Who Are The Anchor Beings in Marvel? – 10MinMarvel S3E83

Peder — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 11:24:18 +0000

Last week we did a quick challenge question and a video on Marvel’s anchor beings. This idea introduced in Deadpool and Wolverine seems like a way for Marvel to handle the shifting landscape and incursions of the multiverse. Or at least it is a way to add to them. So this week we’re looking at a lot of different universes to see who might be their anchor being. So join us as we pick out one from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man universe, The Amazing Spider-Man, the upcoming Fantastic Four, X-Men 97, What If, and the X-Men universe from The Marvels.

10 Minute Marvel S3E45 – Loki Season 2 Finale

Peder — Tue, 14 Nov 2023 12:33:07 +0000

All good things must come to an end. In this case, Loki wrapped up it’s season two. And there are questions and theories about it that we want to tackle with what happened in the finale. So that’s our main topic for this weeks 10 Minute Marvel, what Loki meant as a show and what it means going forward in the MCU.

Plus, The Marvels came out to theaters to lackluster numbers. We’ll be talking about it more next week. But we give some early impressions on the movie. And there is news with Deadpool 3, as always, and the SAG-Aftra strike being done to talk about.

Comments or Questions: Did you like Loki Finale?

It’s a tricky question that we pose this time at the end of the episode. How is Loki Season 2 going to influence the MCU going forward? I still maintain as a working theory that Marvel is trying to provide background, but easily enough replaceable information in the shows. Like Loki Season 2 is going to matter, but it’ll matter less than we think it will.

You can let us know all of those things down in the comment section below. Or tweet them to me @TheScando or by using #10MinMarvel. And there is now the 10 Minute Marvel Facebook page as well where you can join in the conversation, here. And follow us on YouTube for more content, here.

10 Minute Marvel S3E42: Loki Episode 3: What Is Miss Minutes Plan?

Peder — Tue, 24 Oct 2023 11:29:11 +0000

Episode 3 of Loki took us to the World’s Fair in Chicago. And we got to catch back up with, literally, Renslayer and Miss Minutes. Plus we were introduced to Victor Timely, a He Who Remains variant. So what big questions were there to answer out of this episode? I think a few, especially around Miss Minutes, her plans, and what she knows about Renslayer that we haven’t heard yet.

Plus there is a little news to go along with the Loki talk. Around a trailer, that didn’t come out, plus some potential changes to the Marvel movie slate. And, as interestingly, two shows now also rumored to be getting second seasons. And, of course, if you like board games, like I do, the Marvel Dice Throne X-Men Kickstarter.

Comments or Questions: Did you like Loki Episode 2 and Miss Minutes?

What is Miss Minutes up to? I think there is more to her than we’ve still seen, though we now know more. And what is is that Miss Minutes knows about Renslayer? I did a video on a few guesses over on YouTube (which you can see below).

10 Minute Marvel: Loki Episode 1

Peder — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 11:21:54 +0000

It’s time for a new season of Loki on Disney+ and the first episode is out. And after one episode, Greg and I (Peder) have a lot of questions to ask. But I won’t ask them here in case you haven’t started Loki yet. But let’s just say, we both really enjoyed the first episode. And O.B., played by Ke Huy Quan does an amazing job.

And in the news we talk about rumored plots for Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, Kang Dynasty, and Secret Wars. Plus more Deadpool 3 casting rumors. And a new special presentation rumor around Man Thing.

10 Minute Marvel S3E26: Secret Invasion: Skrull Theories

Peder — Tue, 27 Jun 2023 11:23:15 +0000

The newest Disney+ Marvel show has started and Skrulls are invading. Join us as we talk about Secret Invasion and break down the big questions we have from the first episode. There are some surprising moments to talk about. Theories as to what the motivations are of characters, and we offer two theories that are unlikely, but if it’s right, it’s very cool.

Plus we talk about the news. Marvel isn’t doing a big Hall H Panel at Comic Con this year. Why aren’t they doing it? A new cameo for Deadpool 3 and a possible plot details for Loki. And two comics coming out, including Werewolf by Night after the success of that Disney+ special.

First Round of Marvel TV – WandaVision, Falcon and Winter Soldier, and Loki

Peder — Thu, 22 Jul 2021 15:26:00 +0000

Loki has just wrapped up, I’ve had a week to think on it, so let’s talk about the first wave of Marvel TV shows on Disney+. At this point in time, things like the Netflix shows, Agent Carter, and Agents of SHIELD aren’t canon anymore. So we have a new era in Marvel TV shows to talk about.

What Didn’t Work

I always start with the negative because I want to end with the positives of what has worked. I think that there are a few things that haven’t worked, and for me a lot of them have come from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. That show was the roughest for me, though it did have the best action.

Image Source: Disney

The big thing that didn’t work for me in Falcon and the Winter Soldier was that they removed a massive storyline and gave us some weird payoffs on things. The Flagsmasher storyline was supposed to have contained a story about a disease that was going to the GRC camps. Obviously when 2020 happened, they pulled that because they didn’t want to do a virus storyline. However, that removed the motivation of the Flagsmashers. And that left everything feeling bland in terms of a bad guy.

I also need to knock WandaVision a little bit, because it, along with Falcon and the Winter Soldier didn’t seemingly have much MCU payoff. Now, it might be that having watched the the shows we’ll find more Easter Eggs as the movies came out. But as someone who likes the speculation, I wanted more payoff on some of the things that the cast said and the comic nods thrown in there. Now, I will talk about what those shows were trying to do and did well in next section.

