Comic-Con was lit. We saw panels for Marvel, Mortal Kombat, and a new show called The Beauty. Highlights: • Marvel Zombies — 4 episodes. Not canon. But Blade + Moon Knight powers? Dope. • X-Men '97 — New showrunners. Same as the first showrunners. Trailer was sick. • Daredevil Season 2 — trailer blew up. Jessica Jones shows. It's bigger, wilder, leads into Brand New Day. Season 3 also confirmed. • Wonder Man — meta AF. An actor chasing a superhero life? Could end up with actual powers. • Vision Quest — most of this one's inside Vision's head. He's wrestling with all his AIs (Jarvis, FRIDAY, Karen, Ultron, Edith), and one of his kids might still be alive. • Mortal Kombat 2 — they dropped a 5-min clip. We get realm traveling (Baraka's realm seen), a more humorous tone, and a deeper Johnny Cage journey. NEED MERCH?!: www.insensitivemerch.com Join the cult of Casual Nerds and get up to 15% off!

Frank and Squeaks break down the biggest New York Comic Con headlines, from Invincible season 4 and Batman Knightfall to X-Men '97 and Marvel's Wonder Man. They give honest, spoiler-light reactions to the Peacemaker season 2 finale, talk about what the show sets up for the DCU, and then welcome voice actor Jordan Reynolds for a deep dive on playing Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals. Jordan explains his audition process, how direction shapes in-game performance, and why Adam should feel like a calm anchor when the fight gets chaotic. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Cold open and Peacemaker gag, show rundown 01:25 What's on deck today – NYCC news, Peacemaker S2 review, interview with Jordan Reynolds 02:17 Invincible S4 dated for March 2026, where the story heads, cosmic scale, and why Thragg raises the stakes 08:33 Batman: Knightfall animated event – four films starting in 2026, hopes for DC's new animated era 12:25 X-Men '97 – season 2 in summer 2026 with Apocalypse focus, season 3 already planned, Four Horsemen and Onslaught talk 18:27 Wonder Man trailer – Hollywood satire vibes, how meta Marvel might go, January 27, 2026 launch window 24:17 VisionQuest – James Spader back as Ultron, Stark AIs in human form, Speed casting, the “WandaVision-Agatha-VisionQuest” trilogy idea 30:01 Mortal Kombat – MK III confirmed, MK II moves to May 2026, where the films could escalate next 33:09 Starfleet Academy trailer reactions – teen drama concerns vs Trek world-building 37:23 A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – lighter tone, Ashford tourney focus, January 18, 2026 premiere 43:50 Peacemaker S2 review – why the season works, why the finale felt underwhelming, multiverse town twist, Keith thread 51:17 DCU setup – Checkmate hints, Salvation Run ideas, how this could feed into Superman and government vs metahumans 58:45 What's next – could Peacemaker shift into a Checkmate-style series, Lanterns connections 1:02:15 Interview: Jordan Reynolds (Adam Warlock) – audition approach, building a “stable, reliable” voice, methodical healer playstyle, directing alt callouts and action barks Key Takeaways Invincible's next chapter leans harder into the cosmic war and should bring Thragg front and center. DC's animated Knightfall could set the tone for a fresh post-DCEU animation slate. X-Men '97 is thinking big with Apocalypse while still leaving room for classic arcs to surface later. Wonder Man looks like a character study about actors and fame first, superhero spectacle second. VisionQuest aims at identity and fatherhood, with Ultron and Stark AIs complicating Vision's humanity. MK III is happening while MK II shifts to May 2026, likely escalating from tournament to Earthrealm stakes. Starfleet Academy's tone split the room, but the world of Trek can still benefit from smaller-scale stories done right. Peacemaker S2 delivers heart and growth for Chris Smith, even if the finale plays more like a handoff to the wider DCU. Checkmate and “metahumans vs government” are poised to be a major connective thread into Superman. Jordan Reynolds frames Adam Warlock as the calm center of a chaotic match – measured, hopeful, and precise. Quotes “Season one was a Peacemaker season. This one felt like a Chris season.” “I just wanted him to be happy.” “Ultron is a better villain than one movie. He deserves to be around more.” “If you cannot move fast, you have to be very conscious about your choices.” – Jordan Reynolds “He should feel stable, reliable, an anchor for the team.” – Jordan Reynolds on Adam Warlock Call to Action Enjoying the show?

