It's official


This is a dead board. 1 posting in a year and a half, and not one in over a year. Wow! I know this isn't the greatest show on earth, but it does deserve more love than that. I'm going have to sitdown and watch it again and let you know about it. If there is anyone out there...

Readiness is all.

I promise at least of us is out here. :)

I just ordered this series a few days ago & will get it watched as soon as I can. After that, I'll totally be back to discuss it with you!

Season 2 is so much better than season 1. So hang in there. There are some very good moments in the 1st season.

Readiness is all.

The first seasons of Iron Man and the Fantastic Four are part of the reason I feel, that the Marvel Action Hour (or Marvel Action Universe as it was known in Season 2, with Biker Mice from Mars being added to the equation) didn't last beyond two seasons. I'm guessing that viewers got burned by the piss-poor quality (especially in comparison to other superhero cartoons at the time like Batman: The Animated Series, Gargoyles, and Marvel's own X-Men and Spider-Man: The Animated Series on Fox) and were reluctant to come back. It probably didn't help that both Iron Man and Fantastic Four were syndicated (which naturally resulted in inconsistent time-slots), during a time in which the market for first-run syndicated action cartoons was slowly but surely dying.

If you look at Seasons 1 and 2 of both shows, back to back, they feel like totally different shows (with only the main voice actors such as Robert Hays, Beau Weaver, Lori Alan, and Chuck McCann being the connective tissue). Season 1 of both shows in hindsight, feel like something that was made ten years out of date. Season 2 are essentially mean to be Marvel's way of atoning for the mistakes that they made in Season 1.

May 5th 2016, I'm here baby. Just bought the entire series off Amazon, just now starting it. After just finishing all 5 seasons of the 90's xmen show

X-Men was one of the greatest cartoons of all time. This FF is not, so try not to compare. Please.
