Hey, Marvel!
Since you're already making feature-length movies that no one is gonna watch anyway...
Would it really be too much to ask that we get SOMETHING featuring the Invaders?
I mean, one of the coolest episodes of the 90's Spider-Man cartoon was the "Six Forgotten Warriors" arc that featured the old Timely characters. Both X-Men cartoons did a WWII episode and they were both awesome.
If you're making these damned things, why not do something that will make people say, "COOL!" rather than the half-assed Iron Man movie you've just released? No one is gonna watch that. Seriously. I saw "Ultimate Avengers". It had it's good points. Most of them were in Captain America and Thor. Cap, who you wisely decided to not portray at the stick-up-his-ass idiot that he is in the Ultimate Universe, and Thor, who is generally a cool character anyway. Tony was not entertaining. Tony wasn't even memorable enough for me to remember he existed from scene to scene. And now you make an Iron Man movie?
You seemed to have realized that it was a good idea, a WWII-centered thingy. You had announced development on a wartime Captain America cartoon. This was shortly before the trainwreck that was the Avengers cartoon came out, mind. And the reason you gave for stopping it was... aheh... "there were too many Nazis on television." Wait. Really? Are they just popping out of shadows left and right? 'Cuz damn, I must have been blind. And I fail to see how this even holds up -- they're gonna be the BAD GUYS. You aren't going to be cuddling them and giving them lollipops. Cap was gonna be smashing their helmets in with his shield every week.
I was honestly excited about this. It would mean that Cap would need a supporting cast beyond Bucky. That surely meant some awesome Invaders action at some point. Plots would have been ridiculously simple for a cartoon. An experiment gone wrong and zomg flaming fucking Frankenstein. A misplaced depthcharge and there's an undersea ruler in ur streets, flooding ur citiez. Not hard. And plot fodder! Yey! But even with honest-to-goodness GOOD plot fodder, you tossed it away in favor of... what? Half a season of badly-drawn Avengers with horribly-done costume design?
The Invaders could be the most awesome series ever if done right. I mean, you got your heroic leader, your emo-wangst non-human, and your "piss the fuck off, I hate you all" guy that none-the-less helps anyway. Clearly the equation for awesome group dynamics. And it would all be set in WWII. AWESOME.
And yet, you do Iron Man.
I really don't understand you, Marvel.
It's a good thing Marvel never reads my rants at them. As much as I want there to BE an Invaders cartoon, my luck it would end up being set in the modern day, with them fighting our current enemies. *sigh*
