    I could be convinced that the first one was better, but Cap and Thor were both definitely better than Iron Man 2, in my opinion.


I agree completely. Iron Man 2 suffered from not having a strong backbone to the story. It was a bunch of losely fitted plotlines that never built well towards anything. I didn't outright dislike it, but it's definitely the weakest effort of Marvel Studios.

    Yeah, and apparently you can get that game for your iPhone now. Ah, if only work had provided me an iPhone instead of a Blackberry...


Really? I'll have to look for it... it would be fun to play on my iPad.

    Well, in it's defense it was a pilot episode. Things could have been changed and tightened up. For a pilot I thought the plot was fine, it showcased all of the main characters and what they can do. It lacked substance but you knew who the X-Men were and what they were capable of by the end of it.


Oh no, as I said it's quite good for its time. When I said I understood why it wasn't picked up, it wasn't the childish dialog that killed it... every cartoon had that. It was the heady ideas. It already felt like it had received a bunch of story notes to dumb it down some, and I just still picture some exec smoking a cigar and saying "Dammit, I thought I told them to lose all the social commentary stuff! Nobody wants to know why the good guys are fighting the bad guys!"

    ve to disagree a little on Stan. What he lacks in technique he makes up for in enthusiasm. I think he does fine in the role of narrator here, and he sounds genuinely excited about the X-Men's adventures. His voice acting, on the other hand, is a little weak (eg. the Super Hero Squad television show, but honestly I wouldn't take his character out; who better to be major of Super Hero City?).


I love me some Stan Lee purple prose, but it would take a great actor to say it all out loud... and that's one thing Stan will never be. I can appreciate it from a fan factor, but I can't call it good.

I've not seen the Super Hero Squad show enough, although I heard he had that role. Somebody should let me know when the Vision shows up in that.