Finally, the Sharon Carter is the Power Broker in Madripoor. That was a twist that was kind of set-up, but then extremely poorly set-up that she was the Power Broker. It is something that makes no sense in what she was doing and how she first reacted when characters show up. So they really didn’t do her character anything that helped it make sense.

What Worked

Character development. Character development was huge throughout the three shows. Even Loki who is more developed as a character had some solid development. But really with Wanda and Vision we had amazing character development. We got to know them better than we had in the movies, and we got to see them grow together and then fall apart as, well, Wanda’s hex came undone. Even in Falcon and the Winter Soldier, we got to see some character development with them.

We also get a few interesting end credit scenes or big reveals. So, Loki is obviously the one that did this the best. Bringing in He Who Remains who is a version of Kang in the show in the final episode was amazing. That was the payoff that we were hoping for from WandaVision. But we also got the Skrull cameo in WandaVision, and the end credit scene where Wanda is going through the Darkhold. Both of those things are definitely setting up more. Falcon and the Winter Soldier had Val, but that was fun but felt lacking.

They got the look right for each of the shows. WandaVision obviously had the most to do with going through various decades and sitcoms, but they nailed it. Falcon and the Winter Soldier, that one was more standard Marvel. But those are more standard Marvel characters, and by that I mean no magic. I really feel like it would have made sense to be the first one to be released. And Loki gave us this weird bureaucracy vibe to it and a dated vibe. It set the tone for the TVA drones.

Image Source: Marvel

What Do I Expect For the Next Bunch

That’s an interesting question. We are getting a show with another character we know, after What If. Hawkeye is probably going to give Clint Barton a way to step away from being Hawkeye and set-up another Young Avenger. But I don’t expect it to have anything as big as Loki, probably more on par with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

But for What If, I’m not sure what they are going to do. It seems like something that they are just going to have fun with, and I’m cool with that. I wouldn’t be surprised if the movies will drop little nods to what the show does, but I doubt it shakes up Marvel too much.

After that we get new characters like Ms Marvel and She-Hulk. This is where things again get really interesting. We get new characters that are going to show up in the movies, eventually. Ms Marvel is definitely going to be in the Marvels movie with Captain Marvel and more. So are we going to get an origin story, are we going to get something that leads into the movies, I don’t know. I hope by the time Ms Marvel rolls around they’ll know that most people are watching the shows and continue to make them important like Loki was.

Favorite To Least

WandaVision
That one just worked for me. I like the changing aesthetic of the show for each decade and I love the character development. Even without Mephisto, it did still manage to set-up a lot.
Loki
So close between these top two. Loki gives us some Loki character development, but really drives forward Phase 4 more than any other show did. We got our Mephisto there with He Who Remains.
Falcon and the Winter Soldier
This one is kind of a miss for me. It had some powerful moments, but in the end, it felt like it didn’t progress Sam and Bucky much. We knew Sam was going to become Captain America at the end of Endgame, so a show where he steps back and then steps back up isn’t that great to me, plus missing plot.

What order do you put them in?

10 Minute Marvel S2E26: Loki Episode 6

Peder — Tue, 20 Jul 2021 13:08:53 +0000

It’s time to say good bye to our old friend of Loki as the 1st Season of Loki has wrapped up. Yes, I said first season as we had known that there was likely to be a second but it is now confirmed. And that’s good because there are a lot of questions left over from the finale of Loki. But we did get our biggest reveal from any of the shows in the finale of Loki. A character came into the show who we might see again in the future.

Also, questions or comments you might have, let me know them. I am always looking to improve, or new topics to cover. We have a few weeks before What If? starts, so what should I be checking out on Marvel Unlimited? I’m thinking of starting Secret Wars.

Peder — Tue, 13 Jul 2021 12:26:27 +0000

So much to talk to talk about this week. Episode 5 of Loki is out and tomorrow we get episode 6. I go with three different options that I think might happen at the end of Loki. Plus, Black Widow came out. I went and I saw it in theaters, how does this first Marvel film back after two years come together. Is it a good return or a dud?

10 Minute Marvel S2E24 – Loki Episode 4

Peder — Tue, 06 Jul 2021 12:52:34 +0000

Things really kick off on this episode of Loki. So there are a lot of spoilers in this episode of 10 Minute Marvel. But I was right, it answered a few questions and then left us with a whole lot more going into the final two episodes of the series. Plus we have a little bit of news as Marvel released images of a lot of toys for Spider-Man No Way Home. Those included a character who we thought might be in there, but not appears to be confirmed as a bigger player.

Questions or Comments

So we’re getting down to it. Who do we think is the person behind the Time-Keepers. Or is there nothing behind them and the TVA is just a machine that is running because it’s always been running? And how do Loki and all the Loki’s get out of their trapped in universe.

10 Minute Marvel S2E23: Loki Episode 3

Peder — Tue, 29 Jun 2021 12:42:36 +0000

It’s time to talk about Loki again. But also there is more to talk about before that. We have a second trailer for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and let me say, it looks fun. Plus two surprise cameos in the trailer. And something changed in WandaVision, more on that towards the end of the post, but what does it mean? And of course, like I said at the top, Loki Episode 3. Was this a filler episode, was it an homage to Doctor Who, what did you think of it?

So about that WandaVision change, I have more information on it now post recording of the episode. There is an artifact that runs across the whole scene from where they blocked out a change. I’ll be talking about this in next week. However, there are a few other things to note. They did in fact change more than just fixing an error from seeing the set background. They added in trees and in particular called out that Dr Strange’s theme was used in the credits. We’ll talk about what that means.
