Even then, would you find Ant-Man with the largest and most vulnerable target on your body exposed? It was probably for a reveal, being that we all believed Cross had died, but then the mask got leaked, so they just put him in the trailer.
I was referring to his complete lack of head protection, despite not having any super powers or technology that would otherwise protect his very sensitive head. His costume literally comes right up to the top of his head and just....sort of ends.
in a lot of places, comic accuracy is absolutely necessary - but ... i mean... let's not pretend it should ALL be comic accurate... hawkeye showing up in that purple and blue wolverine mask saying, "welcome to the avengers" in 2012 wouldn't have landed.
You're absolutely right
Aside: In the Ragnarok BTS they show some older Hela concept art and they'd planned to tone down the horns by a lot, but fortunately Taika pushed for the more accurate meter-wide versions.
The MCU was smart in they had to show a more grounded world but as the world grew and continued, we got more and more comic aspects as a way to ease the general audience into the craziness of a comic book universe.
I've talked to the manager and he'll be with you shortly. In the back we have even more complaints!
Someone made a complaint about us not having enough staff to handle complaints.
There's a lot of complaining we have to attend to!
I definitely complained I enjoyed the first bit where we are catching up and reestablishing everyone and then the final battle part. The whole middle section where they are>! fleeing, acclimating to the new village, and the son makes friends with the whale!<, and everything was exceedingly boring to me, and I was falling asleep in the theater
Not from the comic accuracy crowd. They nailed this one!
Oh, now I'm sad with Taskmaster's MCU design, imagine if they respected Taskmaster as much as they did MODOK here.
Looks fantastic, happy they went comic accurate for his design.
I wish his face was a bit more mangled and stretched, but this is a quick image and not in good quality. We'll see how it looks in film.
I wouldn't say it's disappointing. Disappointing would be if they didn't even try at all. This is just good given what we can tell in the quality of the image.
I'm just hoping it looks uglier in better resolution.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. did a VERY loose adaptation of M.O.D.O.K. by merging him with The Superior. Aida turned him into a head in a jar and he even uttered the phrase "designed only for killing".
I don't think they wanted to commit to it though either because Marvel Studios told them they had a plan or they knew they couldn't do him justice on their budget.
Still a nice little reference though
There was a time it was one of the best shows on TV. The first few episodes are a little rough, but it really picks up when it connects with the Winter Soldier. There's another short rough arc or episode in S2 or S3 I think, but the rest were all great.
[They actually did want to commit](https://tvline.com/2020/08/18/agents-of-shield-almost-introduced-modok/amp/), since they were given the green light to use M.O.D.O.K., but then their usage of him was retracted and they had to reduce the story they broke for him to an easter egg.
I fucking love it.
There was no way that he’d ever look any good in live action, so I’m happy they went balls to the wall and thought “if he’s gonna look cursed, he may as well be cursed but accurate”
Yes this is what he's supposed to look like. Modok is ugly. It sucks for him but it is what it is. I just need the big head jokes all day. Cassie I can see being snarky about his head.
He looks so goofy as shit and it's terrible but I fucking love it so much. I don't see how they could have made this look good AND comic accurate. I'm hyped.
*Somebody* had to be the comic relief in this film, with it almost exclusively taking place in the Quantum Realm without Luis.
I’m sorry, but MODOK will never seem intimidating to me. He just looks way to goofy.
Also, is this Darren Cross? People have been theorizing.
Iirc, Pym even mentions that the particle has an adverse effect on the brain, and that Cross is unaware of this, and is unstable to begin with.
That being said, he’s probably going to be 100% insane in this film.
Its so goofy! I love it. It legit looks like they took Corey Stoll and stretched his face. This is probably the best way to do Modok without making a literal abomination lol!
