#WereWolfByNight #EsterEggs #Marvel
Jack Russel’s Werewolf first appeared in Marvel Spotlight #2 in 1972. Jack Russell inherited a curse from his father. A curse that began on his 18th birthday, making it to where on every full moon Jack transforms into a Werewolf. In the comics he’s had interaction with chara cters such as Morbious, Spider-Woman, and Iron Man. And has served as a member of Marvel’s Midnight Suns.
Midnight Suns is a team of primarily supernatural Marvel heroes who go up against supernatural threats. A direction the MCU seems to be going in with characters like Werewolf, Moonknight, and Blade. In fact we made a video breaking down how Pmarvel is obviously building up to a Midnight Suns movie, with Blade, Werewolf by night, Moon Knight, Agatha Harkness, and-we guessed it-Elsa Bloodstone. [spaceballs when you’re right clip, I’ll find]
Now if Werewolf by Night sounds familiar, you’ve likely heard that his solo comic featured the first appearance of Moon knight. [clip, something funny with Stephen maybe]. There were lots of QR codes in the series that took you to his first appearance, 1975’s Werewolf by night number 32. People really bought 34 issues of comic about a werewolf. .
Doug: It was a different time.
Hopefully we’ll see Jack Russell’s Werewolf and Moonknight go toe to toe in a future MCU project, and then eventually work together in something like Midnight Suns. [clip]
Werewolf by Night is labeled as a “Marvel Studios Special Presentation” It is done in the vein of a classic 1930’s horror film. [clip]
But it takes place in the present day MCU. And according to Kevin Feige, we are being introduced to a new world that will play an important role in the future of the MCU. [clip]
The film opens with the Marvel Studios intro in black and white being interrupted by scratch marks and roars. Perhaps indicating that the Werewolf is clawing his way into the MCU.
We then see a drawing of the original six Avengers. Hawkeye, Black Widow, Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk, and Thor. I think it’s interesting that even though three of these characters have died, the MCU still showcases these six Avengers as the team.
We’ve also seen the original six featured recently in some knock off merch in She-Hulk. [clip]
This to me plays into the fact that we don’t really have a team of Avengers at the moment. [clip, Talos “where are the Avengers” Far From Home.]
Next we can see a drawing of a monster. This text near it translates to “a winged monster of virtue…effectively and completely corrupts.”
We can also see a drawing labeled faces of the moon. Of course in reference to a full moon triggering the transformation of Werewolves. The faces of the moon could also be a nod to Moon Knight. IN the comics, at one point-his powers were tied directly to the phases of the moon. But in later years the phases became more of a metaphor for his dissociative Identity disorder [clip],
More monsters arefeatured as the narrator talks about the monster hunters. Specifically the Bloodstones [who control the quote “powerful, supernatural, relic” the Bloodstone. ]
Now in the comics we have several red stones and gems that have come into play. Such as the Reality Stone and the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak. Then there are the Blood Stones, a group of five stones that the sorcerer, Belasco of the Corrupted, used to open portals between Earth and Limbo. Limbo being a dimension of demons we may have gotten a glimpse of in She-Hulk. [clip]
But we think the bloodstone is almost certainly based on the bloodgem. A gem that survived the collapse of one universe and traveled through time and space, eventually landing amidst the big bang of the 616 Marvel comics universe. [clip, Wong Big Bang Infinity Stones.]
The bloodgem eventually winds up on earth in 8250 B.C.
In fact if this bloodstone has a similar origi than it can tie directly into WandaVision, chaos magic, and the scarlet with.

The fact Jack did a full circle before sitting down in the crypt with Elsa, completely tickled me. I bet Doug does the same.
I loved that part, it definitely had me giggling
Where he does the dog scratching at the back of his ear (noticed when I watched and mentioned in the video) while trapped was a nice throw away scene. Excellent
I didn't even realize! 😂😭
He's had similar murder sprees following that too
I pointed this out when it happened and my dog was offended.
I was just happy that the werewolf had practical effects. Was legit not expecting that. It's a great design too -- makes a huge difference that you can see his face.
Eh, it had old planet of the apes vibes. Looked too much like a guy just wearing a suit
@@jacobsampsonis7782 I think that was almost sort of the point, he wasn't meant to be a big hulking werewolf, just himself with wolf features
Exactly what I was saying to my wife!!
He looked great!!
I actually loved this special. From all of Jack's dog like mannerisms to the black n white aesthetic to the blood and comedy. It truly was chefs kiss
FR
FR FR
@@lukekalisz1817 FR FR FR
So you actually think that werewolf design looked good? Looked fake a hell my friend, come on...
