A trailer for the final season of What If...? is out, with a pretty neat surprise at the end.
I still think it's really weird to end an anthology series that could theoretically go on forever, especially since I don't really think it's fully lived up to its potential despite me having enjoyed the series overall, but oh well.. Hopefully they have another long term animated series in the works to take its place.
Nice! I'm liking the look of that wild western style episode, and I'm not usually into Wild West stuff.
Neat to see characters like Agatha appear here, and also apparently Ironheart according to fans on reddit. Though she still hasn't been fully solidified/introduced with her series yet.
I agree it's weird to be ending the show now. They should just be able to put it on hiatus or something.
But then again, every season always needed to have some sort of overarching connection by the end, so I guess there's some uber-ultra final ending they have planned - to fully link to the Main MCU, perhaps? (Unlikely but idk)
Also Deadpool and Wolverine, and Assembled: The Making Of, is now on Disney Plus! Cool.

Recently saw Agatha episodes 6 & 7 -- oh my gooooosh these were STELLAR.
Episode 6 focusing on a flashback of Teen's life before the Road and how that came to fruition was pretty cool and engaging. Unfortunately, due to Disney/Marvel's stupidity, I learned of his true identity before the show even came out, since they accidentally released the wrong synopsis to news outlets, where they called his character Billy, before having it changed to "Teen" since oops we aren't supposed to know that! Cue all the fan theorizing and the name Billy Maximoff comes up.
I was worried my parents would need more explaining after this episode once I figured out where it was going, but they seemed to get it alright! He's the possessed body of William, but Billy. I did have to explain why the return of Ralph Bohner made me laugh, but still, wow, that was a great way to throw some shade on his character and tie up the loose end he became at the end of the WV. (All that Pietro teasing all for a boner joke, a misdirect, and... he just vanishes lol huh)
Episode 7 was absolutely FANTASTIC.
Holy shit, the episode started off fun and nice with lots of good witch references with the costumes and a pretty brutal sword ceiling trap, but once it shifted into Lillia's perspective, HOLY SHIT, 10/10 episode!!
Finally getting explanations for her spiritual outbursts in the show, as they're all connected to her time-hopping visions out-of-order. And the transitions between each scene was really cool to see.
Now I see why they got Patti Lupone on this show and MAN her fans must have been really happy with this one because SHE ATE IT UPPPP. Stellar performance, really cool.
And wowowow, what a brutal death for the Salem Seven. Ouch...
Oh yeah, and Rio was revealed as Death. I actually kinda picked up on some of those references early on, where I thought her power came from death-magic or she was some disciple of death, but ohhh okay, she's the actual "Death" that Thanos is in love with in the comics lmao.
I particularly love that I caught how Rio says "Well, I was in the neighbourhood" After they do a Green Witch summoning after Mrs. Hart, and are unsure if it had worked or not. That was a good non-answer.
My parents enjoyed ep7 quite a bit less and found themselves getting confused with all the quick time jumps and needing to piece those together with events from earlier in the season... But ehh, I enjoyed it and I explained this one as best I could!
Still 2 episodes left! Ooh!
I think I read in a thread of the previous episode that some fan had a wild theory that The Road is all an illusion conjured by Billy for whatever reason, since he seems to really like pop culture and witch lore --- and also yknow his mom illusioned an entire town. Especially since the Door the Road appears on, is surrounded by blue magic, very similar to what his magic looks like...
I guess time will tell if that theory is right, I don't know why it would/should be right, since I thought this was all real magic witch stuff, but uhhh okay... I wouldn't mind it being right though because GOD, Jac Schaffer really knows how to write a twisty, interconnected puzzle-box script! So good!!
Tonight, Spider-Verse is trending online.
People have spotted this neon spider logo being set up in Chelsea, New York.
Beyond the Spider-Verse Marketing is starting???
Hope this pushes them to either actually make a good movie that has legs that will earn respect and franchise loyalty, or partner with the MCU more often for some guaranteed hits.
I'm really surprised Sony haven't cashed in on a live-action Miles or SpiderGwen movie yet. That would easily print money (despite the quality, again...)
Also I just learned that the Kraven movie is coming out this week WTF??? I haven't been following any news of the film, but I also haven't seen any trailers for it on TV or at the theatres lately. I feel like it still had many more months to go...
So it looks like Kraven will be the last movie in Sony's Spider-Man Universe. At least, for now as they focus on the next Spider-Man movie.
Morbheads we lost
I'm really surprised Sony haven't cashed in on a live-action Miles or SpiderGwen movie yet.
They've pretty consistently talked about wanting to bring Miles into the MCU, so I guess that'll happen eventually probably after Secret Wars. There was also gonna be a Silk tv show called Silk: Spider Society which makes it sound like she would have at least had a cameo in that, but that got canned.
All they've got left is that Spider-Man: Noir show, which I can't say I'm too excited about since apparently that show caused disagreements between Sony and Lord and Miller to the point Sony no longer wanted to renew their contracts with them.
...to shreds you say?
...like a turd, in the wind, you say?

Goddammit, man...
LMAO TV confirmed

lol

I watched Kraven the Hunter.
It's better than Morbius and Madame Web.
I think.
