On the other hand, they avoided naming Dr. Doom outright, suggesting maybe they don't have clearance to use the main FF characters (or maybe just the FF characters seen in the movies, which are under license by another studio).
They've used Doom and Reed in The Super-Hero Squad. If they can use those characters in that show, why not in this one?
Anwar I'm guessing Teletoon aired it....I just found it online. Hmmm they have stated that more Marvel characters would be appearing in Ultimate Spider-Man. It will be interesting if they do come out and say they overlap with each other and yes I was talking about when Nick was aged by Baron Zucker, he resembled the 616 Fury. Maria Hill is currently a field commander of the Avengers in the comics since the Heroic Age began and appointed to that position by Steve Rogers and has had romantic relations with Tony Stark so her edginess towards Stark in the cartoon I found amusing.
The Wikipedia article lists Doom as a reoccurring character in this...we've just not seen him yet.

Teletoon 8pm Eastern on Friday nights.
Doesn't look they repeat the eps at any point (guess they've gotta repeat their other shit 1000 times first).
Loki being behind the breakout would allude to Loki being the threat that originally brought the Avengers together in the comics. The micro-eps established that Loki has some sort of scheme at the moment involving the Odinsleep. And as they made a point of bringing up the Odinsleep, and that it only lasts a week, I suspect that that story will be told in one of the early eps.
Yep. I don't think they avoided saying Doom's name for legal reasons; I think they were just trying to be cute. Wolverine / Logan has already appeared by name, so if they can use that Fox obligated character, then they can also use others like Fantastic Four.
Good point. I'd forgotten about that, since I don't watch that show.
Well, you can't always trust Wikipedia entries to be accurate. It could be that someone inserted Doom's name there because Tony alluded to him in "Breakout" Part 1. Though on the other hand, there is a notation on the page advising that information must be verifiable, and when I edited the page to list Scott Menville as the voice of Bucky (because it was obviously him just from listening -- his voice is very distinctive), it was deleted by the following day, presumably because there's no verified source for it. So you may be right.
there is the Black Widow and i'm not convinced she's going to be a villain. like Hawkeye, she started out as a villain and quickly became a hero. she may be working deep cover ops to bring down Hydra from the inside. just my theory anyway.
but yeah, more female characters would be good.

Definitely. And hopefully better-written than she was in the '90s Hulk series. Cree Summer's voice performance as Shulkie was awesome, but the season she was featured in was rather silly overall.
I don't know if it's "Young Justice" or "Avengers" but one of these shows apparently has free range on any character
It's Young Justice that has free use of any DC character, including the formerly-restricted ones like Wonder Woman.
I loved the title. "Some Assembly Required" is an obvious but delightfully appropriate title for this episode, and it fit too, because the story was about "assembling" the team on both a logistical and a psychological level.
And I agree, Janet was delightful here. A bit juvenile -- in both appearance and behavior she comes off more as a teenager than a wealthy heiress and financial backer -- but she does bring the fun.
I don't much care for the structure, having the Hulk leave the team immediately after he joined it. I mean, what the heck was the point of featuring the Hulk equally to the other characters in the micro-episodes and doing that big thing about having him become a hero in the premiere if he was just going to leave the show an episode later? I think they're being too slavish to the order of events in the original comics. Random and arbitrary shifts of direction like that happened in the comics because they were making it up as they went along, but a TV adaptation has the luxury to distill the most important elements of the saga and structure them in a more cohesive way.
Then again, maybe the Hulk will continue as a recurring character over the season/series. I hope so. Then it wouldn't seem like such a waste of time to focus so much on him at the start.
Of course, there is some distilling going on here, seeing as how they're bringing in the Negative Zone prison from Civil War even as they're retelling the debut story of the comic from four decades earlier. I wonder how much of Tony's dark turn from CW will be incorporated here. I'm not sure how well it'd fit with this Downey-esque version of Stark -- particularly since the voice actor used the same carefree, snarky tone when speaking of his mother's death that he does the rest of the time, so I'm not convinced he has the emotional range needed.
