Capt. Speedbump: Definitely appreciate your words...much respect to you sir. Salute

It has been a little while since I have been on here. Just a few comments: 1) I checked out the ratings for the last for the last episode of AA (see Son of the Bronx's website or any other similar website for ratings information). About 525,000 people tuned in for it. This is...

I am definitely getting into MAA. I loved Red Skull and Dr. Doom's interaction in the previous episode and I liked the interactions between Red Skull and Dracula in this episode even more. P.Sketch, that is an inevitable question that you have asked. I think of it like this: people are...

Fun, fast-paced, and action-filled. Very cool. This episode has increased my anticipation to see more GOTG. I am undecided about my feelings pertaining to the end of show swerve with Nova team membership. Nova staying keeps the team together, but Nova leaving might have opened up other...

Medinnus, I am going to try this one more time and then I am going to simply count it as a lost cause. Apparently you missed the part of my comment about being mean spirited and overbearing, but maybe you do not realize how some things you say may be perceived. There are a few others like you...

Medinnus, I like your passion, and I did understand your point. You should be careful about assuming what a person does or does not know about literature. Hubris is not a good thing. You are reaching. These are comics. Many writers have handled these characters over time. It's simply...

I agree. It is a possibility.

We seem to differ about a lot of these things. But I can always appreciate a well reasoned argument. Some people seem to care greatly about strict fidelity to the depiction of characters and the telling of stories based off of history. Some people care about those things, but are not going...

There are two general categories of assessments that we can make about these shows: subjective and objective. Subjective statements are easier to make and can be very helpful to hear. Objective statements are much more difficult because there really is not any official objective group of...

Very true. Black Widow in the pilot was Black Widow in the Avengers movie. Although some people were complaining similarly about Captain America in the pilot. No, I did not get that complaint either.

I am still not sure who the Space Phantoms are, but that is probably my fault for not comprehending properly. Are they an alien race like the Cree or Skrulls? I think so, but I am not sure. I did like this episode. Nice flight scene between Falcon and Ironman at the beginning of the show...

While this is not the first USM episode that I have liked from start to finish, there are actually a number of epsiodes that fit that category for me, I absolutely agree with the overall sentiment. I thought this was a strong episode. To me it was funny, it had action, and in a lot of ways it...

The animation for the pilot was not a turn off for me. Young Justice was cool, but I was not thinking about it while I was watching the MAA pilot episodes. With USM, I personally only remember two mind swapping episodes and the Carnage episode in which Peter Parker was Carnage for a few...

1. I like it when the writers start a show with either a fight scene or a chase scene. 2. It was nice that the Wolverine mind swap episode was explicitly mentioned as a lead-in to the events of this episode. 3. Seeing the Thing makes me want to also see the rest of the Fantastic Four at...

This was a great episode. In my opinion, there has not been a Spider-Man animated series that has had better action scenes than has this series, as was displayed in this episode. It somewat reminded me of certain scenes from Naruto. Iron Fist's fighting style certainly allows for that...

Good points suss2it. Just to add to this, it seems as if relative marketing and visibility between Marvel and DC has changed since BTAS first aired. I remember a fairly well known media figure making a comment about Iron Man and the Avengers. He was saying that when he grew up evereybody...

That does happen. In the same manner, the default response for disparaging a show often is to state how it is not like something else. More precise and thoughtful evaluations giving specific reasons why something is good or not, other than that it is not somethig else, are far more helpful...

I understand what you mean. It kind of takes the fun out of discussing these things when it seems as if the overwhelming trend is towards negativity and criticism. It seems as if some people try to draw a direct correlation between a show's ratings and its quality only when it suits their...

Apart from the kid Loki with the runny nose gag, this episode was entertaining to me. Thor was a force, the teamwork was evident and well done (for those who have complained about the lack of teamwork and usefulness of the team this should make you happier). The comedic approach of USM reminds...

I think a good question to consider is this: Why do the people who liked X-Men the animated series and Spectacular Spider-Man but also enjoy X-Men Evolution and Ultimate Spider-Man do so? Is it just because they are nondiscriminatory or do they have legitimate reasons? While I agree with many...

That is an interesting question. I would think that to draw a correlation between the absence of ratings publications and actual ratings performance is at best conjecture that could be biased based on a personal predilection towards the preview. For example, there were a number of things that...

A lot depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for things to like about the show then you will find them. However, if you are looking for things to dislike about the show, then you will probably be successful in finding what you are looking for. Think of the fable about the...

One word would summarize how I feel about these two episodes...entertaining. Here are a few thoughts that I had while watching the Avengers Assemble premier. a. I love AEMH (I have all of the episodes on DVD), but Avengers Assemble is a different series and I have to be fair and assess it on...

Cool. Thanks for the feedback guys! I love the points that you guys have made. Just so that my point is clear, the time frame for all of these projects covers both Pre-Disney Marvel and Disney Marvel. The issue about the licensing of both Sony and Fox of Spider Man and X-Men respectively...

Perhaps. Your point is valid. I would only ask you to consider that if your suggestion is correct, then how do you explain the X-Men anime series, Wolverine and the X-Men, and Spectacular Spider Man? Each of which was created during this time frame. Why would the licensing concern prevent DTVs...

Watching this movie lead me to thinking about some features of Marvel animation over the past 7 to 10 years. [I am not an insider of this industry nor do I know anyone who is an insider of this industry. These comments are solely based on my observations as an outsider.] Marvel has apparently...

1. Although Iron Man Armor Adventures was excellent, another Iron Man series with an older Tony Stark, Pepper, Rhodey, etc.. 2. A solo captain america series. I love the way Steve Rogers was portrayed in the Ultimate Spider Man ("Not A Toy"). 3. A Fantatstic Four Series including the...

Awesome idea. [Along with this, if I had my wish, I would love for a Captain America solo series to be made including SHIELD, Winter Soldier, and Secret Avengers stories. But I digress] Back on topic. Fantastic Four World's Greatest Adventurers is one of my favorite series ever. It should...

The idea of essentially having an episode dedicated to Spider-Man teaming up with one of the members of his group has worked nicely for the last two episodes. It seems to allow for more character focus on the team members who are not Spider-Man as well as allowing for more development...

This episode was very good. I have gotten adjusted to the overall feel of the show to the point where I find myself really enjoying it. The Luke Cage Peter Parker team up was well done and the fight scenes were good as well.
