Yes -that is a real name from Marvel comics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the comics, George Tarleton was once a normal human until he was transformed into a giant floating mechanical head forcing him to become evil and birthing M.O.D.O.K. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"responsive-embed widescreen\"><iframe title=\"Marvel&#039;s M.O.D.O.K. - Trailer (Official) \u2022 A Hulu Original\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oSEWdhHBlYU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The series changes up a bit of the backstory but keeps the giant floating head because why not. M.O.D.O.K is voiced by Patton Oswalt (the voice of Remy from the Ratatouille).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The animation is reminiscent of the Adult Swim series, <em>Robot Chicken<\/em>, so make sure to keep the children away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an adult show, where we see M.O.D.O.K deal with the complications of an everyday adult: Trying to succeed at work, which in this case is attempting to destroy the world, whilst finding the time to spend with your lovely children and wife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not make us explain how a floating head was able to make children. We skipped that biology lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show was originally set to be shown on Hulu but will also be available on Disney+ in the UK. However, Disney will be releasing the series episode by episode with ten episodes scheduled for the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is filled with many famous names such as Jon Hamm (<em>Mad Men<\/em>), Whoopi Goldberg (<em>Sister Act<\/em>), and even Melissa Fumero (<em>Brooklyn Nine-Nine<\/em>). Plus the series has received <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/tv\/tv-reviews\/marvels-modok-1234955228\/\">good reviews<\/a> so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, you could be wasting your time doing something else. Like writing about episode one of <em>M.O.D.O.K<\/em> instead of watching it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re looking for new Marvel content whilst waiting for the next Marvel Cinematic Universe project, we have good news.
