Spoilers Marvel's Werewolf by Night on Disney+

Any decent picture of cast in colour photos - I'm just curious what some of their outfits looked like?

That was a lot of fun, I hope we see Jack, Elsa, and Ted again.

Feige himself stated that Werewolf by Night will have importance to the MCU. I wonder if the MCU is building a Bump in the Night team with Werewolf, Blade, Black Knight and possibly others to have their own lower level stories set in a completely different corner of the franchise, would give them the chance to stretch out and leave the standard formula occasionally.

I really liked it. I'm not a fan of horror or monster movies in general but i am well aware of the genre and especially of the era this short movie pays hommage to. It was a fun romp with good performances, some nice twists and i just love the buddy dynamic between Jack and Man Thing.
 
Finally got a chance to watch it and I loved every minute of it! The whole thing is deliciously macabre and a beautiful callback to the 50s monsters films but with modern sentiments.

I don't know much about this particular corner of the Marvel universe but I knew at least who Elsa Bloodstone and Man-Thing are, if only because of the mobile game Contest of Champions. I love that I correctly spotted Man-Thing's half-second appearance in the trailer and I especially love how they rendered him on screen with a combination of puppetry and special effects. I cannot wait to see him again as well as Elsa and Jack!

I imagine this special was stuffed with Easter eggs so I hope everyone points them out.

I can only hope we get more of these stylistic specials from Marvel!

Still, despite the retro technique, there were indications that it was set in modern times, or nearly so. The most recent date of death in the crypt was 1961, and evidently Ulysses Bloodstone managed to survive a fair length of time beyond that. And the grunts' shock prods looked like quite modern tech. Yet there was no sign of anyone having cell phones or anything.

Not quite. I spotted a couple that were in the 1980s.

I thought I did at first, but then I looked again and they were 1880s. They seemed to move forward in time from left to right.

I just went back to the one I was certain in the 1980s and it's definitely Sept. 17, 1988 for Griffith Berke, the coffin next to Frances Brisbane, the one Elsa breaks into.

I'd screencap it but Disney+ blocks that function.
 
Yup, that's what I was hoping for and I deliberately took a close look at each date for that confirmation. Plus, those pain sticks are pretty modern and I feel like we've seen them before.

When did Elsa's great aunt die?

She seemed to remember her.

If you mean the crypt she broke into, pretty sure that was the one with the 1961 death date. But I don't recall if Elsa knew her personally or said she'd been told about her by a relative.
 
So, for anyone who watched WBN--how close is it to the source in the kind of horror and pathos which was a hallmark of the original comic?

Not exactly a perfect solution, but you can a photo with your phone. If you have a large screen HD TV it should be good. I usually watch on my PC monitor, my TV is not much better quality.

I watch on my laptop. Ysah, your idea is a viable solution but I get picky about the quality of the image I post. Just a thing for me.
