Episode #285: Requiem for An Industry

...Alright, people, look - I'm not gonna lie to you, this is a bit of a dark episode. But, nevertheless the Mighty Warriors Three Marvel Podcast are here to guide you through it. In the news this week, after taking a brief aside to discuss the recent hiring of James Gunn by DC and Warner Bros., interim general manager Bry-Bry, Tazer, and Ol' Man Whirlyburger Jon discuss the recent cancellations of both Iron Fist and Luke Cage on Netflix and the future of these franchises, and others, as Disney debuts their own streaming app later next year. We also discuss the recently-announced line-up for Marvel Comics upcoming relaunch of Guardians of the Galaxy next year, and the Chuck Wendig firing fiasco. Meanwhile, in reviews, Jon keeps it underground with The Punisher #2, Bry-Bry laments the end of Old Man Frank Castle in Old Man Logan Annual #1, and Tazer falls on the sword of having seen Venom in theaters and offers up his take on the movie outside of a dedicated review - is it as bad as we all thought it to be? Stick around to find out, and before you go remember to follow us on Facebook at The Mighty Warriors Three Marvel Podcast, subscribe to us on iTunes, perhaps leave a kind word in review and rate us favorably, and join us again next time for a hopefully more sunshine-y installment wherein we review...Daredevil season 3. ...Okay, so we're staying in the dark for a little while longer - sue us.

Never mind. We begin our episode by marveling at Chris Evan, saluting the man for having made the role of Steve Rogers his own as he says his goodbye to the role he helped make famous.

As we transition into reviews, Bry-Bry and Tazer throw their comic books IN THE TRAAAAASH! We pick-up the slack around these here parts and give our takes on the latest seasons of both Luke Cage and Iron Fist - the Heroes for Hire! What did we like about each season?
