Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Superheroes

I recently re-watched all of X-Men Evolution, and its first two years were even weaker than I remembered. I think the first season would be stronger if you cut it down into maybe eight episodes, maybe by combining the worthwhile material from two consecutive episodes into one episode with two plotlines. The problem was that they took too long just introducing the players one or two at a time; there was a ton of stuff that didn't advance the storyline and wasn't interesting on its own. (They also went to such lengths to introduce their own new character Spyke, and then they forgot to make him interesting.)

The show doesn't really take off until the existence of mutants is publicly revealed at the end of season 2. That's when it really starts to feel like X-Men. The show gets more intense and serious with each season.

Still, overall, I liked the show's approach. I loved how most of the characters didn't clearly break down into white hats and black hats. Members of the X-Men and the Brotherhood clashed as rivals but weren't really mortal enemies. Sometimes they cooperated, individual allegiances shifted, interpersonal relationships were often ambiguous both between and within the factions, and often the Brotherhood members were just as much protagonists as the X-Men, in the sense that they were the focus of the stories and presented sympathetically even when they weren't being good guys.

It's hard in that X-Men is supposed to be an ensemble piece, and people are still divided on who exactly the central characters are. X-Men EVO decided to give Cyclops his due by making him one of the central characters (if not THE central X-Man character) and made him a more interesting and likable one in the process, while Wolverine was a good character who nonetheless was there to get beat up a lot to show how hard the villains are.

Basically the inversion of the movies.

With Spider-Man it's easy who the main character is, and thus easier to write his series.

Also, X-Men can't decide whether it's a human rights story or one about super-heroes who go fight in other galaxies against mad God-aliens. EVO mercifully went for the Earth-Bound human rights stuff, so we don't have to worry about Scott's Space Pirate father nonsense.

I enjoyed the latest FF series. I own it and the 90s one. I did not find the character designs that jarring. This is probably due to my being a fan of Code Lyoko. Still, I never found Sue to be that attractive. I thought she appeared too skinny. Otherwise I found the show to be enjoyable fluff. Too bad they did not get to tackle Galactus.

Spec Spider-Man: Excellant show! Yes it took me a bit to get used to the design style. But once I saw the fight scenes, especially in season 2, all doubts were cast aside. Now I anxiously await the next season, and hope that there are many more.

Wolverine and the X-men: Another excellant series! The first season was very well done, I hope season 2 is just as good.

Iron Man Armored Adventures: Even though I do not read the comics, this shows still took some getting used to. However I have come to find it quite enjoyable. Heck, I even laugh (as opposed to groan) at Pepper's hijinks. I am curious to see where the show goes from here.

Super Hero Squad Show: I know I should not watch this show, buit for some reason I cannot resist its charm. Imagine Teen Titans mixed with SD Gundam and you get some idea what this show is like. It is completely insane and immature. But I cannot help smiling when I watch it.

^As far as I know, no decision's been made on whether Spec Spidey will get a third season or not.