Paul Bettany's White Vision is positioned as the capstone to the WandaVision trilogy, with the series exploring memory versus emotion, a confirmed return for Ultron, and the reveal of Tommy Shepherd now aged up.

This week on the Marvel Rewatch episode we finish Phase two of the MCU with Avengers: Age of Ultron.The film was a bit of a disappointment when it originally came out but has time Benn kind to the sequel?

When we discuss artificial intelligence, what metaphors do we use to illustrate what we mean? Is artificial intelligence some sort of robot—like Ultron—or is it an organism—like a beehive? What happens to our expectations, our thinking, and our conclusions when we change these metaphors, say, from an entitative metaphor (say, an agent) to a relational metaphor (say, belonging to our work network)? We discuss these points with and who wrote a very interesting paper on how management scholars think about artificial intelligence.   Episode reading list Ramaul, L., Ritala, P., Kostis, A., & Aaltonen, P.

So occasionally one of us will make a joke in-episode where my brain goes “Ding! Fodder for the write up” and then I have time to think on it, flush it out, edit out the dumb bits, or forget my original idea, have it again, and essentially…do the same thing, only faster and more of the dumb bits get left in. Anyway. That happened here and we're doing the second version of it (hence that lead-in sentence being the lead-in.) So, for those who weren't there, there was this time in the early-to-mid 2010s, right around the time A) the movie we're talking about it coming out and B) Nerd/Fandom culture is kinda hitting the apex of where that's going to go, where we loved combining different fandom IPs on t-shirts and mugs and stuff that we could take digital art and print it on. So think things like R2-D2 and C3PO riding on the Tardis, or it's the Pink power ranger with that mean girls quote about wearing pink on Wednesdays, or Link and Zelda riding on Pokémon or whatever. So this joke in the episode led me to wonder if there were any Avengers x Arrested Development shirts like this and after about 10 minutes of internet searching, I'm coming up mostly empty, but I cannot shake the feeling they existed at one point. I can picture it in my mind: Tobias a blue Hulk, Iron Man as Gob using the Aztec Tomb with War Machine as his assistant, Black Widow as Maeby asking Cap where he got his “cross necklace” so she can go on a ski trip, Hawkeye driving the stair car while the Maximoffs ride on the back….yeah. The shirt draws itself. Or it would, if it were 2015 and I had any artistic abilities. Oh well. Anyway, we did an episode about Avengers: Age of Ultron. It's a two-parter. This is the first part. Enjoy.

Today on the podcast, we're joined by Marvel Games' Danny Koo for an update on the upcoming season of Marvel Rivals featuring Phoenix and Blade (02:21).

Another new guest joins the podcast, as Hylia.Lynx joins me to talk about some of her favorite fandoms. We start things off by talking about one of the long running anime fandoms, Pokemon! Lynx and I talk about her entry into the world of Pokemon. Was it the anime? The card game? The video games? The movies? You'll get to hear about it here! We talk about some of her favorite experiences with Pokemon across the spectrum, including a few stories about her journey as a Pokemon master with Pokemon Go. Lynx stories continue, with her journey as a pirate, talking about One Piece! Lynx talks about what drew her to the storied, long running anime (and movies). We talk about the story, what continues to keep her coming back episode after episode, and some of her favorite characters. And she answers the ultimate question: Does she own a straw hat? From there, we talk about how she got into the new video game, Marvel Rivals. This was recorded prior to the Ultron release, so you'll hear us talking about that character's upcoming addition. Lynx talks about the game and how she got into playing this game specifically. We talk about a few of the characters she likes to play, and what she's been doing as a Marvel Rivals gamer. Lastly, we wrap up with Cosplay. We're talking about how she first got interested in Cosplay, some of her favorite characters, what she gets to do with cosplay, and more. From collabs to cons, and everything in between!

