I've enjoyed both of these Specials more than the actual TV shows.

Spreading 40 minutes of story over 6 episodes is the Marvel way.

No, like flash, arrow, krypton, fotham, supergirl, batwoman, titans, naomi or pennywortg.

The fact that you only named two shows is very telling

You're stat padding too. Titans, Naomi, Krypton and Pennyworth are all shows with 13 or less episodes a season.

Counting the CW shows is cherry picking lol

Peacemaker is way better than every Marvel show. I'm not typically a fan of hero stuff and even I enjoyed it.

These specials are such a good idea by Marvel. It's something that doesn't have to be dragged out into 6 episodes, but also isn't quite a movie either.

I could see them making a Dr Doom origin special tbh.

Doom demands at least a 4-6 episode anthology.

Books of Doom + Astonishing Tales 1-8 are basically tailormade for being chopped up into something special.

It's a shame Fantastic Four / Silver Surfer / Galactus was done so poorly, because a good Fantastic Four / Galactus movie that ends with Silver Surfer trapped on Earth leading into a Doom anthology finale based on FF 57-60 where Doom steals Surfer's powers after Surfer saves the Earth could have really set up Doom as the worthy and layered big bad he is.
