I feel like most comic stuff with audio elements tends to avoid using the super hero name stuff a lot anyway. Many of them are just clunky to use in speech. The major exceptions being when it's also the character's name. But rarely does anyone say like "War Machine" or "Star Lord"

Does anyone call Tony "Iron Man" past Iron Man 2 maybe?

Yeah that's what I meant, they seemed to deliberately avoid the clunky "well what do we call you?" scene

Ah okay, wasn't entirely sure lol

Personally I always liked seeing how exactly they find a way to to give them their superhero name, especially if they actually find a clever way to do it

same but I imagine with Wanda that Tony or one of the other Avengers just said "you need a cool name like the rest of us"

If she learns atual sorcery on this show, it will be so cool.
I'd put money on a Benedict Cumberbatch cameo in the final episode (post-credits scene?) to set up MoM

I disagree. I think the MCU does this often and it's one of the things I enjoy about it; they're not ashamed to call the guy with the bow Hawkeye, or to call Cap Cap.

My hype for this show is out of control. The visuals look incredible, The humor seems on point (the clips have made me laugh out loud). It just seems like they are really nailing the sitcoms while also providing an interesting mystery

The biggest thing I'm excited for is the possibility of getting my favorite marvel character Wiccan into the MCU. It seems pretty likely now and I never thought Disney/Marvel would do it.

Heard through the grapevine from somebody who saw screeners. Their impression was, "sitcom fans will love it, not so sure about Marvel fans," but that overall the first few episodes are great.

The Virtual Launch Event starts in 2 hours.

Probably accurate for the first three episodes, but for the show? Nah. You'll get all the Marvel you want and more from this show.

Sorry if it's already been asked. Do we know how many episodes and if it's gonna be weekly drops?
It's gonna be 9 episodes, weekly.

This Friday there are two premiering of around 30 minutes.
Next week's third episode is also 30 minutes.
Three of the next episodes (I think one in the middle, and the two finale eps) are 45 minutes.

I love Teyonah's energy whenever we see her.

Good to see Kat Dennings and Randall Park on the zoom!

New tv spot at the end of that Launch Event. Couldn't help but notice the last shot is from episode 3 and Wanda is readying herself to attack someone/something. That's the 70s episode coming out next week, the one reviewers says is peeling off the layer even more than the first two episodes.

**Endgame spoilers I guess**. Ok so is Vision is dead dead? Did Hulk's snap bring him back? Why would it bring him back and not Red Widow? Is this set before Endgame?

I have a personal speculation that the town and/or vision is actually not created by wanda but is actually created by shuma gorath. Also that vision himself may be shuma gorath.

edit:

It is after endgame. Vision is still dead. It has yet to be revealed how vision is in the show.

The new tv spot that aired after the Launch Event.




I'm slowly losing hope of Mephisto being in this, dunno why, but you never know.
