"Marvel Animation on Hulu" General News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

Given how not much was heard about it after almost a year, it's no surprise. I'm guessing this is the shortest lived Marvel cartoon.

It and Hit-Monkey each lasted one day, so yes.

Yeah, even if all the episodes didn't drop at once and there have been other Marvel toons that lasted only one season, M.O.D.O.K. still had less episodes in total (10 as opposed to the standard 13). Technically What If...? had less episodes in its first season, but that still has at least another batch of episodes in the works that hasn't premiered yet.

The BET Black Panther cartoon had 6 episodes.

Those What if? episodes are in the can already. The Peter Parker as Hawkeye and Black Widow ones were in the trailers. They basically split the one season into two and made it two seasons. Even though, from looks of it, it really worked seamlessly.

Well, except for the Sakarr!Iron Man and Thanos!Gamora episode .

Apparently, the pilot for Hit-Monkey is eligible for an Emmy for Best Animated Program. It might not end up getting a nomination or even winning, but I thought this was pretty cool.

(Only knew about What If?... being submitted for the Emmy Ballot prior to this)

Good for the show .

I think this was among the last big news posted here that was lost due to the forum downtime, so re-posting it now-

Hit-Monkey Season Two was announced.

The renewal comes over a year since the show originally debuted back in November 2021. Based on the titular Marvel Comics character of the same name, the series follows a Japanese snow monkey whose entire tribe is slaughtered. He then teams with the ghost of American assassin Bryce to get revenge on the Yakuza who wronged them both.

The new season will follow Hit-Monkey and Bryce as they travel from Japan to New York City. Fred Tatasciore voices Hit-Monkey. The rest of the returning voice cast includes Olivia Munn as Akiko Yokohama, Jason Sudeikis as Bryce, and Ally Maki as Haruka. In addition, Leslie Jones will be joining the show for Season 2 in an undisclosed role.

The show was co-created by Josh Gordon and Will Speck, who also serve as executive producers. 20th Television Animation serves as the studio behind the series.

It's pretty interesting that Season 2 will be under the 20th Century banner.

Certainly one of the more unexpected news recently, considering the complete silence around the show following season one and the wave of cancellations back then.

Yay, more Hit-Monkey! Most happiest surprise comic book cartoon news in a while !

I figured they'd focus on New York, makes me wonder if we'll get more Marvel guest stars (they teased Kingpin in season 1) .

I also wonder if Akiko follows them to New York as the new Lady Bullseye and Haruka follows her to try to stop/arrest her .

 

[M.O.D.O.K.]

Hit-Monkey Season 2 will premiere on July 15th. It will have 10 episodes.

Here's also a description:

In New York City, Monkey finds a path to escape his life of killing, while Bryce attempts to repair the damage to those he wronged in life. But what will it cost them to undo the past? "In New York City, Monkey struggles against his darker nature while he tries to escape his life of killing".

Hit-Monkey Season 2 will premiere on July 15th. It will have 10 episodes.

Here's also a description:

Sounds like Bryce tries to reconnect with his family vis-a-vis Hit-Monkey and they probably start fighting crime in the process .

Oh and I guess Akiko will probably show up trying to kill them...
