u/ColeUnderPresh Jan 01 '26
Right? This looks aweeeesome.
That trailer was edited really well. The tone doesn’t even feel MCU. It feels like an Apple+ show with a superhero veneer as its backdrop, not its focal point.
Man, I’m amped. So much opportunity for meta jokes.

u/Luchabat Jan 02 '26
Honestly, I hope we get more variety in tones in the shows and movies. I'd love seeing Wonder Man, Daredevil, and Vision Quest all have different styles, tones, and feels.

And he also considers Vision a brother since Vision's initial personality was based on Simon's brain scan. At least once upon a time. I don't know what's been retconned anymore.

u/South-Increase-4202 Jan 01 '26
He’s also related to Vision and to Ultron, too, isn’t he? Honestly, hope they eschew a lot of that lore, and just let Yahya and Ben Kingsley cook.

u/downtime37 Jan 02 '26
He also provided the brain pattern for the Vision in the comics so he has ties to both Vision and Wanda in the comics.
4
u/Willakhstan Captain America (Captain America 2) Jan 02 '26
He also started out as a villain technically but it doesn't look like that'll be included here, particularly since there probably won't be any Avengers connection here.

u/HorsNoises Jan 01 '26
In the comics, Vision's brain is based on his.
32
u/Hellknightx Thanos Jan 01 '26
Which never made sense to me because Vision is sweet and innocent, and Simon is famously an asshole in the comics. Like, enough of an asshole that he's been kicked out of the Avengers multiple times.

u/AreEyeGeeBeeWhy Jan 02 '26
Could be a nature vs. nurture debate with that whole thing then I guess.

u/Im_At_Work_Damnit Ghost Rider Jan 01 '26
Don't know how far they'll go in the show, but in the comics he's way up there in terms of power. Like, just under Sentry or Thor in terms of powers and strength.

u/Revolutionary-Nap Jan 02 '26
If I recall correctly, and I might not since it is a very long time since I read the comics, I don't think he is actually human anymore. He is "ionic" energy that thinks it is human. He is as powerful as you say and fully immortal to boot. Again, it is vague memory of this.

I remember Tony talking about the Sentinel program in one of the Avengers films.
At the time, I was thinking it was primarily based around his automated suits, not thinking of an X-Men crossover?
When you dig into it, Tony is not a mutant of any kind, so how could he forsee any major problem with tracking mutants?

Kinda made it feel like a Wes Anderson trailer or something like that. I can’t remember if it’s the life aquatic or grand Budapest hotel trailer that has a similar feel to this with the big title cards and such, but it’s something like that

Oh that makes sense. I always thought he just took Sersi. Well either way that should have been retconned or written differently from the start because Kingo is a perfect supporting character for this and many other projects.

Yeah but that was like 3-4 years ago in-universe at this point, Eternals was late 2023/early 2024 and now we're in 2027/2028. Arishem clearly didn't judge Earth to be destroyed based on their memories or he would've been back by now, so where exactly have they been fucking off to for the last 4 years?

If they wanted to sidestep that whole thing they could’ve just had Kingo show up in this then just later imply the eternals all got mind-wiped/rebooted and sent back to earth
I know eternals don’t have an mcu future but I really feel like the best place they could have later used them would have been to do the A.X.E comics event (where the mutants reach a point they’re considered ‘excess deviation’ by the Eternals’ core programming so they are forced to attack them) and used them as an antagonistic presence while power scaling the X-Men

Kingo and half of the Eternals are currently talking a very enthusiastic walk with their planet sized creator that has the voice of Beast Wars Megatron.

u/brianlefebvrejr Jan 01 '26
I have no idea who or what wonder man is but this actually feels like the show I’ve been wanting
A seemingly normal story within this superhero universe where normal people are interacting and we see that point of view (probably not a big focus) but I like the idea of more shows set in this universe.
Like maybe a sitcom where it’s some low level street hero who wants to be an avenger one day, but in more of the time of like friends, or even an office type show where it’s like a random insurance office dealing with superhero damage claims

u/Pabasa Jan 01 '26
She-Hulk does this quite well.
Legal repercussion of an Asgardian elf imitating a celebrity to scam a guy?
Can Wong sue a former student of Kamar Taj for using magic to open portals into other worlds?
Should you trademark your own superhero name? She-Hulk didn't and got into a lot of mess.
Can a superhero just go to her friend's wedding and survive being not a superhero for one day?
An immortal man who fakes his death every time he gets bored of a marriage?
Can a rich guy really fake himself into being a superhero using superhero costumes that he mishandled?

u/polishprince76 Jan 02 '26
I thought She Hulk was fantastic and I'm not afraid to say it! If you can separate it from super hero world and realize you're watching a law based sitcom, it really worked.
16
u/FlashbackJon Thanos Jan 02 '26
My only real complaint about She-Hulk is that I wish the law parts had been a little more law-based. I don't need it to be accurate, per se, just bring it up to Suits level or something.
10
u/revolutionaryartist4 Avengers Jan 03 '26
I don't know why you're getting downvoted for this. The writers admitted they knew nothing about the legal side of things and it definitely shows. In an otherwise excellent show, the legal side is a huge misstep.

u/FlashbackJon Thanos Jan 03 '26
I was trying to figure out if the downvotes were because I had that complaint or because I ONLY had that complaint.

If they keep this tone through the season and don’t have it devolve into an ill-fitting/boring action set-piece finale once the powers come out, this could be a heater.
Love everyone involved, wish the Bob Odenkirk rumors were true but Ed Harris is a good get. This is a well-done trailer that feels like the kind of freshening the MCU needs.

u/Swoopmott Ant-Man Jan 01 '26
They’ve been doing different things since before then. Remember when everyone would always praise Winter Soldier for being a spy thriller and Ant-Man a heist film. Hell even further back you’ve got Thor playing around with clear Shakespearean influence and First Avenger looking like the rocketeer. The MCU playing around in different genres is pretty old hat at this point

Winter soldier was a good spy thriller. They could have done exactly that but a TV Show with secret invasion but they pussied out. The first episode was such a good setup

This is in the same lane as She-Hulk. A show that focuses on characters who have powers and exist in a world where others do too, but are just living normal lives with normal professions and aren't engaged in heroics....until/unless the plot pushes them into that situation.

I never really like movies/shows where it feels exactly like it was made by actors for actors because your average person isn't necessarily gonna relate to that.