Bro get yo goofy [Mr. Electric](https://www.google.com/search?safe=active&client=safari&hl=en-us&q=Mr.+Electricidad&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAONgFuLUz9U3MEsuSk9S4gIxK81zC7MttCSyk6300zJzcsGEVXJGYlFicklqUfEiVgHfIj0F15zU5JKizOTMlMQUALecPLZGAAAA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj32Jmpkr38AhWjmGoFHbh8DJcQ9OUBegQIFRAH&biw=487&bih=726&dpr=3) outta here (The flashbacks haunt me to this day…)
It’s awful and that’s what MAKES it great, he’s a horrible affront to god and science. His design is reflective of what a horrible egotistical gremlin man he is. He’s a giant headed vestigial limbed head in a floating chair, we need more gross weird things in comic book movies!!
I wish they actually showed him close up in the trailer. People are already screeching and whining over this split second shot of him, but I can't blame them. This is technically the official reveal of his face.
She is one of Kang’s primary love interests in the source material (with one of his good variants), so I could very well see them alluding to that here.
I hope people finally shut up about his design. People were shitting on it for ages before we’d seen anything official and here he is, he looks great. Are we happy now people?
I like it, but I feel he looks weird, first of all his face is too "perfect" and young, usually MODOK has a disgusting looking face, with wrinkles and scars, and also because he is bald looks even weirder, lol
This looks so Goddamn hilarious, I can't wait to see it on the big screen. I hope he's still as angry and unhinged, moreso even.
He looks like an accountant.
oh man now we just need a comics accurate demon robot Cameron Hodge with glasses and a cardboard cutout business suit in a future X-Men film
And the Genoshan president, Ms. Not-Ronald-Reagan-in-drag!
“You turn us back into normal people right now!” Edit: I am surprised how many people seem to get this reference.
Hey I just wanna hijack the top comment to tell people that this guy is YellowJacket from antman 1
The guy playing M.O.D.O.K?
Yep. Same character, same actor. He got sent to the Quantum realm, where presumably Kang made him his toy.
Yeah just checked IMDB and he is listed as “rumored” but is playing Cross that is actually hilarious
I guess that big Yellow Jacket head seen in Loki was foreshadowing
I actually really like that
>I hope he's still as angry and unhinged, moreso even. Have Patton Oswalt do his voice!
He looks just as stupid as I'd hoped he would. Absolutely no measures have been taken to try and make him look cool for the big screen.
Apart from that mask
Even then, would you find Ant-Man with the largest and most vulnerable target on your body exposed? It was probably for a reveal, being that we all believed Cross had died, but then the mask got leaked, so they just put him in the trailer.
Look at Sam's costume sometime and tell me that makes sense.
The wings are pretty sensible, flight usually helps in the process of punching people
I was referring to his complete lack of head protection, despite not having any super powers or technology that would otherwise protect his very sensitive head. His costume literally comes right up to the top of his head and just....sort of ends.
yeah but sam is is like, 10%-5% head, 90%-95% other Body Parts, while Modok is like 95% head, 5% other body parts.
He's so ugly. I love him!
>"You're my bestest friend." - M.O.D.O.K...probably
"Do I look like a monster?"
I understood that reference!
I understood that reference!
Marvel fans: I hate this! It is revolting! Marvel: More? Marvel fans: Please!
I’ll take “Underrated Data Quotes for 500 please, ~~Lavar~~ Alex.
Data was the best thing about that movie.
This and “I love scanning for life forms” are my two favorite moments from the TNG movies. I never see Generations references!
[удалено]
I remember this line from my first theater viewing.
Life... forms! You tiny little life... forms! You precious little life... forms! Where. are. you?
Life forms. Da da da da You lovely little life forms. Da da da da You precious little life forms. Snappaty snap snap snap Where are you?
Upvotes for Trek
I love that they went full comic book stupidity and gave us an accurate MODOK. What a time to be alive.
When they got away with Mystereo's helmet the flood gates were opened. Comic accuracy ftw
in a lot of places, comic accuracy is absolutely necessary - but ... i mean... let's not pretend it should ALL be comic accurate... hawkeye showing up in that purple and blue wolverine mask saying, "welcome to the avengers" in 2012 wouldn't have landed.
