This week, Mike and Adrian are breaking down why Avengers Doomsday is about to completely shatter the MCU timeline. With San Diego Comic-Con around the corner, we are dissecting the leaked trailer details, the insane 2-hour and 45-minute runtime, and Robert Downey Jr. taking up the mask as Doctor Doom. Plus, DC cannot catch a break as The Batman Part II gets pushed back all the way to 2028. Are these massive superhero movie delays saving the cinematic universes or totally killing fan hype?
Then, we dive straight into the animation arena to give our completely honest, unfiltered review of X-Men '97 Season 2, Episode 5. Wolverine finally gets his adamantium back on his bones, but did this Weapon X storyline feel way too rushed, or are they successfully setting up a massive Apocalypse Horseman arrival?
For our main comic lore segments, we are asking the ultimate question: Who the fuck is Emma Frost? We track the White Queen from her ruthless Hellfire Club origins to surviving the absolute genocide of Genosha and triggering her organic diamond mutation. We also check back into the Road to Secret Wars to reveal why Valeria Richards is officially the smartest character in the Marvel Universe, followed by an epic Hidden Gem breakdown of the brutal Soviet super-soldier Omega Red. We close out the show by answering our favorite intern comments from TikTok and YouTube.
