Cute little way of making Sue Richards look semi-transparent in the shot, it'll work better once coloured.

Everything else is just the usual anime s*it, and given that Marvel are probably better off doing DVD movies where they can do so much more unrestricted things, going for broke on this and Iron Man also seems like a squandered oppertunity.

Will this WB Kids crap ever fad out? It was fin ein Batman Beyond but now everyones useing it. And I dont even think batman Beyond was the first to use it...

[Mecha Cow]

Hmm...

I kind of like the drawing style, but I think the designs are too different and don't really capture the characters that well; Especially Doom looks off.

It looks interesting at least, might download an episode or two when it comes out.

My only gripe is the Grafiti-esque 4 on Benny's chest...everything else is kinda cool, aside from the psudo anime style...

I'll just repost what I wrote on another board:

Yeah, I'll give the show a shot. There's so much anime and anime-styled crap out there, though, I'm getting sick and tired of it. I miss American action cartoons sometimes. Thank heaven for Ninja Turtles.


Marvel had a pretty sweet animated universe going back in the 90's. Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Silver Surfer, the Hulk, the Avengers (ugh), Spider-Man Unlimited (double Ugh) and I think there were others.

Continuity between shows wasn't always great, and voice actors tended to change whenever there was guest stars from other shows (thanks in part to half the shows being voiced in Canada and the other half being done in LA), but for the most part they were did a really good job and the Marvel Universe felt like a REAL universe.

Hell, Marvel had a decent universe going back in the 80's, too. Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, Pryde of the X-Men, New Fantastic Four (third Ugh, Hat Trick!), and I think there was a Hulk toon, as well. All had consistant voice actors and animation (from Toei, I believe).

That's what I really want Marvel to do; build up another animated universe like they used to.

What happened? I'll have to disagree with you, Mecha Cow, I really don't like the style at all, though Doc Doom looks pretty darn sweet. He's got a more mysterious look that fits him rather well.

[KROW]

Ah, very nice. I click the link and the images have been removed from the website. Cool. :P

[The Stryker]

I can't say i like the designs and i can't say i hate them either.

They're just bland to me, why can't the Fantastic four ever get really good treatment outside of comic books?

[FireFly]

i like the doom design best everything else looks ok heres hope for a ghost rider cartoon

You included Pryde of the X-Men too?

I know it was just a pilot, but just by appearances it planted itself squarely in the 80's Marvel Animated Universe.

All the X-Men had the same voice cast from their appearances on Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends (including Wolverine's rediculous Australian accent), the animation was done by Toei (who did the other toons) and the music was done by the same guy (who also did GI Joe and Transformers!).

And it was a pilot meant to launch an X-Men cartoon since fans reacted positively to their cameos in Spider-Man. Unfortunately, nothing ever came of it and the 80's MAU died.

At least an arcade game came out of that pilot.

Indeed!

And an awesome arcade game it was. Used to compete with the Simpsons Arcade for my quarters every weekend.

Oh yes. I really liked the music from that game.
