More Superhero Cartoons
Oct. 5th, 2010 03:08 pmDC-wise, Brave and the Bold is awesome, fun, and the kind of cartoon that kids shoud be watching, except for certain parts like the song that the Birds of Prey sang about how many superheroes were bad in bed. /I/ sure enjoyed watching that bit, though. Also it has Jaime Reyes, which is YAY! and an ep with Ted and Booster, which is Not Avaliable in the US Yet. (sad).
Marvel-wise, I've been watching the little preview videos for the Avengers cartoon, and most of them look pretty nice, though I will admit that the Avengers aren't really tops on my list of superhero teams. Still, they're entertaining enough, and the show looks to be decent. They have deviated from the norm somewhat in one area that makes me alittle iffy-feeling, though. Typical cartoon logic is that WWII was fought against generic bad guys in gray, occasionally with skull and crossbones logos, by Captain America and Wolverine. They've got episodes like this in both the 90s X-Men series and Evolution. In the upcoming cartoon, WWII was fought by the allies against supervillains, named HYDRA, which makes me... twitch... a little bit? I just don't like it. For one thing, I think whitewashing history for kids is NEVER a good idea- I read about Henry VIII constantly as a kid, and I turned out fi- anyway, the point is that history is something everybody needs to know, and trying to fictionalize it like this... it makes me distinctly uncomfortable.
There was also a Wolverine cameo, by the way, for those keeping count.
