Giving it a chance...


I had heard of this show previously, but I wasn't interested in it from the description. Once I started watching an episode, though, Super Hero Squad seemed to have a similar vibe to cartoons from my childhood. Personally, I miss the innocence, silly jokes, and straightforward plots that most kids cartoons seem to lack. Even if this show is a far cry from the mainstream Marvel universe, it's not unwatchable, a least from what I've seen.

I gave it a chance.
I'm glad that I did. It is a fun show.

Don't trust reality. After all, it's only a collective hunch.

Same here, I stumbled across this show by accident last week and found it hysterical. I don't mind the satire at all, in fact, I like the silliness of it all. I've been recording and watching it recently and enjoying it.

I too found it by accident. It was already on episode 5 I think. I found the humor and lighthearted approach fun and refreshing. Not every comic or comic show has to be brooding, suffering Dark Knight stuff. BTW I like Brave & The Bold stuff too. I'm glad comics are taking a turn into another direction instead of stuck in a rut. There is nothing wrong with the grim and hopeless anti-hero stuff. But nice there are other avenues to approach a character.

I had given up on watching this show for a couple of reasons, mostly because my schedule wouldn't allow me to keep watching it. Then I forgot about it.

After watching a couple of clips of this cartoon on Youtube, I decided to make time and started watching this series again a couple of days ago. Maybe it's because there's no "chase the fractal" quest, but I'm enjoying these episodes a lot more. I'm surprised at how far into the Marvel universe this show is digging as far as characters are concerned. I mean, Beta Ray Bill? Wow.
