Today in A Bit Too Made for Me

Okay, so Diz has created a new animated series about the Avengers entitled Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

My 9 year old just follows the main plot and doesn't sweat the backstory. Usually when he asks me questions about stuff, it's because he knows I am a walking encyclopedia about comics trivia, not because he's confused.

So the main plot's still accessible? That's good. I was honestly unsure how well kids would react to the constant flow of new characters.

Say what you will about cartoons based on toys, you got to know the characters. Until Wave 2 came out. But there was enough consistency.

Justin,

My 9-year-old son thinks it is absolutely awesome. And I'm not bothering to tell him most of the trivia.

[thebitterguy]

Cool. I'll bet this is great family viewing in your place.

There's at least one guy under thirty who kind of loves this show, and that'd be this guy.

Besides, guys over 30 buy DVD sets, and kids will just absorb this shit like a sponge. Disney is kinda brilliant with this.

[thebitterguy]

Yeah, I have no idea where the revenue streams on this thing would be. TV ad, action figure sales, dvd sets, on demand, etc?

I love that it just doesn't show truly epic knock-down superhero biff-fests, but it shows how Hydra, AIM, etc all link together taking the interweaven nature of the Marvel Universe for granted (and if we have Grim Reaper and Wonder Man - how long until the Vision shows up.)

I think the writing nails it, I just wish the animation was better.

[thebitterguy]

Hmmm. I wonder if the Scarlet Witch is caught up in the X-Men license.

The animation is pretty good; at least on par with some of the DC OAVs.

I'm also kind of ashamed to admit I really like the theme song.

Wow. That sounds like something I'd totally watch, if I watched TV anymore. (Speaking as a non-guy over 30.)

It's really fun. And pretty easy to "find" online.
