I really liked that show. It is for kids, true, but that's not all bad. I think the "problem solving" of how to keep it accessible to kids and updated from the original, but still fresh enough to do its own thing, was great. And the animation style (more for the mech than the people) was cool.
It does start slow but it's worth it. Gene Khan, the Mandarin, is very sympathetic. Actually, lots of the villains have excellent characterization. Plus the armor and tech designs.
Your Beat 'em Ups! Give them to me! My daughter and I have played the hell out of X-Men on my PS3. I'm bored! She's not, she could blow up sentinels with Storm all day long. Are there other button-mashers out there that: -Have a playable female character (so Ninja Turtles are out) -Available on PS3 -Multiplayer I'm aware Dungeons & Dragons: Shadows of Mystara comes out in June. Can't wait. But until then, I need something new since I can't listen to "Nothing stops the Blob!" again.
Rating the Marvel villains so far on a scale from Excelsior (good), to No-Prize (could be explained that they’re either good or bad), to Bullpen Floor (bad): Iron Monger: Excelsior Abomination: No-Prize Loki: Excelsior Red Skull: Excelsior Whiplash: Bullpen Floor Justin Hammer: Excelsior Loki again: Excelsior Mandarin: Excelsior Dark Elf what’s-his-name: Bullpen floor Hydra Conspiracy: Excelsior Ronan: Bullpen Floor Nebula: Excelsior Ultron: No-Prize Did I miss anyone?
I tried to watch that. I couldn't get past the first episode, it was just so painfully bad.
ReplyDeleteDoes it get better? Or do you just find something else about the show (like the robots) to love?
