Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes... Tony Love Ahead!

Oct 26, 2010 22:34

Okay, so I was planning on reviewing/squeeing over The Next Avengers one of these days, but unfortunately before I could do so, I watched Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes and let me tell you... I am so besotted, it's slightly scary. It has intelligent plots! Villains with motives! Intelligent use of powers! Science! Fun! And already the promise ( Read more... )

Eee! <3 This was fantastic!

Ummm *shy* We'd love to have you over at earthsmightiest... y'know, if you're interested. Oh God, I am the worst most awkward mod ever hahaha

fictivore October 26 2010, 16:25:37 UTC

Thank you!!! Oh and totally... I hadn't gotten around to searching for that comm yet... (I'm a bit new to all this, myself... *hee*)

You are the most endearing mod ever XD

<3 *blush* Heh, I'm new to modding and trying so hard to not epically mess up forever.

I totally hear you <3 I love the series and I'm just really excited to see where it's going. As far as the animation, I really don't mind it persay...it's one of those things that I think you just get used to...kind of like how "Spectacular Spiderman" was like (O_o)' in the character design as well, but the story made it all work.
I personally am happy Tony is leading the Avengers...though I'm not sure if it's because Marvel likes him or it's because his movies were a success and he's the golden cash cow for now. I want to see Steve too, but I believe next episode focuses on the Hulk being controlled by the Enchantress.
As for Hank...yeah I was like (._.) you know...I never knew Hank was that hott before. Then I went.....D8 Hey, how come Tony isn't hot? Poor Tony...I suppose they figure since Tony is going to be in his armor most the time, why worry...lol.
Bottom line - great series and I'm just going to enjoy the ride.

fictivore October 26 2010, 16:38:54 UTC

Oh, I like the animation overall... Actually I like ALL of it... Except... Tony (and Pepper a bit)... Because Tony is supposed to be HOT, dammit!! That really is about my only problem with the whole thing as of now... (I am VERY happy, I'm sure you can tell *beam*) And WTF-ness at Hank's hotness was literally my first reaction... especially Hank compared to Tony... *is VERY shallow*

And Tony leading is definitely the cash-cow thing... But also, IIRC Tony actually was the first leader of the team in comics as well? No also, continuity... And frankly, with Tony's personality, is he ever gonna agree to work *under* someone he doesn't totally respect (in comics, I think, it's been only Steve and even then he was co-leader, so....)

angel_inoshi October 26 2010, 19:01:27 UTC

I wasn't sure who actually first lead the Avengers since I had some people tell me Thor technically was the first chairman since they were dealing with Loki...but I really have no clue. A lot of my continuity is based more on recent canon and what is retconned really. As for Tony following...[smirks] yeah I can see that. I mean even if technically Maria Hill is the leader of the Avengers...Tony seems to be the one who really is the back-seat leader. I know when the Avengers cameo in other comic lines I keep going...hey, where is Hill? It's oddly weird like that with the Young Avengers too come to think of it...Patriot where did you go? XD

fictivore October 26 2010, 19:25:34 UTC

Oh? I'm not too sure myself, but from the tiny bit of early canon I've seen Tony definitely didn't shy down from telling others what to do... Until, of course Steve got defrosted and he was made field-leader (then he spent a lot of time fan-boying instead!)... And then there's the canon of Force Works, I think? Where the official leader is someone else and there is actual on-page problems because Tony can't take the back-seat and sort-of leads, anyway...

Hill is... You know when Cap first declared she was gonna lead, I was 'yay' coz I thought a)Hill would be sort of leading from the control-room, tactics sort-of thing and b) Tony and Cap would both be working together on the field, apparently under Hill but obviously sort of taking control unconciously, so there'd be all sorts of delicious tension. Then it turns out that Steve is NOT gonna on the team and that Hill (who is completely un-powered) is gonna be on the field... And get owned while at it... That makes me= >:/

What's up with Patriot, btw?? *has no idea*

I know! Thor is adorable, Hank and Jan are perfect, and the zillion and one villain cameos made me squee. Though... am I the only one who thought Bruce/the Hulk and Dr. Sampson were oddly slashy?

Have you seen the Steve & Bucky WWII-era mini episode yet? It has Nick Fury and the Howling Commandos in it, plus a gratuitous Wolverine cameo. And it is awesome.

Tony's character design gets better in the second premiere episode - the shadows under his eyes and stubble go away, though unfortunately his eyes stay the wrong color (dear animators: you included 616 stuff as obscure as the Mandrill, but couldn't remember what color Tony Stark's eyes are? Fail.)

fictivore October 27 2010, 03:57:27 UTC

Yes! Though Thor's adorable-ness is slightly offset by skeevy stalkerish-ness.... Jane Foster is completely kick-ass though!!! And yeah, my slash goggles were definitely turned off during that part but even then I thought it was adorable... (I really was too busy going, '%$&%!!! They included Doc Samson!! First episode!!! *beep beep beepity beep* (o_0)....)

Did you know, they decided to go an easier route without Fury's longevity... So the Fury in that mini was *Jack* Fury, father of Nick Fury.... -_-; Yeah.... But it still makes sense....

Oh yes!! That is so awesome to hear!! :DDD Once I parsed that ya know, that's actual shadow and under-eye circles I got very hopeful about it going away... (lol... I think that's the RDJ influence, right there!)

elspethdixon October 27 2010, 05:30:49 UTC

the Fury in that mini was *Jack* Fury, father of Nick Fury.... -_-;

That's... disappointing. I was really hoping we'd have real Fury in the cartoon, WWII backstory and all (he just doesn't feel right and isn't really the same person without the Howling Commandos backstory). He'd seemed so spot-on between the LMDs and what I'd thought was an appearance in the WWII episode.

(IDK - Toby Maguire is blue eyed, yet somehow Marvel colorists are still able to remember that Peter Parker's eyes are brown. Ditto for HP with blue-eyed Daniel Radcliffe vs. green-eyed Harry Potter.)

fictivore October 27 2010, 09:59:08 UTC

That's true... But their decision makes sense, you know? There would have to be all sorts of explaining to do about his longevity (which was some experimental serum as well, IIRC??) and then the whole line about Nick being a normal human being, sans any modifications, working with metas and trying to fund super-soldiers sort of weak? (And as far as I know, they still haven't explained Dum-Dum Dugan even in the comics... So that comic!origin is pretty weak as well in context of the entire Howling Commandos)

I loved the LMDs!! (I read somewhere that the LMDs were Tony's inventions for Nick? Is that still true in 616, btw? Looks like it might be true in cartoon-verse)

And RDJ definitely has more presence than Tobey! Idk, maybe he's retroactively destroying the blue-ness of Tony eyes! Or its mind-control! ;p Maybe, its supposed to contrast with Steve! Blue-eyed Blond vs. Brown-eyed Brunet! *wishful*