@@bluemeister22 tbh, generic werewolves design (humanoid long snout wolf) are boring.
I need more Elsa, Jack, and Man-Thing in the MCU. Easily my favorite phase 4 project alongside Moon Knight.
Same we need more of the supernatural 3
It’s up there for me, mine is still personally No Way Home, but I’m biased
Hoping Manny will show up in the GotG holiday special and meet Howard!
For me Loki
Moonknight
Hawkeye
@@rockyh1652 Hawkeye was my favorite D+ Show
I like that they were so committed to the black and white gag that they not only had the photographic grain and lint you on old movie film, but also the little burn in the top right corner that signaled a change in movie reels. Also Swamp thing and Man thing are said to be more likely inspired by much earlier comics, It (1940) or possibly The Heap (1942).
I love Film Noir and classic films so as a black and white film buff I popped for that burn on the film ...great catch and point . 👍
YES! I noticed that too. Glad others have as well. As a former projectionist myself I definitely noticed that immediately and had a nice chuckle to myself...
My father taught me about the little burn in the top right corner of the screen watching old movies. I caught it and was also wondering if anybody else was either old enough or educated enough to know what that was. I’m surprised Ryan didn’t comment on this point. It’s the little details that matter. Glad I wasn’t alone.
It's not just old timers that noticed it! Fans of the film version of Fight Club are also sure to have spotted the cigarette burns! :)
One point I caught was that the Hunters were introduced with their “Kill Counts” while Jack was introduced by “Number Of Deaths”. A small moment, but it immediately called him out as something different to me.
I thought the same thing. I was like no way he's responsible for killing 100 hunters!
I think the film being in black and white represents the monster hunters' black-and-white thinking regarding monsters. To them "monsters" are all bad and can't be good guys like Jack and Ted. The scene with Esla Bloodstone where the film turns to full colour is showing how her views on monsters has changed.
Yes 👏👏👏
That’s a nice observation.
The actual reason for them to use black and white , was that they could override the tv mature rating , as being shown in black and white, the blood wouldnt be visible 🙌
@@abhishek11446 i think theres more than one reason for things, all points are fair
@@mrcllz i wasnt contradicting the earlier theory ,that one was a more conceptual and cinematic one. The one i told was the technical reason behind the B&W. Its all a matter of perseptives👍.
Gael Garcia Bernal's Jack Russell is such a uniquely affable presence in the MCU, I hope we see more of him. He's like a drop of What We Do in the Shadows added to the whole superhero mix.
I can’t believe how little this was advertised given it’s probably the best thing in phase 4 😂 finally something original to the mcu
I am not a comic reader and the only character I knew from the cast is Elsa. The lack of advertisement made me did not prepare for this show and I did enjoy its horror aspect in the first half a lot by not knowing Man-Thing is a good guy or Jack is the werewolf 🤣
This wasn’t probably the best phase 4 project, this WAS the best project in phase 4
Could Kang aka He Who Remains have snatched the Bloodstone guards for the TVA? Also, Jack’s cape at the end in the morning looks like a classic dracula black and red cape
something I thought interesting with the cloak was that I believe Man-Thing picks it up on his way out of the observatory at the end when leaving to find Jack. Like they've done this before and he knew Jack would need clothes after he changes back.
The corridor paintings are very reminiscent of the Bayeux Tapestry - an embroidered cloth nearly 70 metres long and 50 centimetres tall that depicts the events leading up to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. It's a sequential art piece - like a giant comic book!
Was looking through the comments for someone else who’d spotted this
Not something many of our cousins across the pond would notice, you'd have to be a Brit, or French as it's a huge part of our heritage and school curriculum, 1066 and all that!
Actually Americans are exposed for like 5 minutes to the tapestry in our history classes on William the Conqueror.
Man-Thing needed the bloodstone removed to get even more powerful. That just shows how op he is. He has to be in order to be a guard of the Nexus gate.
What is Nexus gate?why manthing protect that?
Did enjoy it. Definitely was watching it going, “yep the violence is the real reason it’s black and white.” I’m sure Man-thing fans were happy for his introduction. Especially the fear him and his touch burns.
So fun to finally see him, been waiting for ages lol, I wonder if they’ll ever explain the Ragnarok statue.
@@elliotkeil6063 Maybe Jack saved him from The Grandmaster once?
