After the massive stakes of Age of Ultron, Marvel did something unexpected — it went small.In this episode of Marvel Maniac, we revisit Ant-Man and explore why this funny, heartfelt, and inventive film was exactly what the MCU needed at the end of Phase Two. From Paul Rudd's instantly lovable Scott Lang, to Hank Pym's grief-driven legacy, to the introduction of the mysterious Quantum Realm, Ant-Man proves that Marvel doesn't always need gods or world-ending threats to make us care. Sometimes, the smallest stories hit the hardest. ⭐ Enjoying the show?

What can fans expect from that reveal, and how did you approach filling in a piece of lore that's been left blank for over 40 years?You're collaborating with artist Kewber Baal, who's got a dynamic and muscular style that fits Thundarr perfectly. What's the creative chemistry been like between you two so far?Classic villains like Gemini and Mindok are returning. Did you treat this like a “greatest hits” of Thundarr adversaries, or did you want to expand their mythology too?Fun/Silly Question: If you had Thundarr's Sunsword for a day, what's the first totally irresponsible thing you'd use it for — and what's the first heroic thing you'd do after? 

Avengers: Age of Ultron is one of the most misunderstood movies in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe—and with the benefit of hindsight, it's aged far better than anyone expected. In this episode of Marvel Maniac, I take a deep dive into why Age of Ultron works as a crucial bridge between the early Avengers era and the eventual end of the Infinity Saga. From Tony Stark's darkest compulsions and the creation of Ultron, to the introduction of Wanda Maximoff, the loss that defines her, and the quiet foreshadowing hidden in Vision's final conversation with Ultron—this movie was doing far more groundwork than we realized at the time. We talk Sokovia, consequences, the seeds of Civil War, Hawkeye's importance, the Avengers at their absolute peak, and why this film feels richer and heavier when viewed through everything that comes after it. If you want to support the show, Patreon is always appreciated (with flexibility when needed), and there's also a tip jar if you'd like to toss support the show's way—never expected, always grateful. You can also hang out with me live on Twitch at twitch.tv/MrHon3st (that's Mr H-O-N-3-S-T — a 3 instead of the E) where I stream Marvel's Spider-Man and other games three days a week.

More is coming soon—including a future Discord for deeper discussions and a true home base for Marvel Maniacs. Thanks for being here.

Charlotte and Dave mourn Zack’s absence this week for most of this episode… and probably talk about comics, I guess. Today’s episode is sponsored by GIT Collections, offering complete digital comics collections of the full histories of characters like Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Captain America, Iron Man and X-Men. Visit today and use promo code […] The post My Marvelous Year 2013 Pt. 2: Age of Ultron! appeared first on Comic Book Herald.

We discuss Marvel's extensive lineup for 2026, including animated series like Spider-Man and X-Men, as well as live-action shows such as Wonder Man and Daredevil. Along with our friend Craig from Comic Book Gurus, we explore the significance of character connections, the evolution of storytelling in Marvel's universe, and the anticipation surrounding upcoming releases. Our discussion highlights the blend of humor and action in new series, the return of beloved characters, and the overarching theme of interconnected narratives within the Marvel franchise. We also discuss the intricate connections between Marvel characters, upcoming series, and films, particularly focusing on the legacy of Ultron, the anticipation for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and the implications of Avengers: Doomsday. We explore character arcs, potential storylines, and the impact of new characters in the Marvel universe, while also speculating on the future of Marvel films and their interconnected narratives.

We ranked the MCU Avengers and you seemed to like that enough to fill us with enough delusions of grandeur to rank the colorful (often green or gray) bad guys of the MCU. We're talking everyone from Abomination to Zemo! Every character is beloved by someone which is the only way you can justify Jake sticking up for Kaecilius, Mike rewatching Iron Man 2 repeatedly to slobber all over Justin's Hammer, and Holden's undying love of Norman Osborn. Actually that last one makes sense, it's Willem Dafoe. He rules. Agree with us or disagree with us on Ultron's eyes and let us know if you think the real villain is our awful opinions!Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

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?

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.

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!

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.
