    Default Marvel animation and getting your MCU/comic fix

    So, I'm really looking forward to the What If? series. I definitely think this has potential to be awesome and I'm hoping and thinking that Marvel does more animated projects as well. Both tied to the MCU and something else too. The possibilities are endless. But, what to do while you're waiting for the next show/movie? For me, to get my fix, I'm watching the animated shows on D+. I've already watched the X-Men animated series and I thought that was great overall, but then the animation took a nose dive in the final seasons. Plus the VA for Gambit was really bad in the later seasons. So, I'm watching the others in order that they were released. I'm watching Spider-Woman. It's neat watching an older series seeing how the animation has evolved since then. So, the older series are charming. So, what do you do to get your Marvel fix while waiting for the next MCU thing? And of the animated shows, which one(s) did you like?

    GOTG animated series and shorts are pretty damn good. Plus I'm watching Silver Surfer and Fantastic Four.

    Best Marvel Animation:
    Spectacular Spider-Man tv series
    Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
    Hulk vs Wolverine/Thor
    Wolverine and the X-Men
    Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes
    Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow
    Planet Hulk
    Thor: Tales of Asgard
    Iron Man (anime)
    Iron Man: Rise of Technovore
    Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher
    Iron Man: Armored Adventures

    I'd also suggest checking out the motion comics, despite a lot of fans hating that style of animation. Particularly:
    Iron Man: Extremis
    Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers
    Wolverine: Origin
    Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk
    Wolverine Versus Sabretooth

    I need to finish my GOTG but I've re-watched Silver Surfer twice now. I love Marvel Cosmic.

    At the moment i'm re-watching the Kang the Conqueror arc in Earth Mightiest Heroes. I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

    Yeah i haven't gotten thru all the seasons of GOTG yet but I like what I've seen so far. Surfer definitely catches that Marvel cosmic vibe and Kirbyesque style.

    In agreement with you about both Spectacular Spider-Man & the anime version of Iron Man




    And I know there's no competition, but I'd also include these beloved relics from the past:

    • The Marvel Super Heroes '66

    • Spider-Man '67

    Where’s the love for the M.O.D.O.K. cartoon on Hulu?

    Also, I still love Spider-Man from ‘67. The Ralph Bakshi-run 2nd and 3rd seasons with the Rocket Robin Hood recycled animations are better than most probably remember, believe it or not.

    I liked the style of Mysterio’s illusions used against Spidey in Far From Home. The main sequence when Spidey deals with the skeletons seemed to be a nod to those 2nd and 3rd seasons of the Bakshi Spider-Man. The colors were very similar.

    Default MCU What if? and Marvel animation

    yeah I'm almost through the Fantastic Four cartoon from 1994 and it's pretty enjoyable. Love the Doctor Doom character in this one.
