In a twisted corner of the Marvel Universe, a cosmic virus unleashes zombie chaos on Earth’s mightiest heroes, turning icons like Iron Man, Captain America, and Spider-Man into flesh-hungry monsters. As they rampage across a crumbling world, devouring allies and foes alike, a ragtag band of survivors—including some familiar faces who dodged the plague—fights tooth and claw to outlast the horde and uncover the rot at the heart of the apocalypse.

PARENTAL NOTES

TV-MA

• Marvel Zombies is definitely NOT for children. However, it is available on an app primarily designed for children, and it’s a superhero cartoon, so kids are likely to want to watch it. Hence, the parental notes section, which is usually reserved for children’s programming.
  • Marvel Zombies is unabashedly a horror series. It is filled with blood, gore, and dark imagery.
• There are a number of curse words peppered throughout the show.
  • $h!t is said at least once.
  • Ms. Marvel tells a zombie to “eat it “b!t@h.”
  • I want to say that GD was said once, but I can’t be sure.

WOKE REPORT

Debatable

• What’s the debate, you ask? Does making the show female-centered mean that it’s a woke show?
  • Normally, as long as the narrative wasn’t all about girl power, I’d say no, being female-led isn’t inherently woke. However, in this case, it’s such an obvious push to raise up secondary and tertiary female Marvel characters that the general audience couldn’t care less about, that I weighted it much more harshly than I may have otherwise. It’s the WNBA of Marvel.
• The only white male heroes to make it through the zombie apocalypse were Spider-Man and the Red Guardian. You could argue that Scott Lang did as well, but since he’s just a floating head now, I’d say that doesn’t count.
  • Instead, friggin Iron Heart, Hawkette, Ms. Marvel, a host of black widows, Awkwafina, the goober Asian FBI agent from Ant-Man, Shang-Chi, and Blade (the only one who anyone might care about and does very little).
    • Sure, Thor made it, but he’s been sulking and clinically depressed for five years as Valkyrie ran New Asgard.
    • Spider-Man is barely in the show and is virtually useless.