@@elliotkeil6063 I literally cheered when I saw him. That was the first time I’ve done that in this phase so far.
Right, I can't believe Ryan didn't mention, "Whatever knows fear burns at the touch of... the Man-Thing!" and then he burns people to a crisp.
@@marvelboy74 I’m sure there’s such a high turn around on pumping videos out. There’s probably things that get missed. I forgot which channel I saw a video on Man-thing. But I recall the whole empathy and if you fear Man-thing, his touch will burn. But yeah, that first hunter that got burned. I was like oh damn, he ignited that guy like a mother fucker. He was like charcoal after soaked in lighter fluid.
Man-Thing also has a single Sunflower growing on his left shoulder in the final scene with Jack.
Looking forward to a Midnight Sons/Suns team. Hopefully Giacchino directs that too
Give him Blade and give Del Toro Midnight Sons
Yeah, a Midnight Sons movie with Guillermo del Toro and a metal based soundtrack would be great
@@MinotaurST87 I'm Sailvating thinking about that.
Werewolf by Night. ManThing. Monster hunters. All in glorious B&W ! Once the real monsters (the hunters)are slain, we get color and 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' playing at the end. Excellent soundtrack and stylish direction that pulls you in and along for a wonderful 60 minute ride. A++
Very impressed by Werewolf By Night, felt like Gael Garcia Bernal was channelling Anthony Perkins as well as particular canine habits.
Nobody has mentioned the “Special Presentation” set up is reminiscent of the 70s, when there were special presentations of films like Dr. Strange, and The Hulk movies. I also liked the idea of this being a 1970s repeat of a 1940s film.
Not gonna lie, outta ms. Marvel, and she hulk, this blew me away. Never knew who or what werewolf by night was, until today and I can’t wait to see more of him.
I agree MK and WBN way better than She Hulk and Ms Marvel. We need to remember though that they probably have different demographics and target audiences. The first two geared toward a more hardcore fan base the second two targeted at new and emerging markets.
Man-Thing with coffee in the morning, just the best. The transformation is perhaps one of my favorite scenes in the whole special. Do you think he knows so much about tourniquet because of the many limbs he tore or bit off by accident. In the first fight, the familiar Black Widow neck throw and the second fight, the music is a bit of a tribute to Psycho.
Oh, yeah, Elsa Bloodstone running in front of Man-Thing. Like Black Widow running in front of Hulk in the first Avengers movie.
I loved LOVED seeing the "PUNCHES" on the corner of the screen to indicate an upcoming scene edit or musical cue. Loved watching old movies as a kid and knowing that someone made these by hand, on film. Great touch to honor cinema history.
its more a cue for the projectionists in movie theaters to load up the next reel of film
I was a projectionist decades ago. I am happy to second what Skeven0 said. Often called "cigarette burns". If you havent seen FIGHT CLUB, they play a part in that film.
Honestly this is the best thing Marvel put out this entire phase. They really need to take experimental risks like this shoe more.
Werewolf by night is my new favorite McU project. It’s literally a masterpiece, prolly one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen even including stuff not in the MCU. Man Thing has always been my favorite Monster🥹 He is just perfection. I might cry. Good day
Maybe the director can make.the blade movie or future horror movies for MCU
@@Acord718 have Giacchino direct a Midnight Sons movie and add an R-rating and we are going to have a spectacular time
Wow, glad to hear you had a good time. I hope ur wishes be true ☺️💝☺️
Man-Thing ain't really that special.
Werewolf by Night was perfect. I really loved it.
I like that in addition to the added "film grain" they include reel marks at approximately every 15 mins like it was being shown on a projector. SO, 55 or 56 things?
One of the vampires mounted on the wall was likely Baron Blood from the Invaders.
I loved that Man-Thing is finally in full view in the MCU…he was on the statue in Thor 3, on the Game Master’s battle world. Along with Aries, Beta Ray Bill and the Hulk.
oh man ...if that was Baron Blood I would def geek out...especially if they pay homage to how Baron Blood was killed. The first comic I ever read (even though it was in book form all presented together) was Captain America versus Baron Blood. At the end Capt uses his shield (vibranium) to chop off Baron Bloods head.
I did some digging, and yes, it may be his head on the wall san his mask.
Is it just me or did the soldiers look a lot like TVA hunter agents? Even the weapons they used looked like the ones in Loki
YESSSSSSS I FELT THIS VIBEEEE
Bloodstone having reality stone powers makes sense. It could manipulate reality to make the monsters transform.
