Quote: It uses an approach similar to Wolverine and the X-Men by drawing from every part of continuity imaginable. However, while the recent X-Men cartoon did so in a contradictory and haphazard fashion ( which, to be fair, describes its source material well ), the Avengers cartoon gives us what could be the definitive version of the team. I really do like the approach they've taken, following the outline of the original issues but applying a "if we knew then what we know now" updating of them. I'm sure they'll make some decisions that I completely disagree with, but so far they're hitting more than they're missing. Quote: The micro-episodes especially made a convincing set-up that gave the characters a sense of importance. We were shown-- not told, shown-- that all these guys are the best and brightest, in spite of their checkered pasts. And it made their convergence as a team believable, even for a Marvel world. It worked well for people who saw the mini episodes online. It would perhaps be too slow of a start to have made those the opening episodes on television, taking a long time before the team actually came together. Quote: Plus, as the world's first and foremost SteveBlumologist, the WW2 flashbacks met my approval. Not only did the ubiquitous tough guy VA do a good job as the Red Skull, but he reprised one of his most legendary roles as one Private James Howlett...Was that the guy who voiced Wolverine before? In which cartoon version? | |||||||
