Not Too Bad
If you’re looking for something as well-written as Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, you won’t find it here. But if you’re looking for a pretty decent Saturday Morning Cartoon, you’ve found one! This is more something to throw on when you want to turn your brain off and watch some classic superheroes fighting supervillains. There is a little bit more to it than that, though.
The cast being relatively obscure heroes (compared to the usual line up of Iron Man, Captain America, etc) is interesting. How often do you get to see Tigra take center stage, or have Ultron as your most recurring villain? It doesn’t exactly go very deeply into any of these characters…except one: The Vision. They adapted his comic origin involving Wonder Man’s brainwaves pretty closely, and it’s really neat to see what they do with it. He’s the only character that, I think, they really try and analyze in a more meaningful way. As a Vision fan, that made me happy.
The voice cast does their job well. The animation isn’t anything astounding, but I do like the artstyle they went with. Some of the designs aren’t exactly my favorites; you can tell they were trying to make them as toyetic as possible.
All in all, you could do much worse when finding something simple and easy to watch.
