    I wasn’t expecting much, but that looks like it’ll be really fun. I’m impressed.

    Oh hey, Shredder found some work. Good for him.

    Animation looked weird. A videogame cutscene, kind of like that South Park WoW episode.

    Doesn’t look as bad as I expected it to be, considering the complete failures of animation that have hallmarked the Marvel Comics past.

    With the exception of X-MEn Evolution - that was some good stuff. The Spectacular Spider-Man is good too; smart, but expressly FOR KIDDIES.

    The expressions are a little flat. I’m not feeling the love for this yet.

    I’m surprised the animation isn’t called Kid Iron Man. I’m not impressed. The animation looks great, but I’m just not liking the “Teen Tony Stark” take on this character. I would have much rather seen an animated continuation of Downey’s Stark and his adventures as Iron Man.

    Well I’m sure Blog@readers are the target demographic of this, so the negative reaction of the above posters is sure to be heard and taken seriously.

    I agree, with the movie doing so well why not a continuation of the movie. Marvel tried Tony Stark as a teenager back in the 90’s, it didn’t work. All of Tony Stark’s back-story are gone as teenager.

    Eh teen Tony doesn’t work for me but the animation is cool (compared to some other Saturday morning atrocities out there right now). I guess since I won’t be watching I hope it’s good for the kids who will.

    It really angers me that Marvel continues to market their products toward the children. If you go to a comic book store, and I’m their twice a month you almost never see any children buying comic books. Don’t they know their core audience are people in their late teens and older?

    I’m sure this kid Iron Man cartoon will do well for them, but who is getting left behind? The ones who make Marvel money, us, the older and real fans. Stop with the kid crap please.

    “I’m sure this kid Iron Man cartoon will do well for them, but who is getting left behind? The ones who make Marvel money, us, the older and real fans. Stop with the kid crap please.”

    Kids watch cartoons, love them, beg their parents to buy toys, Marvel makes money. Maybe kids transfer love of the cartoon to the comics, become future comic readers, the comic industry survives a bit longer. Those kids, when older, buy their own comics and toys, and transfer love of that crap to their kids, who beg for the toys and comics, etc. etc. etc.

    What? No sex or alcohol in an IronMan cartoon?

    Great update on the Mandarin with the Ronin Warriors Armor.

    Looks very nice. I’ve been told it apparently owes a lot to Ultimate Iron Man as well.

    You don’t see kids in comic shops because the last decade had a whole lot of other stuff that drew them away from the fold, some of which was comics-related (bad girls, EXTREME ATTITUDE, rising paper costs) and some that weren’t (the rise of video games, the Internet). Why people would complain when Marvel’s reaching out and trying to restock the comic lover’s population with younger generations is insanely beyond me…

    Ah yes…the circle of geekdom

    Absolutely unbelievable. I wouldn’t be reading comics if it wasn’t for the 90s Spider-Man and X-Men cartoons. If Marvel can use this to bring in new readers then fair play to them. Personally i’d love to see a cartoon based on Marvel Adventures Avengers. Animated MODOK Avengers? I’d buy the toys for those!

    First up, your media player sucks go here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWRXDZolZTI to watch a better version.

    I will give the show a shot because I’m a comics/cartoons junkie, but I’m very unimpressed with what I’ve seen. I hate the computer animation and always have. Nobody knows how to animate characters to make them look like they’re actually walking and using joints, no articulation, no facial expressions. I just looks cheap and crappy. I hated when the Spiderman animated series would cut in computer animation, it just looks plain bad!

    I have to wonder how Tony is going to get the plate in his chest now that he’s only 16, they certainly wouldn’t have him making deals in Vietnam or Iraq.

    I have to wonder if this show is meant to replace the Avatar, if so, someone at Nick fudged up BAD!

    I agree with you, Johnny Zito! The Mandarin looks great! I’m really digging that new design.

    Unless you work at Pixar…

    I wonder if this is going to work more like Orson Scott Card’s “Ultimate Iron Man” storyline.

    Ah geeks. Always with the perpetual “Me! Me! Me!” attitude that gives us a bad rep.
    That said, this reminds me of the Spider-Man cartoon that was on MTV a few years ago.

    Ugghh…the Adventures of Iron Man…when he was a boy…

    Meh. Marvel tried teen Tony in the comics and it sucked, and Marvel tried that super-cel-shaded CG style on the MTV Spider-Man series and it sucked. More power to the kids, which this is obviously aimed at, but I’ll be passing on it and hoping that those kids don’t decide to make Tony a teenager again when they’re writing the comics in another 20 years.

    Are you all idiots? That cgi looked like crap, Marvels to freakin lazy to hire someone to animate it and put in a real storyline that could be enjoyed by kids and adult fans. This is just worthless. It will be forgotten so fast. I just hate Marvel so much, that they had so much potential from the Iron Man movie and then they make this. There doing it to save money I’m guessing, the stlye looks like crappy european animation house teletoon or some stupid start up cgi company from nicktoons. I’m sure that whoever they hired never read a damn comic. F this cartoon.

    coming to the CGI, i can gaurantee you its going to be one of the best…….the stories are fun……our work has been even more fun. Everyone please give this one a chance to show before you start your holy advices. thanks.

    In a civil case, a judge can allow the jury to question a document-destroying party’s intentions. For example, judges in certain cases will tell jurors they should assume missing documents are harmful simply because they were destroyed–even if they never see the contents.

    The only anime I’ve ever liked is AppleSeed…
