Thor Corps and More! | Chapter 281

from Distance NERDing

The multiverse got weirder this week, and we're here for every glorious second of it! Yung Phil, Jahmez, SHDU, and the crew break down the latest Marvel, DC, Star Wars, animation, gaming, and comic book news while debating everything from Avengers: Doomsday LEGO spoilers to whether Avatar: The Last Airbender belongs on the big screen. We also dive into the return of Doctor Who, Ghostbusters, Firefly, Fallout, G.I. Joe, and more. Plus, the running campaign to convince everyone to read Dungeon Crawler Carl continues… and somehow SHDU still hasn't read it. At this point we're convinced Princess Donut has personally blacklisted him. ⏱️ Timestamps & Topics 00:00 - Welcome to Chapter 281 & what's on deck 05:00 - Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse heads to IMAX 08:00 - X-Men '97 gets a brighter future 12:00 - Sabrina Carpenter joins the X-Men rumor mill 15:00 - LEGO may have spoiled Avengers: Doomsday 19:00 - Everyone dies…?