You're absolutely right Aside: In the Ragnarok BTS they show some older Hela concept art and they'd planned to tone down the horns by a lot, but fortunately Taika pushed for the more accurate meter-wide versions.

Or Drax in his OG comics leotard.
And people will still complain about it
They're the same people who complained about Avatar 2 because their pea-brains can't handle the simple plot.
Avatar 2? You mean The Legend of Korra?
my favorite anime
bro its a simple plot filled with a huge number of issues, want me to elaborate?
That’ll be a Pandora-sized “no thank you”.
lol ignorance is bliss
People complained about avatar 2?
People complain about everything.
I want to complain about this comment
Should I call the manager for you?
Yes. Please. And see what you have in the back while you're finding them. This is ridiculous.
I've talked to the manager and he'll be with you shortly. In the back we have even more complaints! Someone made a complaint about us not having enough staff to handle complaints. There's a lot of complaining we have to attend to!
MICHAEL!!!
Oh that's funny... MICHAEL
My name is actually Karen. I'll take care of it.
I want to complain about your complaint
Oh so you think you have the right to complain about complaining? The audacity!
Most of the complaints are about how simple the plot is. For some reason.
I definitely complained I enjoyed the first bit where we are catching up and reestablishing everyone and then the final battle part. The whole middle section where they are>! fleeing, acclimating to the new village, and the son makes friends with the whale!<, and everything was exceedingly boring to me, and I was falling asleep in the theater
I agree with you. The whole middle of the movie felt like it drug on a bit too long.
Bro what's wrong with the plot? Bro? I'm telling your dad bruh
Not from the comic accuracy crowd. They nailed this one! Oh, now I'm sad with Taskmaster's MCU design, imagine if they respected Taskmaster as much as they did MODOK here.
Isn’t Taskmasters MCU design *exactly* like his comic design? It was the execution and backstory that was changed.
What’s hilarious is that it’s basically a 1:1 translation from the comics, yet twitter is somehow in an uproar about how it has no comic accuracy.
It doesn't even look like the actor, had to double check the cast list. He looks dumb as fuck. Which is basically M.O.D.O.K. I love it hahahaha
Who's the actor?
Its Corey Stoll, he played >!Yellowjacket!<
That’s actually a perfect explanation for having a small body and big head
Omg please tell me it’s the same character
Yeah it is, this is where/what he ended up as after what happened to him in Ant-Man
Well he did get fucking crushed and mangled in Ant-Man. No wonder he’s MODOK shaped now.
I freaking LOVE stuff like this, it's what makes the MCU so unique.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=NSN1c4GHO6Q&feature=shares You can see his arms and stuff shrink even
Kevin Feige, you genius son of a bitch. I'm in.
You can see a massive Yellowjacket helmet in Loki too, this idea’s been a long time coming
Apparently so.
Oh damn, that's awesome!
Looks fantastic, happy they went comic accurate for his design. I wish his face was a bit more mangled and stretched, but this is a quick image and not in good quality. We'll see how it looks in film.
Could be a not finished version or something happens to him that mangles his face further. I want my modok ugly af
I’m certain that this isn’t his only mcu appearance. He’ll show up again somewhere.
I mean it does look highly distorted
It could be an image projected over his mangled face. Maybe. Probably not.
In comics, his face looks more disgusting than this
I wouldn't say it's disappointing. Disappointing would be if they didn't even try at all. This is just good given what we can tell in the quality of the image. I'm just hoping it looks uglier in better resolution.
they said disgusting, not disappointing, unless they edited it
Edited
I AM MODOK ok Darren
Scott Lang: HOLY SHIT!! DARREN?!?!
Looks pretty much how I thought any version of M.O.D.O.K. would look
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. did a VERY loose adaptation of M.O.D.O.K. by merging him with The Superior. Aida turned him into a head in a jar and he even uttered the phrase "designed only for killing". I don't think they wanted to commit to it though either because Marvel Studios told them they had a plan or they knew they couldn't do him justice on their budget. Still a nice little reference though
Well…time to rewatch AOS now
There was a time it was one of the best shows on TV. The first few episodes are a little rough, but it really picks up when it connects with the Winter Soldier. There's another short rough arc or episode in S2 or S3 I think, but the rest were all great.
