The GotG cartoon clings way too desperately to its dependence on the movie, going so far as to borrow a lot of its ideas and even quotes from it. Consequently, it doesn't explore as much as it should. There is a neat story arc about a war between Asgard and Spartax, and you will see a bit of world building here and there. The things that nag at me become much louder as the season progresses, like needing to steal quotes from the movie in an entirely separate context. And no one who writes any of Marvel's cartoons has ever picked up a comic with Thanos in it, he's so one-dimensional and generic in the shows. It's a shame.
The animation looks great, and there are some genuinely amusing quips and fun character interactions. It starts strong and fizzles out, really. I enjoyed half of the first season, but my uncompromising Guardians love probably colors my perceptions a bit. It's the best Marvel cartoon I've seen, which probably isn't much of a compliment.

Finally. An updated Symbiote Spider-man. With clenched fists.

I like that Angela. Todd McFarlane selling Angela to Marvel was the best thing that happened to her career.

I hate to trash Hasbro, but I feel the TV series figures are a waste. When a billion dollar movie like the Avengers can't even get the entire crew/bad guys made, why do Netflix spin offs? The other figures they're doing look great though.

Todd McFarlane didn't sell Angela to Marvel, technically the decision was never his to make. Neil Gaiman created the character so while she originates from McFarlane's Spawn it was Gaiman who held the actual rights and was therefor able to transfer her into Marvel. I still don't really care for what they've used her for in the comics though. None of it's trash but it's not really good either. When she was just a being from another universe where she was a hunter from some Heaven who joined up with the GotG it was okay but then Marvel decided that the character needed to be tied to a mainstay so they slopped together a TV soap opera story of how she was actually Thor's long lost half-sister. This new toy is honestly the best thing Marvel has done with the character and even then it's really Hasbro doing this since Marvel doesn't dictate who gets toys and this was a fan vote anyway. All that being said I'm going to try and get one.

I know it's pretty much what already happened in Spawn but I was kind of hoping to see her and Ghost Rider either partner up or face off against each other.
Oh well. Not like he's around anymore anyway. |

Just was looking at the JJ figure again. I absolutely love her!!! She already has a place with my Avenger setup!!!!!! Excited to see Mary Jane, Shocker and Tombstone as well.
There are less than what, 12 figures announced and the articulation is bad (has been worse) but I am opening my wallet up Hasbro. Cheers for not giving up on us. |

Though I still need a 4 inch Kingpin, the fact that we're getting an updated Magneto (totally head swapping or trimming the hair) and a Ronin two pack, my villain want list dwindles. Though I still want a Justice, America Chavez, Bishop Hawkeye, White Toger and Hellcat for my collection, we've got a lot of good stuff, and I feel oodles better about the line as a whole.
So it's an updated MJ? Since we already had her in the MU already...kind of weird that they're doing that, unless it's actually supposed to be a 6 inch version which then I can understand. Quote:
The only sex scene that felt right actually being shown was the first time with Luke Cage because it was funny watching two superpowered people break an apartment in the act. The entire thing of seeing Trish and Simpson having sex though was just in your face "look how TV-MA we can be!"
Flash would suck if it tried to be dark or moody, this is why I didn't like Man of Steel. Some heroes shouldn't be dark/moody/grim, some were made to be fun and actually, y'know, heroic. Quote:

I'm pretty happy with these reveals. Those Guardians sets look mediocre, and I wish they'd left them the same colors so Groot would still work with the rest of the team. They've really worked those molds to death. Very excited for Maestro, Superior Iron Man, and Moon Knight.

Some pretty cool reveals, but if I really had to strip it down to the "bare essentials", I d say that I really looking forward for Cyclops, Symbiote Spiderman and Angela. The rest are ok, but I would only buy them if the budget allowed.
I do have to admit that Hasbro seems to have picked up the pace with these new reveals however. Some of them are completely new sculpts with pretty good paint so thats always a welcome change. |

My top three favorite reveals are Green Goblin, Dazzler, and Darkhawk. Although, Cycops is right up there.

Darkhawk was interesting I agree, just not a "must-have" imo. Dazzler ?! Not only the character is not very popular but I thought she didn't look that attractive either.... definite pass for me :/ |

Sorry for the lack of knowledge here, but exactly who the hell is Angela?

It makes about as much sense as the WildCATs being part of the DC universe.

More importantly, how the hell did she beat Mysterio, Cosmo, and everyone else from the poll, when she's not even been in Marvel Comics for three years? That's just ridiculous, and I'm sorry to any Angela (who again?) fans out there, but Cosmo or Mysterio should've won.

I think part of the reason she won was her Spawn fans. Spawn was never a great comic but her character quickly built a fanbase and after the early McFarlane action figure days she hasn't seen any toys since due to ownership issues. So the ability for her to finally get a new toy was enticing as opposed to more established Marvel characters like Mysterio who are more deserving in this scale but at the same time we may get down the line anyway.

Has been for a while. When DC/Warner Bros. bought Wildstorm entertainment they integrated some of the Wildstorm universe into the DC universe. When the NEW 52 happened the Wildstorm Universe became one of the 52 universes in the DC Multiverse. They even had a short lived Voodoo series, Zelot showed up in Deathstroke for a few issues , Superman fought Helspont and some Daemonites, and Spartan and Lord Imp showed up somewhere.

Voodoo and Grifter both had their own comics at the start of nu52. Voodoo's was a fun read. Even had a cameo from the Flash which I hope they find a way to work that into the show. |

Netflix only has maybe 5 characters DareDevil , Jessica Jones , Luke Cage , and soon Iron Fist, then Punisher. Then you have 3 extra spaces for well for villains, so purple man for JJ, Jigsaw or someone else for punisher , and add a villain for iron fist or luke cage. Have the BAF as Kingpin either way it can be a small line of characters |