But it's not on the same power level like the Reality stone
Great ep for Doug, and I loved Werewolf by Night. Thought it was an awesome idea and didn't expect the storyline at all. Man Thing was an incredible reveal. So badass!
I'm REALLY glad I went blind into WBN as Man-Thing surprised the hell outta me!
Overall, I love the mythology and the most deadliest game of it all. Easily a top 3 Phase 4 project.
ALSO also, the Doug/Ryan high five NEVER fails to touch & make me laugh! 😅
I know nothing about this character and Moonknight ...its fun learning their backstory.
Elsa implied that she has had training but not her father’s. I think she might be a Black Widow. She does a classic Widow move on the Scottish guy and the scene where Ted is chasing her looks a lot like the scene in Avengers where Hulk chases Nat after his transformation.
When we were watching it with my friends tonight, I said I got the feel that she was a pragmatic and resourceful fighter. My friend said she fights a lot like Buffy. Cannot unsee the Slayer style after that. :D Wonder if she hooks into Blade and the vampire stories?
Absolutely loved it. Definitely need more Bloodstone, Man Thing, and Jack. Especially more Man Thing and Bloodstone. Hopefully we can see them in Blade.
Elsa has a little Jessica Jones vibe going on, I think. Because of the way she talks, the ways she expressed disgust when step-mom said Ulysses was a 'lover without equal'... And also the fact that Laura Donnelly looks like the doppelganger of Krysten Ritter.
When Jack and Elsa were locked in the mausoleum, you see a marker with the name: Jacob Howell Mcdougall. A reference to Jacob Balcom and Matt Howell who run a “Werewolf By Night” Podcast.
What a tremendous piece of cinema. Hopefully Marvel will do more with these characters
Doug being so sensitive during this video recap was... perfect. I feel like he must have loved the show, as well 🥰
This is how you do the Dark Universe right. Good job!
A nice touch that added to the feel of the movie was the reel change circles up in the corner. All it needed was film scratches and skips to complete the effect.
Also now that we have Man-Thing, we can now have the best buddy team up in the Marvel Universe, Man-Thing and Howard the Duck.
They also had a single circle later on in the show, which is how you signal where a break in the film happened.
I would love to see a super brutal fight scene in Deadpool III that had deadpool break the fourth wall to pull a black and white filter over the scene and explain he’s gotta maintain a lower rating now that he’s part of the MCU. Super meta.😂
A great lover letter to those classic Universal monsters. I just saw it twice now. I'm very excited to see more supernatural side in the MCU after watching this special. Hell, I hope we get more of these specials in the future.
It's a very interesting coincidence that Werewolf by Night was released the day after Daredevil's cameo in She Hulk, given that Jack and Matt's fights were so similar - lots of goons, tight space, moody lighting, many flippy-dippies.
Also alleyway fighting
Well you see, goons fight only for the paycheck. Henchmen otherwise fight for a cause
Hopefully the gore and violence means Disney is getting more comfortable with the violent more adult content and themes and we get ....Gasp ...could it be that all our hopes and dreams are coming true ... the return of the Punisher.
It's not coincidence, okay.
the way you used that meme "be careful were you fall" was so hilarious XD
I loved the show. It was amazing. Loved that even the werewolf makeup felt old timey
It was a little too old timey. It had old planet of the apes vibes
In the "words" of The Collector, "Magnificent! Magnificent!"!
Elsa cuts off the one hunters forearm/hand, and they did that a lot like Obi Wan cutting of the guys arm in that bar on Tattooine in New Hope, like very clearly a prop arm...and then she flipped him over and blood went _everywhere_ . Kind of a huge tonal shift right there in a very cool way.
Werewolf by Night is forever iconic!!! 🌕🐺
is it me or its just that the bloodstone guards look like TVA agents? the uniform? their batons? could Kang have gotten idea from this?
Jack’s makeup is very reminiscent of Dia de los Muertos makeup which is the first thing I thought when he said he was honoring his ancestors ❤ Gael Garcia Bernal is Mexican and he’s also the voice of Hector in Coco which is a cute Disney connection
“Whoever feels fear shall burn at the touch of The Man Thing!”
It did look like Ted was zapping people out of the universe like pruning in Loki. And the crimson gem is pronounced {sit-ter-ak}, at least it was back in the X-Men animated series. Another great video.
Just like the fight in the Deadpool Illustrated storyline. I think Man-Thing will be how Deadpool & Logan end up in the MCU.
That Gorr the god butcher image was way more interesting than anything we saw in love and thunder.