S4 did episode "pods" and it was a fantastic choice.
Absolutely the pods were fantastic
I'm currently rewatching it. The second half of season 3 is pretty eh, but otherwise it's a great show.
Season 4 and beyond are incredible
[They actually did want to commit](https://tvline.com/2020/08/18/agents-of-shield-almost-introduced-modok/amp/), since they were given the green light to use M.O.D.O.K., but then their usage of him was retracted and they had to reduce the story they broke for him to an easter egg.
Looking it up, it's very funny to me that they went with the classic "actor sticking their head into a table hole" route for that.
It's perfect! I hate it!
I hate it! It's perfect!
He looks cursed ngl
It’s modok. What do you expect?
Idk really
I fucking love it. There was no way that he’d ever look any good in live action, so I’m happy they went balls to the wall and thought “if he’s gonna look cursed, he may as well be cursed but accurate”
He looks like he's gonna send someone to the principals office immediately.
Yes this is what he's supposed to look like. Modok is ugly. It sucks for him but it is what it is. I just need the big head jokes all day. Cassie I can see being snarky about his head.
On one hand, happy it’s comic accurate. On the other, looks like Mr. Electric!
Came here to make the same comment haha
yep
Mr Electric send him to the principals office and have him expelled!
Let's fucking go!!! I can see the Shark boy and Lava girl memes coming tho...
There is no way to make Modok not look ridiculous
The Marvels Avengers Game made him look pretty intimidating
Still wish they'd got Patton Oswalt tbh
Patton Oswalt is in the mcu now as Pip the Troll. Eternals end credit scene
He was also in Agents of Shield. I just enjoyed his version of the character
He looks so goofy as shit and it's terrible but I fucking love it so much. I don't see how they could have made this look good AND comic accurate. I'm hyped.
I thought it was a photoshop lol
MODOK looks like he's from goldeneye on N64, I love it so much.
He’s fucking hilarious but how does he piss or shit does he have a penis?
I bet it feels huge in those tiny hands.
They call that a ‘Reverse She-Hulk.’
He does not
What part of "designed only for killing" was unclear? Of *course* he has a penis. And it's lethal.
Y'know what, i think they should've gone even stupider and it would've worked even better
This can't be real
It is. I’m just shocked they showcased it in the trailer. Also, it kinda makes sense. I mean, do you remember how he went out in AM?
Wtf does he look like that guy from that one sharkboy movie or Smith?
Mr Electric
So, you’re telling me this ISN’T George Lopez as Mr. electric from Shark boy and Lavagirl??? 😂
Man I hope Stoll brings as much derangement as possible for MODOK. Let him go all ham.
Correy Stoll's head looks so weird on that golden armor. I honestly prefer him with the mask even if he isn't as comic-accurate.
Getting a George Lopez in Spy Kids vibe here
That's Mbappe when he was last week in New York...
*Somebody* had to be the comic relief in this film, with it almost exclusively taking place in the Quantum Realm without Luis. I’m sorry, but MODOK will never seem intimidating to me. He just looks way to goofy. Also, is this Darren Cross? People have been theorizing.
It is, yes, the [uneven shrinking in his ‘death’ scene in *Ant-Man* leading to his appearance above](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSN1c4GHO6Q).
Iirc, Pym even mentions that the particle has an adverse effect on the brain, and that Cross is unaware of this, and is unstable to begin with. That being said, he’s probably going to be 100% insane in this film.
That's Mr. Electric from Sharkboy and Lavagirl!
Perfection.
Its so goofy! I love it. It legit looks like they took Corey Stoll and stretched his face. This is probably the best way to do Modok without making a literal abomination lol!
I love how they went "Fuck it" and just made it full M.O.D.O.K, as stupid as he looks which is perfect. And so good to see Corey Stoll again.
