Show Notes

AN X-MEN MOVIE IS COMING… SOMETIME

In 2019, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige told a screaming San Diego Comic-Con crowd that the studio was in production on an MCU-set X-Men movie. Since then, we haven’t heard a peep. But Feige has said that the MCU’s take on the X-Men will be “quite different” from 20th Century Fox’s. For now, we’ll just have to wait until Marvel finally spills the beans on how it’ll bring some of the most popular Marvel Comics characters of all time to the biggest Marvel movie universe of all time.

Topic 1: Diminishing returns of the MCU

Topic 2: Marvel’s geniuses going to the same schools

Topic 3: Marvel pivoting to include the X-Men

Topic 4: Thunderbolts vs. Suicide Squad vs. Task Force X

Topic 5: Brainstorming a Delroy Lindo podcast

EP.123 – Post Decpte-Con Catch Up – A Review of Comic-Con News 2026 – Tangential Giants Podcast

Kareem finally reconnects with Ken and Pat after missing their Comic‑Con panel, and the guys waste no time recapping how their talk on the downfall of billionaires in comics somehow turned into a crowd‑pleaser. Pat insists they were profound. Ken insists they were unhinged. Both are probably right.From there, the conversation swerves into the tall grass. The trio tries to figure out why Transformers actually transform, whether “Decepticons” is a name that should have been retired decades ago, and how to stitch G.I. Joe, Transformers, and the Fast and the Furious into one cinematic universe without breaking the laws of physics or taste.It is exactly the kind of episode where a simple Comic‑Con debrief becomes a dissertation on toy‑based geopolitics, automotive theology, and franchise chaos theory.Settle in.
