Review: ‘X-Men ’97’ Season 2

If Season 1 of X-Men ’97, Marvel Animation’s revival of X-Men: The Animated Series revived the heart of the beloved classic cartoon, Season 2 reanimates its soul…at least that’s what it seems like through the first four episodes of the sophomore season. While Season 1 provided a nostalgic trip to the 90s, full of feel-good […]

Sentinels, Symbiotes, and Succession — What to Expect From Marvel Animation’s 2026 Slate

And now it seems clear that […]

‘Maul-Shadow Lord’ Reopens A Savage Wound

Since first appearing in The Phantom Menace, Maul has evolved from a silent, stalking slasher baddie into a truly archetypal tragic monster. The development of the former Sith in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels have made him not only a fan favorite baddie but also, perhaps, a Star Wars most interesting antagonist. […]

Review: ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Season 2, Episodes 2 & 3: Sinew and Scar Tissue

Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation at Marvel Studios, Brad Winderbaum, has made it crystal that the studio views Daredevil: Born Again as its flagship streaming series.

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 premiere just dropped on Disney+ and a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it audio cue has officially tied Wilson Fisk to the highest levels of the MCU’s shadow government.
