M.O.D.O.K.

At first I want to say that I laughed a lot, twice. And for me that is a lot. I like the animation style and Modok can be a very interesting character. But I think the show and his story is okay and nice to watch,that is the point, I watched the last two month's to many animated series that are better, for example Invincible,Rick and Morty, Archer,Solar Opposite and they all are 8-10 so this show is a little bit worse than this so *7*.

I was super excited when I came across this on hulu. I'm huge Marvel buff and always liked M. O. D. O. K's character. Upon watching though while I did think it was decent, I definitely was let down.

First I want to make a point that this show is very comparable to Robot Chicken therefore you're going to have people who hate it or love it, because of that style of humor. I personally think Hulu dropped ball choosing this direction because I think if it went more of a Family Guy route it'd been much better reviewed.

The show has its share of giggles but theres almost zero laugh out loud moments. The story also meanders around with no clear direction. With all that said, the episodes are short and it isn't a bad time killer. Just don't go into with high hopes and you'll have decent time.

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.

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.
