Marvel TV Slate, Peacemaker S2 Reactions, and Adam Warlock with Jordan Reynolds

Geek Freaks

Frank and Squeaks break down the biggest New York Comic Con headlines, from Invincible season 4 and Batman Knightfall to X-Men ’97 and Marvel’s Wonder Man. They give honest, spoiler-light reactions to the Peacemaker season 2 finale, talk about what the show sets up for the DCU, and then welcome voice actor Jordan Reynolds for a deep dive on playing Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals. Jordan explains his audition process, how direction shapes in-game performance, and why Adam should feel like a calm anchor when the fight gets chaotic.

Key Takeaways

• Invincible’s next chapter leans harder into the cosmic war and should bring Thragg front and center.

• DC’s animated Knightfall could set the tone for a fresh post-DCEU animation slate.

• X-Men ’97 is thinking big with Apocalypse while still leaving room for classic arcs to surface later.

• Wonder Man looks like a character study about actors and fame first, superhero spectacle second.

• VisionQuest aims at identity and fatherhood, with Ultron and Stark AIs complicating Vision’s humanity.

• MK III is happening while MK II shifts to May 2026, likely escalating from tournament to Earthrealm stakes.

• Starfleet Academy’s tone split the room, but the world of Trek can still benefit from smaller-scale stories done right.

• Peacemaker S2 delivers heart and growth for Chris Smith, even if the finale plays more like a handoff to the wider DCU.

• Checkmate and “metahumans vs government” are poised to be a major connective thread into Superman.

• Jordan Reynolds frames Adam Warlock as the calm center of a chaotic match – measured, hopeful, and precise.
