  • The Super Hero Squad is another halfhearted effort from Marvel animation.

    While DC have created several awesome animated shows, Marvel have not done so well in this department, okay, The Spectacular Spider-Man had an amazing first season, then something went wrong in season 2, which I felt was very "hit and miss". I was looking forward to this particular show, I thought it would be a lot of fun, then I watched the first episode. They weren't exactly aiming high, the jokes were all about bodily noises and snot and they were incredibly juvenile, even the kid I watched it with didn't laugh at these jokes, I give todays kids more credit than so, I don't think they will laugh at twenty fart jokes in a row, the second episode was better, but this is such an uneven show, some episodes are actually decent, then there are the awful ones, really awful ones.

    The animation is shocking, in what way? I'll tell you, the constant re-using of animation that appeared previous in the episode or in previous episodeS is not only distracting, it makes it look cheap. Moments such as these were common in several 80's cartoons, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I have considered the possibility that it may be intended, but why the heck would they do that? The direction is lousy, action scenes, no the animation in general is way too hectic, gags are stretched out longer than needed and there's just no cool action to be found. The characters can also be quite obnoxious and tend to pick on one another at the end of the episode. Thor is the funniest character in my opinion.

    Seems all the money went to the awesome voice cast, yes, this is the series biggest drawing point, the voice talent involved is amazing, from Tom Kenny, Steven Jay Blum, Tara Strong, Charles Adler to Robert Englund, Ray Stevenson, Mark Hammill and George Takei. While the action is not any good, and when they don't resort to juvenile gags, it can deliver a couple of clever moments that make me, not laugh, but smile occasionally, the verbal gags are what works best, thanks to the delivery from the voice actors. The Super Hero Squad is one of those shows I only watch whenever there is NOTHING else on, and I can only hope that it's one of the watchable episodes.moreless

    The show is not that bad. I really like some/most of the episodes. My favorite is the mutant High episode. It was funny and I really like Reptil. i love the short storyline with him having a piece of the infinity sword. The First Season's plot reminds me of the Main Storyline of an anime called InuYasha.

    Wolverine is really funny. Iron Man=Leader? Meh..didn't really care much for that,but i guess he fits. Thor's character is really funny,but his storylines/episodes are extremely horrendous. i love Ms.Marvel. I Hope she's part of the main team. I will miss Silver Surfer. He was awesome. No Spider-Man? Just a mention? Eh..ok.moreless

  • A disgrace to Marvel's greatest heroes and villains

    "Bad"
    I remember growing up watching some of Marvel's greatest cartoons based on their heroes, X-Men, Spiderman, and The Hulk. So when I heard of another Marvel show called Super Hero Squad Show, I thought it would be great. i figured the show would either be something like Justice League or be a little bit of a rip off of that show, but after seeing a few episodes of SHSS, I would take a rip off of JL over this garbage. I normally give a show three chances to see if it's good or not and after seeing three episodes, I came to the conclusion that this show is terrible. All the heroes and villains are way out of character and act pretty much nothing like their comic book counterparts and even if this show was meant for kids, look at the 90s X-Men, that was a show both adults AND kids could get into. The Heroes are complete parodies of themselves, which is not necessary at all, we looked at these heroes and love them. Why is there suddenly a parody of them? The artwork, while pretty decent, is way to colorful, there's absolutely no dark atmosphere, everything is all childish and it makes me sick. The villains are just disgraceful, they are bumbling morons and are nowhere threatening at all. The stories are not interesting and most of them are plots I have already seen on another show. The fight scenes aren't even exciting and they are as much fun as watching two3 year old kids fight in the playground. This show could have been an instant classic, but it just fails, the colors are too bright, the stories are one dimensional, and the characters don't act like the superheroes or supervillains that got me into them. I recommend you to watch the 90s X-Men, Wolverine and the X-Men, or just any other Marvel superhero show than this, it's a big disgrace to Marvel and needs to be canceled.moreless

    I have never seen such a horrible adaptation of Marvel superheroes. I've seen JL, I've seen BTBAB, and I've seen other great adaptations, but this is the WORST one yet. The animation sucks! Winx Club's was better--and that show was dull, except for the Witches, Mirta, and that, which wouldn't have made this show any better. Superhero City? They might as well have called it Hero Town. And--Morlok or whoever his name is is incredibly annoying! The voice annoyed me so much, and--fractals?! FRACTALS?! That's the best Genius Bonus they could come up with, a fractal? Weak, man. Reaaaaaaaaaaally weak.

    Pass this show up, watch Justice League or Justice Friends instead.moreless