It had comic accurate Gorr and alluded to a much better version of the fight between Gorr and Thor.
Yeah I don’t think I’ll get over how much that movie wasted the Gorr story and Christian Bale.
I agree this one hour special was way better than the $20 I wasted on Love and Thunder.
Hope it leads to Midnight Suns. Best MCU phase 4 project
This is absolutely the best thing coming out of phase four hands down and it was barely an hour.
Bro just read my mind and typed it for me
Stop disrespecting Shang Chi. These 2 properties imo were the best of Phase 4. But I definitely agree with you lol. Most of phase 4 has been lackluster and filler at best.
Cringe af
Shang chi, moon knight and this were definetly thr best.
@@BlackLeonardoMusic not disrespecting anything but the reason why I said what I said is bcuz this actually shows marvel/mcu actually doing something different and going out there norm. I’ve seen Shang chi done before in the mcu tbh.
I liked the little detail of the visual cue to change reels they put in. For those of you who have no idea of which I speak, it was the oval in the upper right of your screen. That when the protectionist would switch the reels in movies
Called cue marks. 1 to tell the projectionist start the next reel and the second to mark the end of the first reel.
I had to rewind that part, I was confused on what that ones. Thought the guy was holding an emblem or something. Good to know tho
If only Jack’s werewolf looks like Hugh Jackman’s werewolf from the Van Helsing movie
I really appreciate Doug speaking truth to power about Grandpa Joe.
I was ready for this break down 😅 such a great special. 10/ 10 well filmed funny gory in a classy way excellent.
Surely someone said this, but all 5 weapons shown with the historic hunters appear during the special, with the crossbow instead being the hand device on Liorn. Elsa is shown besting/killing all the other hunters and Jack's mother tongue is Spanish, shown when he wakes up in the cage muttering something like: "damn, it can't be possible" or something to the effect of "damn, this can't be happening".
Two Easter eggs you missed; The narrator in the opening says"In our modern world, this is WHERE MONSTERS DWELL". A reference to the 70's Marvel comic of the same name.
And, along with the classic B&W look, every 15 minutes there was a circle in the upper right corner of the screen for an instant. this was the (now obsolete) signal to the projectionist for a reel change.
Loved it, can't wait for a midnight sun's! It'd be awesome! Moon Knight, Blade, Werewolf by Night, Manthing, Ghost Rider, Morbius, Black night, Elsa Bloodstone, Dr. Strange. It'd be crazy
The blood gem could play a cool role in the future, because it brings out the true monster. Which means it could trigger Hulk, She-Hulk and Abomination to their “true” form.
That’s not how it works
They're not supernatural monsters.
@@emmanuelgomes7410 it’s Kevin Feige who decides how it works. It would make sense in the MCU. He could turn it into Kaiburr crystal from Star Wars - Splinter of a Minds Eye if he he wants.
i dunno, those u named dont need help to transform, they do all the time
@@mrcllz yeah but especially with World War Hulk looming the Hills we have will get a Super Sayajin Power Boost at some point.
It was the best episode yet of the Disney + MARVEL series. Satisfying for the content allowed, I could do with more next time. A constructed tale in decent time to involve enough exposition to clue you in on the proceedings moving the story forward using lore any film buff would find familiar. Black and white gives it a cinematic field of Abbott and Costello meets Lon Chaney. In black and white the camera is able to let actors be dramatic in close-ups, where you see what they see by their expressions. When the acting is good It's so exhilarating. Cut the corpse reading the will last testament and hunt out and it's 🤌🏽
Man Thing was the former champion of the Grandmaster in Thor Ragnarok so maybe that's why he wasn't the Guardian
If we get a howling commandos monsters special next year I will die happy.
I thought the Ulysses Bloodstone corpse puppet bore a striking resemblance to Marvel's version of the Frankenstein monster
Wish they went more in depth with the relationship between Man-Thing and Jack, but I’m very happy they brought in the color in the end to have them possibly returning to our known cast in color in the mcu !
I think it’s coming in the next few months.
@@tompatchak8706 You mean that they meet our other heroes or that they get in depth between Man-Thing and Jack ?
@@_TheViewer_ both? I mean I’d like to see it, and I’ve read stuff about the more supernatural street level characters coming. But till after the new year.
Fingers crossed we get more WBN and Man Thing
@@tompatchak8706 Count me in, fingers crossed !
Since Man-Thing can so easily bring them into the Nexus or the MCU-Multiverse, I would wonder if they don’t use the chance to bring them in before Kang Dynasty.
