Notes[]
- During Turkey Day '21, it was announced that Doctor Mordrid was planned to be the film used in Episode 1305. It premiered on June 10, 2022.
- It has been widely reported that Doctor Mordrid began production as a film featuring the Marvel Comics character Doctor Strange, with the name and some details changed because the producers lost the rights before production could begin.[1][2] Screenwriter C. Courtney Joyner has refuted this notion, stating that the main character was never intended to be Dr. Strange and is an original character created specifically for this project (though he did acknowledge the comic book influence on the production).