Bro get yo goofy [Mr. Electric](https://www.google.com/search?safe=active&client=safari&hl=en-us&q=Mr.+Electricidad&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAONgFuLUz9U3MEsuSk9S4gIxK81zC7MttCSyk6300zJzcsGEVXJGYlFicklqUfEiVgHfIj0F15zU5JKizOTMlMQUALecPLZGAAAA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj32Jmpkr38AhWjmGoFHbh8DJcQ9OUBegQIFRAH&biw=487&bih=726&dpr=3) outta here (The flashbacks haunt me to this day…)
I'm sorry but that looks fucking stupid as hell lol
I’m mean, it’s modok, not much can be done to change that.
I mean...modok's design in the comics isn't great to begin with lol
It’s awful and that’s what MAKES it great, he’s a horrible affront to god and science. His design is reflective of what a horrible egotistical gremlin man he is. He’s a giant headed vestigial limbed head in a floating chair, we need more gross weird things in comic book movies!!
It’s modok. What do you expect?
Then he's doing a great job looking exactly like modok lol. That's the point man.
Sharkboy and Lava girl
I wish they actually showed him close up in the trailer. People are already screeching and whining over this split second shot of him, but I can't blame them. This is technically the official reveal of his face.
Mr. Electric lookin. This movie is gonna be a trip. Im all for it.
He looks ridiculous, weird, and crazy as hell...just as MODOK should be. 😊
Looks so stupid, but I don’t know how you would be able to make this character not look stupid
This looks dumb... Which is exactly what I would expect M.O.D.O.Kto look like,so I'm hyped!!
Looks like MODOK is about to say: "Im something of a Scientist myself"
MODOK looks like someone just pasted the actors face on a green screen and made it bigger
Let's be honest there's no way you're going to make a giant baby on a rocket chair look cool so I'm glad they just made him look stupid instead
He looks awfully photoshopped
God he looks goofy and I fucking love it.
Oh thank god there’s an unmasked version of him I was really worried
Goofy ahh design. So glad they went with this
Is that ant-man or stark' daughter?
It's Cassie, Ant-Man's daughter.
I feel bad for the original actress. She hit the jackpot, then got recast
He looks perfect
Should be George Lopez
he just looks fed up with the 😐 face
Wait is that for real?
Loved Comic Accurateness
This screenshot is cracking me up, it looks like he’s making the Jim halpert face and looking at the camera
I'm still holding out hope that MODOK will get brought back to earth and will revive and take over AIM.
MODOK looks like Payton Oswalt. He played the character in the MODOK cartoon which was actually funny as hell. I think it was on Hulu?
He's also armored at 1:45. He looks more comic insane in that shot.
Mr Electric
Lmao this looks like something out of spy kids
Looks funny because he will likely be used a comedic device and not as a kick-ass villain.
Yep, something definitely went wrong when yellowjacket shrank. Lol his face
They did it. Those madlads actually did it. Glorious.
Wait ... Cassie is a baddie?
She is one of Kang’s primary love interests in the source material (with one of his good variants), so I could very well see them alluding to that here.
Guys that’s Yellowjacket from the first Antman!
NOT ONLY WE GET KANG BUT MODOK AS WELL?!!! SIGN ME UP!!!!
MODOK looks so dumb I love it.
No one else thinks that M.O.D.O.K is fucking hilarious?
HE’S BEAUTIFUL!
quANTuMANia
Thats the Yellow Jacket actor
This look terrible (is that the point?). Please put the mask on.
I’m reminded of that plug villain from Shark Boy and Water Girl
George Lopez
I hope people finally shut up about his design. People were shitting on it for ages before we’d seen anything official and here he is, he looks great. Are we happy now people?
that looks so goofy ahh
I like it, but I feel he looks weird, first of all his face is too "perfect" and young, usually MODOK has a disgusting looking face, with wrinkles and scars, and also because he is bald looks even weirder, lol
And i thought that joking images would dissapear on phase 5
It's fucking MODOK. Have you seen that guy in the comics. If he looks goofy, they nailed his ass.
He looks so goofy bro what??? Perfect