@@_TheViewer_ I’m thinking the same thing. Kang is cool , but doesn’t do much for me
This was great. Just what I needed. The only thing missing was Vincent price
the narrotors voice in the intro was a definite homage.
Did those stun wands the monster hunter compound were using not look like Time Variance Authority stun wands to anyone else?
Re: man thing and the nexus of all realities. In wandavision they teased the fact that Wanda is a nexus being but never followed up on that in MoM. Maybe this will come up in the future with Kang and now Man Tbing.
2 Easter eggs:
1. The white circles that flash every now and again are homage to cigarette burns. Way back in black and white film era filmmakers smoked so much that it damaged the film from the cameras making those white circles.
2. Elsa aka Laura Donnelly played a werewolf herself and Merlin's love interest way back in 2009 in BBC Merlin.
One thing you missed: there's a "cigarette burn" sequence, at least two (I think only two). The first was just after the initial encounter between the axe guy and Elsa. The second was the scene where they were captured. These are marks in the top right of the frame meant to indicate in old theaters when to change the reels. Obviously, this one was artificially inserted to mimic old film movies. Nice touch, chef's kiss.
Gael Garcia is one of Mexico's finest exports. Fun fact, him and Diego Luna from Andor both were child soap actors in the same and both are doing amazing things outside Televisa, not an easy task, just ask the rest of the Mexican child actors from the 90's ...
The Sunflower is the state flower of Kansas, an apt choice as we hear Somewhere over the Rainbow.
It’s your mom gets me every time 😂
Man-Thing is officially one of the most powerful characters in the MCU now... He has had the ability to destroy all reality in the comics. Only Eternity and, perhaps, the Celestials would surpass his power. Franklin Richards was hinted at but not been named or shown..
Your cut aways to your wordplay are amazing/spot on ❤
here I go again:
Best Marvel/Disney+ thing ever.
should do a whole series or at least a full
That special was awesome! I enjoyed it a ton
Man-Thing is so sweet, instant favourite
If you noticed, the black and white sequence has the “change the reel” markers that old movies used to have
Great chapter Ryan, one of of your best so far! 🙌🏻
I just watched it and it's awesome. Easily one of the best of 2022.
just finished 'werewolf by night' and it was SO good. I had absolutely no idea what it was going to be about but oh man how much I end up loving it. Looks like Marvel finally did something good after a long time.
Don't think that vampire is Dracula its more like Nosferatu or his species of ancient vampire. Its fangs are at the front and not in the K9 position like Dracula. Also I know you said that the tapestry character looked like the comic Gorr, but as this is MCU and we've seen what Gorr looks in MCU, have to say it looks identical to Tarn the uncaring of Aarakko from the X-men comics. Must say this show impressed me how it totally match the genre and feel it was aiming for of the classic B&W monster movies of the era and tbh (obviously down to modern makeup, prosthetics and cgi) improved on them to a degree. Can clearly see marvel moving on with this multi-pronged approach covering as many genres as they can. Sci-fi space, magic and fantasy, horror, action adventure, sitcom, adult viewing only (hoping this will be what deadpool is) and the classic Superhero stories. So they literally have all bases covered content wise. IMO phase 4 is test the waters phase see what works and not multiverse so much as multigenre. Obviously to see which ones land and are gonna make them the money.
Universal Pictures has tried a couple of times without success to relaunch the Universal Monsters Universe. With their Halloween Special, the MCU shows them exactly how it is done.
Thanks Ryan for having the best take on Werewolf by Night!
Man thing was the highlight of the whole show!
How many fellow history geeks caught the modified Bayeux Tapestry as the monster mural in the hallway at the beginning?
Such good breakdowns and I love Doug so much
Always appreciate your point of view. Your videos are top notch 😎
I was surprised this was out so soon. I really liked it. Always happy to see more Doug!
It's not a coincidence in my opinion but anybody else noticed werewolf by night came out the same night there was an actual full moon out 🌕
This is by far the best Phase 4 project to date
Another detail: the entrance frescos were clearly inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry.
Great analysis as always
I loved this so much!! Want more supernatural stuff in marvel. Can’t wait to see where it goes next
Excellent job Ryan
When Verussa is saying how many kills they all have, when she reaches Jack she instead says deaths, another foreshadowing he is a monster.
Doug is the best. I especially love his dwarven name.
7:44 on the box/coffin it says "this ENDS up" - I laughed at it when I saw it, so I remembered it.
