    Lost its pace only a few episodes in and never really gave characters their full development that they should’ve had. Hopefully they can salvage it with a good season 2, but regardless of that it just feels like a Robot Chicken “Best of M.O.D.O.K.” compilation on their YouTube channel with a ton of filler.

    Bo-ring. Yeah there are a lot of subtle callouts to other movies and media, but it doesn't make an ENTERTAINING whole. Lots of stuff happens, but I didn't really care about it because it was just a jumble of ideas that didn't have any cohesive link, which makes sense as the skit comedy robot chicken crew were powering this and they don't seem to know how to do a non-skit show.

MODOK confirmed that I'm robot-chickened out. Seth green needs to find a new horizon and set a course for THAT. MODOK would have been better as a 3D animated cartoon or a traditional animation show with much better writing. I had no interest in finishing the series and went back to catching up on the infinitely better show Mythic Quest. I gave this a 5 strictly because of Patton Oswalt leaving it all on the (virtual) stage, but the SHOW deserved a 3 or so if judged on its meager merits. Expand

    M.0.D.0.K. Has the same type of humor as family guy but far less jokes land. The animation is pleasant to look at and the characters are decent.

    Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K. suffers from not only being not as funny as it should be, but it also pumps the fan service gags instead of actually developing the world around its star supervillain.

    Mostly, though, this is a cool-looking, cheerfully dark, oddball adult comedy with great voice work by the brilliant cast and strong writing in every episode. By the time we get to the shocking final episode of the first season, we’re already primed for more “M.O.D.O.K.”

    Marvel dives big head first into the Adult Swim sandbox with "M.O.D.O.K.," a stop-motion animation series that seeks hilarity in exploring the lighter side of one of the more ridiculous denizens of the comics. While the show -- decidedly not for kids -- should amuse those steeped in comic-book trivia, the kick of doing something different is offset by the sheer weirdness of the effort.
