"The Super Hero Squad Show" News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

[Racattack!Force]

You guys are really complaining about the designs of a cartoon aimed at kids starting at 4 years old? What's next, complaints that there isn't enough blood?

Heh, must've missed that part. Explains both the designs and the name. Probably going to early mornings.

 

[creativerealms]

yeah it is aimed at younger kids.

 

[J!!!]

I hope this comedy based so it won't be horrible.

 

[Silverstar]

I hope this comedy based so it won't be horrible.

Given the designs, it would pretty much have to be a comedy.

 

[Racattack!Force]

The premise makes me laugh.

When the greatest heroes on the planet unite to face the world's greatest villains, you get the biggest, most family-friendly Super Hero team-up in TV history…Marvel Super Hero Squad. It's no small job protecting Super Hero City from VillainVille's infamous criminals…But Iron Man, Wolverine, the Hulk, the Silver Surfer, Thor and the Falcon are always up for the job.

Shouting "Hero Up!" as they rush into battle, the Squad must keep Dr. Doom's allies from gathering pieces of the Infinity Sword. Otherwise, Doom will use the Sword to rule the universe! Luckily, the City is filled with Marvel Super Hero guest-stars to help out in a pinch. These brave heroes totally deliver the action—but with plenty of humor on the side.

Any chance of me taking the show even remotely seriously has now flew out the window. Super Hero City? VillianVille? Honestly...

I think it is quite understandable. For the first time we get a huge cast of Marvel Characters in the same show yet instead of it being taken seriously, it's aimed at pre-schoolers.

The complaints about The Brave and the Bold are the ones I don't get: We've had two really good Batman cartoons in the past two decades; having one aimed at the kiddies doesn't really matter because you'll probably get ANOTHER good Batman cartoon a few years down the line.

 

[Danzigg]

Hey I think this great, New fans to the Marvel Universe, we need stuff like this guys. Kids will love this and when they mature they will watch the Marvel cartoons aimed at older age groups and then onto comics.

Yeah it's the muppet babbies of the Marvel World but hey new fans/readers are the life blood of this industry in fiercely competive marketplace. I'm just looking at the bigger picture.

Brave/Bold isn't aimed at preschoolers, it's aimed at the 6-11 age group. Totally different game field. Brave/Bold is an action show with a does of comedy. This Marvel show is going to be all comedy for the most part.

I wouldn't want to live in SuperHero City or VillainVille...I bet them two places suffer more collateral damage than a mofo.

 

[spyke]

People said the same thing about the Brave and Bold until they saw it in motion. Perhaps the same could be said about this one.

You know people keeps saying this show could air on YAH but what about Saturday Throwdown? Except for Bakugan,Pokemon and Transformers Animated the rest of the shows are just reruns of YAH. They could put the show there and add something new to the block.

True, and after having just seen the intro for this show, I have to say that the animation looks pretty darn good. Color me impressed. I'll definitely will be watching this show.

 

[Racattack!Force]

But MSHS couldn't possibly be on an action block like YAH. A show aimed at 6-8 year olds would be out of place with shows for tweenagers.

No it wouldn't. Except for CLONE WARS, those action shows are aimed at kids 6-11.

 

[Racattack!Force]

Yeah, but all the shows on the block do best with the 9-14 audience.

though this seems to be an insult

what?! it could go without the "super-deformed" look and still appeal to kids

 

[Antiyonder]

It's not suppose to be taken seriously. Now if they were promising deep sophisticated stories and heavy drama, and then gave that description, then I understand the criticism.

Fair enough, but being super deformed isn't automatically a bad thing either.

 

[creativerealms]

Brave and the bold targets hard core DC comics fans as much as it targets little kids if not more. The show also handles death far better then most action cartoons out there, probably just as good as the DCAU handled death. by not sugercoating it in the slightest.

This show better be funny because any action scenes will look kind of weird.

Speaking of which...

Whatever happened to that Marvel Babies concept that was proposed 2 1/2 years back? That sounded downright hilarious.

 

[henrysmythe]

Very disappointed that Spidey and his cast seem to be the only Marvel characters being excluded from this series but I'll definitely check it out. Can't wait to see this show's version of Doctor Doom.

 

[Racattack!Force]

Can't wait to see this show's version of Doctor Doom.
