M.O.D.O.K.

(Pure Adorable Talent, Targeting Only the Niche)

Sadly Oswalt and Blum's extremely specific take on one of the more outlandish Marvel villains flew over the gigantic heads of many but I absolutely adored it. Much sharper than the visually similar Robot Chicken, beautifully animated and with a fantastic cast - M. O. D. O. K. Manages to wander that fine line between affectionate parody and strangely solid sitcom on its own terms. Recasting the MCU as a stop motion adult animation with some beautifully obscure nods to the canon. It shouldn't have worked and sadly it appears not to have done for quite a few people but it absolutely did it for me. Easily the best Marvel TV show in 2021.

Not sure if it's that everyone loves to tear good things down, or a general lack of a sense of humor, but, I don't get all the negative reviews here. This show is funny. Let it grow on you, like a glorious fungus.

1990' was the decade of making every comic character as serious and somber as possible

2010's until today was the decade to make them all clowns

If MODOK was the first to try it, it would be a 10 star show But as a cliche, it has it's moments, and that's it.

The show is an extremely good representation of M. O. D. O. K in comic form and to be fair, the whole Marvel Universe from the comics, matching tones and personalities really well. However, it's not for everyone - it's humour is very much that of Robot Chicken sprinkled with a bit of Patton Oswalt's humour that you see in his stand-up and if that's not your thing, this isn't either.

The show doesn't have any laugh out loud moments but it does well for a series with long form storylines as a goal and will make you giggle throughout. It's definitely worth the watch.

M. O. D. O. K. Is the best thing about this, he has zero to no social skills, he is completely self centered and extremely selfies, and that's what makes his constant failures be so entertaining.
