This is something that has been done in movies since the early days of movies. That’s where all the cartoons everyone loves (Disney/Looney Tunes) came from. They were shorts before movies. Using them as character intros is kinda interesting, but it will only take one flop to be made fun of for the rest of eternity.

A 22 page comic is essentially the storyboard to a 5 to 10 minute short film. Is the argument really that because Pixar does it better, they shouldn’t even bother? That’s absurd.

It’s only 6 minutes long, and it’s inspired. That sets a pretty high bar for anyone else to try to live up to. (OTOH, if you only aspire to being as good as Porky Pig or Speedy Gonzalez, maybe not so daunting.)

I said it on another thread here and I’ll say it again: TV. Marvel could do a lot worse than to develop a couple of TV series’ based on some of their less popular characters. Iron Fist or Moon Knight are ripe for a nice gritty dramatic action series on a channel like FX.
