Deadpool is back with Wolverine and just like the first Deadpool movie release, we're dropping this episode on Valentine's Day weekend baby. Comics writing legend Joe Casey (Uncanny X-Men, Kneel Before Zod) is back on the show to chat with me about his new Marvel Comics project Weapon X-Men. I've already gotten a sneak peek and it's amazing. I typical Casey fashion, we're thrown into a fast paced, no holds barred rescue narrative beautifully drawn by artist ChrisCross (Blood Syndicate, Captain Marvel) with the newly constructed team of Wolverine, Deadpool, Cable, Thunderbird, and Chamber. Can they all possibly get along? You'll have to wait and see but its an excellent reintroduction to Casey back at the helm writing Cable after decades away. Our talk covers what it's like being back at the big two, generational differences between readers and their introductions to Logan and Wade, where the Weapon X-Men title actually came from, the unique make up of its cast, how does Baron Strucker fit into all this, his return to Jonny Quest with the Jonny Quest/Space Ghost crossover with Dynamite, and much more. Joe has been sharing some incredible insights over on his Substack so make sure to head over there and join. It's FREE! Joe Casey Substack From the publisher WOLVERINE! DEADPOOL! CABLE! CHAMBER!

The critically acclaimed Disney Plus original series WandaVision is Marvel Studios; first foray into original programming of MCU content for television, after severing ties with Netflix. The series is loosely based on the popular X-Men comic series House of M, and it focuses on Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch after the events of Avengers Endgame. The series was praised for its narrative structure and set design. Let's dive into the trivia now!1. Agent Jimmy Woo's flick of the wrist trick to produce his ID like magic is a reference to his awe in Paul Rudd's character, Scott Lang's, magic tricks from the film Ant-Man and the Wasp.2. Up to 47 different modern camera lenses were used to depict the seven-time periods, which were in fact custom-modified to retain characteristics of the lenses from that time period. Lighting was adjusted and Tungsten lights were used to give it more authenticity.3. Paul Bettany's character, Vision, who is mainly maroon in colour was painted blue for the black and white scenes because blue worked better in grayscale.4. There is a faded mural in episode 2 when Wanda walks from the kitchen to the living room on the wall behind the candlesticks that shows a building that Baron Strucker had used in Sokovia. It is the place where the Avengers storm in and first meet Wanda and Pietro.5. The series eclipsed the budget of The Pacific (2010), of $21.7 million per episode, with $25 million per episode.6. The final scene of the finale was originally intended to show the townspeople swarming Wanda trying to confront her, but it was later changed to them standing apart and miserable. This change was made as a result of COVID regulations but ended up being the one Jac Shaeffer liked better, as she believed the scene was more compelling on a psychological level.If you haven't watched this yet then do so, it's streaming on Disney + HotstarThat's the OTTplay Now You Know for today, I shall be back again with another episode soon. Until then it's your host Nikhil signing out.

Sweet tantrumy Kitty. Illyana, THAT friend. Paul Smith draws Ellen Page 25 years before Ellen Page. The quality of Paul Smith's line - simplicity implies detail The Twitter spoiler machine What is Twitter really for, then? Axis #5 - SPOILERS - discussing artists hitting or not hitting the important details. The movie universe bleeding into the comics. Wolverine's face! Storm wears fur. You read that right. Storm's losing control of her powers. Was this leading somewhere? How Storm got her unique look. Lee Forrester is back! Nighcrawler brings a special package to Amanda Sefton. Or does he have 2 packages??? Great Ads - Spider-Man's Christmas ad, and a Bill Willingham D&D ad! Hey, why NOT talk about D&D on an X-Men podcast? Alan's Madelyne Pryor story! Warren Worthington has a private elevator. Elevators. Yeah, they're safe. Candy Southern is introduced to Sunder, who is there to hurt her. EMMA FROST! The X-Men meet the Morlocks for the first time! We're introduced to Callisto, Sunder, Plague, and Masque. Scott drops Lee Forrester faster than a hooker in Sketchers, and plans his trip to Egypt. Storm will cut a beech! Alan's story idea for the end of the Maddy Pryor/Mastermind arc. Woulda been so so nice. Illyana manifests the soul sword for the first time! Rogue arrives at the X-Mansion for the first time! Ms. Marvel comes home and punches Rogue to the Moon, then gives the X-Men the finger.   Shortly after, in Marvel Fanfare #24, Carol Danvers says goodbye to planet Earth at an Avengers poker game.   Lastly, in Uncanny X-Men Annual #6, Dracula comes a-callin' again. Sienkiewicz's art compared to his work in Uncanny X-Men #159. Young readers' lack of appreciation for Dracula's place in the Marvel U. Kitty's parents divorce. The final, sad fate of Rachel Van Helsing.   MUSIC OUTRO - "On a Plain" - Nirvana   DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN FIND ALL OF OUR EPISODES AT greatxpectations.libsyn.com OR FIND IT ON ITUNES AND STITCHER!

Rachelle and Dave are moving on to the second, and most highly regarded, movie in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy. Though many still consider Spider-Man 2 to be one of the best super hero movies of all time, Dave and Rachelle have some problems with it. A lot of problems. Also discussed in this episode: the leaked trailer for Inhumans, Jack Kirby gets a Disney Legends award, Rachelle is struggling to beat Baron Strucker in the 2011 Captain America: Super Soldier video game, and Hawkman gets rated as a super hunk.

They say that the "Frenemy of my Enemy" is my…uh…well, my Grant Ward, I guess. Coulson tracks down Ward to help him find HYDRA's leader Baron Strucker. Fitz isn't very happy about that, but they are getting pretty close. Until Ward, seemingly betrays them and places Deathlok right in their hands. Sky travels to Wisconsin with her father, only to reveal her whereabouts to May. Everyone tries to get to Skye in time, but with a friend like Gordon, it's hard to pin her down to one spot. So Coulson plays his next hand, which may be his last, as he turns himself over to Bobbi and Mack. Jay and Josh look desperately in Milwaukee for good pastries on this week's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Fury is challenged to man-to-man combat by the infamous Nazi weapons master Baron Strucker… but the challenge might be a trap! (Ya think?) Brian and Dion return for more Nazi-punching, howitzer-stealing, comic-book-analyzing shenanigans, so … Continue reading Episode 5: Sgt. Fury #5 “At the Mercy of Baron Strucker” →
