on.
It's weird, because I can normally enjoy Robot Chicken for the most part.

Some episodes were better than others. Overall, I liked it but thought it was forgettable since I watched it over a week ago but can't remember a whole lot about it.
Most of the humor with Lou didn't work for me but I did like Mel and Jodie. The ending was very cool and opens up a lot of opportunities were they to do a second season. I'm just not sure I'd stick around for it.

Yeah, it's kinda weird and so refreshing to see that. It was only about 8 years since the "Fox Ban" really clamped down on things but it feels like twice as long since we've seen classic Marvel portrayed on screen.
This show was good. Not great, but not bad either. Usually got a few chuckles out of each episode and I love the stop motion animation style. It's incredibly impressive the way they do it, so just on that level there was a lot to enjoy in watching it. The cast was pretty endearing and a lot of that was on the strength of the voice work.
The ending was pretty wild and sets up a second season really well. Only problem is that I am somewhat doubtful it'll get a second season. Which would make it a really dark note to go out on.

The way it ended with little chance of the show getting renewed is wild and may well be the cruelest joke done for a show in years.
I'm really NOT enjoying the first episode. This is my third attempt at trying to finish episode 1.
