"Marvel Rising" News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

You're right, it was "Kevin"'s death that Gwen is framed for. It took me a while to find that mentioned somewhere.

Wasn't there a note somewhere that Kevin looked like Patriot? If that turns out true, I think he might just have been Kevin. I had been wondering about the status of Spidey in this world though. They haven't mentioned him at all.

Some of the write-ups of the SDCC panel said he was a dead-ringer for Peter.

It would be kind of hilarious if there's a flashback and he's voiced by Robbie Daymond .

I know they've mentioned that Patriot idolizes Cap, so I'm curious if any other major heroes might show up in this.

The animation is definitely what's important to me but the merch justifies its existence financially. I wonder if there will be more than dolls and comics.

Altogether, I'm kind of surprised this isn't leading into a full-blown cartoon so far (vs. the upcoming DC Super Hero Girls reboot) .

Okay. I had skipped over all of the shorts' summaries and I must have just seen the P when I glimpsed it for a few seconds..

Another screenshot. That might be Peter Kevin on the right.

Looks like she's showing off her powers and costume to him (I assume from the filter that it's a flashback)...maybe he was her Ganke/Ned ?

Another featurette was released. This time, for Squirrel Girl.

Maybe if the movie does well in ratings, and the merchandise sells, it could lead to a full blown show.

On a different note, and I know I'm late when saying this, but I am somewhat surprised that this movie is airing on Disney XD. It has elements of tween girl shows that can fit right in on Disney Channel.

This kind of reminds me of the Vixen series on CWSeed where the actress cast in a major comic book role makes their debut in animation before they actually get to play the character in live-action .

So far it seems like Disney XD is still home to all the Marvel cartoons.

I might be wrong but I believe I saw the Initiation shorts listed for XD while the Secret Warriors movie was listed for Disney Channel. Who knows if that will actually be the case but it would be a shame if Marvel Rising doesn't make it to the main Disney Channel audience.

*Update*

The AV Club gave the shorts a B-.

Nice to see a more on-point Ms. Marvel then in Marvel's Spider-Man .

I thought this was pretty cool - Marvel Entertainment Partners with Young Storytellers For the Brand-New Animated Project Marvel Rising.

Marvel and the Young Storytellers group are offering middle school students the chance to write scripts featuring the Marvel Rising characters, which will be then performed by some of the cast and available online in the Fall.

The article also mentions the "Initiation" animated shorts will be released online on Marvel HQ on August 14th (a day after they premiere on TV), and the movie premiering in the Fall is 80 minutes long.

 

[Rick Jones]

80 minutes seems about right for the length of a Direct to video movie.

That does sound cool! Looking forward to seeing what they come up with .

For reference, most Marvel and DC Animated Features are around 75-80 minutes .

Ah, our first Marvel product on Disney Channel. Interesting...

Being mistaken for a murderer and hunted by the police? That's the Spider-Luck for you .

It'll be nice to see more of Gwen's civilian life .

I kinda assumed Quake and Patriot had already figured out her identity by the time they catch her, but it sounds like it happens afterwards here .

 

[SweetShop209]

If they're going to air the movie first on Disney Channel, then why not also air the shorts first on Disney Channel?

They will probably wait until right before the movie to start airing the shorts on Disney Channel. We will see. I don't imagine that they won't eventually air there.

Kind of reminds me of Big Hero 6 in a way .

New featurette, "Who is Quake?".
