1990s Iron Man Joining Jetix
 

Likely because of the new Movie.

Starting next Sunday with a marathon, then the Series gets a regular airing time the weekend after.

There was a 1990s Iron Man cartoon? Well, that sounds cool. I rarely watch Jetix, but I will watch it next weekend. Thanks for letting us know.:)

It was pretty alright if I remember it right.

Yep, there was. It aired alongside the 1990s Fantastic Four cartoon.


The Series was pretty good.

As for next Sunday's Marathon, it will have some good episodes from the series.
Checking Zap2it, the Marathon will be having most of the 2-Parters from the series -- "Origin of Iron Man", "Armor Wars" and "Hands of the Mandarin" (the last one being the Series-Finale).

Just fair warning people:

Grit your teeth and suffer through the first season's worth of episodes. They're kid-oriented, poorly written and poorly animated, but they set up the far FAR superior (and much darker and more focused) second season.

Fantastic Four had the same problem, of a very AWFUL first season but a most excellent second one.

Iron Man gets especially dark during the series finale (the way they kill off the lead villain is extremely violent for a kid's show).

But yeah, the first season is gonna suck. Hard. So just a heads up.

Expect Disney to probably release a reagion 1 DVD of this to go with the movie too...maybe. They did with Fantastic 4.

I think I caught a few episodes when I was younger. I remember being told that indeed, the second season was much better. Would anyone say it was about on par with X-men TAS? I'd be satisfied with an iron man cartoon of that quality.

I don't think anything Marvel has done is equal to X-men: TAS, but then again I don't remember much of Iron Man.

I wish they would release all the Marvel shows from the 90's on DVD. I enjoyed both Spider-man and X-men in all their full blown cheesiness. I liked Iron Man to as a kid and I remember watching Hulk too. The only one I never liked was Fantastic Four but I never liked them to begin with.

No, X-Men is kinda on a tier all its own, at least in regard to that era of Marvel animation.

The second season of Iron Man, in addition to better animation and a darker approach, had a much more focused pace with an actual developing story arc (not even the excellent second season of Fantastic Four had that, really).