Episode Summary: In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank and Thomas break down the final three episodes of Ironheart, diving into how the show blends tech with magic, explores grief and mental health, and reintroduces Mephisto in a big way. From chaotic battles to powerful AI projections, they unpack the highs, lows, and everything in between. They discuss the MCU's shift into deeper themes, character arcs like The Hood's descent, Natalie's complex identity, and the MCU's growing use of magic as a tool for emotional storytelling. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 Intro and spoiler warning 00:15 Initial reactions to the tone shift and episode structure 01:18 Magic in the MCU and Ironheart's connection 02:51 Mental health in Riri's journey 05:04 Natalie as therapy-influenced AI 06:57 AI vs memory: interpreting Natalie 10:15 White Castle fight scene and power scaling debate 12:02 Riri's engineering vs hand-to-hand combat 13:35 Zeke, The Hood, and the villain overload 14:41 Suit upgrades, magic montage, and chaos magic 17:06 Mephisto's role and Dormammu nod 24:07 Comic accuracy vs reinvention 25:57 MCU flexibility and changes to canon 28:54 Technology-meets-magic theme 31:01 AI projections and grief 33:04 MCU's future with Vision Quest and Ultron 35:03 Sacha Baron Cohen as Mephisto 36:37 The devil's deal and Natalie's return 37:25 Final suit thoughts 38:55 Thunderbolts, Champions, or New Avengers? 41:00 Post-credits scene breakdown 42:22 Hood's possible redemption 43:00 Final ratings and closing thoughts 44:44 Hopes for the MCU's next phase Key Takeaways: Ironheart explores mental health in nuanced ways, especially through Riri's breakdowns and support from Natalie. The show's shift into magic territory marks a new, risky direction for the character but pays off in Episode 6. Mephisto is back, and Sacha Baron Cohen's performance steals the show in just minutes. The Natalie AI walks a fine line between grief processing and synthetic memory. Riri's intelligence is highlighted less through her tech than it could've been—missed opportunities for showing her engineering skills. The MCU is clearly setting up more stories around AI, magic, and emotional cost, hinting at projects like Vision Quest, Armor Wars, and Doctor Strange 4. The Hood and Zelma Stanton's roles suggest major connections to Doctor Strange and Mephisto storylines ahead. Quotes: “Magic always takes something. It's not just about power—it's about sacrifice.” “Natalie is what your brain wants to hear, even if it's not what you need.” “They made Ironheart different from the comics, but if you're going to make big swings, at least make them interesting.” “Anthony Ramos brought heat. He made The Hood feel dangerous, sympathetic, and tragic—all in one season.” “That final suit? Bit Wakanda Forever. Still slick though.” Call to Action: Enjoyed the breakdown?

Yup, it's real — and it's being called a “Non‑Prequel Non‑Reboot Sequel Part Two with Reboot Elements.” Hollywood's losing its damn mind and we're here for it.Then we talk Dave Filoni possibly becoming the new emperor of Star Wars, the tragic demise of a Transformers: One sequel, and a wild Avengers: Doomsday concept art leak that drops more names than a group chat with the Secret Wars roster. Mansion X? Monica Rambeau? Miles Teller as The Maker?? Let's goooo.Plus, our latest rumor blast — Midnight Sons, Hercules, Thor 5 (without Taika), and White Vision meets Ultron in Madripoor?

