In reflecting on the possibility of the show eventually crossing over into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Speck praises Marvel for being a "great godparent" in allowing them to build their own kind of universe separate from the long-running franchise, and while not completely averse to the possibility of such a crossover, Gordon explains their ambition was always to "build out this weird little...
