Well, that sounds awful.

Consider the source.
The source are the actual comics, that I read, and it was even brought back up in the current GotG run. You being snotty doesn't change the facts, which are:
Basically, all the Olympians were killed by an evil Goddess called Nyx, but because they can't be permanently killed (it has to do with their myths being fundamental parts of reality or something) they were resurrected in the "space beyond space", and since then have tried to kill at least one space based team, I think in the GotG run before this one, but its been a year or two since it happened. I don't quite remember what their new attitude is/goals are, but they are definitely bad guys right now, generally speaking, and they got stupid new "space" designs that I think look pretty crappy.
This is an actual thing that happened, in a mini event/series called Avengers: No Road Home, which also involved a bunch of other non-Olympian Avenger adventures (like Scarlet Witch meeting Conan the Barbarian).
In honor of the Predator coming to Marvel, they are going to be doing a series of variant covers with the Predator facing off against a character from the comic.
When I first saw the headline on the Marvel site, I thought it was going to be a comic with The Predator fighting the Marvel heroes, but this is still pretty cool.
The team behind the recent Shang-Chi miniseries is going to be getting their own ongoing series, Shang-Chi vs The Marvel Universe. I'm wondering if the vs The Marvel Universe part is going to stick around for the whole series or just the beginning, because that seems kind of limiting for an ongoing series.

It took some poking around, but I finally found Agent Carter on Disney+. I haven't seen it yet.
I haven't read any of the Olympian stuff since, but I rather liked No Road Home.
We'll have to disagree on that one.
Anyone been following the Kindred arc in Spider Man ? I couldn't take any more and jumped six or seven issues to the end, and checking the Wikipedia entry, it doesn't look like I missed anything.
Am I the only one that found it both poor, boring and almost terminally spread out ?
And yet issue 60 was pretty damned good !

Marvel has announced a couple of fun sounding new non-comic books, William Shakespeare's Avengers: The Complete Works, and Doctor Strange: The Book of Vishanti.
The Avengers book is a retelling of the four Avengers movies in the style of Williams Shakespear, and is written by Ian Doescher, the same guy who wrote the William Shakespear's Star Wars books.
Here's how the official Marvel website describes it:

Hard to say, as I'm attributing my current feelings at least partially to "event fatigue". I'd probably have different perceptions if I'd read them in a different order.
I'm certainly liking it way more than the recent X of Swords. Bigger crossovers ? Better than Axis, Infinity, War of the Realms and Empyre. Not as good as Civil War, Secret Empire and probably even Civil War II.
Me neither, but...I quite liked it. Still haven't managed to read X of Swords though.
Anyone following the new Iron Man run ? I quite liked it at first, but it really has gone steadily down hill...
I've only even really liked Venom in his first few appearances. King in Black is pretty good though. I've only read the core mini and a couple of tie-ins.
At this point I've dropped all the X-Men stuff except SWORD, even though I can read them all for "free" via Marvel Unlimited. They're all just a slog to get through.
Shame about Iron Man. I've like what I've read of the series so far.
Right now I'd say Immortal Hulk and Strange Academy are the two books at Marvel I'm enjoying the most.
I'm loving the Kirkman X-Men stuff, but damn I could do with a few fewer books...
