My SPOILER FREE First Impressions Of The M.O.D.O.K. Animated Series

 


Marvel fans Marvel very rarely puts out anything that's animated and so it's always exciting to see whatever animated product that Marvel puts out and I will fully admit that i've been excited to watching this show since it was first announced in February 2019. I do believe that this show is the first Marvel adult animated TV show that Marvel has produced and join me as I give you my first impressions of the TV show that is called simply just "M.O.D.O.K" enjoy and yes this post will be SPOILER FREE so you won't get anything or even that much actually spoiled about the actual show itself but yeah enjoy the post everyone.

The plot of this show is M.O.D.O.K has to try and figure out who he is all the while trying to be the best villain that he possibly can be nd since i'm keeping this post as spoiler free as possible that's all I can really say about the actual plot of this show without going into spoilers territory. In all honesty just based of the four episodes that I / i've watched the story / plot for this show does seem pretty fun and in all honesty does seem in my opinion at least to be really fresh and unique which for me at least is always a good thing.


Starring in this show is co-creator , writer and co-executive producer Patton Oswalt as George Tarleton / M.O.D.O.K. and Aimee Garcia as Jodie Tarleton. Also starring in this show is Ben Schwartz as Louis "Lou" Tarleton , Melissa Fumero as Melissa Tarleton , Wendi McLendon-Covey as Monica Rappaccini , Beck Bennett as Austin Van Der Sleet , Jon Daly as Super-Adaptoid , Sam Richardson as Gary , Jon Hamm as Tony Stark / Iron Man , Bill Hader as Samuel Sterns / The Leader and as David Alan Angar / Angar the Screamer and Whoopi Goldberg as Marian Pouncy / Poundcakes.

In terms of what I personally thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in the four episodes of the show I watched before making this post. In all honesty the acting that's featured / presented to us in this show so far is really good with all of the actors that are appearing in this show being very well cast with a special shout out to Patton Oswalt who is just simply perfect as George Tarleton / M.O.D.O.K..


Doing the animation for this show is Stoopid Buddy Stoodios who of course do the animation for Robot Chicken amongst many other animated TV shows. In terms of what I personally thought about the animation that's featured / presented to us in this show in all honesty I really did like the animation that's featured / presented to us in this show since it looks different enough from Robot Chicken for it to be it's own thing and it looks in all honesty very cinematic but at the same time you can also tell that it's by the exact same team who worked on Robot Chicken.


In all honesty Hulu have been pretty close to killing it when it comes to their animated series with the Animaniacs reboot actually being good and so alot of pressure would have been on this show to be as good or if not better then the Animaniacs reboot was. However I don't think that this show quite reaches the highs of the Animaniacs reboot since even tho this show is meant to be a comedy there's very little to no actually funny moments at least in the first four episodes of the show that I watched at least which f9r something that's meant to be a comedy which in my opinion at least is a very bad thing.

Our of all the shows that had all of their episodes released at once I do feel that this particular show will suffer because of that fact. Since you could very easily enjoy this show more if the episodes were released weekly since then this show would have a chance to well and truly stand out since alot of shows that are airing on streaming services have all of their episodes released at once and as such I do very strongly feel that this show will get lost in the seas / shuffle of all of the other TV shows that release all of their episodes at once but that's just what I personally think anyways and that's just in my personal and as well as being in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.


This show is an adult animated series and I have to say that at least in these first four episodes anyways the show doesn't really go that extreme with the fact that it's an adult animated TV series. Yes there is alot of blood and some swearing but what makes this show adult seems to be in it's plot which I thought was a great approach / a great way to go with this series because it shows that the people that are making this show are actually mature adults who care about storytelling and characters and don't really care about showing any animated females getting naked.

Now then boys and girls before I started writing this post I watched the first four episodes of this show which in total adds up to about two hours in grand total running time. I honestly feel that watching the first four episodes of this show was more then enough for me to get a good first impression of the show and as well as to get a very good idea of what the show is about and it really does help that all four episodes had in my opinion at least some really good pacing.


Now then boys and girls there is some action in these first four episodes and so that means that I have to talk about the action that's featured / presented to us in these four episodes of the actual show itself and if i'm being honest here boys and girls the action was kind of disappointing. Which I get could be kind of the point of this particular show since this show is more or a sitcom then an action show but even still / so if you have the Marvel named attached to your show then your audience is going to go into that show expecting to be blown away by the action sequences which very sadly isn't the case with this particular show at least with the first four episodes of this particular show anyways. 


Overall just based of these first four episodes at least I can say that this looks to be a pretty decent show however I cannot see either myself or anyone else watching all ten episodes of this shows first season. Now then boys and girls / ladies and gentlemen since i've talked about both / all of the good and both / all of the bad things that are in these first four episodes I really have to say this show is at best going to be an average show and since this isn't a review I will not be giving this show a rating / ranking since i've not seen all of the episodes of this shows first season and it in all honesty wouldn't be right for me to judge an entire show just based of the first four episodes of this shows first season.

As for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this post from the official Disney fandom wiki page , Google Images , the official Animaniacs fandom wiki page and the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page. In terms of which website I personally preferred to use to get images from this show it has to be Google Images simply because of the fact that Google Images actually had alot of images frim this show and alot of the images on Google Images were also pretty high quality and as well as being pretty high definition.
