New Marvel Announcements and Invincible Mid-Season FinaleThis week's episode starts with a bang as Kekes goes on a rant about Taika's Watiti disrespect of Thor as a franchise in his latest comments. This just rubs more salt in Dapo's wounds and sparks a discussion on artists comments outside the product. We then discuss some announcements from Marvel regarding possible new seasons for shows like Ms Marvel, She-Hulk and Moon Knight and also ponder the ramifications of Loki's writer being officially confirmed as the writer for Kang's Dynasty and Secret Wars replacing Antman 3's writer Jeff Loveness.We then move on the livelier topics as we geek out over the mid season finale of Invincible which delivers a stunning episode with some emotional depth despite some gaps we noticed.And just before we go the Marvels director sparks another debate on the way the movie's success/failure is qualified.