In this episode of Geek Freaks, Frank and Squeaks sit down with middle school teacher Mark Daumier, who's using comic books to revolutionize how kids engage with reading. Mark shares how he turned his love of comics into a classroom staple, building a library of over 14,000 comics and using them to teach visual literacy, historical events, and critical thinking. Plus, the Geek Freaks crew breaks down everything from the new King of the Hill revival and Vision series casting to the cancellation of EA's Black Panther game and the Switch 2 release. If you're a fan of comics, games, or how pop culture shapes education, this one's for you. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00:00 Introduction and Patreon shoutouts 00:00:45 Guest Preview: Mark Daumier's comic-based classroom 00:02:09 Comfort Games: Mass Effect, Space Marine, and Animal Crossing 00:04:01 King of the Hill revival and modern updates to the cast 00:08:24 Marvel Vision Series: Jocasta's debut and Ultron's return 00:12:12 EA cancels Black Panther game, industry layoffs discussed 00:20:34 Pokemon Legends Z-A and Switch 2 impressions 00:26:35 Full breakdown of the Switch 2's hardware, internet issues, and accessory talk 00:31:09 Upcoming Switch 2 games and gimmicky features 00:33:00 Assassin's Creed Shadows and Cyberpunk on Switch 00:33:16 Interview: Mark Daumier on comic books in the classroom 00:35:50 Comic book reading comprehension and visual learning 00:38:01 Mark's early comic fandom and Spider-Man subscription 00:43:44 Teaching narrative structures and novel writing with comics 00:47:12 Star Wars and pop culture in student assignments 00:50:03 Comic fandoms, MCU popularity, and Thunderbolts in class 00:59:19 Advice for teachers: meeting students where they are 01:01:10 Watchlist: Ironheart, The Bear, Squid Game Season 3 01:02:33 Movie Talk: Ballerina, How to Train Your Dragon, 28 Years Later 01:04:22 Pixar's Leo and the debate around Disney originals 01:06:13 F1 with Brad Pitt and Megan 2.0 reactions 01:07:42 Recommendations of the Week: Warhammer Darktide and Marvel's Darth Vader (2020) Key Takeaways: Comics help bridge the gap for students who struggle with traditional reading. Mark Daumier uses over 14,000 comics in his curriculum, including creative assignments like comic-style reports. Comics like Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns are powerful but carefully used depending on student maturity. Star Wars, Captain America, and Spider-Man continue to resonate with students. The Vision series and Jocasta casting hint at deeper Marvel storytelling on the horizon. EA's canceled Black Panther game reflects broader industry issues. The Switch 2 launches with improvements but raises concerns about internet requirements. Original stories from Disney and Pixar are in demand more than retellings. Memorable Quotes: “If you read 20–25 comic books, that's the same as reading a novel.” — Mark Daumier “Comics help kids visualize what they're reading. That unlocks everything else.” — Mark Daumier “I was like, can I teach in your class now?” — Frank Lourence “Nintendo throws stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Sometimes they reinvent the industry.” — Squeaks Call to Action: Love what you heard? Subscribe to Geek Freaks on your favorite podcast platform and leave us a review.

There's no strings on Tyler and Konnery as they're joined by fellow Avengers Jacob Padilla and Joseph Horne to fight evil AI and hang out on a farm in “Avengers: Age of Ultron!” Together they realize Iron Man and Captain America's different but equal strengths as characters, how effective Hulkbusting really is, collateral damage and superhero insurance claims, and so much more on this metal-man episode of The Friendchise Podcast!

Send us a textBuckle up, patriots. In this episode of Ones Ready, Jared delivers your May 14th intel drop with a healthy dose of snark, sarcasm, and sheer disbelief. From raiding facility repair budgets to secure the border (bye-bye, AC in Vegas) to an AI tool that's definitely not Ultron (yet), we hit the military's greatest hits of misplaced priorities and bureaucratic buffoonery.We cover the Pentagon's latest budgeting antics, DoD AI ambitions (because what could go wrong?), a suspiciously optimistic F-47 timeline, and a childcare crisis that screams, "We love our troops—just not their kids." Add in a Space Force budget tantrum, India's surgical flex on Pakistan, and a friendly reminder that PFAS is still turning your water into poison.You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll probably question your enlistment contract.

“Whedon at the line….oh, no, another brick!” - Steve, on the screenplay clunkers On this week's episode, the 2025 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza kicks off with a trip to Franchise Town as we discuss the fun, Spader-tastic sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron! How great is James Spader with this Ultron performance? Are there too many characters in this fully-loaded movie? Should they have written mutant characters when they couldn't use the word ‘mutant' anywhere in the script? And would Ultron have been more menacing if he was given a big, mechanical mustache? PLUS: What in the world is going on with the Maximoffs' accents here? Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Cobie Smulders, Anthony Mackie, Hayley Atwell, Idris Elba, Linda Cardellini, Stellan Skarsgård, Claudia Kim, Thomas Kretschman, Andy Serkis, and James Spader as Ultron; directed by noted jerk, Joss Whedon.
